I just wanted to mention there is a wonderful advantage to watching your YouTube video directly from the forum, rather than following the link to YouTube to watch it there. The reason is ads -- or shall I say actually, LACK OF ADS!!!! YouTube is horrific for the number of ad interruptions --...

As long as I have been aware, I've been cross-dominant, meaning right handed but left eye dominant for pool aiming. However, in the last year or so my left eye has developed a condition that has diminished its focus, so now I have significantly better vision in my right eye. The problem is, my...

Back in the day the WEI pool table diagram program was quite popular. But I think the original programmer eventually lost interest in it or something, and it kind of got left behind, as other methods of diagramming a shot took over -- especially simple photos of table layouts. Does anyone know...

I don't normally watch 9-ball but I might have to tune in this weekend to watch this unfold. No one has ever swept a major three event all-around tournament. A couple of players have won 2 of 3 -- including Mark Tadd in LA in I think 1992, who won Banks and 9-ball but lost in the One Pocket...

I have a "shadow box" -- about 14" x 52" -- I'd be interested in a remnant from either a significant tournament or an iconic poolroom -- big enough to line the bottom. Be even nicer if it was signed :) Does anybody have anything?

I saw this in the NY Times -- the original pro football championship trophy from 1920 was made by Brunswick-Balke-Collender -- and it has been missing since it was first handed out!! Do one of you guys have this stashed in your pool/billiards collection...

I'd like to buy a decent used Predator shaft to fit an old Dufferin, needs to be flat face, no black collar (just wood) and close to 13 mm like 12.5 + preferred.

These two guys have done more for pool over the last 40 years than about anyone I can think of without the recognition they deserve. They may not be as glamorous as some of the recent inductees but just take a look at their rock solid contribution to pool over that time! Conrad published the...

I stumbled on this cue seems to be a Viking VM9 but with extra rings apparently -- or just a different model year from the ones I have seen online and in the Blue Book. No logo on it that I can see. It has the usual small signs if wear but hits solid and rolls pretty good on the table. I would...

I have finished uploading a ton of DCC tournament photos to a gallery here: http://www.poolinaction.com/2015/DCC/2015-Tournament-Photos I tried to label the players, but there are a dozen or two that I do not know who they are. Your help would be appreciated. You will probably be able to...

I think this is the perfect year to give the award to the guy that brings together the most action for our entertainment over the last few years, and that is Ray 'Big Truck' Hanson. Without him, and with the recent heavy shadow of "no betting, no gambling" cast over the DCC we would have been...

I hope all of you guys who are coming to Derby City will plan to come to the One Pocket HOF dinner on Tuesday night, January 27. This year we are going to have a tribute to 'Freddy the Beard' along with one surprise 'Lifetime Pool in Action' award, so even though we are not doing any new player...

I was only there Saturday of this three day event. There were at least four former US champions in the field. It was won by Sonny Cho. http://www.poolinaction.com/Billiards/Amazin-Billiards-September Rather nice cue he wields, too! If you have not been to Amazin Billiards you owe yourself a...

I was out there for most of the One Pocket (missed the final match because they pushed it back an extra day :( ), which included the first couple days of the 10-ball plus I wandered over to the Artistic Pool competition now and then. I put the best of my photos in two galleries: US Open One...

I am sorry to say I heard from a family member that long time Bay area pool player James 'Salt' Duval died yesterday. I only met him at Derby City, and he came to several of our HOF dinners there. We hit it off because he really enjoyed the history of the game and the players of old. We talked...

Apparently this is a relatively early Libra cue -- possibly one of the first few they made according to Jack Potter, one of the cue maker partners in Libra. It has been owned by a good friend of mine for quite a while and he is now ready to part with it. He's just not computer savvy and has...

I've been uploading photos from the Derby. If you have a few minutes and want to look at most of them, then the best way to view them is to click in the upper right hand corner where it says "Slideshow" -- that takes you to a full screen slide viewer. When it starts, you can also click top left...

I have tried wading into a couple of the Bonus Ball threads, but could not muster the time to read everything. I thought maybe a shorter version would be available here. Is the current BB schedule (apparently postponed & rescheduled a couple times) going to create conflicts for Bonus Ball...

An old friend of mine seems to be thinking of selling this cue. He always thought it was a Southwest, but maybe not?? He's looking for ID help and approximate value. It does have one unusual identifying feature (I think) -- the little white dot inset into the end of the joint screw. Any ideas...

I finished uploading photos from the US Open 1P. Y'all already know Shane won Appleton took second -- he apparently could have used some coaching in the late stages of the finals -- but not from the guy behind him in the stands, who also looks perplexed, lol You can see the rest of my...
