Ustream has been streaming a big Tourney at hard times billiards on the west coast. Look for POVPool in search. Sorry I didn't post sooner. Watched many of the top pro's from Reye's on down, all live 9 ball races to 7. What a treat. -- Jack Add Life to your Days not Days to your Life. http://j...

Awesome shot! (10 replies)

sittingduck — 2012-01-29T20:39:43+00:00

My buddy made a nice shot on the 8 ball, rolling all the way downtable for shape on the 9.... got a little off line, the good news is, he didn't scratch. The bad news was, he was solidly hooked on the edge of the pocket. He didn't even blink, just got down and shot a 3 railer, hitting it PERFECTL...

The TAP League defines an 'aggressivenes's statistic as: Player aggressiveness (Opponent complete/[Completes + LOT�s]) Maybe I'm just dense today, but I totally don't understand exactly what this means. Can anyone explain? dave y.

How about this one! There is a TAP league in Harrisburg PA area, that holds what TAP calls Titleholder events. Basically tournaments for TAP players and teams that qualify. Well, players MUST stay at the host hotel that TAP is playing at. Players must also "pay the special TAP rate", which is much ...

Mark0 and Hank match up (5 replies)

Hank — 2012-01-18T16:11:08+00:00

Uneventful and pathetic, that's all I can say about it. :-) Mark0 had about an hour to kill and I was hoping for more time. But after all, he has a job. We went down in the dungeon. Mark0 said he liked to play banks, but I can't bank to save my life. We agreed on 9 ball. I racked the first practic...

Here is a link to a 14.1 match from last year's DCC. http://vimeo.com/19655765 There is no audio for this match. I just watched it and kept score with Billiards Buddy on my iPhone, and here are the stats. I think this was a 100 point match, so the last 11 balls didn't really count. Or mayb...

Any gamblers out there? (3 replies)

Hank — 2012-01-13T20:37:03+00:00

In hopes of stirring interest in RSB...... I am hoping a couple of the railbirds out there would like to wager a friendly bet with someone else here in RSB when mark0 and I shoot. A friendly $1 -$5 bet is all it takes. Mark and I will not be able to bet, so you both ( if more than 2 people, figure...

A unique, seemingly simple practice drill that accurately checks out(and improves) your "touch" on the cue ball and the consistency of your stroke. (10 replies)

ernie — 2012-01-11T19:13:23+00:00

Till you try it, it looks to be far easier than it actually is -- depending on the present quality and repeatability of your touch and stroke. Anyway it�s a cleverly conceived practice tool, and having tried it now for a few long sessions I agree with the originator/demonstrator that (given patienc...

Columbo is my current series to watch on Netflix. They don't have every episode of the early seasons but I'm on season 2 right now. In one of those episodes, Columbo is visiting his suspect and he notices a very nice pool table (sorry I don't know what it was). Columbo avoids getting to the ...

Most balls on 9 ball break (4 replies)

Steve B — 2012-01-7T19:13:33+00:00

Yesterday, I made seven balls on a nineball break. 9 and 3 left. Nothing different, nothing unusual. Just went, Wow! Is there any sort of record keeping on this? Oh, I know I would not qualify, as no one witnessed it, but I swear it happened. Honest. Steve

Steve B — 2011-12-29T05:03:42+00:00

After playing the game for more than 50 years, I have come upon a bright insight into pool. Looking at the spot on the object ball where it will make it go to the pocket. After that, English, force of impact, etc, are important, but being able to repetitively hit the cue ball and have it hit th...

Since it winter and not much to do outside, I thought I'd try to stir up some interest in this News Group. I see a few of the older names, but not many new ones. Maybe if us older folk tell a few of our stories, the new people will join in. I am sure we all have many. I'll go first with a short on...

2 vintage clips of Mosconi -- one demonstrating 14.1 pattern play &breakshots; the other showing him at age 36 doing trick shots. (10 replies)

ernie — 2011-12-22T18:55:12+00:00

First, a fuzzy, occasionally jumpy 7-minute 1980 video that nevertheless amply demonstrates Mosconi�s firm and ultra-confident delivery stroke that�s also capable of great subtlety (note the cute nip/slide-draw he executes at 3:40 that has to avoid the break ball he�s setting up on by a scant millim...
