Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe there was a TAR podcast with Earl and Shane in which Earl stated that he had lost his ability to consistently hit the 1 ball square as he aged.

Attention all AZ members currently in Las Vegas- I have for sale a brand new, unchalked 2014 Southwest Satin cue. Beautifully figured maple. 19.5 ounces. 13 mm. Price is $1,600.00. If you or someone you know is currently in Las Vegas and interested in purchasing this cue please inquire via...

You see it fairly often in short race barbox 9-ball tournies. It's easy to get lucky and even the bangers can step it up and run out on a barbox.

Thank you to everyone for the replies. From what I gather it seems the only real options are: 1. Use a reputable escrow service. 2. Deal only with reputable buyers & sellers. 3. Take a leap of faith. I suppose escrow would be the safest, most reassuring option for both parties, so long as...

Yes, that is helpful. I was unfamiliar with itrader, thank you for your reply.

I recently came upon some valuable cues that I would like to post for sale here on AZ. After reading all the threads on deals gone bad, and having no experience in private online transactions myself, I was hoping to get some advice from those of you who know more than I. Mainly what I'd like to...

If possible maybe you should get a table for your home. Any table. Maybe they'd enjoy it more if it was more accessible and they didn't have to be in a pool hall to play it. The atmosphere isn't for everyone.

I'm cutting it in the corner. The way I'm looking at it, cutting it in the side is just begging to crash into something, shoot over something, or wind up behind something. The 8 and 9 are just too big. I don't like the bank, especially with the 5 there, because I usually won't hit the 6 quite...

Currently the player list shows 100+ players, with Corey having a competition break of 68 and practice break of 128. I'm not sure why the other list is abbreviated, perhaps the player list shows overall career highs? I don't know.

I don't see Corey's name on the list. Were there more than 84 players in attendance? Edit: Nevermind, I found the information.

This gives a slightly skewed view of the match. You failed to mention that Earl berated Karl the entire time, essentially telling him that he played like **** in every way he could imagine. Although if you were watching it live, you may not have been able to hear Earl's diatribe.

The problem with the USA Mosconi Cup team is that our players are no longer of the same standard as the Europeans. We've been surpassed, plain and simple, and when you look at the current state of pool in the United States there's no reason to think we're going to catch up any time soon. We can...

Well, there you go again, immediately. I enjoy a snooty sarcasm as much as the next person but good grief man, ease up. As did I. Thank you, "we" appreciate your sympathies.

As someone who is both an American born pool player and a massive fan of snooker, I tend to disagree with your sweeping generalization. I've never been given this impression by any pool players in the States. Obviously most American pool players would love to see pool achieve the same success...

Geez, what's a guy gotta do to be considered the best around here? Apparently they have to win every tournament, dominate every player on the planet in gambling matches and exhibitions, all while playing any game to any number under any conditions in any format on any sized table, in every town...

The most expensive one, obviously.

My dad could beat up your dad. :rolleyes:

Wet N' Wild, it's a water park that just opened.

"BS drama and pool. Do they go hand in hand?" Not necessarily, but they're certainly not mutually exclusive. Some people might blame it on league pool, but it's no different among the guys playing tournaments or matching up at the pool room. Sometimes as the stakes get higher it gets even...
