Many times I've watched video clips of you guys playing 14.1 and I've been amazed at how some of you manage to run your racks so quickly. Most instructors would say that you should frequently walk around the table and plan your pattern after every shot. In contrast, right after some people...

Yesterday, I thought I would try out my new camera and zoom lens by taking pictures of the players where I play at. Since I'd like to get more involved with pool photography at the places I go to, I would be interested in knowing what type of camera equipment (camera and lenses) other...

FYI: ABC News "Nightline" will be broadcasting a segment on Danny Basovich tonight. 'Kid Delicious' Traveling across the country, pool hustler Danny Basovich made hundreds of thousands of dollars playing the game. As word of his skill with the pool cue spread, however, the 29-year-old New...

I'm asking this question on behalf of the owner of a pool hall that I play pool at. During league play, I found out that the computer program that my pool hall uses to calculate a player's rating is 18-years old and is prone to errors. This computer program calculates ratings strictly by...

The other night, while playing 8-ball in a pool league, I miscued badly and failed to hit the object ball with the cue ball. My opponent then took his shot from the misqued cue ball position instead of taking ball-in-hand. After my opponent missed his shot, I asked him why he didn't take BIH...
