    Sad day in the pool world - Mika Immonen 1972 * 2025

    Met him a couple of times over the years - always very cordial and pleasant to talk with. He was only 3 months younger than me and I know that he felt that there was plenty of life still to be lived, because that's the way I feel today. 52 is far too young, whether you're a professional pool...

    Trying to find a cue - Brunswick by Joss

    Thanks - I didn't check for a little bit and guess I missed it as I can't find it on there now - appreciate the heads up.

    Trying to find a cue - Brunswick by Joss

    Trying to find the cue pictured below - my Dad bought me one years ago (1993, 1994 maybe?) before he passed and for sentimental reasons, I'd like to try and find another to keep in the collection. I look on Ebay consistently and have posted in the WTB here a few months ago, but haven't had any...

    Cue maker suggestions

    Danny Spates (Woodlands, but has a shop inside Big Tyme), Jerry Olivier and Bill Lister (FL) come to mind. Bill made me a beautiful cue a few years ago and the price and turn-around was very reasonable.

    Yapp winning, with a foul! Just like Maradona making a goal with his hands :D

    I've watched it a few times and I can't come to a conclusion in my own mind. From some views/videos, it looks like a clear foul, from others it doesn't - depends on the angle, speed of the video that I'm watching etc. It's going to continue to be controversial I'm sure, but it's done, the...

    RIP Joe Salazar

    Bought several cues and cases from him over the years - a true gentleman and very easy and honest to deal with. I had the chance to talk with him a couple of times about his days on the road and while he never bragged about how well he played, I heard enough from others to know that on a bar box...

    2025 ONEIDA WPA Women’s 8‑Ball World Championship

    Very enjoyable event to watch - Chezka plays unbelievably strong - no hesitation and just an innate sense of the game. From my perspective, she lost based on being a little less "seasoned" and pulling the trigger too quickly on a couple of key balls. Jasmin was just a little steadier and more...

    WTB - Brunswick/Joss GC-3

    Looking to buy a Brunswick/Joss GC-3 (the specific cue pictured) - I recognize these don't come up for sale often but my Father (who passed away many years ago) bought me one of these in 1995 and I sadly sold it when I stopped playing after his death. I'd like to pick up another one for purely...

    Houston legends

    Random names/places I recall from “back in the day”: Cue-Nique on FM 1960 Goody’s on HWY 6 Rack N Roll Playoffs King Curtis Eugene Browning Watching David G matching up when he was in town. Getting the 8 from the Lizard and not liking it. Northside Mike I’m sure I’ll come up with a few more -...

    Mosconi Cup 2021 Day 3 Updates

    I’ve known Jeremy since 1995-1996 when I used to run into him at tournaments all over Houston. He always played hard and to take down the cash, but I never saw him cheat. My .02? Critical mistake but an honest one. I don’t think (for whatever reason) he knew. And for those who say he wasn’t...

    EARL STRICKLAND Returns to TEAM USA

    I’ve been on AZ for years and this is the fastest I’ve ever seen a thread grow. At the end of the day “If it bleeds, it leads” can be applied in varying contexts to most media. Controversy results in eyeballs on pages and in this case, I’ll bet that it will also result in increased ticket sales...

    EARL STRICKLAND Returns to TEAM USA

    It has the potential to be a train wreck, although should prove great for viewership and ratings either way.

    SVB vs Chang Update Thread

    If you bet on a race to 120 games and gave up 8.5, then at 112 it was over - regardless of where it went from that point IMHO. If you bet and agreed with the perspective above then you probably paid off - if you didn’t see it that way, then that’s between you and the person you bet with. I had...

    Team USA will not have Justin Bergman at Mosconi Cup

    The announcement of it could have been handled better which is key these days. In many instances how something is delivered has grown to be more important than the message itself. At the end of the day, for whatever reason he’s not playing this year. Find a suitable replacement and move ahead.
