    Kaci calls out the top Pinoys. All of them.

    Sorry if this has been posted, I didn't see it on the first couple of pages. But for those of you who dont do FB or social media, could this be real? Looks like he has more than a few takers...

    Pool hall pictures

    Some of they great ones have gone, some have changed to keep up with the times, others are like time capsules. I would love to see some pictures of the rooms that are mentioned on the forum here. For my contribution, here are some photo's of a "time capsule" pool hall, in my opinion. J.O.B's...

    Sky weighs in on WPA...

    Since many don't have or follow facebook... Seems like Sky is a man of integrity. BTW, the comments on this post are overwhelmingly in support of this stance.

    Anyone heard from SJM?

    Haven't seen him post in well over a week, and I always find his analysis of the big events interesting...Hoping all is well, Stu.

    Grand Slam of Pool?

    Is there such a thing? If not, what events should be included? Would it be 8,9,10 ball world championship? Surely the US open should be in there? Derby City MOT? What 4 events would you include? Or would you need more...

    Craziest rack in a while...what would you do?

    Hill-Hill at a tourney this weekend: The 8 ended up in the jaws off the break, and because APA I had to take what I made (solid). I had no balls at the head of the table after the break to try and get the 8 ball out of the pocket, and unluckily for me, after my opponents first shot, he gets...

    Anyone have first hand experience with this table?

    Brunswick Black Wolf Pro It looks pretty slick, just wondering if it is more furniture grade or pro grade in a 7 footer. ( I get that it ain't a diamond, and I get that it ain't a GC)

    Top Americans (excluding recent MC Cup pros)

    In other words, I think it is close to Universally accepted that SVB, SKY, Billy, Corey, and Tyler are the State's best chance to win a rotation tourney at the moment, but who are the next group of Americans that you believe has the game to snap off a big tourney or make a deep run in a major...

    Question about foreign players in the states

    After seeing the amazing month of January that Gorst had, 60k in the month of January alone I think I read, do they have to pay taxes on those winnings here and in their home countries? I get that this month is extraordinary for Gorst and not the norm, but it would suck to get hit twice by...

    Iron City Open

    I had a fun little road trip down I-65 to Iron City Billiards in Birmingham. This is a newer room with 26 7 ft. Diamonds and 10 9ft. Diamonds, if I recall. This was a fairly big tourney with a 1 pocket open, 1-pocket pro, 9 ball open, and ladies open. ICB is a clean venue, good food, and non...

    Question about a dufferin cue

    Hey folks, looking for some advice on the cue I learned to play with. It is a red leaf dufferin circa 1992. This is a cue my old man (RIP Pop) got me in high school when we got our first pool table. I played with this cue throughout high school and college, before moving on to other cues. Now...

    Mosconi Cup 2021 Day 3 Updates

    T minus 30 Minutes till first Rack! This is a nerve racking schedule! It's not hard to envision a 3-3 day or maybe a 4-2 type day for the US...but I can just as easily envision a 5-1 or 6-0 win for the Euros. I would take a 3-3 day right now and be happy with it! SINGLES Jayson Shaw - Chris...

    Mosconi Cup 2021 Day 2 Updates

    T- Minus 20 minutes! So what do ya'll think will happen? If the US gets hot and wins the day 3-2, or even loses 2-3, I think I would consider that about as good as I could hope for and they are still right in the thick of things. Of course if they lose 1-4 or 0-5, it will be a big blow to...

    Quick project with an old set of pool balls

    I love going up to JOB Billiards in Nashville. I love the history of the place, the '70's vibe, seeing the pictures of Fats, Miz, Massey, and all the other greats that have played there. One of the things that caught my eye were old the pool ball scorers hanging on the wall. Today was the last...

    Rogue users...

    Looking at possibly trying a 12.4 Rogue. I currently play with either a p+ pro (12.5mm) or P+lite (11.75mm). My question is on the taper. The website says the 12.4 mm Rogue has a 16 inch slow rise taper, while the 11.8 has a modified pro taperI like the (p+ lite) What the heck is a 16 inch...

    Big Tyme Billiards

    Guy on my Team went down to Mississippi to play in their monthly tourney. He didn't play well, but the guy he got in the Calcutta did...He said he won over 7 grand! He was very complimentary of the tourney, even though according to him it was very crowded with 179 players. He said there were...

    Something is wrong with Team USA

    I am not a chicken little guy, and the sky is not falling, and there is a chance, albeit a slim one, that the US can fight their way back into this match tomorrow. BUT The way they are playing seems very out of character. First, I realize that losing JB so close to match time hurt. But after...

    Educate me on 9 ball spots...

    Last week I was approached by a guy wanting some action. He was told that I like to play for cheap, and there weren't many other folks gambling. He approached me to play some 9 ball, and even though I mainly play 8 ball, I told him I was game if we could make a good game. I knew that this dude...
