It started last Friday with a jump shot on the 2-ball then banked the 3-4 and 5 and ran out the 7,8,9. The next rack i changed my break to the side rail ( never broke from there) and made 3 balls. I've been making 1-3 balls on every break since,running more racks and finally got some confidence...

This weekend the lucky guy that got picked for the 10-ball break broke and made $6345. It was $705/ball and not bad for running a rack

Another year in the books.

Do you guys get the jitters or nervous playing in tournaments? I can't seem to shake them and play like crap. Lately I've been playing good enough and when I get in a tournament I suck. How do you cope if you cope and how do you do it? I know it's not easy.

It's been a year of practice hitting balls and trying to find my way after a 25 year hiatus and recent health issues. I've been going to the poolhall on Fridays and playing with a bunch of old guys and not winning much. A week ago one of the old guys came to my house on Thursday and we played...

I was watching Ultimate Pool Pairs and WOW! Two 10 year old kids playing a couple guys that can play and beat them 3-2. Both kids broke pretty good and played decent. Puts me to shame and embarrasment at times after seeing that

The old guy (71 years old) has hit a new level. After a 25 year hiatus and a 2 year battle with the big C I've found some mojo. I tried my luck in a 9-ball tournament late last Sept and won my first 3 rounds and went out bang bang but almost won the fourth round. My 2nd tourny i only won 1 round...

I went to a bar/poolroom the past couple Fridays and one of the guys asked me if I was joining in. I said sure if it's OK and he said put your cue together. They play every day and either 8-ball or 9-ball depending on what the next tournament will be. They have 5-6 tables going and you play one...

I played in my 2nd event yesterday and what a disaster. It started off driving 5 hours on Friday and had a room booked at a Holiday Inn. For $250 you'd think the bed would sleepable but worst night ever. The venue was deplorable with the shitiest conditions I've seen. I was tired and defeated...

Today was my 1st time playing in a 9-ball event. I went 3 rounds on the A side then bombed 2 straight on the B side with the last match going hill hill. I finished 17th thru 24 and I'll take that as a win considering I haven't played in 25 years.

It's been a long time (25 years) since I played snooker/pool and this Saturday I'm gonna give it a go and play in a 9-ball tournament. I'm definately not ready but willing to step out and give it a shot. My break is OK ,banks are good, kicks are decent and have an idea on playing safe. I have...

I only hit a few balls every day slowly trying to play again after 20+ years of not playing. My wife came down to watch and first thing she said I wasn't getting down on the cue like I used to. I said I need to video me so I can see myself so she'll set up her tablet for me. I immediately went...

I turned 71 yesterday and 1st day on the new 9ft. The son and granddaughter came over and we played some 8-9 ball. The granddaughter (13 yrs old) actually had a good time and kept focused with no running to her cell phone lol. She said she'll be back today lol. Me on the other hand couldn't find...

I've been trying to get out as much as I can ( health issues) in the past few weeks or so. We have friends that have 4x8 tables in their homes and 2 of the 3 tables are just friggin horrible especially the one last night. Strangely enough I played ok on it considering the rolls/ bad rails and...

We went to a friend's house last night for a X-mas Eve get together. They have a 4x8 in the party room. I wasn't sure if I could manage being on my feet for that long but I did ok as far as that goes. My playing 8 ball not so much lol. It'll be a slow climb with lots of practice getting the...

I found a 6 year old Pallason with 6 month old Simonis on it. Are these tables any good? Can the cloth be reinstalled? Not sure which model and it's still assembled so I can check how good the rails/rubber are.
