Who put on the Louisiana Shootout? Production value looked top shelf. Curious that something that nice happened in Shreveport.

A friend of mine asked me if anyone has ever tried to set a record for distance on jumping the cue ball. The practical barriers to this are obvious but I’m still curious as to how far a cue ball could be launched off the table.

Been watching John Schmidt run balls and it made me think: I believe there are several players that could run a 1000 balls in straight pool if enough of a financial incentive existed for them to do it. Has there ever been a discussion of sponsors putting up a prize fund where players would pay a...

Who would you rate as the greatest racker of all time? Also who would be in your top 5? What I mean is who was/is the best at racking to maximize their chances at making balls on the break or to keep their opponent from making any balls? Who has been the best at working around rules designed to...

I have been hearing that simonis is hard to come by and when you do get it it’s not what it was. What is the next best option to 860 hr?

I heard Tony Chohan is at buffalos playing anyone to try to gear up. Any updates on how it’s going for him?

I have been away from the game for two years. Since I have been paying attention again I still find the 9 ball game as being broken. So I have two questions: 1. Why hasn't 15 ball rotation ever been tried as the pro game? 2. With 9 ball why not add a rule where the shooter has to bank every...

I was watching Earl and Corey play Russian pyramids this morning and it got me to thinking is there any city in North America where this game is present? Are there any tables in the Houston Texas area? Is the Finnish variation of pyramids played anywhere?

Over the years I have reposted this thread. I have one friend that I have been shooting off and on with for 14 years as a result of making this inquiry another for 3 years. Just looking to meet anyone who lives in the southeast region of Houston Texas around the i45 corridor (Pearland, Webster...

I apologize in advance if this topic has been done to death already. I have been away from the game for a couple of years and fell out of touch with current events. I heard that there are apps now where you can arrange matches that report back to Fargo. On the surface this sounds like a good...

Everyone here has heard the stories of players staying up for days in money matches. For the most part those matches were chemically fueled. The question I have is who was the best at playing multiple days on the natural? Grady Matthews maintained that this title belonged to him. He said he was...

Recently a friend of mine was invited to a pool club in Lufkin Texas. They have 4 diamond bar tables and a 9 foot table. They maintain the club by charging a monthly membership and from the looks of the picture they have a vending machine. My friends experience with it was so good that he is...

I was playing in a tournament a few weeks ago and struck up a conversation with a couple of guys while I was waiting for my first match. As we were trading stories they both told me about a player who was known for getting a running start and hitting the cue ball on the break. They claimed he...

Looking for a used and/or worn out hard case of any configuration. Looking to give 30 to 40 dollars shipped for it. PM me if you have something.

I am looking to buy the internal parts of a 2x2. I will take any hard case no matter the condition of the exterior. It can be old or new. I am looking to give around 30 to 40 dollars for it shipped. I made a nice 3x5 last month and am looking to make a 2x2. PM me if you have something...

Looking for a good break cue in teh 150-250 price range. PM me with what you have.

This thread is not intended to cast shade on anyone or disparage any player past or present. With the break being the most important shot in most games and the rack being critical to the outcome of the break I consider knowledge of racking and how to address the break as a legitimate skill. With...

I need a destroyed 3x5 or 3x4 hard case that has serious damage to the outer part but intact internal parts. I want to buy it at a bargain. Thanks, Marcus

Rooms are closing down all over but I am here to tell you a new room has opened and it is the truth. If ever you are in the area of Angleton Texas make time to drop in at Damifino Billiards. To quote the room owner they are a pool hall first and then a bar. They have excellent equipment (10 7...

I am interested in making my own case. Does anyone sale case components? More specifically does anyone sale the tubes for the butts and shafts?
