    Society Billiards in NYC -- taking over Broadway Billiards old space?

    Does anyone know about this new Society Billiards place, that apparently is taking over the old Broadway Billiards space in NYC? There's a placeholder website up now (www.societybilliards.com) as well as a Facebook page that says they're going to have Diamond Pro-Ams, but this is all the...

    A Question for "A" Players and Above - How to play when not in stroke?

    I have a question for A-players and above (A-players, Shortstops, Opens, Pros, Etc.): When you're in the middle of a set and you're just not quite in stroke, how do you find yourself playing the rest of the set? I sort of figure that if you're conscious about not playing your best, there are a...

    Visiting New Orleans! Anyone care to shoot a few?

    I'll be in New Orleans from August 3 - 17. If anyone's in the area (you know who you are!) I'd love to hit a few with some locals. I'm headed down for work, so will only have evening hours and weekends free. I will be working / staying around St. Charles and Canal Street. Anyone up for cheap...

    Hawaii - Big Island Pool Halls

    Hi- I'm going to Hawaii from the 20th - 20th. I'll be on the Kona side of the big island, but will probably make a few trips out to Hilo. Does anyone know of any pool halls on the Big Island? I'll be staying in Captain Cook, so anything near Kailua-Kona would be nice.

    Attention NYC Pool players!

    With the demise of Broadway Billiards, SoHo Billiards has become haven to the B'way orphans. George (Parica) has started organizing weekly 9-ball tournaments on Tuesdays, and I'm trying to spread the word so that people start showing up. There is free practice at 7:00pm. $35 entry fee (green...

    Quitting Smoking and Its Effect On One's Pool Game...

    I'm quitting smoking, and I'm all agitated and fidgety after a few days without the nicotine. Any helpful suggestions from those who have quit, to remain calm and loose? I had a few practice sets with a teammate, and beat him 7-1, 7-2, 7-4. Despite the wins, and a few great break and runs...

    Anyone know when Danny Barouty is at ABC doing cue / shaft work? My tip needs replacing and I need it done by this Sunday. Any ABC kids know his schedule? Alternatively, anyone know someplace other than Masters where I can get this done soon? Many thanks!

    Take two weeks off... then quit. Who said this?

    This is a pretty famous piece of advice for those struggling at pool. I've heard it attributed to different people, but does anyone know the origin of who coined it or said it first? Or who made it famous?

    Amazing from WPC 2007! Reyes vs Kaplan shot!

    I tried searching to see if this was posted, and couldn't find anything. My apologies if it's been discussed already. This may be one of the most unbelievable series of shots on the 8-ball I've seen, certainly at the World Championships. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bu43kJPZr6E

    Digging up an old post: The Hustler, and the Mental Game

    Reposting something that I've needed for a while. Enjoy: Here's a brief excerpt from Walter Tevis's "The Hustler." For any of you with the paperback version by Thunder's Mouth Press, it's pages 89 - 97. These pages are the best in the entire book The Hustler, in my opinion. This hit the nail...

    Another congrads to Tony Robles, for more than just the IPT match

    In case anyone hasn't heard, Tony Robles has won his third consecutive Predator 9-Ball stop. These tournaments have attracted a lot of killers, and for Tony to win 3 in a row is amazing, especially considering that he maintained his level of play while sandwiching a last-minute trip to LA for...

    Iris Ranola wins WPBA Qualifer!

    Just got a txt from Iris Ranola, who today won a WPBA Qualifer for the Carolina Classic. This was a JPNEWT event, at Comet Billiards. Seems like she's on a roll, and determined to be a touring pro. She beat Tiffany Nelson in the finals, but claims she got lucky. Way to go, Iris!

    Iris Ranola can shoot!

    I went to Broadway Billiards last night, and bumped into a pool friend named Noel. His introduced me to his niece, Iris. Iris is a Filipina lady, and Noel wanted us to spar a bit. I had no idea of what her speed was, but my friend Mike had watched her, and tells me she makes mistakes. He was...
