I bought a McDermott D-19 yesterday and I'm trying to decide if I want to refinish it or not. The wrap is dirty and the finish has chips and dents. The cue itself is in good condition, just cosmetic damage. What do you guys think? Will it ruin or improve collector value if refinished? [/url]D19...

I can't wait for this years action. I am really proud of Team USA this year and I can't wait to see how they preform. Europe will obviously put up a great fight and I think we are in for a treat. Best of luck to both teams, I wish I could be there to watch it in person. I think the guy to...

I spent the day at Lindenwood University with Mark Wilson, Justin Bergman and Jeanette Lee. They were gracious enough to take on all comers and spent some time talking with us and signing autographs. I got to play Jeanette and Justin but I wasn't much competition for either. I broke dry against...

I've been taking a break from pool and AZB for awhile now to take care of some health issues and family issues, but things have been looking up lately. My back is feeling a bit better. My brother in laws cancer is in remission :smile::smile::smile: (Suck it cancer) And this weekend I will be...

Hows everybody doing? To those of you who've sent pm's everything's ok. I just had to take a break for awhile to help out my brother in law who has lymphoma. I hope everyone here has been doing well, i see the conversations haven't changed much! I hear burton and justice kissed and made up and...

So I got back from the doctors visit today and had some bad news. He wants me to have my lower back fused, lumbar region, L5 L4 and possibly L3. He tells me I have severe arthritis and there is excess pressure being put on my spinal cord. I am going to seek a 2nd opinion and I don't want to...

I was able to attend the Durbin Cup match at Lindenwood University this weekend. Mike Durbins team consisted of some really great players including Liz Lovely, Joey Gray and Hall Of Famer Nick Varner. Several of the matches are available on you tube thanks to the great streaming by Big Truck...

Here is a bracket that Oscar Dominguez put on FB. I think it's the 10 ball. For the first round I am going with Ralf Souquet Robb Saez Effren Reyes Neils Feijen SVB John Morra Earl Stickland Darren Appleton

Mark Wilson was kind enough to show me his Lindenwood Lions Billiards Arena that the college has set up for their team. It has 4 brand new 9 foot Diamond tables, diamond lights, Simonis cloth, Diamond ball polisher and Aramith balls. The perfect set up to play and learn in. I noticed it was a...

So this guy, Jason Foutch,sends me a friend request on FB, I see that he plays pool so I add him. He has been posting these videos where he calls himself the Great One and refers in himself in the third person! And he keeps woofing on Cody Wilson for a big cash game. So, for those of you that...

I am looking for someone that would be willing to play some snooker at Cue and Cushion in Overland Missouri. (near St. Louis) I'm a very inexperienced snooker player, only played a few games so far. But I would like to give it another try with someone who is already familiar with the game. So...

A break shot in a game of 9 ball, 10 ball or even 8 ball where the emphasis is usually more on power coupled with accuracy, why do players utilize a different set of mechanics as opposed to their regular shot? Example: their head is usually a little higher, the stance is a little more closed and...

This is excerpt from a email to me from Mark Wilson. I'm not sure if this is his words or someone else's but that's not the point. The point is that I think it's a good phrase to keep in mind if you are a student of the game. (If you're reading this Mark, sorry, I wasn't trying to put you on...

I love this match between Rempe and Reyes. Jim Rempe shows why they call him the king in this match, nothing but class. If you get a chance watch the entire match because it is well worth it. This clip starts at a point where Rempe is forced to play safe. His cue ball control in exceptional and...

I am trying to make some plaques that will fit on the end of a diamond table light and I need the dimensions for it. I am hoping someone here has one and could help me out I need the dimensions for the inset area on the end of the light.

It was amazing, grueling, inspiring and exhausting! To start with I had to get up and leave my house at 4 in the morning due to the snowstorm that hit the mid west Saturday. So I meet Mark at Cue and Cushion around 11 am. Right away I can tell that this guy loves what he does. I was impressed...

I will be taking a lesson from Mark Wilson next Saturday and I was thinking about what questions I should ask him so that I can get the most from the experience. As instructors, what questions do you like to hear students ask?
