Maybe someone has more insight on this topic than I do. I understand that if a tournament is being held in a pre-existing establishment, there aren't a lot of options as far as which what size tables will be used. However, does anyone know what's up with all of these professional tournaments...

Maybe I'm an oddball, but I don't really have the need for multiple shaft slots in comparison to butt slots. I get the idea and I'm sure that 3x6s, 3x5s, 2x4s, etc. work well for other players. But I would think that there have to be others out there like me that prefer the 1 shaft to 1 butt...

Did anyone else notice how much the shorter of the two gentlemen from Korea was shaking when he was shooting today during the World Cup of Pool? Initially I thought that it might be nerves, but I also noticed that he did it when he broke as well. You can see that he does it when he breaks at...

I just wanted to remind everyone that there are only 2 weeks to go until the World Cup of Pool (September 22-27). ESPN3 will be streaming the event, which means as long as you have access to ESPN3, you can watch the events live or on demand for up to 30 days afterwards. If you don't have...

That Josh Roberts is playing with?

I play APA in Tampa, FL and a lot of the league members are unhappy with the current LO. The LO is older and probably doesn't have the energy to run the league as well as it could be ran, so she is deciding to sell it. I actually offered to buy it about 2 years ago, buy she wasn't interested in...

Women's World 9-ball Championship is scheduled to be aired on ESPN2 on August 8th from 5-7pm EDT.

This isn't intended to turn into a battle of the sexes, but after watching a few 2015 USBTC 9 ball matches on YouTube and seeing players utilize the soft break technique I thought that this would be the perfect event for women to compete with men on a level playing field. - The break shouldn't...

I haven't recorded a break and run video in a while (about 8 months). Today I thought I'd began recording them again. However, I plan on editing out the dead time between shots from now on. Please take a look at my latest video and tell me what you think about the edits (you can also critique...

I know that placing coins under the rails and moving them to the next diamond to keep track of games is a popular way to keep score when bead counters or built in table counters aren't available. However, I dislike seeing coins lodged between the table bed and rails and often the coins are a...

I was playing in a match and my opponent was shooting. The object ball he was shooting at was frozen to the rail. Once he shot, the cue ball made contact with the object ball that was frozen to the rail, then the cue ball hit the rail that the object ball was frozen to, then the cue ball came...

I'm sitting at home with a few hours of free time and was seriously contemplating streaming the 9-Ball movie. It's only a few bucks to stream, but I don't want to waste the time or the money on some really bad acting filmed with a camcorder. Can anyone who has seen it give me an honest review...

Had this discussion with my team captain and co-captain a few weeks ago. My team's captain complained about the other team forfeiting a set because she said that she didn't want to get stuck with paying for the forfeited set on her own. She said that her previous teams stuck her with paying...

For those of you that have been on teams that finished the session at the top of the division, how do you all distribute the prize money that team gets at the end of the session? This question may be more specific to APA, but it may be relevant to other leagues as well. Many years ago I was on...

Step 1. Take an empty container of Crystal Light and tear off the plastic (or you can leave the plastic on). Step 2. Get a pair of Magic Rack style racks. Step 3. Insert the racks into the Crystal Light container (be careful not to fold any creases in the racks). Step 4. Stick your 2...

I'm sure it has probably been posted here before, but I just came across it and thought that I'd share. I have even more respect for Mark Wilson after watching this interview. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DYZ_NVpeXc

I was watching a video on YouTube and someone (I believe it was Joe Rogan) said that there was a video on YouTube of Efren practicing where Efren dumps 2 racks of balls onto a table and then runs them out numerically (1-1, 2-2, 3-3, etc.). I can't find the 2 rack run video for the life of me...

This is a semi-rant, but I'm watching Fox Sports Florida and they are airing the 2014 World Championship of Darts. The total prize money for the event is 1.5 million dollars. What makes darts (or poker for that matter) that much more exciting to watch to the masses than pool?

With the start of World Cup of Pool (WCoP) only a week away and being that WCoP teams have been announced. What teams do you predict will make it to the semi-final, final, and win the event? Europe (17) Austria - Albin Ouschan & Mario He Croatia - Ivica Putnik & Karlo Dalmatin Czech Republic -...

8 Ball is my favorite pool discipline. When I'm not playing it, I like to peruse YouTube for matches. I find it interesting to see patterns played that I would have played differently. While I was search YouTube, I came across the following match. This is a great match between 2 players that...
