sorry Mikey, I got the first one right though, lol. I was just upset that she could defend someone just because they shoot pool good. Quinten may be a stand up guy, I don't know. I do know that he's been in trouble with the law....a lot, he's been banned from snooker for dumping, and he has a history of attacking opponents during a match with shark tactics and personal threats. John Schmidt on the other hand is one of the most well respected players in the US and has never exhibited any of those qualities. I've had my differences with John in the past but for anyone to side with Quinten on this especially after reading the ENTIRE thread is just comical.
As has already been established i think the equipment makes bugger all difference in eight ball. it's just about picking the right pattern. and bar a couple of minor points the right pattern on an english pool table is the same on an american so he is a seasoned eight baller. this is proved by his good result in the IPT. he'd barely picked up an american cue before but he has good eight ball knowledge so he did really well. you don't need any big stroke shots in eight ball either like you do in nine or ten ball.
and i'm sorry, but some of you need to get a grip of reality. quentin is not some sort of cue god. Does anybody here really think playing Quentin Hann at eight ball is HARDER than an all around match with Danny Harriman?? It's not even close! Playing Harriman is MUCH tougher.
It's just the fact of the matter is why should John go out of his way to play someone who started insulting him and his ability and saying he is better than john at ALL games but then is only prepared to play him at one?? only one person backing down in this thread as far as i can see. play a few racks of nine ball for a few of weeks and play him if you are so much more talented than him! eight ball you've got more experience than John probably. why should he play you at the one pool game you have a chance at when you started it by insulting him!
oh and i agree with corvette - did you even read this thread JAM?
We're gonna keep banging heads on this equipment aspect worriedbeef
It makes a huge difference when comparing 8 ball on uk 8 ball tables/rules to the American rules/equipment. Hell it even makes some difference on different types of American equipment.....for example whatever the true odds against John beating Quinten at 8 ball on Simonis speed cloth might be, those odds are higher against John on IPT cloth.......and the tighter the cut of the pockets the higher those odds get. This is isn't bias cos I have none, nor rocket science.......just common sense

I never said that, but my point was they lost the snooker portions by large margins, as I recall, the Miz/Davis match was 2 parts pool/1 part snooker
the facts speak for themselves, outside the British Isles, only Canada has reached the pinnacles of international snooker, I can't think of an American that has ever even qualified for the tour, but I would like to see that very much
imo, all cuesports really need players outside their respective nations
Quentin Hann would be a most welcome addition to the pool scene imo, either in challenge matches or tournaments, we all make mistakes but it's how we progress from those mistakes that define us, he just needs to tone things down a bit though

It was Mosconi who played Rex Williams back in the 70's.
I have some brief footage of it.
Mosconi won the pool challenge and did manage to take one frame of snooker from Williams.

Why not concentrate on being a married man and let the whole forum know how much you want to hit it, hit it, hit it every time there is a photo of a young lady in a thread.
You're one of the "biggest slapnuts" in this forum, as far as I'm concerned.
BTW, I finally saw your picture. After seeing your mug, it looks like something "hit it" on you all right -- a big old ugly stick.
I will voice my opinion any damn time I feel like it, whether you like what I have to say or not. You make me sick to my stomach, and I hope I never have the bad fortune to be at an event at the same time you are. If I am, walk the other way, Pal.

I'm not sure I understand the humor of Derek and LWW by Smorgie, number one.
Number two, thanks for the kind response. I will have to read what the blue means.
I remember I initiated a thread about some prizes and other cool items being provided to those who wanted to pay for an AzBilliards membership, and nobody liked the idea at that time.
My, how things have changed with time, much like the climate on this forum.

Actually, I kind of think I look great for 54 years of age. Actually, I was 51 in that picture, I think.
EDITED: What a waste of time this forum is for me.
You, Corvette, are a loser in the biggest sense of the word. You are insulting and a POS as far as I am concerned.
