    Dennis O vs Bergman

    I understand agree some pool is better than no pool. Having said that, I doubt I will be buying the stream. I love to watch both play, but the reason I love to watch both are taken away on a bar box. At their level, the congestion of a bar box is diminished to a point. On the other hand, the...

    Which Breaks Better - Diamonds Or Gold Crowns?

    The best breaking table is the table that has the BEST BREAKER playing on it.

    Dennis O vs Bergman

    I've not kept up with anything pool lately, but if they are the same speeds they were the last time I seen both play, the bigger the table the bigger the advantage Dennis would have. Like I said, I've been "out of pool" for a bit, so I can't say without doubt on this match.

    Dennis O vs Bergman

    IMO... Since it's on a BABY BOX they should be changing baby prices. I don't mind watching shortstops or A speed players on bar boxes but top tier pros???? It's to much chanc for a snooze fest. Their level of play should be on a 9' or bigger. I doubt very seriously that TheHotSeat has a say...

    Diamond pool table -- pro am or professional

    Anyone that pays retail for a goldcrown is....well....not very intelligent to say the least. I don't say that cause I don't like em......I do. I love gold crowns. Reason I say that is because ANYBODY can get a gc for VERY close to what a diamond cost. You have to learn to be resourceful...

    Diamond pool table -- pro am or professional

    I have a 9' pro-am. IMO....a 9' pro-am is easier to sell than the professional. They also hold their value well. Having said all that, if you have back problems, you'll want the professional. The ball return kills my back. I've got towels tucked in the pockets of my pro-am so I don't have to...

    Turned 50 today!

    First.....Happy birthday Age and health are two completely different issues. Some are unhealthy and or die in their early 30's. Others lead vibrant healthy lives well into their 80's and beyond. I think Earl said it best: "Pool is a sport you can play regardless of your age as long as you...

    Ripped off?

    EXACTLY the reason I buy from local sellers (cue in hand before I pay) .....or from a production company/dealer. I've NEVER had an issue that wasn't solved with the above ways of purchasing. In the end, it's just a part of buying used equipment from individuals. Jeff

    Would you buy a pool room right now?

    Would I buy pool room? Nope...hell no. No money in it. IMO, there has never been any money in pool rooms. Then again, some say they have made good money in rooms in the past. Then again, what they consider "good money" may not be what some of us call even making a living. One man's junk is...

    Schmelke Cue

    Schmelke is one of the VERY BEST options for a customized cue. They will build a cue: With pretty much any wood you want Any length you want Any weight you want Any balance point you want Etc....etc...etc and all for not much more than most custom cue makers charge for a single shaft. I...

    The road to recovery day 1

    A lot can happen in 6 months...a lot. Thing is, most don't see it. Why? Well, they don't get the simple but oh so ever important things in pool right before they go on their merry way ....and play. It more often than not turns out to be not so much of a merry time for most. I cannot stress it...

    Is the Break Shot Overrated?

    I totally disagree.....big time. Then again, different levels of play REQUIRE a different skillset. Jeff

    Help..tin man or rake

    I understand sir. The transformation is the hard part.....and takes way more dedication than just learning to stand correctly etc...etc. Still though, IMO....learning the next level stuff is useless without a really solid foundation. I know you understand all that....all to well. Much...

    Playing the ghost is NOT EASY

    Thanks for the kind words sir. I'm really glad to hear that your not underestimating the power of "knowing how to ...rack and break......" the best way possible. It's big in ghost play, but it's HUGE when you step to the table for your first time in a match and your opponent just put a pack...

    The road to recovery day 1

    I'll agree on the age/eyesight to a certain extent. It's true, we don't really need to see (as if we could) CONTACT POINTS. Not possible. All we need to see is the edges of the ball and center. Everything else IMO...is not needed....visual wise. Age. Again I agree. 20 or 80.... What does...
