Trying to find out who won the recent Iron City tournament for the men held before the WPBA event. Also interested in payouts. Thanks in advance

There has been much discussion about the small pockets at the UK Open, and we also had the problem at Derby City where there were a lot of unexpected misses blamed on pocket size. I would like to hear some more opinions, and primarily I would like to express my own. There are certain things that...

Anybody know why he isn’t at the US Open?

I stated an opinion that the Derby City Master of theTable was the hardest title in pool to win, knowing not many would agree. I was wondering what title would be more difficult? I base my argument on the fact that each of the 3 disciplines requires that the Master of the Table is solid in all...

I've been watching the YouTube videos of the 80's and 90's, and it was mentioned that in 1989, Nick Varner won the US Open and World Championship, plus won 11 of the 22 events he entered. Has anyone had a year to compare with that? Thanks in advance for the replies.

I have been bitten by the carbon fiber bug; but the high price of the big boys is making me ponder. I saw an ad for the Black Arrow shafts, and wondered if there were others not quite so high priced that I had not heard of. Also, any testimonials on any of the lesser known products would be...

Has the World Pool Series promoted by Darren Appleton run its course, or are there more tournaments to be played? Thanks in advance for the replies.

Playing banks as a youngster, we always played bank pool allowing three or more rail kicks. We also allowed combinations. At the Derby, it has been for some years no kicks, kisses or combinations. Are there other rules people play by, and what is the most popular? Everywhere I have played it has...

Had to leave the Derby today to go back to work tomorrow. Can anybody state who is left in the banks? I tried pulling up the scrolling screen but it was almost all one pocket. Thanks in advance

Is Mr. Appleton's World Pool Series tournaments still on schedule, or has those plans been shelved for the time being? Thanks in advance for any information.

I know there has been a discussion of what makes up the major pool tournaments around the world and the importance of winning the World Championship. Who has won the most titles that are considered the crown jewels of the sport? Please list any titles so the readers can see what each of us...

I was watching the 2006 14.1 Dragon World Tournament between Thorsten Hohmann and Thomas Engert, and wondered what became of Mr. Engert. Isn't he the one that reportedly ran 491 balls on a 9 footer? Appreciate any info.

I am one of the unfortunate who cannot watch the Turning Stone stream. Would someone be kind enough to share some updates? Thank you

Ok, watching Kelly Fisher and a player from Taiwan whose name I don't know at the Amway Cup. Kelly is up 6-5, and miscues shooting the 5, cue ball jumps and hits the 5, but does not leave the table. Official calls a foul. It obviously is not intentional, so can someone explain this call to me...

Would someone mind giving the winner and runner up of the tournament at Shooters this weekend?

I had the opportunity to go to the Derby this year, and played some bank pool on the Diamonds. They were by far the toughest tables I have ever played on. It seemed every bank was 1/2 diamond short, and the rails took no english. I wrote this off to just not being used to Diamonds, as there are...

I noticed that on a foul, the player coming to the table broke up a cluster of his balls, did not pocket a ball, and kept shooting. No ball in hand, but is that the rule, two shots if your opponent fouls? Any other rules we Americans would not be familiar with?

Having watched Josh Roberts, Skyler Woodward, Billy Thorpe, and Justin Bergman at the Derby this week, it appears that American pool has some very bright young stars coming that should hopefully make us very competitive with not only the Europeans, but anybody else. With that said, Mark Wilson...

A thank you note to Mr. Wiley, as I applied some advice he gave me some time ago last night and won the local 8 ball tournament. I'd played around some with the TOI, but never could convince myself to use it full time. Last night, I used it exclusively and shot much better than I normally do...

Having noticed that Wu has the highest Fargo rate, I was wondering what titles he has won this year. Thanks in advance for the help.
