To be honest... My vote goes to Mr. John Schmidt. I believe he is due to enter in the Mosconi Cup for the experience. If he loses, he can at least have the idea about how that works and build the confidence to become a better player. After he enters this, win or lose, this will determine...

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF OTHER PEOPLE OR PLAYERS KNOW THE PRESIDENT OF THE USBA! What I am trying to imply here is that the USBA is only as good as the professionalism kept by it's leader-- Dieckman. As 3CushionKing replied about how he felt that President Dieckman was on him for making just a...

Hey there, Rethunk.... Unfortunately, I have other things in plan at the moment. My plans for San Antonio "balked" and I am going to consider moving elsewhere. Nevertheless, I definately do plan on heading to either Corpus Christi or Kingsville just get my feet wet into playing snooker sometime...

I found a nice little article on the only best female carom player of the 20th century. This lady happens to be Japan's legend, Masako Katsura. Enjoy!

Well, I could be wrong.... but here it goes: I believe that in a match in the 2002 Challange of Champions, it was Efren Reyes vs. Hsiao-Lang Fang (or something like that), Efren was going to hit the 6 ball in the side and coincidently drew to the long cushion for a break up (I believe) the...

My Precious! :D

Hey, either this, or no "people" at all. C'mon, they're just having a little fun.. whether it's BS or not. You will encounter people like this when the mainstream will get alot bigger by time. You can't always have things the way you expected them to be. More people will mean that there will be...

REALLY? See, what Ronnie has done in these recent - what... 20 years I believe- might have been something that could've been considered revolutionary, but I completely digress about him being one of the best that has ever held a cue. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfKiGSGdA5k...

Greatest cue genius ever? IMHO, Answer: Walter Lindrum

The Frustrations Among the USBA Speaking as a young 24 year old former billiard player, I have temporarily given up on billiards altogether to focus on my education. I do recall the times being here when Hernan would always post for advice -and give our little Mexican chatter- and eze123 would...

I don't know what it is about you guys posting these webpages and all, but I love it to death! This is why I enjoy forums like this. Thanks, billiardshot, and to everybody else for contributing these hyperlinks to carom enthusiast and players like us. Carom billiards and the state of carom...

Buddy, from what I am reading here, it seems as if you have no idea of what cue to get. I'll give you an answer: ANY CUE! Get a Players cue for all I care--- seriously. "It's not the arrow, it's the INDIAN." If you are going balistic about getting a cue, go for a inexpensive Schon. From...

No offence buddy, but with posts like this, you're gonna start up a s**t storm with JB Cases vs. the other "Non-Jump Cue" committee. Just go to this LINK, go to the 3rd page, and then look at JB Cases post and it pretty much sums up how to jump with a full cue.

Banning phenolic tips.... I am all for jump cues, but I am certainly not for phenolic tips. Very hard leather tips consist of control of English and gives it some skill involved while Phenolic tips are just an easy way of jumping the ball with ease and virtually having no control. Jump cues...

Here's my question: After printing 100 pages of his articles, why not just buy the book? Seriously? It's almost the same as watching the videos only in goes into alot more detail. Not that I am trying to promote his book and all, but I happen to be the proud owner of this book. I used to watch...

Best Frederic Caudron Raymond Ceulemans Daniel Sanchez Willie Hoppe (don't laugh) Worst Zanetti Kind of reminds me: Do you move your back wrist when stroking or do you keep it locked? How are the traditional mechanics of the back hand and the front?

Yea, I am going to consider building one as well. There are only two problems being that I don't know where to buy Filipino Apitong wood for the rails and I would not have a clue on what kind of cue specifications for playing something like that. But I say you should at least confront the guy to...

I hate to burst your bubble there, Johnny, but at least he's making a valiant effort into being in this tournament. Perhaps if you're a Master BCA instructor, learn their language fluently, and bring a table or two, you can possibly make a difference and make a great player over there- you...
