So, I finished off reading this ebook of the legacy of Ralph Greenleaf written by Sam Korte. It was everything that I would have anticipated what Greenleaf was, but there were parts I never realized he did. The battle between Frank Taberski was something so many of us can relate to (can't spoil...

I take it that Justin's TAR YouTube page and all its videos has been taken out. Can anyone else confirm this, as well?

This is out of lieu of billiardshot's responce of having more members posting about Carom Billiards: What is usually better when applying English (or side) on a cueball: Back-hand English or Parallel English? What does it do to the cueball on both? Deflect (squirt) or does it curve? Please let...

I have not post much or even visited here since July 26th (close to three months, roughly). I know this part of the forum does not get enough credit (as well as the other sub-sections of this forum), so I want to thank the many of you for your contributions to this jewel of a billiard...

Lurking from the outside in, I want to give my thanks right off the bat. Before I do so, I was an active poster from 2006 - 10 and afterward it wained down a bit. I would miss the times Tanner Pruess would gamble hard on this page and win. I remember the pros coming in and it would not be as...

I printed this article in 2006 called, "Hustling, Gambling, and Playing for Money from an individual named Jim Loy. I do not know much about him, but within this article, he mentions that there are differences from these three concepts. As you all know: Hustling - downplaying your abilities to...

Hello AZ Folks, Out of curiosity, but due to the increase in Low-Deflection Shafts, how do you all feel about them in 14.1? I have never played with one before. I am looking forward to getting another cue and I am skeptical about getting a low-deflection cue. If I pull off a slow-speed spin...

Did not want to be too much of a bother when it comes to this question, but what is the difference from old snooker tables from the new? I hear that there is a difference from the shelf of the pockets to the cloth of the table. I do not know and would like for you guys to either drop in links or...

When exactly will we ever see a Sang Lee Invitational again? I recalled that the last one that ever occurred was in around.... 2008 (if I am not mistaken). Any chance of a revival again?

I found a nice little article on the only best female carom player of the 20th century. This lady happens to be Japan's legend, Masako Katsura. Enjoy!

I am going to start getting involved in the snooker scene (even though it is aprox. 150miles from where I am at) and I am looking foward into buying a snooker cue. But, I see that there is such a variety. For instance, American snooker cues have a centered joint while the UK style snooker cues...

Ok, please forgive me if my wording is very aukward (yes, English is my first language and Spanish is my second... and yes... I am Hispanic going for French as my 3rd language and Dutch and German as my intermediate 4th and 5th languages when I head to California next summer. :cool: ) but when I...

To all the AZers reading this, I am in need of some help into finding a cue that a friend is dire obscession of. A while back last year, my friend (also named Rick) owned a priceless posession (or so it pertain to him) Predator 3k5 which he told me was considered retail at aprox. 1 grand. He...

Forgive if I may, but there was a thread or a site that had parts for the electric heat in a foreign website (Dutch I think). Can any of you tell me which website is it?

Asside for having this cup for the rememberance of the great Willie Mosconi, can you tell me (this "young blood") why it is entirely important for the US to win this cup? Is it because there is a bigger cash reward or what? I am quite puzzled that the majority of the players from both teams...

Well, since it is now one hour before hand, I just wanna wish you a happy birthday to you, Mr. Danny Harriman (a.k.a. the one that slammed 6 balls on the break in 7-ball!!) May all your wishes be true!

Ok, I have read throughout the search sections about cue deflection and shafts. I am currently looking for a cue shaft that I would like to put on my Viking only that it is entirely confusing to know what I want. I have read from so many posts that one shaft (Tiger) has a tendancy to deflect...

Landon Shuffet is on the Finals against J. Newman. This young man is on the move after giving it all against 2006 winner of the 14 & under, Austin Murphy, 7-1, sending him to the loser's bracket. On the 19 & U: Our very own AZer, Tanner Pruess, gave a great feat against the tough playing Tyler...

I want to ask yall AZers out there a question that is quite important to me. I have been playing in my local pool hall for about 3 hours minimum and I do get mentally burned out. I used to play for about 5 hours a couple of years ago. What is the most ideal amount of time one should practice for...
