Break with any standard break for 1P and make an honest effort to make a good break. 2. Take ball in hand and...

    We lost a great one today

    We lost an icon in our pool community today in Frank Tullos. He passed away at the age of 73. He made a lasting memory for so many who knew him. I know that I will miss him every day.

    Looking for some old "players" names

    I have a friend, an accomplished player, who has played quite a few players over the years and many of them black. He only knows them by their "playing" names and he is looking for some help with identifying them with their real names. If anyone could help with some names it would be greatly...

    Thrift Store Find / Cue ID Please

    I, too, came across one of these a while back. Forum consensus was it was a knockoff from China. I put a new wrap on it and put it on the wall for the kids to play with it.Mine looks exactly like yours.

    playing with inside

    I was told by a very knowledgeable and accomplished player that most right handed players have a swiping to the right motion at the end of their strokes. Check yourself and see what your tip does at the end of your stroke. This follows the "comfort zone" of bottom right for right handed players.

    Dave Faver

    It really saddens me to hear this about Dave. I ran a pool room for 24 years and during this time he came through town a few times. I played him cheap 9 ball and One Pocket when he came through. I took no spot, knowing that I had no chance. I was doing it to learn, just as he says was his...

    Jayson Shaw victim or defeated foe

    If players are not having to "declare" an obvious shot, then even if he did say the 2 ball, it's no different than if a player bends over to shoot an obvious shot but then turns and shoots at a "different", but better obvious ball. The first "look" was negated........Shaw needs to get over it.

    MR TUGWELL Playing pool with both hands.

    We have a regular in our room known as Taxi Danny. He's in his mid eighties now, but in his day, when he drove a cab in Detroit, he was a heck of a right handed player. He was even featured on the front cover of the Detroit News, a billiard publication I think, that was about him and several...
