Pool with Helena Thornfeldt, the Sledgehammer

Last night while at Mr Cues 2, a local pool room here in Atlanta, I had the pleasure of playing one of the top WPBA women players, Helena Thornfeldt. This was the match to see which one of us would be in the money and I won.

Helena Thornfeldt, from Sweden is most known for her massive break and her nickname is rightfully known as "The Sledgehammer"




I want to personally thank Helena for coming out and playing pool with us last night. It isn't every day you get the opportunity to play such a great player. She was very gracious as I celebrated my win - maybe a bit much.. LOL But the truth is, we had a great match and for me, a memorable one.

Pool T-Shirt - Players Prayer

This is one of my newest T-Shirt designs titled "Pool Players Serenity Prayer"

The last part is the most important I believe - Never assume defeat!

Jean Balukas - I've got a Secret

Here is a great old video of the famous pool player, Jean Balukas who was the first famous woman pool player - yea, before Allison Fisher and Jeanette Lee. This video is from a show called "I've got a secret" and features a 6 year old little girl (Jean) that shows off her skills on the Pool Table. Later they bring on her younger sister and she hits a few.

Jean Balukas left the sport she dominated in 1988 after a WPBA fine of $200 was imposed after a tournament in Las Vegas. Ms Balukas refused to pay the fine and walked away from pool, never to play in a professional tournament again. I guess sometimes it is a matter of principal or morals - looking back, if she had it to do all over again - Would she walk away again?

Support your local Pool Rooms

We all have been hit hard during this recession. Pool rooms are closing every month in almost every state and for the sport I love, this is a hard fact to swallow. We as pool players can help our favorite rooms survive by eating there if they serve food, rather that stopping at a fast food place on our way to our Pool Room. Shop in their pro-shop rather than going online and paying the same price anyway.

Friendships are also made in our pool rooms. If you are looking for work, your pool room may be a great way to network.

Infringement or Not...

Copyrights protects exact images, art and written words. Your blog is your copyrighted material. Your words and thoughts should be protected against anyone coping and pasting your message to their site without your permission, then claiming the article was written by them.

I've lately had an issue with someone claiming I infringed on their trademark and copyright - but this is not true. I did my research before naming my websites and picked names related to what I do.

Trademarks protects brand names. You can't trademark simple words that are used everyday or a term that just describes what your business does. An example would be GolfTees - this term just describes a T-Shirt company that specializes in Golf... Simply said. Changing the name to ParTees - Now this name could be trademarked as long as it doesn't infringe on another trademark already in the system.


Most everyone out there knows how to search Trademark law before making an accusation against someone, if you need more information about trademark law you can find it at http://www.uspto.gov/
