The GoFundMe thread for John Schmidt's attempt to re-establish the 14.1 world record got me thinking. Why not have Patreon/Venmo/CashApp codes for the players when they are playing on streams? Displayed on screen under the player name/score. The streamers have links and they are regularly...

I just stumbled across this on YouTube. It’s a documentary about the Clinton Iowa bar table tournaments from the 1980s. Lots of great photos and narrative to go along with them. https://youtu.be/5Hu3a_H2h3c 15:45 long. Photos of Buddy, Matlock, Danny Medina, David Howard, Larry Hubbard...

This aiming system is an improvement on the HAMB method. It changes it from a million to 950,000 balls to be a pro. lol. I thought of it as a joke but then I tried it once when practicing and it really, really locked me in. It's a great thing to do when warming up or practicing shots you have...

Amnesty for DACA folks who grew up here and a deporting the rest while building the wall. I’m ok with that. Most of his toughest illegal immigration stances were exaggerated by the media to paint him as a racist.

I made up a new (I think) game that emphasizes safety play and kicking as well as shotmaking. Here goes: You rack 9 balls (short rack) or 15 balls (full rack) and break normally. For the short rack game the 5 is the money ball and for the full rack game the 9 is the money ball. You play in...

I just discovered this app. Anybody else on there? I'd like to follow AZBers and meet up to play once in a while.

One of my favorite rooms - The Broken Rack - recently moved from it's location in the Emeryville Public Market to a location a few blocks away in a larger building with ample parking. I stopped in to check it out and the new space is amazing. It's a huge space with very high ceilings and and a...

ETA - The wood is no longer available. Just took out a persimmon tree and was going to toss the wood but I thought someone on here might want it. I am not willing to ship it so this would be someone who can pick it up in the San Francisco Bay area. (East bay) If you're interested just let...

It's been a while since I posted in the main forum as I haven't been playing much so bear with me. When I used to play a lot of tournaments I definitely noticed a huge difference in performance based on what I ate, how I slept, etc...but I never really followed up on it. Skip to today...

Mental Game - The role of aiming systems in peak performance - sixpack - 2009 - AZB forums I've been thinking about this for a while but I haven't had the time to put it down. The recent resurgence of aiming system threads convinced me to make time though :) Most golfers know the best way to...

I didn't know he was such a speedy player...or that he played much 14.1. But I enjoyed watching this tape. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDsX0OlzXdQ&feature=related ~rc

Pictures of this table have been posted here before, but I found myself in Bodie the other day and couldn't resist posting my take on it. I just love the lion heads and feet in the legs. Thanks for checking it out! ~rc

I wrote an article recently for a business column for a local newspaper about monthly recurring revenue. Basically everybody from your grocery store to your healthclub is really focusing on monthly recurring revenue to sell their products. One of the challenges with businesses like cuemaking...

Some high-profile pool player should get in with southwest to do some ads. I'd be happy to pitch it but I won't have time for a few months. As a pool player I can't imagine why you would fly any other airline. In addition to being cheap their 'no-fee' thing is beautiful for pool players. I...

Something I have been thinking about with pool just gelled for me so I thought I would share it. One time I was in a place for a couple of years with work. I didn't know anybody and nobody knew me. Nobody knew how good I played so I decided to ACT like I played good. I decided to mimic the...

With the Tony C. situation serving as another reminder of how our beloved pastime can lead or help folks down the wrong path, I wanted to take a slightly different approach. Namely, I want people to share skills they learned in pool that have helped them be successful in other (legal) walks of...

The recent thread on clapping on an 8-ball scratch made me think about how I think about winning and losing in pool vs. how some other people might. And I don't know if my way helps you win more or less, but I know that I enjoy it more and I seem to get much more wins out of my game than many...
