Merry Christmas to the 14.1 crew. May everyone make a new high run for this upcoming year and best of health and happiness to all. :smile:

I got a present from a friend of mine who is into high end sports collectibles. Its a cue ball in a glass case with wooden framing signed by Willie Mosconi. He knows me for years and that i love straight pool and was going to buy it off from him but i was in a tight situation and told him to...

I was practicing straights at a place that i dont usually go to yesterday and was making small progress and i started going haywire, missing left and right, no matter what. This has happened to me 3 days this far this week. I was going nuts trying to figure what i was doing wrong and it was...

Hey guys I am and have been looking like mad for a Viking VX-14 also called VIK208. I have had zero success finding even a lead on one. I had one years ago and foolishly sold it. Anyone have a line on one or an idea ? Every company i have called i have had no luck with, open to any suggestions.

R.A. Dyer wrote in my opinion, two great pieces on pool. The hustler and the champ and Hustler Days. Does anyone have any knowledge if he is planning another book ? I think he could come up with some great stuff, he definetly proved hes capable. I was thinking along the lines of pool in the...

Just a great big thank you to Oldzilla, Jim Fredricks and Pat Fleming for the SUPER FAST SERVICE on my last order which i received today, total turn around time was i think 7 days from order to delivery and they had to burn two copies that they were out of stock on. Thanks a million guys, i...

Well i dont have much info because i got there late but i got there in time to see my buddy Max Eberle put up a run of 98 to have the high run for the day. I sweated every rack and the last one almost gave me indigestion. He only had a back of the rack break shot to play for on the 4 ball...

Hey Guys Sorry to start another thread on a personal problem but i figured if there was an answer to be found, this is the place. Anyway, the last 2 days my game just totally disintegrated, i mean BAD. I was doing everything i could think of to throw myself back on track and nothing was helping...

Is Schon considered the top of the production line cues ? I am considering picking one up as i have been using a Viking for the past 8 years, any pros or cons ?

I have a Viking in 19 oz, i unscrewed the butt cap and looked inside with a led light and saw a screw in there. Am i to assume that its a weight bolt or something of that nature ? Reason im asking is im giving it to someone as a gift but they like a lighter cue in the 17 to 18 oz range. Can i...

I got my pathetic high run of 30 balls back in June of 1994, i got it written down somewhere, lol. Anyway i got it at the cue club in Vegas where i used to play 3-4 times a week. I would play with 3-4 of the older guys as all the young guys were 9 ball crazy. Anyway, this one guy who was in...

Greetings I was watching Efren Reyes playing Raymond Ceulemans in a 71.2 balkine game. I used to try my hand at the 3 cushion every so often and find it a tremendously enjoyable game, extremely difficult but enjoyable. I was playing with Frank Torres when he used to own a pool room downtown once...

I just got back into pool after like a 8 year hiatus because of health problems. Anyway, im kind of shocked at the abscence of pool on tv, most notably ESPN. Nothing at all, zip. Why is this ? I was watching and they had bowling on the other week. Bowling !! I would rather watch milk curl than...

Hey Guys I wasnt sure where to post or ask about this so i took a shot here : I am looking for a site that sold photos of old pool players and other stuff, they sold a lot of memorabilia. I bought some stuff off of off them about 10 years ago and cant find the link for the life of me. I am...

Greetings guys I hope this hasnt been asked on here TOO many times before so im going to give it a shot. I play straight pool with someone who is pretty much a weaker player and im stronger than, so i go to 75 and she goes to 25 and it works out pretty well. On some days when i am really in...
