    One pocket rule clarification: Non-forward stroke intentional foul

    Recently I started showing my age and started playing one pocket & one particular opponent plays an intentional foul shot which I'm not sure if legal. He basically declares the foul then taps the top of the CB with his ferrule then goes to spot a ball, is this considered a real shot? In other...

    RIP Johnny Ross

    Very sorry to report (and I waited for multiple confirmations) that Mr. John Ross has passed away, anyone who gambled at pool or heard the term "hustler" at one time or another thought of him in their heads. I don't have any information of how he passed or about arrangements/service but will...

    Thoughts on phones for calling fouls

    Didn't see anything when I searched for keywords, but what do you guys/girls think about using a phone camera to help call hits when a referee is called to watch a hit. We're all fallible and perhaps the video backup would help aid more accurate calls.........what is your opinion? Neil

    Measure cueball break speeds among other things

    I don't know if the novelty has worn off of measuring the speed of people's breaks but here is a little tool to make it a little easier even if it doesn't seem to be the most convenient radar gun out there. At $130 it's not exactly cheap either so I hope this thing is wonderfully accurate or it...

    Pre-Shot Routine, feedback please Looking for feedback, comments and hopefully some additions to something I put together for a student, the player is someone who has been playing for a number of years and feels that his game is "sloppy" and lacking certain mental focus points. He isn't...

    Paul Dayton

    Had a chance to talk with him last night during the Poison Tour stop at Ultimate Billiards in Fort Pierce, he is a very nice man and very open to talking shop. His cues are tastefully done and his work is excellent, the finish on his cues is perfectly flat and brilliant. Please visit his website...

    Chalk causes deflection?

    "Billiard chalk on a cue tip can increase the amount of deflection incurred by increasing the friction that the tip generates." From this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cue_stick Is there any validity to this?

    Jump Buddy..........legal?

    http://www.jump-buddy.com/Work.html Is this thing legal to use in league or tournament play? I've searched here but couldn't find anything on it, it's a novel idea but it seems more like a crutch than a teaching tool. What do you guys/girls think?

    Sharking or just complaining?

    Saturday I played a $10 tournament with some local heavies, one match was played with an older accomplished player that just started playing again. The match was played on a table with 2 of the 4 fluorescent lights out so it was very dark, I had just played on the table so I knew about the issue...

    Arrest made for Ivory smuggling

    This is the first time I have ever seen a story about someone being arrested for it, pictured is a LOT of Ivory!! It's kind of silly but I am glad they didn't mention pool cues as one of the items that are commonly used in illegal business, the guy wasn't smart to use Ebay as a fence though. He...

    Cuemaker keeping a customer's cue

    A friend of mine sent in a cue to get authenticated and have some work done to it, they said it was a fake and so they "confiscated" it. Have you ever heard of such a thing? It's not like they have a patent on the design or technology, EVERYONE copies these particular cues all day every day...

    Harold Queen Cue, Butterfly splice

    Here is a nice example of a relatively unknown cuemaker here in Jacksonville named Harold Queen, he makes cues as a hobby with most of his cues being very unique and none being similar to another. This cue has two Butterfly spliced points with an orange veneer, matching Hoppe-style ring and...
