Going to have a hard time proving Mosconi never touched or moved an object ball.

They made the rules after it was over.

Has anyone installed Predator Arcadia Cloth ? I am hearing all kinds of things.

I am with this guy as I see all these stroke experts criticize the greats and the stroke is key so whoever has the best stroke is the best player and Earl had the best stroke for a long time. Keith was a great player so he had a great stroke. I have seen these stroke experts criticize Mosconi's...

I guess you could do that or people like you could get out of the game before you completely destroy it. I played pool when it was popular and it was fun and then some people like you decided to clean it up and it has been going down hill since and in fact is no longer fun. You need to take your...

Aiming is easy the real challenge in pool is to deliver a straight stroke and stay down and follow thru. If you stay down and follow thru on every shot you will see you simply do not miss much.

Jimmy Moore told me Mosconi had a short slip stroke maybe 6" , Jimmys was long and easy to see.

Once you learn the physics of the game which are very simple it just comes down to is making the cue ball go in the right direction to contact the object ball in the right spot with the right speed and English. I was talking to Nick Varner about Buddy Halls cue ball control and he pointed out...

I think it is guys like you that are the problem.

The only Gold Crowns I know of that don't suffer from some kind of roll off are the ones done by Glen Hancock where he turns the 3 pieces of slate into a one piece slate and has a leveling system for leveling the slates.

One pocket is great as it is. But you can play any rules you want if you can get your opponent to agree.

I agree leave one pocket alone.

The one thing that has changed in this game is the playing surface. That is a big deal and maybe it was not a good thing.

Been playing pool for 50 years I played when it was fun and there was money in the game. I played it when the players were colorful and exciting. It is people like this guy that have come into the game and taken all that away turning it into a boring game that no one cares about. Makes me...

. I was playing in the BCA nationals on a team that ended up winning the event and as some point in the tournament I hooked my opponent and he kicked at the ball and missed by a foot resulting in ball in hand I picked up the cue ball and he called a foul on me for not verbally calling a foul on...

You put it perfectly this is the kind of thing you see in pool leagues and in my view not a way to try and win a professional tournament. Now I understand why in the old videos you see the referee verbally calling every shot.

I think this may sum it up pretty well and in my view Jason was looking to not out play Earl but to win on a possible technicality. They both played horrible and were frustrated at that point but it was obvious what Earl was doing it is not like he called the 2 shot at it and made the 10 instead...

I watched the stream and did not hear anyone calling obvious shots and the shot was obvious. I know winning is important but at the same time if Jason wins he would not win because Earl missed he would win on a technicality. Got to admire his heart to get up un front of the world and call a foul...

I agree I have played on both and the slower cloth makes for a better game requiring a more powerful stroke and you can do things you can;t do on this no nap cloth. It also lasts longer and you can jump a ball with a regular pool cue. It is a better game. That is the reason they keep making the...

Earl is aware when he moves on a shot he misses and he is trying physically attack the problem with all these weights. My take on moving on the shot lack of confidence in that particular shot. I also think this problem seems to get worse as you get older. Why that is I don't know
