For the 2020 sticky when it posts. 24 January 1st. If I improve by two balls a day, I'll beat by October 28th!

Holden Chin of RAXX made me a great adaptor for my Schulers. I'm now enjoying my Revo 12.4. Want one? Call Holden @917.846.6200 for pricing information.

Two events whose current iterations I've thoroughly enjoyed since their revivals-Dragon Promotions World 14.1 since 2006 and Mark Kulungian's Connecticut event in 2016 and 2017-each had very small player fields recently whereas Peter Burrow's American event in Midlothian,Virginia seems to get...

Haven't seen this anywhere. Who's handling the PPV broadcast for the event?

Emily Duddy will be playing this year. I'm sure many of us remember Jasmine Ouschan beating all the boys and finishing 3rd in 2008. Jasmine played in the tournament from 2006-2010. Other female participants have included Jeanette Lee 2006, 2014 Pam Cimarelli 2012 Liz Ford 2009 Gerda...

Pete Margo’s 14.1 Tournament Career (acknowledgements to Charles Ursitti) Mr. Margo will be inducted along with Bobby Hunter into the 14.1 Hall of Fame at the World Tournament at Steinway Billiards in Astoria next month. April 14 - 19, 1968 6th Annual BRPAA World Tournament Terrace Ballroom...

Onofrio Lauri was the old man I followed around in the early Sixties. Funny to think that I’m older now than he was then. Born on June 27, 1896, he competed across six decades. He received the Billiard Room Proprietors Association of America (BRPAA) “Lifetime Achievement Award” in March 1966...

Looking for material from the Charlie Williams era, 2006-, particularly Round Robin sheets, etc. for a cumulative archive.

I could use some help with this. I'm trying to create a Charles Ursitti type archive for the current iteration of the World 14.1 since it was revised in East Rutherford in 2006. I've been at every event, but my memory is complete. I combed through the AZ 14.1 forums looking for player lists...

Spotted at the SBE from across the hall: Balabushka with Doc Fry's glitter rings and (I am told) a 1975 penny. Bay Ridge meets Feasterville! No, I couldn't afford it.

Karl Mayer an almost forgotten cuemaker and Mike Fedunca, somewhat of a cult one.

Appreciations-well merited-are rolling in over social media. I'd just like to share some images of my (Saul) Rich Lou Butera cue. I do not know if this was a production model or what relationship Mr. Butera actually had to the cue.

This is a poster made from a painting by one of the Twins, whom some may remember. I'm guessing about 1977. Any ideas?

Help an orphan! My Wikipedia article on fabled cue maker Abe Rich and his illustrious family of wood turners is an orphan, i.e., no one else has contributed information. You can help! Go to the site. Read the story of Abe, Morris, Issy,and Saul; it's worth your time. If you can contribute...

We all just got the bad news from Charlie Williams that Dr. Michael Fedak is no longer sponsoring the World. First off we must all thank the good doctor for his irreplaceable assistance in keeping the unbroken string of events in the revival of the World 14.1 going since 2006. Even in...

It struck me during the recent World 14.1 that second generation pool players are quite rare. Yes there were the Schaefers in the 19th and early 20th century and Lou Butera's son is a player, but think of the Mannings in football, the Earnhardts and Pettys in Nascar, the Hills, Villeneuves, and...

On eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/331273360102?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 This is a poster from the Pro Billiards Tour of the mid-1990s. The PBT seemed like a windfall for the sport, with tons of money coming in from RJ Reynolds (Camel cigarettes). Billiard Digest's...

On being voted into the 14.1 HOF!

I just heard that this room, where I played with three of my sons, and from where my mother bought me my first Rich cue, is closing. I don't know where the loyal daytime three cushion and golf players will go now. Please add your memories.

Funny that when heated carom tables are standard at the serious level one doesn't hear about heated pocket tables. It would seem like a relatively inexpensive option for a high end pocket table. Does anyone know of a manufacturer who has offered a heated pool table?
