I am looking to purchase one Mosconi ticket for Wednesday. If you have a ticket for sale, please let me know. Feel free to email me at shermanscs@gmail.com. Thanks! Steve

When I give instruction, I setup lesson plans ahead of time and then setup the table in advance of the student arriving by marking the table with the donut reinforcements. This not only takes alot of time to setup, but also gets very busy on the table as I use different color donuts so I can get...

I am not a cue maker, nor do I work on cues. But I am looking for a caliper that I can use for taking various measurements of my pool cues. I made the mistake of going to Home Depot & picking up a basic caliper, but holy smokes, I would never take that rough machined caliper head to my pool...

I was practicing the half ball hit cut shot because I think that is a really good anchoring point for aiming. I noticed that when the cueball was close to the object ball (say 12 inches), a half ball hit seemed too full to make the pocket. I was sure the angle was 30 degrees because I measured...

I am looking for an Its George 2X2 case. A 1x2 would be fine as well! Not going to be too picky on specific style, just that the case has to be in very good condition and have working lock and key. If you have one, please feel free to respond to this thread or PM me. Thanks! - Steve Sherman

I was at the Super Billiards Expo this week and I was wondering if anyone else in this forum saw this and has an opinion if it was a foul or not. Before I start, I want to say that I am a fan of both of these players and it is going to sound like I am questioning the ethics of Alex Pagulayan...

I have been playing with a particular cue for a number of years now. The other day, I was looking to get in a bit of practice, but I was too lazy to break out my case and pull my cue out (I have a love/hate relationship with my butterfly case). So I grabbed a cue off my rack that I used to use...

Awesome showing at the US Open, Congratulations! I only wish you played for team USA in the Mosconi Cup! :)

If you have a dominant eye (right eye in my case), are you better off aligning the sight line of the cue under your dominant eye or the middle, aligned under your chin? Steve Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

How do Action Matches Work? And for that matter, how does the notion of $ added to an event work? I was watching the POV stream of the West Coast Challenge this 4th of July. A number of the events have some good prize money added, $3k-$10k. On the 11th they list a $100,000 challenge match...

I'm looking at the current U.S.A. Standings and I just don't think any mix of these players can beat a potential team Europe roster. Here are the latest point standings from poolmag. http://poolmag.com/mosconi-cup-team-usa-standings/ What do you guys think? Steve Sent from my iPhone using...

I posted a bunch of Super Billiards Expo videos on YouTube. I didn't edit them, just wanted to get them posted. So there are some of the floor, some upside down, etc. :) In the mean time, hopefully for those of you who attended, this will be a way to bring you back there for a bit - good...

The Drill Instructor is a fixture at the SBE. It doesn't feel the same without him! Does anyone know how come the Sarge isn't here? Steve

Does anyone know if the SBX mobile app (Eventbrite, search for super billiards expo) will list pro player times and will we be able to lookup players in the app to see match times? Thanks, - Steve

It is so difficult for pool to get viewership in the first place. Why would they host the US open during the week and not on the weekend when it would be easier to get viewership? Makes no sense to me. Let's host one of the most significant events for a sport we all complain isn't getting the...

I notice that many pros aim at the bottom of the cue ball as if they are going to put draw on every shot. Yet, somehow they adjust to the relevant cue position (high, center, etc.) during the stroke. Is this a specific technique? I have always aligned at the specific position at the cue ball I...

About a year ago or so, there was a product called True Rack, which was an aluminum rack, but only two sided. It would fold nicely & fit in the pocket of your case. I have been searching & found the website, but it says they are sold out. Strange that the website of the company is all sold out...

We took a lot of video at the super billiards expo. Mostly random video of what it was like to walk around the expo, not video of professional match play. There are a few videos of mine and my dad's matches in this playlist, but mostly the videos are of just the experience of being there. These...

Guys, I have been calling the Valley forge Casino for weeks now trying to get in on the special rate, which was not offered by the hotel (Neither the tower nor Radisson at the casino). I just called again today and they finally had the reduced rates registered (at least at the Tower. I did not...

I am extremely disappointed and saddened that my "home pool room" is closing. On January 7th, The Corner Pocket in Milford Connecticut will close its doors for good. The big problem seems to be high rents combined with the fact that pool players simply don't spend money in the pool hall (which...
