    Kamui Tips

    I think the Kamui tip is way overrated. I have been using them at my room for about 5 years and this year, they get too hard too fast no matter what the hardness scale states. They are also peeling back way too fast IMO and I going to stop purchasing them and not recommending them to my players...

    APA NATIONALS

    I just returned from the APA Nationals in a Masters Team. I have some observations about the Mini Mania program at Nationals. You have to spend way too much time standing in line waiting to either sign up or get a forfeited spot. I'm talking hours here. It is a huge money maker for APA and they...

    Earl Strickland

    Paying to watch Earl play is getting old. We have got to find better matches to watch on Pay Per View than Earl. He WAS a great player but those days are behind him. His antics are getting worse and his skill level is greatly diminished.

    Billy Incardona Wins Senior One Pocket

    It was my pleasure (although not at the time) to lose in the final match to Billy Incardona in the Seniors One Pocket event at Bogies Billiards in Houston this past weekend. We had 24 players for the $2,000 added event. It was an epic match and Billy played fantastic. It is no small...

    2016 bar table championships

    I have gone to the CSI Website and have not found any dates for the Bar Table Championships? The only information posted is TBA. It seems to be getting a little late not to have that information out there. Maybe this event is not going to happen? It's one of my favorites.

    Old Guys At DCC

    I went to DCC and spent 5 nights playing only the One Pocket. I got to the 6th round and I had a good shot to move on further. There were several old guys like myself at DCC and it is becoming painfully clear that the older you get the tougher it is to play consistently well. I love to play pool...
