amusing.... but,not saying it is intentional or not (a LOT of players consistently rack crooked without realing it)....the rack IS tilted..

I would think this goes without saying... but now everyone who was in Vegas.... has traveled back to threir respective places on the globe. Not canceling the event before everyone traveled there was perhaps the most irresponsible thing I have heard during this crisis. Please get informed...

Minnesota Fats had an album I found it in a collection of crap- might still have it somewhere. It is stories and the usual BS, and I think there might be a guest appearance by Waylon Jennings or someone like that.

Did the Tulsa Dave Barnett arrive via Portland, OR? If so, if anyone finds his current whereabouts or contact info, please PM me as well.

Is that the old Tommy T's?

I agree your best options are US1 billiards and Yale Billiards. Both of those rooms are about as real as one will encounter in CT. As mentioned, US1 will offer a chance to find Jayson there from time to time, but there is a signifcant drop-off after him (obviously). There a couple fo decent...

I knew Perry from years ago when he was in WI, and ordered some cues from him after he moved to AR. All f the cues at least through about 2000 that I had seen from him had the flared butt caps.

The Old Fashioned On the capital square does not have pool tables, but it is a great place for Wisconsin fare, and the owner, Bob, is a pool player who can direct you around (I think he plays at the Brass Ring).

A few observations... 1) Alas- sad comment on two guys who have no social life, end up building the pool hall to continue their life unencumbered by romantic involvement (if the pair are a couple, then forget this point, other than to say they are still domiciled in a pool hall, like so many of...

Mechanic Matt Tetreault in Agawam is good.

I just heard, and it seems to be true that Tim passed away. I can't believe it has been over 20 years since I first played Tim in a college tournament in NH. I liked Tim from day one, as he was just a friendly guy who loved pool. After that, we played and ran into each other throughout New...

Bob Mendenjian is a DVM. There are plenty of doctors who play pool (some perhaps reasonably proficiently).... if you include PhDs.

hmmmm... I did a similar analysis a while back and had slightly different results. I was using a magic rack, diamond table with Simonis 860. I also incorporated the break speed mobile app (I am not sure if it was accurate, but it should at least be precise, which was useful). The major...

MOT = Jayson Shaw HR = 187

Us1 I just recently relocated from MA to CT as well. I went through all of the rooms during the relo, and US1 is definitely the most serious of the rooms. Oddly, there is a rather significant drop off in level of play, understandably, between the best player there (rather famous for being the...

9-ball using a side rail break with a magic rack... a formula for putting a package together. Should never come up dry and can focus on playing position on the 1. Not saying a a 10-pack is trivial, just saying the side rail break with a magic rack takes away any concerns over coming up dry on...

depends on your break If you have a long windup/stroke to your break with a long follow-through, certainly a lighter cue is the way to go- as this type of break (think Johnny Archer when he breaks hard). However, there are those who use a much more compact break. The front foot stomp type...

Using traditional racks, as Hang has mentioned, leads to a great deal of variability ad lack of consistency. There are methods, like you have described that can help, but for the most part, when I used to play, I would inspect racks for where the gaps were rather than to try to eliminate them...

I used to play Ted quite often in the Portland area. I am sorry to hear about his condition- he certainly loved to play (a good straight pool player).
