I went home and set it up. And this was exactly what I did ... was the most natural solution.

I have been playing for 32 years. In that time span, I have gone from Meucci Original to Schon to Schon-OB to OB-OB and now to Predator Throne-Revo. Throughout all of those changes, I think the cue performance gains are marginal, but difference in feel is significant. Personally, I found very...

There is an interview out there from few years back (think it was on TAR) where they ask Earl Strickland that question ... and he said that aging top players lose their ability to consistently hit the one ball square on the break. He said something to the effect that he noticed in every top pro...

I bought a Meucci Original in the late 80s when a lot of top pros were using them (Earl, Loree, Rempe, DHoward, etc.). They were different than anything on the market ... whippy shaft, more weight in the back, and a long, soft ferrule. In the mid 90s, I moved to a Schon and then Schon LTD (1...

I watched that movie when it came out in theater ... and was the reason I started playing. Favorite line ... Orvis says, "You know who you got stakehorsin' here for you? This here's Fast Eddie Felson. Who the hell are you? The end of the world?"

Can anyone tell me if the Z3 taper is identical to the OB Pro? I think they are both euro/conical tapers, but want to know if they taper at the same gradient / feel like the same thickness. Reason I ask, I have played with an OB Pro on a Schon LTD for many years and really liked it. I...

This post is right on the bullseye.

Pac I think 5 years ago, it would have been all Floyd ... no doubt about it. But, I don't think he moves as well and he is gonna get hit in this fight. And he doesn't throw enough punches in a round to overcome those hits on points. Tyson said it best, every fighter that has given Pac...

Your quote, "class ... And something that americans aren't going to have." You write like someone truly born believing in a world of aristocracy. Americans don't believe in that crap. And that is why America is superior both in business (600% GDP of the UK) and in sport (60% higher medal...

I think there is a supportable argument that O'Sullivan would be great at pool. I have no argument there ... he is amazing. But when you write stuff like this ... "If you can't compete where the money is, you can't compete, you can only blow." as reply to a guy like CJ Wiley ... you lose all...

I use this. I don't think the Simonis product works well and it is way overpriced. I would never buy it again. I use this on my 9' with 860 ... http://www.amazon.com/Dirt-Devil-Bagless-Handheld-SD12000/dp/B00E005QV4 It is faster, works much better, and is 1/3 the price. I use quick clean...

Classic and timeless. Thanks for sharing that.

I have tried a lot of stuff made for shafts. I find that isopropyl alcohol works better than any I have tried. I also burnish with a leather pad made by Porper.

Wow ... Pulpul's reaction afterwards ... What a loser. I don't know how the crowd can sit there and accept that ... I am surprised there wasn't a lot of booing.

It is obvious that if Shane would have called the 10, this situation would not be here. And that he is responsible for. But he is not to blame for the behavior of the tournament and the ref. He is not 100% responsible for the ref's failure to abide by the same rules in Busti's match. That...

I am trying to understand your post "this is not the referee" ... Why then is SVB called on that foul and that same ref does not call Busti for the same foul? I agree SVB is at fault here, but there is plenty of blame to go around. This whole situation questions the whole veracity of the rule.

That shows you the difference between Efren and Alcano. Alcano's character is indefensible on this. He is a coward.

This post is a key point. I just cannot wrap my anround this. People are on here writing that the rules are are the rules. This is called as a foul on Shane, but not on Busti? So if I follow the logic here: 1) The tournament created a screwed up modification to the WPA standard rules 2)...

Here is something that you see in tennis many times. Your opponent hits a winner and the ref calls it out. But, you saw the ball clearly land in. The rules are that the refs call is what counts. Time and again, I have seen the best sportsmen in tennis give their opponent the point (here is an...

It is really a shame that we cannot have a common set of universal rules for pool. With that said, I cannot believe Alcano would want to take a game that way. As a sportsman, he should not accept that. I think Shane's decision to walk out was a message to Alcano (and anyone else) that if you...
