It takes over all of your free time. Even when you're on a team, you're still on your own. It's a very alpha-oriented sport. It can be extremely expensive. You are always going to need a bigger room if you want to play at home. Pets & Pool are usually a bad idea. Everyone thinks they...

Which table brand do you think plays the most difficult straight from the factory? No special or modified rails. Just whatever they have commercially available. I was thinking Diamond.

If and when you return to playing league, which night does it occur on for you? I left the poll open to multiple responses since you might play in more than one league.

Alright, let's say you're about to enter a large tournament with a good payout, or a gambling set with enough in the middle to make a few payments on your toys. Do you want the balls clean, or do you want them filthy?

I used to take my Everio HD camera down to the pool hall to record practice and playing sessions. I did it for about 6 months and learned a great deal of things to work on. A few years later I took my a friend down as she was learning and I thought it would be a great tool for her. I found out...

I need some help deciding between these. (9-Ball)

Is this interesting enough to keep you watching until the end of the video? Higgins v Yan

Not bad at all for they are working with. Add a few alcoves with seats and a pub table and you could charge table time :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29c7Y6pbnEM

I have a blues playlist I love to listen to while practicing or shooting, but sometimes I like to switch it up a little. I'll limit myself to posting 1 song per day: Old Dominion - One Man Band Any takers?

Stumbled across this recently. Might be of interest for those in Southern Alberta or the Northern US.

More of a question of preference than, "what's good for the game." If pool never again appears on a television set I don't think I'd notice to be honest. I don't actually own a TV. I have computers, and two are connected to projectors. Rarely if ever do I even turn on a set-top box that would...

Sadly, it won't happen. But *IF* it could ... SVB vs Melling? All around: 8-Ball 10-Ball One-Pocket Who would you like to see match up if we still had TAR?

A friend of mine is looking for any info on his Falcon cue. Any experts out there who can give him a hand?

(To some people apparently.) News from Winkler, MB

We all take time away from pool now and then. Our reasons are different but everyone goes through stages where we walk away. A few years ago I returned after a hiatus and had trouble being consistent in my play. I asked some instructors for advice and got lots of great replies. Randy...

Fitness? Practice? Fundamentals? Kicking? Something else perhaps?

Justin (JCIN) locked the door for the last time on the TAR studio in Las Vegas. As I go through the old podcasts and hear them speak about the great responses from AZ I see it through a lens, looking backward. We've lost a lot of intelligent posters since then, some great action threads, and...

We're all getting older and unfortunately most don't notice it until it's already taken its toll. So what, in your experience, happens as you age and you continue to play? Is it the eyes that go, the back that won't co-operate, the focus that wanes, the energy that escapes us when we need to...

Food for thought; maybe there is a physical difference in the eyes themselves that allows some to "see" angles, edges, and lines better than others. Discounting natural ability, and motor control skills which can be learned or corrected. Perhaps this is also why some aiming systems work for...

I got drunk. Ok, that's a lie :frown: just buzzed. But I coulda' wiped the floor with that girl and instead I only beat her by one game! I apologize to all of my backers because I didn't beat the spread. She even drank more than I did. :eek: I'm a bad man and I just thought I should tell AZ...
