I've had this situation come up a couple times in the last month and I really haven't decided what the best play is. It usually comes up when the opponent is playing safe. The game is 9 ball and you can barely clip the right side of the 8. I've been leaning towards kicking at the 8 hitting...

Can someone post a weitable of the layout of the 1-9 combo that Immomen and Juva deliberated over? Per the AZ article, it was hill hill with China. Thanks in advance.

I was watching this video about this kid who won $150,000 playing a video game and it reminded me of all the other threads about how 'sports' like 'rock, paper, scissors', video game playing, food eating, etc. all have much bigger prizes than pool tournaments. But an interesting twist was...

The thread on teaching speed control reminded of an issue I had on Monday at this tournament. I normally play/practice on fairly slow tables. Well, the first match I had at the tournament happened to be on a very fast table. It took me 3 games into the match before I could adjust to the...

First off, I can't commend Jorge Torres enough about his website. I know there has been at least one other thread about this, but the site is so good, I feel it can't hurt to thank him one more time. (i.e. the editing is superb, leaving out all the unimportant stuff, but leaving in the stuff...

So after yesterday's post about College Billiards being for sale, I drove down there to check it out. That place seems to have changed sooo much. The area looks a little less ghetto than I remember it, but the clientele seems so different. Gone are all the players I remember from 10-15 years...
