Billiards Supplies Tips and Info.

We had our second week of 9 ball billiards action last night in Pueblo Colorado. Our team (Diamond Jim’s) matched up with the Classic Cue 1. This was a tough match and our team pulled it out with the score of 19 to 16.

We enjoy the summer pool league and nine ball is much more fast paced than eight ball which is the game we play all winter.

I skipped the first match last week but I was present and accounted for last night. The first week of play for me is always a shock because it doesn’t seem natural to start playing pool league while the sun is still shining. We start the match at 7 PM in the winter for 8 ball and in the summer for 9 ball. During the fall and winter, it is already dark here in southern Colorado by 7 PM.

Classic Billiards on ESPN. Have you been watching?

I am writing this post on my lap top as I watch two legends of Pocket Billiards battle it out. Willie Mosconi (my personal pool playing hero) is playing Cowboy Jimmy Moore. I’m not sure when the match was played but the guide from Dish Network states the original air date of 2004.

They are playing on a 9 foot Brunswick Gold Crown Pool Table and I believe the tournament is in Atlantic City. Jimmy Moore was 71 years old and Willie Mosconi 68 at the time of this match. Both players could still run the balls even in their old age. (I met Willie in Denver back in 1989. I was 21 and he blew my mind.) I love Classic Billiards.
Willie Mosconi a 15 time world champion (Yeah Fifteen Time Champion) shined like the true star that he was. In the interview after the match, Allen Hopkins asked Willie, “Now that you are in the finals do you think you will win the tournament?” Willie replied, “Allen I didn’t think I had a chance. you know I’m not a 9 ball player.”
