Just for fun, but maybe an interesting psychological part of the game.... When it comes to your opponent, what gets under your skin the most - A fast player or slow player? This has probably been touched on here before, but any thoughts now?

I expressed my opinion a while back that IF the majority of pool halls closed that their MAY be a resurgence of pool hall patrons that would transition over to the barrooms for pool playing as far as public competition goes. I'm not sure if I would be correct in my assumption because I think...

Just a diversion from everything, but thought it would be interesting to bring up. Maybe it doesn't really mean much in the long run, but I've always thought it was an interesting question, especially for those who have been in the pool game for a long time. I have for years heard that the...

What do you guys think about how the pros are doing now in the midst of all this? What about Earl? Any word on how him and others are doing now since not having a room to keep their game in shape?

It's been a while, but had to throw in my two cents ;) I've read a ton of concerned comments here, thinking that this whole thing is going to end pool as we know it, etc. I get that. My issue with this is that many of the commenters are regarding and comparing this to a depression. In my...

I remember a while back when watching Earl talk about the differences of tables, and in particular pocket size and how they played. He remarked about how the facings in the pocket was key to the shot, even more than the pocket size itself. I agree.... I had an example of this happen tonight on...

Well, even though I know this is another topic that has been beaten to death on here, I'd like some insight. Oh, and just to clarify, I AM new here and not a troll or someone with another ID. I saw that a couple people were "suspicious" on another thread, but no need to feel that way. I used...

So I'm new here but had to vent and get a seasoned opinion from everyone here after I put my two cents in about this, which I know has been beaten to death many times. Maybe I'm old-school, but I don't see how tight pockets are better for the game. I've been playing pool (8-ball mostly with...
