    Then and Now

    Nicknames are about as as ridiculous as ever. "Pink Dagger". LOL, we are trying to describe someone who plays an esoteric game pushing around balls with a stick. Ditto chalking, still arguing about type and technique of application. Jeezuz, I'm feeling nihilistic these days. For so many...

    A Pool Player's Prayer

    I didn't play in the pool league last night and awoke to my team's texts lamenting their loss of 4-2 giving up 19 points per round. I advised the following: Fear not good friends. This prayer should help our malaise: Our Efren, who art in The Phillipines, hallowed be thy speed control, thy 8...

    Got the W last night

    I don't play tournaments really. Last night was only the third in over a decade. I really despise staying up late. That said, I found out last night how hard it is to win a chip tournament starting with only 3 chips. What a dang grind...but got to the finish line first early in the morning...

    Pool jerseys are bad, but also not good

    Yo, pool jerseys look bad bruh. Old school bowling shirts would be better. Pretty much anything would be better. Not picking on Filler, his is just a common example cuz he wins so much. Just sayin'...

    Freedom

    My divorce wss finalized this week. Pool, travel, hiking and fishing will now be the order of operations. I wonder if it would be bad or good to date a lady pool player one day? Inquiring minds want to know 🤔 P.S. I gathered up the last of my stuff from the marital estate and was reunited...

    Sold DYMONDWOOD BREAK SHAFT 3/8x10, GREEN & BLACK

    ***SOLD** On offer is this green and black figured Dymondwood break shaft. Length is 30". Threads are 3/8X10 and it is 13.5mm at the ferrule. Tip looks to be phenolic of some sort. Straight taper. Very lightly used but very close to mint. No blemishes. IMHO, Dymondwood is about as close...

    Diamond red label vs blue

    Boys, it turns out it's the rails. Y'all already know this I'm sure, but I apparently have lived under a rock and became a pool hermit, only playing on my home 9 foot diamond pro red label table with standard pro cut pockets. For reasons not particularly pleasant to think about, I pretty much...

    Light for practice.

    What is the best pool light to help my stroke? I want to draw the ball better with counterclockwise spin as well. Thanks. Also, 14.1 and/or Honolulu

    Shout out to Cornerman

    So I was just feeling lazy today and was watching some of the older 8 ball tourney matches at Griff's from 2018. I didn't realize it but I finally heard the name of the commentators and lo and behold one of them was AZB's Cornerman. I enjoyed your take on the match, well done. Cheers, JL

    Non leather (zento) break tip install question

    Quick question....i've not installed a fancy non leather break tip before. I've had a zento green tip in my collection for years and had forgotten about it til I got this new rhino break shaft. I've got the Willard tip install tool....does anyone know if the Willard blade will cut such a tip...

    Updates on names I don't hear about much anymore?

    Admittedly, I live under a rock. Nevertheless, I used to hear these names winning a bunch, now crickets...I wonder how they are playing these days and if not playing, what they are up to (short list, random players, random order)??? Stevie "The Blade" Moore - did he retire? Wasn't he doing...

    Best shaft lenght?

    If I were to consider a Becue shaft...what is the best lenght? Follow up question: I think a 31" shaft lenght would require more Taom V10 chalk than the 29" or 30" lenghts. Thoughts on that?

    My pool game is really suffering

    At first, I thought it is because I don't play much anymore and stopped practicing eons ago. But, now I think it's because I am deceased. I mean, I don't have a reflection in the mirror anymore, so that's one sign. The summer sun neither burns nor tans my flesh. I see the same crow...

    Stroke help

    If one is having trouble applying backhand english delivering the cueing action with a pendulum stroke and a slight up/down motion and/or slight side to side swiping action, is it best to look at the cue ball or object ball first and/or last? Thanks as always for your help.

    Can a Dymondwood shaft be re-tapered?

    Can this here Dymondwood shaft be re-tapered? I just picked it up and it has a conical taper and is thick as all hades. Would like to see about making it a touch slimmer with less taper. Or would an attempted mod F the material all up?

    Silver Cup Chalk - the best of all????

    Is Silver Cup Chalk the best chalk of all? It may well be, IMHO. Clearly it exists, and one can not play with fictitious chalk, so you can check that box right there to start with. Secondly, it is made in America, who wants commie trash chalk from elswhere, seriously? Given its country of...

    The future of pool (ASMR)

    "Before a proper game of pool can be played, the felt surface of the table must be brushed clean, and chalk applied to the felt tip of the pool cue. In today's short game, both players observe a rule of absolute silence during play, so that we can focus on the sounds of polished wood sliding...

    I found religion

    And it was written into the scriptures that the fatted calf must be placed on a himalayan sea salt slab and cooked in a smoker at 225 degrees. So it was written, so it shall be done.

    Time to hang up my spurs, my pool career is over now that I have achieved the perfect Fargo rating

    I will never play pool again. I have served the dark lord enough and I now have my reward.
