    New York & Washington in October

    Not much going on tournament-wise in DC that I know of. I haven't played serious one pocket in years, sadly. But I'd be happy to have a reason to start hitting again. I could meet you in DC at Bedrock Billiards or we could go not that far out to Street Light Billiards. The latter has the more...

    Is Schmidt's and charlie 626 Legit

    I've seen most or all of that bitter history and, to be fair, I think both of you would step up and do just that. . . . Even without the fire!

    Rasson vs Diamond Tables

    I love my Diamond and I'm not replacing it, but the Rasson certainly looks cool. My one complaint is the ball scuffing from the pockets, which has been an issue with Diamonds for a long time. Makes me wonder about Rasson's claim that its pockets reduce scuffing. Also, do Rassons have a ball...

    Some years back, my kids really wanted to stay up late on Christmas Eve, hide out, and trap Santa. I guess this is what happens when they grow up!

    47th Annual TX Open-Strong Field. Who do you guys like ?

    That is 100% the Austin Cue Club. What a flashback! Just 2 weeks ago I was trying to remember the name of that place.

    Danny Green, RIP

    I think I was there when that happened. Danny was very respected (loose translation: feared as a player and a good guy) and well-regarded in the DC area. Sad to hear this, RIP.

    Barack Obama greatest presidential pool player...

    There's a video of that same event. Looks like a good APA 4. He did spend well over a decade in Chicago so he may have some extra banking and one pocket skills.

    Jogger's heel / plantar fasciitis and pool

    Lot's of good options here. I had it pretty bad a few years back and bought some Kuru shoes. Pretty ugly, but the pain was gone within 6 weeks. Then I stopped wearing them and the pain stayed gone! Well, it came back a little bit after about 3 years. A few weeks in the Kurus and it was gone...

    This shows why RickLafayette's post above gives short shrift to Florida. CA and TX can try but they cannot match the power of Florida Man!

    APA charging twice?

    Season is 12 weeks of play, dues are $10 each or $50/week. Total = $600. 8 players pay $600/8 = $75 each at the start of the season. Captain takes the $600 and then pays $50 each week, irrespective of forfeits and double-plays. The less-often-show people subsidize the every-weekers. If your...

    APA charging twice?

    If you didn't pay, the captain would have to pay. At least you played. In normal times, the team also has to pay when there's a forfeit, too but I heard that's suspended. I had a team at one point that gave the captain all the dues for the season up front (have to trust your captain) and he...

    DCC and Fargorate

    Seems like AZB's own AtLarge has an incredible ability to track and record matches. Maybe Diamond should consult with him!

    Works perfectly if the only use is a workbench and pool table!

    Mezz Ignite CF Shaft Review

    I just got one as well. Never had a low deflection shaft before -- hit with a Predator a few times in the 1990s and hated it. Stuck with regular maple ever since. As for the Ignite, so far I like it. I like the narrow diameter and smoothness, and I do feel like I get more action on certain...

    Is Schmidt's and charlie 626 Legit

    Well, I was going to pitch in as well but it looks like you're covered. I'll save my $50 for the admission to the Jewett Tour in which you travel the country to describe in words The Run.
