I really felt this needed its own thread. SVB, Griffin and Panozzo. Lots had to happen to get this event going. Although he was an inductee, Mike Panozzo still did 90% of the leg work from negotiating with the site, communicating witH Matchroom, managing attending HOFers and their travel...

What is this outfit and set of rules? I remember seeing it mentioned before, but it’s starting to grow legs. Their rules don’t follow World Standardized Rules.

Can’t make it, so my loss is your gain. $100 each. Preference to posters buying both tickets.

https://www.facebook.com/share/v/9mfnc1Tf7XQoYMTC/?mibextid=WC7FNe or This is just a really cool video from Alex on what Paul Thornley (Canadian champion) did for his career. He mentions the influence of the Filipino greats, but says that Paul Thornley really was his mentor. Paul had the...

I don’t know when, and maybe I missed it, but longtime AZB Poster, NYC’s Dave Luddy ( Nostroke ) recently passed about a month ago battling the Big C. He was 75. I just saw the post of his memorial. He was a prolific poster in the Main Forum and also participated in the Action Forum. I first...

I will be in the area next week, so I’m taking advantage and will attend the final 2 days. My first Mosconi Cup in the UK. Who else from AZB will be in attendance? Freddie <~~~ ticking off bucket list items

It’s amazing that this used to be a topic every other month 10, 15, and 20 years ago. Now with the recent walkout of a player due to having to play a transgender woman, can we revisit the age-old debate? If there is “no physical reason that a man would have an inherent advantage in pool,” then...

It feels like we’ve addressed this “touching the cueball with the tip during BiH” a thousand times. I always understood this not to be a foul. But John called it. The wording says, “forward stroke.” I don’t think for one moment what Chang did constitutes a forward stroke. The intent was...

With so many Carbon Fiber shafts out there today, is there an updated list for squirt of the various CF shaft? I have at least four different brands, and it amazes me when people try to tell me that Carbon Fiber shafts are low deflection." Right. My Revo is incredibly low. The rest aren't...

They existed. I played on one 35 year: ago, and it was heinous since we used the big ball. Today’s newbies think those tables never existed. Here’s one. And here’s the owner. He bought it some 25-30 years ago and has first rights of refusal if the current bar owner sells it. 9’ bar table...

There have been a bunch of different threads lately, asking some questions on single-layer tips of all things. I guess we are forever regressing in our advancements.... Rather than keep linking the article in the individual threads, here is my tip article from18 1/2 years ago, which was...

I know that people complain about the relatively recent obnoxious move of tournament winners jumping on the tables. I had said that isn’t a new move, and I remember the guy who I thought was the first to do it. Maybe someone else did, but I don’t recall someone doing it before… Kim Davenport...

Just received a used 5/16-14 Cynergy. It fits my Schon and my Mezz (which has a bullet nose). My Tascarella and my Adam Balabushka don't screw down all the way. Wondering if this is common challenge with Cynergy. I recall when I got my Tiger shaft 5/16-14, it also didn't go all the way down...

Lot of people missed it, and maybe there’s a video upload to YouTube by now, but FSR gave a nod and dedication to Darren Appleton at one of his post-match interviews. I thought it was awesome as anything else this man has done this past year...

Just wanted to share how my wife and I moved our bar table when I had my room built. The barbox is temporary as I previously had a very open lanai. I decided to tear down the lanai and have a sunroom installed with a mini split. I bought these heavy duty casters that happened to have a lovely...

Mike will obviously have something on the main page, but in the meantime, as a proud senior member of the USBMA and the Hall of Fame Committee, I’m happy to announce: The Voters have spoken. This year’s BCA Hall of Fame Inductees are: Dennis Orcullo - Greatest Player Category Jerry W Briesath...

Title says it all. Tina just captured her first SBE Championship. This is I believe the first time she played the Women’s Open. This was a big bucket item on her list, so I’m very happy for her and her accomplishment. Congrats to Ashley Benoit for her Runner-Up finish. Both struggled to get...

For those of you into such things, Dan Janes finally gave in and built a duplicate after years of saying he would never build one to the same specs. It’s at the SBE and can be yours for $2200 if it’s not already sold.
