Why are people so stupid that when you are playing pool they stand in the way half the f---ng time? Would most stand in front of the dartboard when you are shooting darts? Sorry had to vent

What was the best shot you have ever made while playing against someone? If you have more than one you would like to share feel free to share.

I just noticed that I haven't seen any posts from Russ since the DCC. Did I just miss it?

First off, happy holidays Louis. I was wondering what kind of grip you use when playing such as firmness of grip etc. I was practicing a few games tonight and I noticed on draw shot and center ball pound shots my grip was loose and I was losing power. Sometimes on the draw the cue ball even slid...

I am a nobody in the pool world. Having said that, there are a few things I need to say to Earl. No more elbow pads etc etc. No more calling yourself a loser. Forget the golf and tennis. If you want your former glory days to return you need to immerse yourself in the game again. I believe you...

Hi Louis. When you play below your level, how do you deal with it? Do you get down on yourself or do you let it go as soon as possible? Some people have told me not to take pool so seriously, but I find it's hard to do that if you want to be a better player. I believe it HAS to pain you when you...

Is anybody here a good player who happens to struggle with league format? Our format is 4 games per player. You shoot your game and then you sit 3 games while others play. I still finish near the top of league each year but I seem to struggle within this format. Anyelse with the same problem or...

It seems to me that after Shane won the 10 ball ring game there hasn't been any mention of him anymore. I see Mike Banks Jr's name out there now, but not McMinns. Anyone know if he has been playing much since the 10 ball game? Just curious

I was shooting at the local watering hole tonight, when my opponent went and sang a karoake song in the middle of the game. I unscrewed my stick, put on my jacket and walked out while he was singing. I hope he got the point :-)

Hi Louis. Until recently I have not heard of you before. I was wondering if you have stayed underneath the radar or if you have suddenly jumped up to the next level. If it is the latter, what do you attribute to your sudden jump in play? I'm interested to know what changed. However if you have...

I just wanted to say that any fellow posters here who have a pool hall to play at should be thankful. I have to deal with idiots at the bar who are constantly in the way, screaming loud out of tune karoake, walking/moving constantly in your line of sight etc. Not only that, but except for...

When I think of the caliber of play both Corey and Shane are capable of, it reminds me of the football saying of "Any given sunday". I think most people are surprised by the margin Shane won by, but hey it happened. Is Shane better than Corey? During that match he was. I reserve my opinion of...

I play in a town with no pool halls so I'm forced to play in bars. The main bar I play at has bathrooms right by the the table. People walk in your line of sight as you shoot and a lot of people congregate by the table. My question is this. I get extremely frustrated and distracted in this...

What constitutes a 10 ball break? Does it count when the 10 goes in one of the corner pockets by the rack spot or is it the other way around? TIA

Regardless of the controversy over a shot or two, I'm surprised I have not seen much kudos for these two players taking 1st and 2nd in the 10 ball ring game. It was probably the highlight of their lives so far, and yet noone seems to care all that much.

Hi all. My wife and I are thinking about coming to the DCC for a vacation. I would like to try the 9 ball tourney and be a member of the AZ room with playing rights. Between costs of eating and such, how much would anyone who has attended before say is a good amount to bring to have a...

I was practicing on a coin op table and I blocked the pocket by stuffing it with rolled up socks. I accidently powered a hard shot in and the pair of socks went down into the table and now the balls won't come out. Any easy ways to get something like that out of a table? Like maybe say a hanger??

Way to go Alex!!! I know there is a huge Shane fan club here (myself included), but instead of people being dissapointed he didn't win we should applaud your efforts. Good job!

Are there any big tournaments in Phoenix?Just curious

I am curious as to why if we play call your pocket (not every little glance short rail etc) because an insignificant kiss off a ball on a shot that would have went anyways should not cause a loss of turn, why something like someone's hair or shirt sleeve touching a ball should be a foul. I can...
