Yeah Jeff our home table is one of the worst ones. When we get down to crunch time I definitely start sweating the break. When we play next week, it will be at your spot so I won't have to worry as much. I have a decent lead on you with only 2 weeks left. Unless I completely nose dive, I...

The VNEA league I play in has several locations where the table and ball conditions are just abysmal. The cloth is filthy and old and almost feels sticky like several drinks have spilled on it. The balls are dirty and all beat up. Trying to rack and break on these tables is a nightmare. You...

I found that rolling lots of BJJ helped in one aspect. If you roll a lot your core will be stronger and have more stamina. So you can get down on shots and be able to hold there and be more stable for longer periods of time. You'll have slightly more balance. This doesn't necessarily...

I stopped using those pocket chalkers because they fall out of my pocket all the time. I lost a couple and I just gave up. I just use what's on the table or bum some from my teammates. My hands sweat really bad and I wore a glove for a while. The problem was I would sweat bad enough to soak...

I watched Jesse play in the IOMA Master's team event in Waterloo, IA about four or five years back. His team was coming from the loser's side and I caught the tail end of the last match on the loser's side before the championship match. I didn't know who he was. I just noticed that he kept...

There is only one legitimate excuse and it's the only one I allow myself to use: I didn't practice enough.

Haggle with him.

Don't know if this has been posted before, but I just came across this video. Pretty amazing. http://www.break.com/index/smart-dog-can-shoot-pool.html

Well this thread made me think of something I haven't thought about in decades: ROY G BIV

Mark, I say stream the event for free but make the whole thing available for download ASAP for a cost. If you stream for free, no one can b1tch if there are technical issues with the stream. I refrain from buying any live streams because I'm always busy doing other things and don't want to be...

This past weekend at the Iowa Valley state tournament I saw a guy break, the cue ball flew over the end rail, bounced off the concrete floor and hit the body of another table and bounce back onto the original table the guy was breaking from just slightly missing the rack. Would have been a hell...

So is this good news or bad news?

I thought about it. The tables were faster than what I am used to and balls seemed to get a huge bounce off the rail and I wasn't comfortable trying to baby the cue ball down only for my object ball to get a huge bounce and leave him a straight in 8 ball shot from 6 inches away. I was thinking...

This past weekend at the IOMA Valley state tournament I finished in the top ten in singles and we finished 9-12th in teams. That is the highest finish in either category in the six years I've been playing league. Coming to this board has been a big help. I've been able to associate with and...

It was a good match. Every game I let you at the table, you won, except for the last one where you scratched. The match with you and the hill/hill match I had with Theo were the toughest ones I had. I enjoyed every match I had in singles. Everyone was cool and respectful and no one acted...

Ah, late to the party as usual. I will crawl back in my hole for a self imposed 6 month ban.

Haven't posted here in a while. I came across this article and had to post this. This looks awesome. I just wonder what type of glove will give me the least amount of deflection. http://dvice.com/archives/2011/01/finally-someone.php

When I met Earl I told him he looked taller on TV and he told me he was 6' tall. I'm 5'10" and he was definitely taller than me by a couple of inches.

Damn, didn't realize you were in town until I read this just now. I was @ league with ChefJeff.... It's obvious that we need some sort of system to notify pool players in this area when events are happening. I wonder if AZ could set up something based on location that you fill out in your...
