    World Darts Championship.....................

    I’ve been watching this for 25 years. It’s a Christmas tradition at our house. We love it. I don’t even play darts anymore but I still watch. This brings up a thought though. Same guys running PDC and WNT. Been 25 years of them growing the game of dats. Unquestionable, Darts has grown...

    Billy Incardona Interview Released in Full

    I have been listening. I really like your podcasts and have listen to all the episodes. I love learning the history of the game. The players stories and perspectives are a nice conduit for learning. My only complaint is that you didn’t start this years ago. We missed out on some good...

    Pool Ball Collecting.

    Appreciate the info! I was considering buying but if they have no purpose other than collecting… I am not sure I am interested. If I purchase a set I prefer they have a purpose on the table. I am new collecting. I have 5 sets so I am not even sure I qualify as collector, yet. At the moment...

    5x10

    I figured I would give time for comments before following up. No conclusions on my part yet but I think I am leaning towards a 9. Some of the addressed concerns are the same concerns causing my hesitation.I mostly play straight pool when I practice. I thought the 5x10 might be cool. Rarely...

    Wood vs carbon fiber shafts for top pros - I went through the Fargo top 100 to see who uses what

    I wasn’t dunking on CF shafts. I’m not saying they are better or worse. I bought a cf shafts. I like them. I also like wood. I think I prefer the look and the sound of wood. I like the feel of carbon. But my game isn’t good enough to notice the difference in results on the table. Im not...

    Wood vs carbon fiber shafts for top pros - I went through the Fargo top 100 to see who uses what

    I bet it’s cheaper to build carbon shafts than produce wood shafts thus raising the margins for cue manufactures. Could have something to do with something. You can find blanks for $35 on facebook. I am sure purchasing in bulk will yield a lower cost still. Fill it with foam, put a joint on...

    (Un)Popular Opinion on Fargo Rate

    I think Fargo could be improved to be more like golf handicapping. I will try to explain. Just stick with me as it requires some tangent to talk about difference in how a golf handicap is derived vs a Fargo rating. I dont want to get far into the weeds on calculating USGA handicaps. For...

    Hey folks, I am trying to track down some history regarding Ike’s Billiards. Best I can tell this was in Corry PA but it may have been in Erie PA. Owner would have been Ike Brewer. A few google searches turned up a few honorable mentions in some obituaries. Any information or photo’s about...
