    Rodney Morris' Tainted Past

    He’s a golden gloves boxer i’d take him on my side too lol Dennis and Rodney are both great guys. Their past incidents with the law are more amusing to me than anything else. Some drug related incidents in their early twenties doesn’t really make a scratch on their reputation for being great...

    Rodney Morris' Tainted Past

    Pool isn’t an easy life in the US. There’s no government funding for players like there is in Europe. It’s no secret back in the day (and i’m sure today too) lots of full time players would supplement their income selling drugs. It’s the perfect side hustle. The money is good and it gives you...

    there are only two kinds of cues to own.

    Denny Glenns collection is jaw dropping. If I could i’d visit his collection weekly and just browse for hours.

    Conversion Cues by Unknown Makers

    I discovered Ed Robinson custom cues on Facebook and he does Titlist conversions for a very reasonable price (well below 1k). Can’t say enough good things about Ed’s cues. Even his standard maple shaft I switched over from my predator vantage. Here’s some examples below including my own. I paid...

    Traditional wood shafts making comeback?

    “Cause he's got everything workin' for 'em: timing, touch. It's a great feeling, boy, it's a real great feeling when you're right and you KNOW you're right. It's like all of a sudden I got oil in my arm. The pool cue's part of me. You know, it's a - pool cue, it's got nerves in it. It's a piece...

    Looks like you are getting your pool movie....

    It’s going to suck. I wish they did a sequel to The Color of Money. Maybe Vince has a kid…

    2025 Southwest Cues

    I remember Rodney Morris saying back in the day everyone was using Southwests as break cues 😂 the times sure have changed! lol I don’t get the hype personally, but more power to those that do. Enjoy your cues!

    Where to get Pool merchandise and shirts

    In my opinion a lot of pool clothing is pretty dated and tacky. It’s either some lame boomer biker tattoo prints with pool balls (anyone remember Dead Stroke apparel 😂), hustling related, or some cringey phrase/innuendo/meme plastered on it. If that’s your thing though i’d check out seyberts...

    "Best" 1x1 EXTRA LONG CASE

    I’d just get a GTF if you could find one. Theres enough space in the lid to fit a taller cue (within reason)

    "It's the Indian, not the arrow" the most nonsense I've ever heard.....

    It’s not nonsense. It may not be relevant in your situation, but theres so many new (and old) players out there that buy into the marketing thinking they need to spend thousands of dollars worth of cues to play their best. They see the buzzwords: “most accurate, most powerful, most...

    Reyes & Parica US Open - Unbelievable!

    I take solace in knowing every boneheaded mistake i’ve made, all the top guys have done it too. It’s all part of the journey.

    History of a glove?

    Please tell me you use a different cue for every shot 😂

    History of a glove?

    Unless i’m a sponsored touring pro where my livelihood counts on it and I need consistency everywhere I go, I wont be caught dead wearing one. There’s something about it that screams try-hard. It’s bad enough with the lame shirts and golf bag of cues lol I hope one day SVB starts rocking the...

    The History of Cue Cases?

    Here’s some pictures i’ve found over the years of the Brunswick/AE Schmidt Expert leather case. Interestingly there’s variations of the tooling design. I believe the “Louis Crillo” case is the closest match to Fast Eddies case. Although Eddie’s case is likely brown, it has almost the exact same...

    The History of Cue Cases?

    I disagree. I owned a GTF for over 10 years, and now I have a JB History case which doesn’t have any pockets either. Only accessory I own is one of those last4ever tip tools that I keep in my car.

    power draw?

    Hahah wow kudos for doing a play by play, we couldve just went over a few like Ko, Biado, or Shane because yes some of them I wouldn’t count as power draw either. I think Biados shot is a good example. The 1 stuck out of the pocket just enough where hes too full and couldn’t clip the 1 thin...
