    Question: Will the World 9 Ball Championship ever be played in the United States?

    What annoys me most is that the broadcast is only on par with every other tournament that is streamed live from a pool hall like CSI does or our recent German Tour event. I wish broadcast quality was up to Matchroom standards. Seems like Qatar ran out of money when it came to streaming...

Just got home from todays preliminary...

    pool in Munich

    I don't know about Munich itself, but Dachau is just on the outskirts of it Triple B http://www.triple-b-dachau.de/ It's the home of the German Premier League team BSV Dachau, so you can expect perfect table conditions and might bump into a skilled player or two. There are train connections from...

    How much cost 1 hour of Pool in your State or Nation?

    In my area in Germany it varies between 5 and 10 Euros depending on the city and the time of day. But there aren't many great pool halls around, mostly it's private clubs where you pay 30-50 Euros a month for unlimited play, often with your own key for 24/7 access. The problem really is the...

    Cleaning a table with water...

    We use water mixed with vinegar essence, of course tightly wrung out. It really cleans the cloth well, the rag is completely stained blue after all our 5 tables are serviced.

    Breaking down GCIII - novice advice

    Unknown manufacturer, said be to be Hungarian made. They're around 20 years old and one of the best tablefitters in Germany struggled to put them together at the last re-felting. We paid 450 per table when the owner wanted them back 10 years ago, so it can't be anything good.

    Ban safety shots.

    We play 10-Ball under WPA rules here in Germany. I can't think of any shot I called a safety on... Just call the most likely pocket to have a ball drop into and you're good. I do like the option of giving a shot back if you're hooked after missed shot, but I do want to play the obvious safety...

    Call Shot/Call Safety strategy against players of different speeds

    The best decision is to play your own game, no matter who your opponent is. Playing under WPA rules, which do not have the chance of giving back missed pocketing attempts, I'd probably adjust my game according to my opponent. A guy who takes a shot at every ball he sees the paint of: Play a lot...

    What Was the Best Mosconi Cup Shot Ever Made?
