Buying a pool table again. Had a table since I was 6. Heavily used old, presswood slate crap table whose legs fell off and thus rested on two saw horses. Really enjoyed playing on that crappy thing trying to make shots that I read it Bob Byrnes book. Always enjoyed playing at home; form of...

In a local double elimination tourney, a friend of mine went undefeated and was getting close to winning the winners bracket. The guy that my friend plays is notorius for riding the nine, slopping balls in etc. I'll call him Greg. My friend beats Greg pretty soundly. As it turns out the...

I saw an advertisement on caromtv for an artistic exhibition/competitition that shows Rojas making "the greatest billiard shot ever". Sick. Here is how it's descibed on the WEI table. If you are a diehard pool player and are not familiar with the stuff these guys can do, check out caromtv.com...

I was just wondering how everybody compared a 100 ball run in straight pool to say, bowling a 300 , shooting a round of par golf, running a marathon, or any other sports milestones/achievements you can think of. RC "Great show as always"

The Tony Watson thread really upset me. Is this really what mens pool has come to??? No wonder golf gets all of that TV time. You don't hear stories of Phil Mickelson stealing Tiger Woods Buick and going to the local pawn shop and hawking Vijay Singh's 4 iron. Sounds like the guy needed a...

There is no name recognition in the game of pool anymore. The "championships" are played on loose equipment, in a short race in a game (9-ball) that levels the playing field to where just about anybody can win. No repeat championships= no interest from the non-playing public. Hell, I even...

I just heard the announcers call Earl colorful. Maybe because this guy is nothing but a red-ass. He is definitely the Mike Tyson of pool. Washed up, a basket case who lets their own mental shortcomings short-change their once tremendous talent. Take a handful of Xanax, you douche-bag. You...

I guess FL's latest claim to fame is his 15 ball run without letting the cueball touch a rail. Has anybody tried this? As Onepocketchump can tell you, I'm a crappy player, but despite that, on my 4th try I ran 12 and about 45 minutes later I ran all 15. As with all of Fast Larry's shots, they...

Jump cues are garbage. I am a crappy player and I can jump over a ball one ball width away with a bungee jumper. There are very few pool shots that takes less skill than a jump shot. Nowadays it is barely worth learning how to kick at a ball. Takes away from the strategy of the game, esp 1P...

I am nearing the end of one full week off of work and I am still struggling to try to get thru the totally unsolicited steamy pile of VHS dung that that Fast Larry has pinched off in my mailbox. As I posted earlier, FL claims that one of his dogs can pull off a shot that only one or two human...

I read an earlier post about Fast Larry and how well he played pool and some of the tremendous accomplishments that he's claimed to have had at the pool table. Before you buy into the teetering mound of BS that spews from this guy's yap, I would like you to question the validity of one of his...
