9 foot custom Olhousen. Used, but not like I'll use it. Wanted a Gold Crown or Diamond, but like Olhausens too. Bought a Leisure Bay that after 5 years sagged like a dirty diaper. Couldn't slow roll a rail shot; started to roll towards the center. Drove me nuts; snapped a few sticks. Gave...

Buying a pool table again. Had a table since I was 6. Heavily used old, presswood slate crap table whose legs fell off and thus rested on two saw horses. Really enjoyed playing on that crappy thing trying to make shots that I read it Bob Byrnes book. Always enjoyed playing at home; form of...

In a local double elimination tourney, a friend of mine went undefeated and was getting close to winning the winners bracket. The guy that my friend plays is notorius for riding the nine, slopping balls in etc. I'll call him Greg. My friend beats Greg pretty soundly. As it turns out the...

massey's live shows I saw Massey do a live exhibition many years ago and it was incredible. He barely took any time to set the balls up and barely needed a second try on any of them. His finger pool was the most amazing thing I'd ever seen. Barely missed any shots on tables that were old and...

yawn... You think this guy can beat Massey because of shots he did on a A 6 x 3 table?!? You've got to be kidding me. That's like me saying I can out-dunk Jordan on a 6 foot Nerf hoop or beat Lance Armstrong in a big wheel race.

short of stature doesn't mean anything Muscles has nothing to do with break shot power. I witnessed a break contest where Corey and some other notables lost to a girl who doesn't weigh 100 lbs soaking wet. She beaks like Bustamante; lifts the cue to almost 45° and hammers the balls. Brandy...

I saw an advertisement on caromtv for an artistic exhibition/competitition that shows Rojas making "the greatest billiard shot ever". Sick. Here is how it's descibed on the WEI table. If you are a diehard pool player and are not familiar with the stuff these guys can do, check out caromtv.com...

top this.... I design products for the Church of Scientology. NOT KIDDING. My own wife didn't believe me initially, don't expect you to either. Not a scientologist, can't twirl a Balabushka like Tom Cruise yet and don't possess his "dynamite break". Pays the bills.

why the last 3 I would think that players of that caliber would have no problem running the last 3 balls. The earlier ones would be alot harder. I wouldn't think the last 3 would make much difference at all.

I was just wondering how everybody compared a 100 ball run in straight pool to say, bowling a 300 , shooting a round of par golf, running a marathon, or any other sports milestones/achievements you can think of. RC "Great show as always"

the first time I played with Corey was when all of the tables were full and he walked in. He walked up and asked us asked us if we would mind if he could shoot with us. He just wanted to log some practice time. He played two on one one pocket, winner stays nine ball and some straight pool...

Nice try. If you think Corey is arrogant, you've never met him. I've played with him several times and he's always willing to give advice, tips, etc. I know players with half his talent that are twice as arrogant.

your golf analogy doesn't hold water Uhhh, cloth doesn't grow back as well as grass, perhaps. Even if you don't touch the cloth with your cue it mars the cloth.

The Tony Watson thread really upset me. Is this really what mens pool has come to??? No wonder golf gets all of that TV time. You don't hear stories of Phil Mickelson stealing Tiger Woods Buick and going to the local pawn shop and hawking Vijay Singh's 4 iron. Sounds like the guy needed a...

There is no name recognition in the game of pool anymore. The "championships" are played on loose equipment, in a short race in a game (9-ball) that levels the playing field to where just about anybody can win. No repeat championships= no interest from the non-playing public. Hell, I even...

The true nits are the pros who show up weekly only when they know they will be the only pro there. Or they show up when the B and C players have driven the break and run up. People stop showing and the tournament dies.

I just heard the announcers call Earl colorful. Maybe because this guy is nothing but a red-ass. He is definitely the Mike Tyson of pool. Washed up, a basket case who lets their own mental shortcomings short-change their once tremendous talent. Take a handful of Xanax, you douche-bag. You...

turn your firewall off

another one I saw a trailer for the movie "Mosconi" about a year ago. Dont know if it ever came out.
