Filler Maybe Filler is the new King. He sure didn't look very noble when Skylar handed him his defeat and brought the Cup Trophy home for Team USA. I don't think any knowledgeable pool junkie thinks two five game matches gives one the right to the "King's Crown". I can see where he gets...

I'm on it. I sent my message to President Trump, thanks for the form link "Jam". Maybe if the team gets an invite it would be one more step towards Olympic Competition? That is a cool pic "terryhanna". I am still shaking my head in wonderment and admit I was weak in faith that our team cold...

Me thnks... Me thinks Filler looked worse as his match with Skylar continued. I think it was the pressure of the Cup, the pressure he put on him self to shoot perfect pool and Shaw leaning in on him and saying what ever he said. Thank you for the help Coach Shaw!

Thanks Jam & Jason,etc. Tomorrow I will be e-mailing my two US Senators and Alaska's one lonely Representative. I will also be filling out the form Jam posted and thank her for that. I encourage all of you pool fans to get on board with this. It ain't about politics, it is about Making...

Right now is the perfect time to get some good press for pool and the Mosconi Cup and Team USA. Ask your U.S. Senators to ask the White House to invite them in and thank them for making Pool Great Again in America! Heck ya, go Team USA! Color me as a Patriot!

What change? What are the break rules and how did they change? I think the USA Team is playing against the best Euro Team they can pick from the 44 countries they have to choose from every year. That oughta level the playing field aplenty in favor of Team Europe! I am not a big fan of some...

John Binion I went to Michigan in 2015 to visit a friend I worked with as he had left Alaska to go back to Michigan. Him and John Binion are friends and shot on a team together for awhile. He told me John is a good player and I think he used to be a pool instructor at one of the universities...

Pat Diveney I have been shooting with a Diveney Custom Ebony Hustler since 2013 and I also got one of his cocobolo Bar Hustler cues. Had him make 31" butts and 30" Diveney Lake Salvage shafts with them. Also have one of his LD Kiel Wood shafts. I doubt I will ever have another playing cue...

Ya got me... This Women Only and Open stuff is a can of worms in todays progressive and enlightened world. I personally don't mind being old as I will not be here to experience how bad it will become in the future with the crazy world we live in. An Open is an Open, it does not say Men Only...

Ya got me.... I have a 9' Rebco with drop pockets and Simonis Tournament Blue 860 HR cloth and Aramith Balls and good Diveney cues. My pockets are big and I have no problem missing. The table is fun to play on and every one likes it. A couple of times a year I try to go to Anchorage for...

To early to tell? Maybe we need to wait awhile to see how many pros switch to a carbon fiber shaft and stay with them. Lots of them jumped on the low deflection shafts years ago. Time is usually a pretty good test of things. Seems like Filler and Bergman were using carbon fiber and went back...

Wow Cool little vid. Sad part is I didn't see on person in that crowd I could beat at pool. I wonder if they will all have lung problems from breathing in that talcum powder their whole life.

Me thinks... Meucci, Predator, Schon, Brunswick, etc. All had great players using their cues. I could be wrong, but it seems like some pros switch cues and especially shafts, depending on the sponsors of tournaments they play in. How many times has a pro made a name for him self with a...

Breaking I have the Predator Break App on my phone, it shows I rarely hit 20 mph. Usually in the 18 mph range.

Dymonwood I have a Dymonwood shaft that has a Uni Loc joint, I could get a 30" butt with a Uni Loc and try it. I can rack tight. I have a very good wooden rack, a Delta rack, Magic rack and Accu rack. It is probably my control, the faster I hit, the worse I hit where I am aiming. Crap.

Current one I had a phenolic ferrule and a hard tip of some kind put on a Diveney 12.5 shaft and use it with one of my Diveney radial pin butts. I was looking at going to a 13.5 mm shaft and a White Diamond tip with a purple heart shaft and butt. I am a mediocre breaker at best, just can't...

What is the best wood for a break cue shaft, maple, purple heart, etc.? How about the joint? Is the Uni Loc a good choice or another all metal joint? Seems like every one has their preference's on weight and tip diameter.

Thanks Thanks for the well wishes. Serving my country from 1969-1973 was an honor.

Legendar dives. "Back in the day", during the hey day of the Alaska Pipeline construction, money was every where. In down town Anchorage there were two bars on 4th and C Street. One was called the Hunter Bar and I believe the other was the Sourdough Bar. They would close down at 7:00 AM to...

It's AR Ya had me going, I thought you were talking about Alaska, which is AK and Arkansas is AR, just saying. If it was Alaska you would have so many places to choose from.... Like the song says, "I love this bar, it's my kinda place'.
