Sorry this argument doesn't fly. If you watch televised poker and you see guys wearing basketball shirts, hoodies, hats on backwards, the whole nine yards and they're covered in sponsorship logos. In pool meanwhile we've been dressing conservatively for years and the sponsors are nowhere to be...

What they need to do is have the players vote on what the dress code should be, instead of having some guy who probably can't play worth a lick deciding what looks nice. Walk fourteen or fifteen miles yourself sometime and then tell me what is 'acceptable footwear'. I promise you won't pick...

I first played pool when I was about 9 or 10, but I first walked into a poolroom when I was 16. I don't remember exactly why my friends and I decided to go to the place, but from that night on I was hooked. I think I just loved the look of all the tables lined up in a perfect row and the musky...

Archer would be a great match, as would Bustamante, but I would think the next mostly likely guy to take a shot would be Alex Pagulayan. Where's he been during all of this?

When you are running out at the end of a game, if you still owe balls and all balls have been pocketed, do you spot all balls at once, or do they spot one at a time, assuming naturally that you owe more than one? Ex: The score is 7 to -2. There are eight balls left. The -2 player clears all...

The max - 147 on a 6x12 BCE Westbury with tournament pockets. I had to bank the pink to get out too. It wandered to the side rail when I moved some reds open and I decided that if I got that far I would just go ahead and bank it. It went in and the cueball walked on down for a straight in...

This thread has gone on too long without a picture of Anna Kournikova... Meanwhile, Shanelle is a conspicuous missing name on the list, but as pool players go, I have an affinity for southern beauty Betty Sessions. Not only a hottie but her Alabama accent is killer!

If I buy this, do I have to watch it live, or can I like pause it and watch it later. I won't be around for the times they're playing but I do want to see it. Also if it's been postponed, when is it going to be on?

Are those the match tables? Wow, conditions look pretty lousy. Lighting looks horrible.

That would be the rule that I am proposing. The current wording is hopelessly antiquated. I do agree that it may be possible to intentionally freeze a ball to a rail (but in my opinion that was a lot easier in the pre-Simonis days), however I don't see where someone should gain such a big...

Here's just a few: "he couldn't run out if the room was on fire!" "he couldn't hit the end rail with a 2x4" "he couldn't find his pocket with a six-man search party" (for one pocket) "that boy wouldn't bet that fat meat is greasy" "he runs out like well water" "he couldn't get out from...

In a situation where someone is sharking you, or you get into a beef with them, or whatever, if you boil it all down there are only two things that happen with your game: 1) You get flustered/rattled aka sharked and play badly. 2) You get inspired, bear down and play better. I always try and...

One rule that I would like to see disappear is the rule about balls frozen to the rail. I mean, it's extremely rare for this to ever show up, and in 97% of cases it makes no difference to the game, because whoever hits the ball is most likely going to hit a rail anyways, so all it does is waste...

This is true but the real class thing about the English productions is the camera work. It is really first-rate. Some notable points: -they rarely use direct overhead, instead they use a high camera at an angle so you can still see that the game is three-dimensional -they have no 'roving'...

The broadcasts will never be any good until they get rid of Mitch L. and Hopkins. They have become very polished but they bring nothing to the table. They make it virtually impossible to tell one event from another because they always say the same things. They need to get someone on there who...

Ha, I wonder why?

Not enough people will pay to watch pool, and not enough people watch it when it's on TV. That's the only answer. If millions of people were clamouring to watch pool then it would be on TV regularly and the purses would be high, I promise you, and it wouldn't matter what the format was, or...

I said 'most', not 'all'. Meanwhile, if they asked for weight, why didn't you give it to them? I mean, when I play either of them I happily give up weight. Of course, I'm not a nit.

No red nor white was ever seen, so am'rous as the lovely green

All I'm going to say is a) Tracie or Helena would destroy most of the posters in this thread b) Thanks for the sick link. Lot of good looking videos on there to check out.
