I went looking for the price on Aramith Tournament "Black" balls, with the black caps. Here you go:

In the 2026 European Open, Quinten Pongers got called on a foul for this shot. Let's assume the ball was called frozen. Do you know what the rule is? The shot: Commentators' discussions...

The pockets seem as spacious as all outdoors.

After the optimization of the break rules and pattern racking and waxgate, I found this wider view of science and cheating in sports pretty interesting.

Engert gets a horrible skid around 1:20. The commentators discussion is interesting about it. I remember when a lot of players thought there was no such thing as a skid -- it was just an excuse.

Are you jealous of the tremendous support some niche sports get? It turns out that all pool has to do is get one person's attention. I had no idea... (Well, and be more dangerous.)

It seems the prize money has not yet been published. Has anyone seen the list? One thing that DigitalPool does is compare performance against FargoRate. Here are the 9-ball players who played the farthest over their rating. I've only included the ones who are over 500 and played more than 20...

A friend has a complete run of Billiards Digest, from the first issue in 1978 through this month. The collection is in magazine boxes/carriers, so it is unbound. He is asking $3000, but will consider offers. Not sure about shipping, but it will be about $400. PM me for contact info.

This is at the same venue as last year. Nice hotel, good prices for food. I had a good time, in spite of playing like a 4. (Fargo Rate, not APA. Lesson: jet lag is real.) Turkish Airlines is again running a promotion from San Francisco to Sarajevo (one stop) for about $700 with a checked bag...

In his match against Xu Si in the German Masters, Mark Selby was behind 32-75 when Xu Si missed the yellow on the colors. This was the decider. 48 minutes later, Selby had gotten five snookers, but Xu had potted yellow and green to make the score 52-84. Selby pocketed the brown, so he would...

I like to get one of each, so I bought a copy of "Three Cushion Billiards -- The Road to Mastery" by "Miles Moore". It appears to have been generated by AI. The info is all not quite worded right. The diagrams are broken. It is 444 pages of wasted paper. Yes, this piece of dreck is 444 pages...

I got another Volume 2, so here is another complete set of Walt Harris's Billiard Atlases, volumes 1, 2, 3, and 4. Volume 1 is the first edition and it's a little yellowed and a little bumped but otherwise in good condition. The other three volumes are in like-new condition. No marks (or...

Evidently, a second annual US National Pool Championship is in the works. More info soon? I had a couple of nice visits to Dubuque. One time, I had a meal in a restaurant there and someone anonymously "paid it forward."

Start time is listed as Wednesday, Dec. 3rd, 18:30. That's 1:30PM Eastern, 10:30AM Pacific. (Play starts half an hour later?) Tickets are still available for all days as of this posting, but Friday is very sparse. (see below) Teams: Europe: Joshua Filler 857 Jayson Shaw 834 -- Captain Moritz...

From Accu-Stats: Notice the comments about the dead wing ball. This was a long time before templates or The Sardo.

This was published by the publisher of the Indy 500 Yearbook. Unfortunately, it only lasted one year. 450 pages. $70 including shipping. This book is hard to find now.

Can you spot him? Hint: the picture is from about 15 years ago.

Here is a discussion/interview with Chris Henry, who is the coach to several top snooker players. I found the part about reprogramming the brain with a practice situation particularly interesting.

The three-rail version of this has been around a long time. I only recently saw the four-rail version. It takes sticky rails.
