New personal best high run 137.

At the 2000 14.1 US Open Efren plays a bank shot in the side pocket, cue ball three rails up and down table to open the rack from behind. Billy Incardona is commentating and he says, "Take my watch". I have found a very grainy Youtube video of just that shot. I am looking for the entire match...

Anyone have a Brunswick Gold Crown hiding in storage in the Denver, Colorado area? I'll probably replace the cloth and rails so condition is not important as long as the rest is solid. What do you got?

Best on video this year, 93 balls. So close to the magic uno-ought-ought! https://youtu.be/TK6D0s_Eyak

Easier on a bar table. Like other games, congestion on a 7-footer is the difficulty. Another is likelyhood of scratching on break shots. On the easier side of the ledger is easier/shorter shots, upper pockets used way more often, more break ball locations, combos/caroms easier. On his recent...

Haven't posted often but with semi-retirement will be spending much more time on Straight Pool! High run this year is 99 during SP league but not on video. Best on video this year was this 84 ball run during practice. https://youtu.be/HywQpSS8So8

Colfax Billiards, Denver The classic old-style pool hall with two rows of Gold Crowns and nothing else. Just pool, mister. Just off the corner of Colfax and Sheridan, open 24 hours.

Hoping to find someone looking for a pool table project. I have a "Popular" model Brunswick 9-footer - Rosewood sides with Maple marquetry. I believe it was made about 1895. The table is solid and playable right now with no damage. The rosewood veneer needs lots of work but the maple...

Just want to share: I moved to Denver in 1983 and was just learning to play. I went to a tournament at Sheridan Billiards and saw a young Danny Medina literally mow down the entire field. All eyes in the room were on him every shot and mine were big as basketballs. Like so many in Denver, we...

All three cues are sold. Thanks.

July 20 update: The Mark Moore and the Huebler are sold. Meucci is still available. First good offer is gonna get it.

And, I don't know about you guys, but if I pay that much for a pool table, I would want it displayed all the time. Would never consider putting a (heavy) top on it and eating dinner. Ridiculous!

These cues spent 40 years in someone's basement (along with a Brunswick Celebrity pool table). Do they have any value as collector's items or for blanks? Or should I use them as legs for a custom pool-themed coffee table? ;-) Bob Keller

All of the tapes are gone. And in just one day! I had no idea there would be that much interest. Thanks for all the offers. You guys are all the coolest. AZ rocks!! Bob Keller

Since VHS is deader than dead is there any value in old VHS Accu-Stats tapes? Maybe somebody who converts them to digital? I know these tapes all work, I just haven't watched them in ages. One of them has Efren's Z-shot - "The shot heard round the world." On another one Reyes runs something...

I've been concerned but have never had any trouble. While there is a top player (normal height) from around here who quit pool due to a bad back. I think it's not the same as a golfer, for example, because we don't move our entire body while in that position, and our bridge hand helps support...
