No one really plays 14.1 in my area but I love the game and am working on a goal to run 30 in 2025. My highest run is about 20 and I shot 18 a couple weeks ago. Since then I've had trouble getting through the first rack. Here are a couple racks I played tonight. I know I need to continue working...

Hello, I've been using my time since I started working from (and barely leaving) my house to work on my game and try to improve my 14.1 especially. After things get back to normal, I want to find a regular 14.1 game with someone/somewhere even if it means trucking 90 minutes to Syracuse once a...

With the announcement that 3 of 5 spots on Team USA will be filled based on achievement, do you think Team USA will be better (that is, have a better record) than the 2014 team? Here's a thread about the announcment: http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?p=5055299#post5055299

I was surprised to see Mike Dechaine in the loser's bracket after the first round. This is the first I've heard of Erik Hjorleifson (the guy who beat him), anyone know anything about him?

I was flipping through Netflix last night and saw that they are streaming The Hustler. I haven't seen it available before so thought I'd pass along the info.

Here's an interesting segment of the Ronnie O'Sullivan Show that looks at a program that introduces kids to snooker. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swbtvLnZQEE#t=68 A couple observations: 1) The small, portable tables. This is great. There's no reason that kids have to play on tournament...

A friend pointed this article out to me last night at league. I think having a single thought/idea/thing-to-focus-on can be really good if you're like me and have trouble filtering out all the noise and distractions in the bars/poolrooms while playing...

I always have a local guy replace the tips on my cues but lately I've been thinking of learning to do it myself. The local guy is great but has so much going on that I usually have to wait a week or more to get a shaft back. So I'm wondering if I'm in the minority with not knowing how to...

I didn't see this discussed on the forum in the past couple days. Did I miss it or did everyone miss it: http://www.azbilliards.com/news/stories/10972-accu-stats-announces-the-make-it-happen I like that they're doing different packages at different price points.

I bought a used GC II about 28 months ago. I have lived with its problems but now I'm getting sick ofi t. 1. As I metioned in another thread, the ballbox on my GC II was missing the metal trim piece and the wood had worn down so much that balls can spin out of the box and bounce on my...

As the subject says, I'm thinking of converting my Gold Crown II from a ball return table to drop pockets. My ballbox is worn down in one spot and balls frequently fall out and bounce on the concrete floor. Because of this I don't use a nice set of Centenial balls I was given. Also I recently...

The article doesn't have a link to where we can find the stream. Found it http://www.ustream.tv/channel/azbtv You guys should put this information in your releases. :) Thanks -matthew

On the first day of the Mosconi Cup, they posted this on their facebook page: Have they announced the "exciting news" yet? I didn't see anything on facebook that qualifies as "exciting" and I figure it would have gotten lost on AZB in the rush to call everything and everyone disgraceful.

I've been trying to decide lately if I should buy a jump cue or not. And this has led me into a bigger area of thought where I'm trying to figure out the best way to organize and prioritize my practice time. In other words, what should I work on now and when should I say that skill/shot X is...

Golf.com is doing a gallery of golfers playing other sports (LINK) and though they show Palmer bowling, the accompanying text has this: Thought it was an interesting tidbit to share...

I have an older model Gold Crown (I think it's a II but have no definitive proof) and the rubber/plastic pockets have been beat to hell. I was looking at Classic Billiards to get a price and I see they have two offerings: Factory Brunswick style replacement Gully return boots for Gold Crown...

I currently use an old McDermott for my break cue. I see no exceptional reason for getting an real break cue but my birthday's coming up and figured that might be something to suggest. Is there something about break cues that make them better than an old cue with a hard tip? (I don't need a...

I'm mulling over the idea of driving down to the City for the last couple days of the tournament but when I look at Steinway's website, they don't seem to have anything in the way of spectator seating. That could just be because of the pictures they took.... This is important to me because I...

I'm a weekly league player and my record is pretty bad this session. As of today, I'm 3 - 6. When I look back at all my matches, I'm not actually playing that badly, I just make late-game mistakes that cause me to lose. Last night for example, I managed to win hill-hill but 3 out of the 4...

I'm going to San Francisco next week and will be taking a lesson at Jillians. Before you start with the "you should go to XYZ instead", I'm going to cut you off and say that this is most convenient for everyone involved. I don't want to put my cue in my suitcase because it has great...
