    Is there such a thing as natural talent? Some say yes, I do not think there is?

    While waiting on me to come in to the exam room, one of my 19 y/o patients, who is on the spectrum did something no human should be able to do. While standing up, with a regular ball point pen, on printer paper drew a gorgeous, PERFECT lineup, in perfect detail of all the Peanuts characters…...

    I don’t like it

    Next time you're in NW Georgia, do yourself a big favor and go to Kennesaw Billiards on Wade Green Rd and your faith in pool will be restored. 24 hours, smoking friendly, some nice tables, some not so nice. Darts. Music you would expect to hear. No one cares what you look like. It looks like...

    The 9ball championships and winner break excitement.

    Don't want to sit in your chair and watch your opponent run out the match? Learn to lag, kick, break and play a lock down safety game better. Didn't win the lag? You should of hit a better shot. You break and nothing went in? Learn to break better or buy another lucky rabbit's foot. You break...

    My first tip installation. Went south

    Good for doing it yourself and nice job! I've tried exactly once on one of my more forgettable cues. Never again. My best result would be worse than a professional's worst.

    Bring Back Hustling Culture

    By the logic given so far, schools of fish pack in to every casino on the face of the planet all day, every day waiting to be hustled, and there is no shortage of business, despite people booking losers 99.999% of the time. Only the 'big scores' are discussed. Are these casinos parasites as...

    Johnny Archer's New Room

    The best comparison I can make is a double shimmed GC4 with lively rails that will accept nothing but a perfectly hit ball down the rail. Don’t get me wrong, the table plays fair, it’s just up to a very high standard. It’s a gold crown that has evolved to the modern game. If you’re used to...

    Sigel vs Varner

    There’s just something different about how the older generation shot, and I’m only 43 so this isn’t some get off my lawn perspective. The modern game is calculating to a fault. There are still some throwback players, but it just feels so robotic. Sterilized. Template racks. Every table must...

    New table pool ball recommendation

    Centennial for me, mainly for the nostalgia aspect. When I unload a tray of centennials on a Gold Crown, I'm in heaven.

    Sigel vs Varner

    Accu Stats produced matches, especially the classics, are the best in the business and it's hardly even close. I can listen to Buddy, Grady, and BiIly all day long. Sadly, commentary and production are now very lacking and I can hardly watch for more than 20 minutes before looking for something...

    Johnny Archer's New Room

    I went Back to Archers again last night at around 7:30. All tables were full except one of the coin ops. The girl working the bar was very pleasant and helpful. I banged around on the 7’er for 15 minutes until the 9’er opened up. The general vibe was great, and busy to be a Thursday night...

    Does pro pool need more team competitions?

    To me, pool is, and has always been mano a mano or man vs self. Team pool just feels weird and not natural to me. Everything is always your own fault, good or bad, as the gods intended it. Teams don't excite me. Runouts, unconventional shots, and just plain old fashioned moxie played on GC 1s...

    Cues As Investments

    I've sold several cues and have made and lost. I could do well on my Omen set, but will never sell it. Overall I'm about even on the selling front. I did really well on my Murnack and George cases but miss them dearly. I agree with the overall sentiment... buy them to enjoy.

    AZB Members in W. Ga?

    I’m in Rome. Hardly play these days but I would like to play more. Life commitments and such.

    Brunswick table sticker find - cheap!

    Looks really nice. Not trying to be a knocker, but is the font different from the genuine deal from Brunswick?

    BLUDWORTH vs DIAMOND vs BALLSTAR BALL CLEANERS

    Oh I believe it but had never seen the horror before. Unacceptable is the only word until my brain wakes up a little more. How the hell does that even happen?

    Oh hell no.

    BLUDWORTH vs DIAMOND vs BALLSTAR BALL CLEANERS

    All just different flavors of the same icecream. I recently sold my crockpot style Ballstar. I had a set of dingy Centennials I sold with it that hadn't been cleaned in years and were put up dirty. In one cycle they were cleaned to a mirror finish. It was truly impressive. I could never achieve...

    "Snooker is *torture* at all skill levels . . . pool is *fun* at all skill levels."

    Kind of makes you wonder if getting people to tune in is about more than just watching 2 dudes knock balls in holes?

    Anyone idea on what percentage of 9 ball matches end due to a combo?

    Gold Crown VI

    Sorry, it was a Tourney Edition. Cloth felt like 860 but cannot confirm 100%. Definitely not 760 as I remember that feel very well.
