I thought he told me Lynn, but I'm probably mis-remembering. {edit: Dorchester and West Newton}

Ken's a nice man. Don't know much about his play, but he is easy to be around & always eager to help out..
I don't really care for any of the announcers... they all seem to "upstage" the players, with their ideas about what the the player will be attempting to do. I do like the type of announcer that allows the player to be the show & then attempts to explain what happened & maybe why... JMHO

Boy it's been 10 days since the last post...
Just think -- Ken Shuman has had 10 more days to practice. That doesn't even seem fair.

Ken Shuman shoots so good....even Picasso says.."Damn that man can draw"
Ken Shuman shoots so good....Efren even wears a t-shirts thar reads "
"what would Ken Shuman do?"
"what would Ken Shuman do?"
Ken Shuman shoots so good.....he broke the fargo rating when it went over 999 and went back to 000.
I hope you're half-kidding and don't really mean inherent. I'm sure you know it's all about environment. When it comes to general talent within a region, that is a fact. But I'm sure Freddie wasn't suggesting this. He's just a proud native who can appreciate the fact that somebody else is where he's from. It elevates Ken just a little bit more in his mind, not as a pool talent but as a person. It's a regional pride thing, nothing more. Makes complete sense to me.
Ken Shuman told Efren, "you can play one pocket, I'll play half-pocket."

Let me add some clarity to this discussion and lend some some support to my man Freddie. For those who don't know, there's a lot of old-school pool knowledge in MA, as its part of the Northeast corridor that is still the bastion of straight pool. And if you understand straight pool you have the basis for all other games.
Don't sweat the naysayers, Freddie. They didn't go to UMASS, so they just don't know. Minutemen Rule!

I'm also a Greenfield boy, sorta...
because I kept skipping my high school classes to go hang out at Sam's Pool Hall (CT) I ended up not graduating high school. :embarrassed2:
I enlisted in the Army and they had a requirement of either having a HS diploma or a GED. The recruiter drove me to take the 3 part GED test at Greenfield Community College.
I passed and was then able to go into the infantry. Whoohooo...

My father taught Communication (Speech) and English Composition from 1974 at GCC until he retired ~2007.
Freddie <~~~ proud of my great little hometown
Rotation from my father and straight pool from New England. These formed the basis of my game.

And you were one of the beasts at UMass!
