I have no idea if I'm asking the right question but may aswell ask it with the hopes someone understands. So my job is throwing away a custom office desk that was made for one of my bosses. It's a pretty solid desk and some of the pieces are heavy. I was told it was made about 15 years ago...

Came across this on my YouTube feed. Seems to be some late 1970s or 1980s news station interviews.

Match announced. No details announced except for how much tickets cost. Facebook flyer

I was talking to a few of the APA players the other day and some told me that some of the APA leagues they play in use Fargo and others dont. Now, they are mainly taking about the APA masters division. It got me wondering, do groups like the ACS, NAPA, VNEA and other sanctioning bodies use Fargo...

I remember about two or three years back the PBT started uploading videos of older matches to their channel and they had guys like Sigel and Davenport interviews players but I don't think they ever did anything else. Were there any plans for them to do tournaments or even revive the tour? It...

I've not played in so long but some of the locals are looking for someone to run a weekly league for them, so I figured let me give it a try. I've never done a weekly ran format. How much differences are there being a league operator for team based leagues vs 1 on 1 leagues? I wish to do the 1...

Don't know how many of you are over on Facebook, but with the people at fargo recently posting the top players of each state via fargo, a lot of chat has been happening. The conversation is concerning high rated non traveling fargo players and how a lot of tournament ban them because of how...

Here's my dilemma. Local hall is a complete dump and they only have two league nights. One is an APA league and the other is a random league, from my understanding it's not affiliated with any governing body and it's more of a county wide league where it's just about being social. The hall has...

If anyone is interested, streaming now on Alex's youtube page. I can honestly say, I dont think Ive ever seen a 9 ball tournament on these tables. The only time I recall was some exhibition where Gareth Potts was just soft breaking the entire time.

Alex's youtube channel in what seems to be a 9 ball event on the chinese 8 ball tables.

I know he comes from an English/Blackball pool background, but does this guy do anything besides Chinese 8 ball? I remember him being the golden boy for that discipline for years, years back. I also remember other UK players being involved with the game, but it seems he's the only one who stuck...

Good morning all, was just having a discussion with someone at the hall about this and he feels that Josh Filler is without a doubt the best euro player ever. I myself still think Darren Appleton, during that time where he was winning everything, is probably the best all time with Jayson Shaw...

Why is it that a lot of players back then had a smaller window of space between their bridges and the cue ball? I noticed guys like Rempe, Mizerak and Buddy Hall didn't leave much space in between whereas Sigel, Earl and Efren had much larger spaces.

Almost every stream I watch (to be fair, it's non-tournament streams) they almost always play nothing but express ten ball. I rarely ever see any two players playing 9 ball. Is there a reason for that?

I only ask because I see a lot of people saying pool is making something of a resurgence with the way Matchroom has gone about doing their business worldwide. So, with this new curiosity for the game, why is there no entity looking to build a tour like we had with the PBT in the 90s? Or is it...

I was talking to an older coworker who followed pro pool on TV in the 80s and 90s and it is really fun always talking to him. He followed the game pretty hardcore and even went out to some non TV tournaments like the big ones out in California. Anyways, he mentioned Jose Parica. He told me that...

I have not played anything pool in about a year or so. I want to enter a 9 ball tournament on the big tables happening in my area in a few weeks and would like to get any tips on which drills would be best to work on before the tournament starts. I used to just rack up the balls and play...

From 2013 to 2023, the crop of players has certainly changed. Who do you have as your top ten players within that span?

Running under the radar this week. Stream provided by Griff's own youtube channel -->
