Just for kicks, i thought i'd open up a discussion about old school vs new school players. There many similarities and also differences. I think that one of the greatest matches anyone could imagine would be yesterdays best vs todays best. Scott Frost, still in his prime, is considered the best...

Just like to get the opinion of everyone here. I honestly feel that a case could be made for it as well as against it. I try to get an agreement on this (either way) with whomever i'm playing before the coin flip so that there won't be any problems. I think most players don't play sleepers to a...

Been away for awhile, just thought i'd ask a question that i've heard several answers to ...

Hi, first off i'd like to say it's good to be back, ive been away for some time now because my wife underwent ovarian surgery. Thank God after 2 months she's fine and back working again and life is back to normal. I hit a few balls the other day at a friends house for the first time in over a...

Hi, Forgive me for starting this thread off on the tail end of the afore thread on the great Jack Cooney; seeing that Cooney thread brings to mind flyboy, because it was in his place ( actually the late lambert owned it but fly was his house man ) where i first met Cooney, and to tell you a...

Hi, Now, don't get me wrong there are exceptions to this . Some players have the ability to teach and communicate effectively enough to make good instructors/teachers but from what i have found, the top players are'nt necesarily the top instructors ... I think teaching is an art in and of...

There are quite a few us that can really chow down . I've heard stories of road players coming to town and cleaning out buffets! I heard that Grady Mathews could really put it away, but i can't vouch for that one myself . I know pool players are big eaters and this thread is dedicated to the...

I don't know if you guys have heard about this site, but let me tell ya, it's the nuts! You can spend hours and hours on it and won't get bored, tons of cool stuff you have access to, if this particular interest or niche is your thing, then you should do yourself a favor and stop by and hang...

Alright, we're all adults here and i'm sure that all of us have spent enough time in the pool room to see and do just about everything ( and i do mean everything ) what are some of the more personal things that you've either witnessed or experienced yourself? I'll start by saying that i've...

Hi, quick question guys, if you were told to close your eyes an imagine a pool player, who would it be? what pool player's face would be in your subconscious mind? This immediate image for the sake of arguement would undoubtedly be your image of pool. Based on todays game who would that face of...

What are the tell tale signs of when your fish has lost all ability to negotiate a game rationally? I say one way of knowing that his nose is open is when your opponent honestly thinks he is stealing from you and although he's stuck at the time he feels that you're just lucky and he'll...

This arguement should probably be prefaced by discipline, but if you look at the player with the highest winning gambling percentage, there is one name that jumps out at me as the best money player over the past 10-15 years .... Jose Parica Now, flame all you want all you Efren fans but i'd be...

Truth be told, were all the same. Pool players are wired differently then everyone else and if anyone tells ya otherwise they are lying. We're our own breed of ANIMAL ... Case in point, these are just a few things that I'd bet everyone in here has done at least one .... 1. In general non pool...

Hi, I was probably 18 or 19 years old, had been playing pool for about 5 or 6 months give or take, I thought i was pretty good, at least good enough to play for cheap ya know . Well, i was fortunate enough to pick up on a few things at a young age and one lesson i learned, i would never forget...

Hi, This thread is strictly all about the ladies . I know many of us guys don't take female pool players as seriously as we probably should . This is an open discussion as to which ladies have the most gamble and generate the kind of action note worthy of her male counter part .... Now, keep...

Hi, If you're anything like me you love a great pool match, and when it's captured on video it's all the more sweeter ... Now our good friend Pat Fleming has done a helluva job filming matches for several years now . Hell, i remember when i first learned of Accu-Stats it was on a Camel Pro...

This thread is all about the greatest cue ball wizards of all time . The guys that have otherwordly control of their rock . Not so much the gunslingers and the guys that are great shotmakers but use multiple rail position, no this is a discussion about the true cue ball masters, the guys that...

Hi, I just want to say that i really envy these guys . Hell, i can't even eat a bowl of chicken soup lefty, much less write . And my lefty pool stroke looks like something out of a horror movie! A friend of mine and i were just talking about this and we seemed to differ in opinion on who were...

The good, the bad & the ugly ... The miraculous, the spectacular, the awe inspiring .... The incredible, the remarkable, the exhilirating .... What am i talking about? well all of us know that I am talking about our own sanctuary of bliss, better known as the pool room ... That's right, if we...

I think it's no question that "the color of money" is by far the most entertaining pool related movie of all time, and it's also one of the few movies that everyone has his/her own favorite scene and line .... Well, here's my favorite line ........ Carmen ( Vincent's girl ) whispers in his ear...
