    Gold Crown paint codes - all 4 colors

    So, is there a paint code for the Gold Crown V11 White Table? I want to paint my Gold Crown I, but I am not sure I want the old paint codes. I want to paint it white, like this pic. Any advice on how to do that? Is this the original paint code for Gold Crown's do you think?

    John Schmidt runs 820

    Hope this spurs more interest. Is the International Straight Pool going to happen this year?

    Jayson Shaw World Record video

    I am not sure what happened but I personally asked Kristina Tkach a few years ago about if she was going to make attempts and she said she was. Still hoping

    2026 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

    84 Ball Run. I do recommend using a weight for the shaft with rail shots. I think I made two of those because of the weight. I messed up at the end. I did not want to use that ball as a key ball, but didn't see how to avoid it, and then of course I hit it way to tentative. I should have...

    2026 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

    Nothing special here, but best run of 2026 so far. 48. I was in a lot of trouble. It wasn't very clean and not how you should play. I did adapt pretty well.

    Do you want to learn more about your stroke?

    Here is my analysis. I am definitely impressed by how much detail he gives. He confirmed what I already knew being my biggest problem, which is my stroking arm is not straight. Honestly, how far my shaft goes to the left after contact, it is amazing I can make a ball. Laugh. I have tried...

    Rail break shots

    Yes, just looks like a lot of angle. Not easy. Filler considered that as well. I have watched Filler quite a bit and also based on his comment, I believe he would hit pretty firm. I tried recreating this and had good fortune hit that way the 3 times I tried hit pretty firm

    Rail break shots

    Ok, fine, in case anyone wants to actually look at the shot. It is at the 1:34 point. 1 hour 34 minutes. The American turned into the International. Anyway, here you go. This is the actual situation. How do you play this? See screenshot.

    Rail break shots

    I was watching a video of Souquet and Lechner (2021 International) and Josh Filler was giving commentary. Max cut a ball in the corner and went into the side of the pack and he got stuck. Joshua said he would have used draw as that adds follow coming off the rail. Just got me thinking. This...

    2025 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

    Not bad. I like that you don't try to kill break balls. You should get 50 soon. Took me about a month once I picked up the game again. From what I could see, 5 ball seemed a mistake as a break ball. Shot a better break ball earlier. 9 led good to 5 but high break ball and shooting on the...

    2025 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

    53 Ball Run yesterday. I really misjudged that last shot I made and almost scratched. I guess I didn't hit low enough? I intentionally didn't draw, but thought the carom would take it to the side rail.

    150 BALLS RUN Irving Crane vs Joseph Balsis 1966

    This shot really doesn't look that hard and not hard to find I would say for people who have played enough straight pool. I will say it is very cool when I make a shot back to the corner I am standing in, by some chain reaction, or kick combination. I have a shot like this I made in one of my...

    2025 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

    73 Ball Run. Working on being smoother in my final backswing. For me at least, that leads to stopping or pausing at least on the backswing, so my eyes can go back to the object ball. How do you think I am doing? My fundamentals have never been great, but trying to work on what I think I can...

    2025 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

    Nothing special here. Just a 43 ball run, but I did it after the leather pockets were installed, so that is different. I like it. Much smoother. Hangs over, but more importantly the cue glides over the pocket. Made my shots using the pocket as a bridge.
