Other than the Wolford/Megalino set has there been any changes other notable sets or any being talked about for later in the week?

A couple of ideas for American pool.

Sharing this here for those interested in being involved with youth.

Interested in any feedback.

I am exploring the idea of opening a club much like the New York Cue Club. The first thing to do is to try to determine if there is enough of a demand for it. To this end I need Houston players to not only complete this short survey but get all their friends who might be interested to do the...

Are Gilbert Martinez Sr and Jr. related to Laz and Gabriel Martinez? My instinct says yes but I don’t know. Thanks in advance for your guidance on this matter.

My wife and I drove from Houston to check it out. Fantastic room!!!

At the moment this appears to be the best match up for a high stakes long race. I think a race 120 10 ball seams to be the most logical format. I would rate a match like this as a coin toss. If I was forced in to betting I would go Gorst by 5 games. I really like both men equally. Both young...

As per buffs facebook post buffs 3 formerly known as Lacey’s is closing its doors. Hate to see a room that nice go down.

Over the past couple of decades many rooms have closed. Some were all time treasures but for the most part they were dumps and I’m not sad that they are gone. The worst room I ever went in was in southeast Houston. On the sign it was called fat dats bilards. Not sure why they spelled billiards...

If you could build a space that was purpose built to provide the most ideal seating configuration for spectators what would it be? Here are my thoughts: 1. the first row of seating would be high enough for ideal viewing. Being on floor level isn’t good for seeing the table. 2. Each successive...

I have heard many stories of players running out sets in tournament matches and in gambling matches. I am curious as to the best tournament performance in terms of overall break and run out percentage throughout an entire tournament. Anyone know of notable examples of a player keeping his...

Another thread on pocket size got me to thinking and I didn’t want to high jack that thread with a bunch of unrelated thoughts so here I go with my own thread. I know this is a topic that gets hit more times than a stray dog on the I 10 freeway but I stepped away from the game for a while and...

Can anyone point me to a resource that discusses break shots in straight pool? It is the biggest weakness in my game. I don’t fully understand which ball to go in to and how to address the cue ball based on where the break ball is. Thanks in advance.

I have always been a workaholic and devoted family man. However, I have had a job change where my stress level is gratefy reduced and my kids are grown now. Incidentally my wife loves the fact that I’m chasing a life goal of a 100 ball run. I turn 50 in April but in good shape physically. I have...

In a Mosconi cup style tournament with the two teams being Texas and Oklahoma who would be your picks for each team? Players would have to be current residents of the state they represent. 5 players for each team. Who would you say would win?

At what point in the history of the game did cloth start playing faster or has it been a slow evolution? By the time I started playing in 1999 fast cloth was already a thing and it seemed that way for pro tournaments.

See Saw that that final was.a 9-0 thrashing. Was it a combination of 3 or 4 packs or one monster package? How did it play out?
