    Professional pool prize funds historically.

    People were all excited about the $90,000.00 prize that Yapp won. The commentators could not stop talking about it. It occured to me when recently watching one of the Sands Regency tournaments from the 80s. The first prize was $40,000.00. that is $120,000.00 in today's dollars. Just found it...

    Scott Smith question

    My wife and I were talking about him the other night. We're trying to figure out how old he was when he passed away. I've been looking online and I couldn't find an obituary. Maybe somebody is better at this could let me know thanks

    Extensions vs. the mechanical bridge.

    This is not in the least a debate. In fact I have had a screw on extension for my cue for like 30 years. Miz had one that looked like a piece of a vacuum cleaner hose he slipped on the butt of his cue. I watch a lot of the pool now and they are constantly using an extension when a bridge would...

    The jump cue has really come into its own.

    The way players play safe today, without the jump cue. Most of the games would be two or three safeties a ball in hand and a run out.

    Why are most CF shafts black?

    It may sound like a dumb question but I am serious. Was there some kind of study done that determined that? When Cuetec started they were mostly white if I remember correctly.

    Carlo Biado's cue

    Was watching last night and some of the close-ups look like he plays with a conventional wooden cue. I noticed he wasn't wearing a glove and a shaft looks like it could be 13 mm or larger is that correct?

    Diamond table domination

    Just watching a live stream and it occurred to me. Are there any other tables other then Diamond that are used today? That is some domination of a market.

    Question about Derby cues

    I know this subject is probably been beaten to death. I've been watching the YouTube coverage and it's great I'm really enjoying it. I got to ask though, is anybody there using a conventional cue anymore? I'm not being sarcastic, it's just that the volume of players at Derby would be a pretty...

    Are pool players team players?

    I watch this video and it made me think. Pool players are mostly individuals and not really team players. It might account for why nobody really cares anything about the Mosconi cup.

    Watch this match and see what you think of playing by these rules.

    One pocket match Allen vs Diliberto

    This is a fun watch. While somewhat over the hill, it gives a small glimpse of just how good Ronnie was in his prime. He could really play.

    Observational question from watching some of the Mosconi cup

    The camera work is pretty good with lots of close-ups. I keep noticing when they show their tips they are playing with tips that looked to be in many cases just a few millimeters thick. Used to be tips were commonly almost a quarter of an inch thick. Is this the new thing? They also seem to cue...
