    Questions about the the history of ball in hand

    That might very well be the history of what eventually became Texas Express. Very interesting.

    Questions about the the history of ball in hand

    Terry Bell told me that when the APA was formed, they used rules that the professionals were using at the time. The APA founders were professionals, and they had received input from other professionals who played 8-ball. So the APA had full table ball-in-hand rules from the start, which I...

    Questions about the the history of ball in hand

    One foul ball-in-hand predates Texas Express. There are other rules that came from Texas Express like all balls stay down.

    Travis Trotter

    I think when Cuetec became a much better product with which to play, Travis's game went south.

    Best All-Around Production Cue for ~$1000 (Value, Playability, Durability, Support)?

    I don’t know what you mean by “production cue.” What are the characteristics you are looking for that would qualify it as a production cue? Do you mean “high volume, catalog cues?”

    Billiard game from the early 1900's

    I don’t what the game was called, but there would have been one hole at each end. The evolution would be like croquet, where prior to the hole, they had a wicket at each end. You can see the evolution to other games including one pocket billiards and bumper pool.

    EUROPEAN OPEN 2026, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, March 10-15

    Central Europe is 5 hours ahead until they themselves go on summertime at the end of the month this year. It’s always a schedule juggle when the clocks change, having weekly work calls with the Europe and Asia regions or any country that have a different time zone schedule, if they switch at all.

    Is your most often used cue and favorite cue, the same?

    My regular is a Schuler SC-250 from the late 1990’s. I now mostly play with a CF from Noel Mendoza. It has a good amount of cueball deflection (squirt), and I believe in CF so I’m making a go of it. My favorite cue is my Tascarella with a Tascarella shaft. My favorite CF shaft is a Bull...

    Was pool better 50 years ago?

    These are my thoughts on it as well. I grew up through the transition, and the conversion to the bunt stroke is for real.

    Push shot foul?

    I can’t listen to the audio, but I see Pongers pointing to the handle area. Did the ref think he heard a double hit, and Pongers was saying it was the handle of the cue stick banging the rail?

    Tascarella Cue questions...for owners and previous owners...

    Not sure what kind of answer you’re looking for. I have said many times that when I got my Tascarella, I was shocked. It’s like the cue sings. I absolutely love shooting with this cue. It makes me very happy.

    Towns in Florida with established halls with 9’ tables

    I live in Clearwater, FL. I have 12 pool halls with 9’ tables within 30 minutes drive and another half dozen if we increase the drive to an hours. So, the St Pete area fits your ask.
