What in the world is THIS?
Is SSOP selling out? The Straight Pool channel surrendering to nineball?!

Oh, don't worry, my 14.1-fanatics. This is just an announcement that this August will be nineball month at SSOP. I will be playing in the Phoenix Open (a WNT nineball event) and the very next week I am attending the US Open in Texas as a spectator.
The goal is to have fun and get better at Straight Pool. I have always said to be a complete player you need to play all games. Which I have not been doing. So starting today, nineball gets worked into my practice. What does that mean? Stay tuned and find out.

If you are attending the US Open this August, be sure to say hello. And I will have a limited supply of my products on hand. But please be discrete out respect for the vendors who pay good money to display their products.
