With his US open 9 ball title, his list of regional tournament wins and now this I think he has earned hall of fame consideration.

Can’t wait to be told how this run is invalid. It’s going to happen.

Played in a bar in Lafayette from 6 pm till 2 am the next morning. Never lost a game walked out with a bunch of 10s and 20s. Towards the end of the night a hotty got up on the table and started dancing. I looked over at the bar tender to see if he was going to make her get off the table. He...

I don’t know much about the cue market but I do know that generational tastes have a lot to do with it. Currently 10000 baby boomers die everyday in America and that number is set to grow larger. This is causing the largest transfer of assets in world history. A great many things other than cues...

Bonus ball is least popular.

This has been the best post so far.

I’ve been on the forum for 22 or so years and this topic has been talked about since then. I don’t think a solution to market the existing games to the masses will be found if it hasn’t happened by now. I do think UPL has the most promising alterations even more so than match room. Another post...

A quick fix for pool is to eliminate the one extension per rack. In other words 30 seconds to shoot on every shot. I also think slowing the cloth down would make it more interesting.

Recently played on a New Brunswick bar box. It was great.

I didn’t give up on the youth as much as I gave up on all the structural nonsense surrounding the youth that fosters antisocial behavior. The problem with youth is all the fine print that will take a good program and completely ruin it.

Portable tables are the only real answer. Problem is when I looked in to them they are mostly sold in Australia without a North American supplier. Purist would scoff at the idea of a portable table but you would have to be willing to go this route if you want it to happen on a campus.

It wasn’t a single event. I was a teacher for 22 years and it was a slow year over year erosion of an environment that allowed me to do my job and maintain a productive structure. It’s not a good time in our culture to work with youth in any capacity.

Not only did I give up on expanding pool for juniors I gave up on teaching/coaching completely. Moved on to other endeavors. No more youth involvement for me.

The big obstacle to pool tables in schools is the student to table ratio and the amount of space tables take up. If a high number of kids can’t be engaged concurrently it will not happen.

My straight pool high run of 76. Beat the ghost 9 to 0 recently. Won dozens of weekly tournaments. Yeah I play pool.

Yes

The highest run I have ever watched in person is 38. Straight pool isn’t popular in my neck of the woods.

I think this is great news. Gives me a chance to sweat the open for the first time. Not sure how the weather is relevant, the AC will be blasting. They put the rangers in an indoor stadium to keep the fans cool. Plenty of good eating. Also if you have to gamble it’s legal to bet on just about...

I haven’t been able to find a player list for the event at skinny bobs this coming weekend. Anybody know of any top players planning to attend? Thanks….
