Looks great. I want to do the same with my attached 2-car. Did you have to level the floor? Most garage floors have a slight pitch for drainage. It’s code down here in sunny south Florida. My 9’ Gold Crown currently sits beautifully smack in the middle of our living room with no...

14:1 a fantastic game. Teaches us so much the books and vids don't. Recommend it to all. But no jump cues (whether you are a fan of them or not) and it IS part of today's game. Also seems very few bank shots which are also part of the game. Many people think it's also a slow ball-bunting...

10 ball IS my game. Why? Because I truly believe playing rotation games forces you to be a better player. One main reason: Cue ball control. Let's face it, though 8 ball can and sometimes be difficult (eg clusters, traffic, etc,), it can also be "anybody's game"...

My dad unfortunately passed a few years ago at 97. Great father figure, husband, spiritual, athlete, Korean War vet, yada yada. He was still winning money at 95 and taking it from the 70/80-somethings on tourney night at his community clubhouse. Room had 6 level Gold Crown 9' tables too with...

My #1: Having to constantly remind your opponent that it's their shot. Whether it be because they are scrolling on their phone, talking to a buddy, getting yet ANOTHER beer, or taking a "quick vape or weed break." I don't care. Get your head in the game. KEEP your head in the game. Or get...

Key points: 1) Be flexible. You can be a hulk but still able to do the splits and bend over forward with both palms on the floor. The guys you see wearing their tight middle-school sized tee-shirts and walking like they have a bad rash under both armpits are simply put: pathetic. Their...

For starters, I would try to arrange an agreement whereas I tell the guy to allow ME to make the shot. If I pocket it, I'm good. But if I miss, the agreement will state I will then shoot myself, right in front of him. And then IF I do manage to miss, I would pick up the gun, acting rather...

Sort of like airline bad etiquette. Imagine 3-seat config on each side of the aisle. Aisle person has an aisle armrest AND an aisle to stretch a leg. Window person has a window armrest AND a window to lean against. Middle victim should have both armrests or at least share. Had a flight...

Isn’t he from Taiwan?

Denver boy here. Wow. Danny Medina. What a star. What a talent. And a good dude too. I was young and used to just watch him. I learned a lot about speed control and position from him. If alive today, I’d put him in nearly any mix. RIP

Played Earl Strickland in FL a few years back and he sprayed and wiped the table for about 45 min. Had a microfiber towel and I wasn't exactly sure what was in his secret little spray bottle. Said to me it was because of the humidity. Cloth did play faster when he finished and he went 3-1 on...

Johan Ruysink. What a brilliant human being. If only he were my next door neighbor. If only. I'd dig a tunnel to his training room while he was sleeping.

Agree somewhat with you about the "fear factor." Probably a few testosterone-loaded dudes out there right now saying "I can take this guy." But Albin is a pretty special talent. Calculated, smart and smooth. A tactician's tactician. And if / when this guy gets into a groove, he will...

To all: Hot tip from a soFla guy here (yeah, me). Players HAVE to stay at the Caribe, per WNT. But if you're just sitting on your ass, like I did at last year’s Mosconi, look up the Buena Vista Suites. Its the hotel directly next door and a 5 min walk to the event. Free parking too. (But...

Wow, Danny Medina. That’s a name one doesn’t hear often. Played with him when growing up in Denver years ago. He was older than me and the one thing I remember most is that he was such a good dude. Oh, and a PHENOMENAL player too. Better not leave out that little detail.

Yet ANOTHER great article by Dr. Dave. Thank you for giving all of us a different lens to look through, and the perspective. Well, first, in no way shape or form am I trying to insult anyone who chooses to alter their body to become someone or something else. Everyone (except juveniles)...

Played a few Pred's recently in a FL tourney. Pred cloth. To me it played like 860. Not bad, but know I'm only on the cloth-side of the table. As for the table itself: Personally, I would get and VALUE the opinion of any reputable table mechanic. They know the truth. (Before buying a...

In 19 years, there have also been other "nice" things put out. With even more technology too and exotic wood that's been dried just as long. And for less money and half of the wait time. But agree, SW is one great cue and cue-maker. But so is Dennis Searing. So is Ernie Martinez. And the...

No need to get butt-sore. If you actually took the time to READ my reply, you'd have noticed I was not knocking SW. Only the wait time of two complete generations. And again, if that's your thing, fine. All the best to you.

19 years just to get a cue? No doubt they are nice, as shown in the photos, and probably hit well too. But 19 years??? C'mon. I've built two custom homes in 19 years! Imagine if one worked on their stroke for 19 years? They should be able to pick up a $39 Mizerak off Amazon and shoot...
