This happens to be my favorite tournament each year. With the recent announcement of the World 8ball in Austria it may have a big impact on field in the 14.1 tournament. I imagine with the huge (75k) money for 1st place possibly as many as 20 top players will bypass the straight pool and go...

I'm beginning to think I need to stay off the internet. Down at the library again, can't pass up the free internet you know. Maybe I'm just unlucky but I keep coming across these little tidbits that cause me to start questioning things I thought I knew about pool. So today's dilemma concerns...

I recently came across this on the internet. First a little background on me. Been playing for about 60 years now, have always considered myself a student of the game and thought I knew quite a bit but this new type of English has me flummoxed. As it was explained, it seems that if you...

Does Diamond still sell the tables at tournaments?

Apparently this is another benefit of CTE. If you don't hit the CB properly the system doesn't work. I was wondering--seeing as I'm having a hard time figuring out CTE--does anyone know of a different aiming system that also corrects stroke issues. I have a bad habit of twisting my wrist on...

There've been many posts here on problems with BS's. Getting stuck, scratching, etc, etc. IMO one big problem is choice of BS. This is often exacerbated by commentators on videos saying it's too low or too high. Too close to the rack, too far away. They might be better served by pointing out...

I contacted my local NBL TD by FB messenger. The following conversation took place. Me: Are there spots left and how do you pay. What are the projected payouts for 1st-8th in the qualifier. TD reply: Yes still spots left. The projected payouts are based off of the side pool. And we are hoping...

Will be traveling from NH To Virginia and want to stop off somewhere along the way for a little practice on 9 foot Diamonds. Preferably somewhere from mid NJ to northern MD. Don't mind going an hour or so off the Rte. 95 corridor. Suggestions appreciated.

I'd ask any of the regulars on here if they'd take a look at this thread https://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=462837 and offer any advice you may have. This was posted a couple years ago by my friend Chris Freeman and got some general help as you'll note in the replies but he's still...

Anybody got a lesson from him? How was it?

As a straight pool lover am extremely sorry to hear Dennis & Bill will no longer be doing the Derby. It's been a great pleasure to watch the numerous videos they've graced us with over the years. For free no less. You guys have my gratitude and I'm sure, that of many others on here who've...

Apparently Nelson passed away yesterday.

The final round of the round robin stage just concluded. The last match was the stream match where Lee Vann Corteza showed great determination and came back to win 100-91 after being down to Nick van den Berg 77-1. This round featured the A players in each group vs the B players. From where I...

I'm new here & am a little depressed about the lack of traffic in the 14.1 category. As a side note when I first discovered the forum I went down the list looking for the "Position Play" section, only to discover there wasn't one. Seeing as how once new players start being able to pocket some...
