Because of health and economic issues, I've had to suspend my active status as a PBIA/ACS Certified Instructor. I hope to return to active status, but am still offering lessons in the meanwhile. Also, my current series of Fifty Game-winning 8- ball Safety Shots is coming to an end in Pool &...

Very cool 1933 Brunswick cue presented to Babe Didrickson Zaharias during an exhibition match against Hall of Famer Ruth McGinnis! No. 262453856577 on Ebay.

When did Adam begin making their Balabushka cues? Were they all stainless joints? Did they all have the GB "signature" on them?

Why are there so many free streams coming from outside the US and so few from within? Could it have anything to do with greed? Why would low-income players pay for streams, especially of dubious quality? Why would people unfamiliar to the game pay to watch it? Do streamers really expect...

I'll be visiting the Eau Claire/Chippewa Falls area in Wisconsin next month. It's been many years since I've been there. Are there any nice places to play pool up there now?

I posted a comment about this in the Main Forum just now. But here's the warning for all instructors... A guy requested $500 dollars worth of lessons for his son, who was supposedly coming to Florida for a month in March. He sent me a check for $2,500, and of course wanted $2000 returned...

In January I got an email from a guy wanting $500 in lessons for his son. I was suspicious all along, but without going into detail, I received a check for $2,500 by Express Mail from Georgia on Wednesday. He emailed me this morning and said the check was sent to me by mistake. The check was...

Watched "The Hustler" late last night for the umpteenth time. Besides lack of any cue ball control by Newman and the silly shots that did not fit in a high power money match (must have been frustrating for Willie), I noticed a couple things that I don't remember noticing before. When Eddie was...

I may be visiting a friend in Colorado in the near future. What are the best pool halls in Colorado?

Here's a game that I came up with recently. It's called "Carom 8-ball". Open break, all balls pocketed on the break are spotted, and the breaker shoots whether balls are made on the break or not. The idea is to score a carom using two balls from your group. The second ball struck by the CB...

I had a dream last night about questions being asked on AZ... "If I'm left eye dominant, and I close my right eye, will I get more spin?" "If I just shoot real fast, I won't have time to make mistakes, right?" "Why is my ferrule turning blue?" "Who makes the best left-handed cues?" "If I...

Nearing the end of my sixtieth year as a player, I think I've earned the right to name my all-time favorite player. Easy. Efren. He is both a genius and a gentleman.

Anyone familiar with Robertson cues?

I fully understand that most men are unable to shake loose the illusion of male superiority, and I'm prepared for the attacks when I address such issues. But watching the incredible improvement of women's play in recent years, especially the Asian women, I'm compelled to pose a question. If...

Had this cue for a year. Like it a lot. Still unable to identify it...

I lost my link to the page that allows me to report my lessons to the PBIA. I tried getting there through the PBIA website, and had no luck. Tried going through playpool.com and was hit with three viruses. Any suggestions?

Why no Queens Cup World Team event on Youtube? I understand that capitalism is the true American religion, but there are lots of folks who can't afford pay per view and deeply appreciate seeing pool on Youtube. Must promoters ignore the average Joe and cater only to those who can afford pay...
