The Longoni is a good looking glove, plus it sounds like excellent quality. Maybe if my Molinari falls through I'll put the money into one of those. I'll admit, the only reason I wanted to try the Molinari is because I saw SVB using it. I figure if it's good enough for him, it's good enough...

Waited 2 weeks now for my glove from them. They've been very good about answering emails, but sounds like they have changed their shipping practices. They use the USPS now and don't have any shipping info beyond the date they sent it.

I know it's been a while, but do you remember how long it took you to get the glove from 3cushioncues? They are in New York and I'm in Texas and it has been 2 weeks since I ordered mine. I will say they have been very responsive when I've asked about this. Unfortunately they use the USPS for...

Thanks for the info daphish1.

I'll be spending next Tuesday-Friday in San Antonio around the North Star Mall area. I'm looking for a good pool room (non-smoking, preferably 7', 8', or 9' Diamond tables) in the area to kill time in the afternoons. It would be nice to find a place that has free pool or charges a flat rate...

Somewhere in that 2nd Tier I think you'd have to add David Henson (LD) definitely and Kevin Guimond probably. Pooligan <---- TX 57th Tier :)

Pidge, I'm glad you are enjoying the game. One thing I have definitely found is it can be a good indication of how 'easy' a table is. I don't know what equipment you have, but I have only scored one 7 on my table at home (although I can't play very much nowadays). My home table is a 9'...

Thank for the post, Ralph. I'd be interested in contacting the inventor of Colors to show him my version. They are essentially the same game concept, but mine has slightly different rules and was not created to be a competition game, only for practice. -Pooligan

Thanks nine_ball6970, I appreciate it. Maybe someone could talk to Skinny Bob's about putting it on their website? Or at least a link? LadyV, how about it?

Brackets? The news item on the AZB front page about the Open states : "They have a new web-site this year that will allow keeping track of the scheduled matches and results." Does anyone know where this website is? I checked Skinny Bob's site and it only lists the basic info on the Open, no...

I had the fortune of playing Bob back in the 90's in Belinda's straight pool league in Austin. I wish had taken the opportunity to spend more time on the table than just our matches. I even knew at the time he coached Belinda and I still didn't take advantage of his knowledge (forehead smack)...

I had a 1993 Schon ltd that I thought was the prettiest cue I had ever seen. Got it in trade in Vegas from Joe. I've posted pix of it looking for some more ID in this forum. I think I relayed in that post that I sold it when I decided to clear house of older cues. After going through a few hands...

Yep, looks like I'll be hitting up Click's tomorrow or Friday. Just called for rates, interesting that they charge different for 8' vs 9' tables. I don't think I've ever seen that. I'm cheap, so I'll probably bang 'em around on the 8' for the 'free w/purchase' rate. Maybe I'll play some 7-UP...

Will be down in Corpus for the latter half of the week, looking for a nice place to shoot some to kill a little time while down there. Any ideas? Pooligan

Printable Version I have made a Word document for the (so far) 'official' rules. A few people have mentioned playing the game and I thought an easier version to print and post up or take with you might be helpful. Pooligan

I have been contemplating on how combos should be handled. Without trying it in real practice, my instinct tells me that, if allowed, your description is how it should be played. That is, any ball may be struck first ( I would still exclude the 8 from this), but the ball that is dropped belongs...

Figured I'd ask again. Any Schon experts out there want to take a stab at this one?

That's one of the best tweaks to the game I have heard so far. I hadn't considered varying the scoring to allow for an improved score if you don't take ball in hand. You also pointed out one of the additional rules I realized when showing my team the game last night. If there is a ball...

I just posted a video of me playing a new practice game I invented. http://youtu.be/ahMX85EytCA?list=UUZ6LRTdgsjAtwAb_Nq025jg I am right there with you on weight, 285 pounds myself. In the video, you can see I can still deliver a good stroke on the cue ball and an accurate hit. Having said...

Video Uploaded I decided to take a shot at videotaping an example of 7-UP. The video can be found at the link below : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahMX85EytCA Sorry about the poor quality, I had the camera on the lowest setting to conserve space and to get a quicker upload time. I live...
