    Dangers of having a non handicapped league with matches to 100?

    Just saw this, as I'm not a frequent visitor to AZB anymore, life gets in the way. I run the non-handicapped league that Dennis Walsh started in 2012. We play at Red Shoes Billiards in a Chicago suburb, a great room with equipment that is kept in top shape. The league has been very popular...

    Moving Table For New Floor

    I have a 9 foot Gold Crown III in my downstairs rec room. As part of a home renovation project we will be putting a new floor down. The room currently has a wall-to-wall indoor-outdoor carpet that will be taken up. I need to move the pool table to lay the new flooring. The rec room is large...

    Shaft Wax ( Discussing methods of shaft maintenace )

    I just tried the McDermott wax, which is a combination of beeswax and olive oil, on a shaft that already had a very smooth feel due to having been sanded a bit with Cue Wiz and then burnished. The wax created some drag that wasn't there before and I immediately removed it with some water and...

    14.1 League - Make-up Match Rules ?

    The Red Shoes leagues avoid forfeits to the maximum extent possible. Usually we have none. I'll explain. These are round robin leagues where everybody plays everybody else once. Toward the end of the session I pick out who the possible money winners are (the top 25% of the field) and I urge...

    Nick Varner 14.1 Seminar Chicago this Monday

    I regret being late with my comment, just been busy. I attended Nick's 14.1 seminar and found it very helpful. Afterwards I said to Dennis Walsh that if Nick does three seminars next year at Red Shoes like he did this year (one pocket, fundamentals and 14.1), I will fly up from Florida to...

    What's With Cleaning The Cue Ball So Often?

    If I recall correctly, Strickland had a skid that ended his last turn at the table. I was looking away but heard the commentators talk about it. I'm surprised he didn't raise the roof over his opponent's chalk. Or maybe Kamui sponsors him? Doubtful, but I guess pool pros are divided into two...

    What's With Cleaning The Cue Ball So Often?

    Mika was using chalk from his vest pocket and not chalking after every shot. If he is sponsored by Kamui, might he have been using Kamui chalk? Might that chalk have been the problem? Just asking, have never used it myself. Edit - Dave, our posts crossed! You and I are thinking along the...

    What's With Cleaning The Cue Ball So Often?

    I'm referring to the Worlds Tournament. In the final game yesterday they were cleaning the cue ball all the time - after every rack and sometimes during the rack - and still there were skids. If the commentators solved this mystery I didn't hear it, so I ask the group: * did the chalk that...

    May I call to reserve a spot in the tournament, or is it first come first served on tournament day?

    George Fels Derby City Straight Pool Challenge

    I elbowed everybody away and scored all his runs last year because I was mesmerized by his smooth stroke. He even walks smooth. Congratulations to Dennis, Bill and Dana for a great event again this year. They really made the trains run on time - the finals were on Accu-Stats on Saturday...

    Foul or not

    I'll just add another thought, though it's irrelevant to the question of whether it was a foul. If I had positioned myself perfectly and honestly thought it was a foul and called it as such, I might have had to go into the witness protection program. Though there weren't many watching the...

    Foul or not

    I was the scorer on that run. I can’t remember my thoughts before the shot but I imagine they went something like this: “If he fouls he will call it on himself.” I say that because I made no attempt to position myself by the tangent line. I probably felt that no matter how I positioned...
