    How much chalk

    What? I'm loosing it and thought Dr. Dave gave the Russian chalk the highest rating . I must be loosing it. I also heard many miscues are caused by a poor stroke, not a lack of chalk. But, to be on the safe side watch a You Tube match featuring Efren Reyes and who ever. Watch how often...

    What’s the Most Frustrating Aspect of Being an Aging Pool Player?

    Lighten up, have fun! I am 69 and still enjoy the game. Most of my playing is at home on my old 9' Rebco. I was never an "A" player and never will be. Don't have to be to have fun. Pool hall closed years ago and only pool is at local dives on really neglected tables. If you move to a hick...

    Thorsten Hohmann is a fan of "technology"

    Damn inside. A guy that has done lots of pool playing, been a table mechanic, promotes good matches, owns a world class pool room and has done lots of good stuff for pool told me this. When Efren came across the pond to be a thorn in the side of many top players he had and advantage What...

    A Prayer Request

    For sure I can think of much better to do then pray for a pool player on Christmas day. Knowing Jesus hears and answers prayers is the best benefit we could have. Lord please give this man a quick and healthy recovery!

    Which cue setup has more deflection?

    Don't matter.. I can't tell a difference. I have extensions, long ones short ones and shafts that are suposed to deflect less then others. Problem is my cue balls are haunted and some times that damn things just refuse to let me control them at times They don't seem to care what my plans...

    Which cue setup has more deflection?

    Don't matter.. I can't tell a difference. All my cues-shafts deflect. Some times it is like they are haunted. At times the damn cue ball just seems to get a mind of it's own and goes where it wants to. Happens way to often.

    The Irishman movie

    Well.... If any one wants a true picture of Scorese and De Niro watch the 1991 awards when they presented the director Elia Kazan with a Life Time Achievement Award. The same guy that testified before the House on Un American Activities in 1952 during the McCarthy era. He testified against...

    Who Will Win inaugural "Bar Box Money Game King" title? Alex P v Sky(3-5 Jan). 10Ball

    ??? Should be a good bunch of pool playing, to bad it's a bar box. Sky is definitely a different and improved player over what he was 3 years ago and he should still be riding the crest of the wave after hi performance in the MC. Alex has been great for a long time. I think Alex would do...

    What is the Weirdest thing you've ever eaten

    The Irishman movie

    Won't watch it I long ago grew weary of watching De Niro and Pacino movies. To me they are very limited in their performances and have made hundreds of millions of dollars using foul language and glorifying dirt bags. I mean most of the characters they play are similar, just a different story...

    why didn't/doesn't efren care more about the break shot?

    Did he... I think Efren once said if Busty could break for him he would beat any one. He was aware of his level of breaking and commented on it and how good Shane's break is. What ever he was doing in the long run worked well for him. No one is super strong in every aspect of the game, are...

    Anybody miss....

    Shane and TAR I wonder what Shane's win percentage was in those TAR matches. I know he handed out some serious butt whuppin to Dennis in 10 Ball and I think he lost once to Alex, but I could be wrong. I also miss TAR, they were good matches.

    New break cue..

    I got my new Schmelke break cue today. It is 19 ounces and 60 inches long with a 13.25 tip and a break taper and their quick release joint. Has a brown phenolic butt cap, joint caps and ferrule with a White Diamond tip. The butt is rosewood and the shaft is purple heart. A good looking cue...

    Detached Garage Pool Room

    Just do it. Good ideas here for a table in garage. So much of how you do it depends on where you live. I live in Alaska and years ago I built a 28x36 foot garage. It has a roofed breeze way between it and the house which gives us about a 12x16 foot covered area for what ever. Any way, the...

    2019 WPA World 9 Ball - Qatar

    Hey Joey I have trouble running a easy lay out some times and even if a miracle happened and I won a big tournament ain't no way I'm tossing one of my Pat Diveny cues. I'm kissing the sucker and gently putting it up. Maybe the carbon fiber cues were purpose made for expressive victory...

    2019 WPA World 9 Ball - Qatar

    Golly! Was it Appleton who first popularized throwing a cue on the floor? Gorst should of followed his cue toss by running back and forth like Filler has done, sticking his chest out, jumping on the table then going to the chair and sitting down and crying. That's a winning demonstration...

    is superman ready for tony?

    Good stuff. Before my last computer crash I had some of the wonderful TAR Matches that CSI used to put on and they were great pool by great players. About 6 years ago Efren and Shane matched up over three days for 8 Ball, 10 Ball and One Pocket. Efren only won the One Pocket and he did not...

    What about Meucci?

    My Meucci When I started playing pool again in 2012 it was after a 40 year break from it. I wanted a 62 inch cue and ordered a Meucci Sneaky with a Black Dot shaft. Won a 64 player 8 Ball Tournament for close to $3,800 and lost the 9 Ball because I made mistakes, not the cues fault. I...
