    A List of the Greatest Pool Players of All-Time

    To that point, I recently watched videos of some matches between the best players from the 1980's and 90's. It looks like a completely different game the way they played back then. All balls spotting up, cue ball behind the line, pushout, and most of all the nappy cloth and the power stroke it...

    Shame on me for forgetting Lassiter.

    A List of the Greatest Pool Players of All-Time

    Of the earlier era Greenleaf was considered the best ever by his peers, over Mosconi who was second. In the modern era Harold Worst was the greatest player I ever saw, then there are a whole slew of seconds starting with Efren and Parica. Sigel, Strickland, Hall and Mizerak are right there as...

    Fedor is single now??

    This kind of explains the slump Fedor was going through. He's had a lot on his mind. Wishing them both the best moving forward.

    It's Been Three Weeks Now......

    Ha Ha, I don't think that way. Just glad to have all the good memories and friends I made there.

    It's Been Three Weeks Now......

    I bought a Diamond Pro after it had been used in a tournament in Vegas. It was a new table, and used only that one week. I had to wait for Glen to come out to the West Coast to bring it to my home and install. He let me know it would be a few months before he headed out that way, since he had...

    It's Been Three Weeks Now......

    In my poolroom in Bakersfield, we got so busy on the weekends that people would play pool on one of my three snooker tables rather than wait for a pool table. The waiting list was usually ten or twelve names long. And we had 22 pool tables. Yes, business was good !

    You don’t want to beat this guy… 😂

    I'm not afraid of them, just prefer to avoid them if possible. Why put yourself in a bad spot if you don't have to?

    Truman was never afraid to speak his mind, to ANYBODY!

    Truman Hogue has passed

    Sad to hear this news. I've known Truman forever. He was long considered one of the best Bank Pool players in the country. All you had to say was Truman and they knew who you were talking about. I loved watching him play, just got down and made those banks with no fanfare or celebrating. He let...

    You don’t want to beat this guy… 😂

    It ain't sexy when bullets are flying. Been there, seen that, everyone's ducking for cover.

    You don’t want to beat this guy… 😂

    It ain't the guns stopping me. It's the enemy at their doorstep, always looking for ways to kill jews. Too much hatred over there. We've got enough right here now. One more thing, the fallacy in your above statement. If there is no chance of that happening, why are they all strapped up? Is it...

    You don’t want to beat this guy… 😂

    I don't know about you, but if I go into a place where I see people carrying weapons like this I'm heading for the exit. Why do I want to hang around anywhere where there may be a shootout. Stray bullets kill! I understand the threat the people of Israel face every day, but I won't be visiting...

    Jonas Magpantay wins the "It's A Small World" Ten Ball Cup! Only 100K for the winner. More than all but one of the other "World Championships!"

    QATAR WORLD CUP 10 BALL, OCT. 28 to NOV. 2, 2025

    Jonas is just one more in a long, long line of Filipino pool playing clones, who all seem to have the same style, same game and keep on getting the same results. Win, win, win, like they've been doing for the last thirty years, dominating pool wherever they go. They are not flashy players and...

    QATAR WORLD CUP 10 BALL, OCT. 28 to NOV. 2, 2025

    100% agree with you. This guy has all the ingredients of a champion. I like the way he studied Shane when he was shooting, trying to see what it was that made Shane so great. Moritz was paying close attention. IMO Moritz will be a world champion one day and it may even be this week. He has that...

    Niels is old school! Nice to see him back in stroke. A harder competitor you won't find. He won't go down easy from here.

    QATAR WORLD CUP 10 BALL, OCT. 28 to NOV. 2, 2025

    Just finished watching Grabe vs. FSR on youtube. What a mess that was. I've never seen Grabe play so bad. Missing many shots and numerous position errors. He made easy shots look hard and hard shots look easy. The only reason the final score was only 11-8 was that FSR's play was also quite...

    QATAR WORLD CUP 10 BALL, OCT. 28 to NOV. 2, 2025

    Watched some matches recorded earlier today and yesterday on Youtube. A few takeaways. Call Shot Ten Ball sucks. These Yalin tables are a little too soft for players of this caliber. The Rasson's were much better. It was hard to adjust back to the original ball colors after looking at the funky...
