In a little 8-ball tournament at the local dive bar tonight, and this guy shows up:

So I randomly came across this video made by a PBIA instructor and BU grad (shoutout @dr_dave) that does a good job showing the differences in play between dirty and what he calls “clean” balls. If you don’t have time to watch the whole video, watch the 3-Rail kick section starting at 3:11...

It was tough for me. Four hours?

This podcast is live-streaming on YouTube today at 3:00 CST. Has definite potential for high-drama. Live stream URL: Backstory: apparently JA air-barreled Oscar $6,500 some time ago, $500 of which is owed to Dominick Dunn, so he's been vocal about it as well. (Apologies if I didn't get that...

Inspired by the Meucci Summer Series Rose cue thread, I’m wondering what other cues are out there that maybe aren’t the most attractive you’ve ever seen. I’ll start by throwing this beauty out, with matching case:

So I recently bought one of these Chinese ball cleaners you see with various brand names on Amazon and eBay. Lots of guys have them. $329, great deal (link). I’ve been using it every few days to clean my like-new Centennials. It does a great job. It has only one 2-cycle action: it spins a...

Update: I was corrected, this isn’t Ronnie O’s cue, but rather his opponent’s, Anthony McGill. Ronnie is still playing wood. This from a recent match. When did he switch to CF? And what’s up with snooker players and their mushroomed tips? Do they not care, or do they see some advantage to it?

Just ran across this on Amazon, looks like it was new there in October. I haven’t seen it before, so maybe it is brand new. Anyway, love the simplicity of it and the apparent ability to shoot the shot with the device in place - although curious how it will hold up to repeated contacts. Probably...

To me, the most important aspect of a “Sneaky Pete” cue is right in the name — it’s “sneaky,” i.e. easily mistaken for a house cue. In its purest form, the only giveaway is the joint line, which is tough to see from a few feet away. And perhaps a pro-tapered shaft, which is only visible to a...

Thought I would start a thread here for those of us who want to watch and chat about the action, or follow the results. I’ll try to keep the match scores updated here in the top post in real time. Give this a Like if you plan to follow closely — and don’t open this thread if you plan to watch...

I haven’t seen this kind of extension before, but it’s pretty cool. Pijus Labutis twists and pulls it out the butt of his playing cue against SVB, looks like it adds 10-12” or so. At timestamp 54:56 here (good match and commentary btw): Custom cuemaker or production cue?

69-yr-old Efren vs a young local goofball who got the crowd involved, the Magician played along, and I’ve never laughed so hard watching a match. No commentary (thankfully): https://www.youtube.com/live/REDYUgSeGzI?si=PkKTF6O8XRP1cSc4
