This post is not meant to insult, put down or degrade anyone. but i am amazed at how much people obsess about pool equipment and the like. They try a new stick every week, obsess over having the right chalk and whether its been soaked in milk long enough for them to be able to run out, how much...

It doesnt seem like a lot is known about him. does anyone know what he is like as a person? just curious.

I hear a lot of stories about shanes practice time being legendary, and that he spends a lot of time practicing, and i like that sort of thing. Does anyone know how much he really practices? and what does he practice? thanks for feedback just curious practice stories inspire me.

If there is one shot i really do not miss, regardless of pressure, it is the long straight ins. (dont worry im not bragging, i still miss cuts like its no ones buisness) The reason for this is early on, someone told me if the shot is straight in, all you have to do is fixate on the very bottom...

I play in a lot of tournaments, and i do my fair share of gambling, and one thing i just cannot stand is when people, some of them experienced players, have to make a stupid remark getting up from their chair after you have played a good saftey. I am a firm believer if you are playing someone...

Apologies, double post.

I know every professional is good for our sport in some way, but who do you think are a few of, lets say top 3, best representatives for our sport, and why do you think so? Ralf Souquet is my first pick. He always dresses well, easy to talk to, never says a bad word, always looks focused and...

Hi I have tested many wraps, and the wrap is the only thing i tend to be picky about on my cue, and i was golfing the other day and it hit me: A golf club grip would be perfect on a cue (to me). anyone have any experience with this or know if it could be done? Feedback much appreciated.

Am i the only person that finds some of the stuff Earl says to be britches-wetting hilarious? This is not a thread to insult him or be negative towards him, but what are some of the funny things that he has said? One that sticks out in my mind was during the Archer challenge match. A minute...

Curious to your thoughts as to who currently has the best safety game in roatation games like 9 ball or 10 ball and why theirs is the best. For current, i would have to say eithier Souquet or Alcano. Souqet wins it for his consistent safeties and Alcano gets a mention for his extremley elaborate...

...that after they beat you with the nuts, the first thing they do is make sure you know theyre the better player, and tell everyone else the same? Anyone else deal with these morons? I have this c- player whos been playing all his life and thinks hes god but in reality cannot run 2 balls but...

I am fortunate to play in a room with all diamonds, a few of which have some of the tightest pockets you could want, and today, i went to a room with gold crowns with similarly tight pockets (after not playing on a gold crown for probably 8 months) And felt that the pockets were almost too easy...

Just wanted to post the website for one of the best pool halls in ohio for anyone who doesnt know about it or is passing through the Cincinnati area. www.michaelsbilliards.com Very nice place, well taken care of. Plenty of 9 foot diamonds and a good selection of bar tables. If you havent...

great match on ESPN classic right now

I am thinking of going to the US open this year, not to play, strictly for knowledge and observattion. I live in Cincinnati, Ohio, so its quite a drive, and i just wanted to know from anyone who has been if it is worth it. Would you reccomend going to spectate? Thanks!

I have been interested in learning who the best teachers in pool were, as i am eventually going to want to take lessons. Who, in your peoples opinion, are say, the top 10 teachers in the buisness? (United states only please:p ) Appreciate the feedback!

...i really have heard or seen no examples of this. Im a huge fan of Ronnie o Sullivan and if anyone could clue me in on some of his antics i would love to hear. What kind of stuff has he pulled at tournaments?

I have, especially of late, been extremley impressed with Ralf Souquet. He played the best pool ive ever seen at the Derby, and the fact that he almost always places high in or wins tournaments is a testament to his consistency. I think he is one of the most consistent players who ever lived, i...
