    1970 9 ball rules

    I want to run a "retro" 9 ball tournament with 1970-1990 rules. Pre Texas Express. Can I have some help? I didn't start until 1990's. I want the "push out" rules. Can someone spell them out for me? Is it basically just like the modern push after the break, but at any time? I'll have no jump...

    Gambling spot table size, which would you pick

    I'm 570. Opponent is 542. Opponent offers me a spot of 2 games on the wire going to 11 playing 9 ball, if I put up $400 to his $300. I accept. I feel I'm stone stealing. If you are me, would you play the game on the 7' or the 9'? Both of us are equally adept on both tables. Both are new...

    Rempe vs Fusco OnePocket Video

    I had this match years ago on DVD. (since gave ALL my pool DVD's away). It was the best one hole match IMO for learning. Bentivegna's commentary on Fusco's strategy was top notch. Any chance it can be put on youtube, or available digitally? Maybe the Accu-Stats treasures series? @azhousepro Thanks!

    3D Printed One Pocket Ball Rack

    Local room owner asked me to make a one pocket ball holder that the fans can see what the score is on a feature table. We worked together through many iterations to come up with this design. The wooden shelf and black square panel were existing to the room, and the owner wanted the ball holders...

    John Schmidt runs 820

    I just saw this on FB. Is it real? No details yet. I almost don't believe it. Didn't even know he was still at it. I was even checking if it was April 1.

    Should I paint my GC4?

    Should I paint my Gold Crown 4? I never really liked mahogany colored furniture. I love the look of the new GC7 in both white and black options, and the original white GC1. Woodworking was my main hobby from age 6 to 16, before I became a pool degenerate, so I can do a good job, and I have spray...

    Cues inside cases stored horizontally, will they warp?

    I’m about to take my table out of storage and set it back up. I have an extra bedroom dresser that would be perfect to store all my extra pool stuff, extra shafts, cues, etc. Its finish also matches the table. If I place the cues/shafts inside pool cases and then inside the dresser drawers, am...

    Filipino "ref" chalk marking on cloth - has it ever helped?

    We've all see the Filipino "chalk markers"..... when a player is shooting near an OB, the "ref" will mark the table with white chalk powder using his finger incase the OB ball is moved. Question: has anyone ever seen it come into play, where the ball was disturbed and the mark helped replace...

    Amazon perimeter style light

    I saw a perimeter style light in one of the groups recently that was about $300 on Amazon, marketed for garages and such. I can't find it now for the life of me. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and have a link? Edit: This is it, thanks Slateman...

    Six Pointed Star

    I did this drill 3 hrs straight yesterday. It has 15 variations, I got through the first 5. I think I went up 5 fargorate points in 3 hrs. Note, Neil's has the balls frozen, but that didn't make sense to me, so I put them about 1/8" off the rails. I haven't felt this good about a practice...

    Tougher tables did not help USA pros for 20 years

    Everyone and their mother says practicing on tougher equipment makes one a better player. USA dominated Mosconi Cup when Gold Crowns were the standard. Once Diamond with 4.5" Pro-Cut pockets took over in the USA from about 2005 until today, Europe has dominated. The tables Europe play on...
