Stu you post quite a bit about female players that few know about and some of us appreciate the insight. Same case with the op.

That may be true, but never without identifying them by name and giving context regarding who they are.

The initial post was as cryptic and uninformative as could be. Thankfully, a few have come forth and attempted to identify the players, provide the name of the game they played, offer the location and now, offer a link to the match. The original poster could have and should have done all of this.

I am quite certain I have never started a thread with as poor a post as the one that started this one and if I ever do, I should probably be banned and authorize you to suggest as much to the moderators in such an eventuality.

Dan and I played almost even in the early seventies, he wouldn't give me weight but I wanted to play him because, he was such a nice person to do business with in a pool room.... he was not the norm.
I knew I probably wouldn't make any money/and he wasn't stealing, so I played by the game, after about 1 1/2 I think I was stuck two games and quit. Great person, not many Dan Louies in pool rooms.

Dan Louie is one of the nicest players I've ever met.

How could you tell while driving? What was visibly so dangerous about it?

If you are driving on what's referred to as "surface streets" you can absolutely tell the kind of area you are in. I could tell from I94 that I did not want to hang out at Cabrini Green back in the 90's.

You don't miss. The balls do.


No difference. Was one implied?

Watch the shot on the 6 ball in that same rack, he back-cuts it to the upper right pocket, it hits the first diamond on the long rail and still wobbles in sooooo impressive

Yes.

with that much space between them it likely wasnt a foul. or certainly too close to call.

Yes. The joints are wood. The brown caps protect the wood female end. Wood joints are pretty unique to custom cues

Naw...unless you meant 'Wood joints are pretty unique to older carom cues".

Some players still prefer them but nice cues come with pin in the butt, ala pool cues.
