I couldn’t tell if this applies to US viewers. Anyone have more detail?

This tournament is a warm up for the Hanoi Open and has a really strong field. Free stream on YouTube starts tomorrow (or tonight depending on your location). https://www.youtube.com/live/oWuYke3CS3Q?si=gOAGLdc14DqpiUa7

Will be interesting to see who follows

This is coming up this weekend, Bergman and Matlock and Styer on the Barbox:

Jake Dyer (Hustler Days) has been building up his poolhistory.com site with lots of content from different sources. Here's an article of mine on Cue Ball Kelly that he recently posted: https://poolhistory.com/cueball-kelly/

Jeanette is selling signed copies of her new autobiography for $35 to raise some funds: https://caromsports.com/products/black-widow-memoir (Note I don’t have anything to do with this and the books come from that web store)

This event started today with streams on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/live/-ItkRq-pTFU?si=iaasrSwbTHU0x67J I suppose any tournament with decent payouts is a good thing. It is mildly amusing to see the players race around to beat the clock. Tyler ran out a rack in probably 20 seconds...

Jake Dyer (Hustler Days) recently posted a short article I wrote about Calvin Demarest, an early balkline champion who lost his mind and tried to kill his wife. Jake’s site had other good content on pool history as well. https://poolhistory.com/calvin-demarest/

Not sure what to think of this….

I like to buy crap off Temu as everything is always a surprise. I took a chance on these Meilin tips (2 for $4). Short story is they are the worst cue tips ever made. Here's what one looks like next to a Kamui, at least it looks like it a cue tip at the start. It's supposed to be a...

Sold This is a Cuesmith-style taper bar set. I had this on a Mid-America but it should work with any Taig-style lathe. It includes: 1) Taper bar (one side is a straight taper, the other side is for compound tapers) 2) Headstock and tailstock risers 3) Top slide with taper bar roller and...

Another big deal for Matchroom https://matchroompool.com/news/inaugural-saudi-arabia-snooker-masters-and-world-pool-championship-to-take-place-in-riyadh-and-jeddah-as-part-of-major-10-year-deal/

Anyone figure out the details behind the ACBS’ decision to ban the Singapore team (including Yapp) from the Formosa open in Taiwan? It seems like it was based on the new WPA license requirement that players refrain from non-WPA (eg, Matchroom) events? Edit: looks like it has to do with...

Eddie's videos are always great. He gives a detailed look at his finishing process in his newest video: (skip to 19:30 for the finishing). Looks like solarez + west + gloss resin. I haven't used gloss resin w/ wax as a top coat before--looks like it's typically used for surfboards?

I thought this was a joke at first but apparently not. I don’t see how the game will be a challenge for Fedor unless I’m missing something in the rules. https://procuesports.com/

I played in a tournament last week and did well by my standards, but I was really surprised when I looked at my heart rate data from my watch the following day. For the entire time, even when not actively playing, my heart rate was elevated (> 110 bpm) and my heart stress was high. For...

I recently pushed out a revised first edition of my Greenleaf biography (Amazon link.) There's no major substantive changes from the original first edition, but I added a few stories I encountered since the book was first published. The following story about the 1923 Tournament League is my...

Pretty good free stream for those of you with Facebook. 10 ball race to 30. https://fb.watch/k4XF0_egAc/?mibextid=Nif5oz

I think most of the recent Brunswick furniture tables use what they call "Brunswick Cushion Rubber"': Compared to K55: I assume the consensus here is that "Brunswick Cushion Rubber" isn't comparable to K55? From what I can tell, "Brunswick Cushion Rubber"' plays a lot more dead than K55...

This should spice up the upcoming Matchroom events
