This married fool told my wife before we ever got married to not ever ask me to choose between her and pool.

My buddy and half the wedding party were late for his rehearsal dinner because he was golfing with his groomsmen.

To say that his bride was pissed would be an epic understatement... Until her grandmother told her to settle down, it was her own damn fault. She was the one who decided to marry a golfer.

See it's knot funny. Knots are not funny, well they can be.
Fun with a paper towel should be the headline. Probably well maybe.

His work is absolutely outstanding. Jerry and I talked about the design that I wanted and he was very accommodating. The cue has a very special meaning for me, so it was placed on the wall rack, never chalked, never hit a ball, but I look at it every day.

We're in the process of remodeling for a pool room. Part of our plan is to acquire one of Jerry's cues for exactly the same reason...

Back to myself being myself.


Then you hold it like the women hold their liquor. Grab the ears.
Makes a stable forward rest for the cue.
The tuck tuck fold fold of the paper towel provides a proper tool.
Try it, it might ......well at least it's a small investment. For an experiment.

Then again, for all the married fools out there, remember this was a self inflicted injury deciding to get married.

I failed to mention that there was a junior event at the UK Open. I didn't get to watch much of it, but I've always admired Matchroom for its continuing commitment to giving the juniors some nice events in which to play. Thanks, Matchroom.

I did at one time have a task at work that could be done using my pool stance and stroke.
A significant number of 1x2 inch hardwood cap rails in various lengths, needed a mortise cut to accommodate a connector for office panels that the body was fabric and separated office areas in large rooms. So the pin router was my position well my task for semi trailer size orders that went from finish to shipping almost instantly.

My final performance had me in a neutral stance similar to linebacker, with supply cart of 50+ pieces that served as a workout cue. .
My modifications to the pin router gave a pole vault launch entry to the 20,000 rpm bit. A tolerance of zero was the owners request as to the length and depth of the cut. Well I got it refined to where I could load with one hand while off loading with the other.
Uh oh the job was the one I quit shortly before I registered my tip top performance in bar box 9 ball race to 7 performance. The Big Show!!!!!
Well it took until going down 6-2 for the point against the only other undefeated....wow. When I did get my mind right......I Won. Well a few early 9s er uh money balls, as in those days the table was a quarter. The house did sponsor me for the 35 entry fee as I worked as a referee for the 2 day event. So not quite minimum wage but beer and food made it closer.
I did get the second day off as I was playing on the one remaining table.
And almost lost the t rack. I had the pin router singing in a fashion no one in the 10 person (not man ) shop had ever seen or heard. Just a steady March ing pace uh kinda like the cadence sung on March.
Your Left
Your left right left......
Of course my work got the thorough inspection as I had produced double what the factory had ever achieved. Every piece got A+. I got Good practice and developed an Adequate stroke. Not poke wink . Most of the tendons were cueball depth. So my focus needed to be on perfection in the insertion and completion of the stroke. The 20,000 rpm bit would punish quickly and well f*** ups were punished in brutal fashion. Things that make you say .
Doing the pin router task as a workout allowed me to get in the zone. Playing the router.....for an endurance pace built a strong foundation and stroke.
The linebacker stance then place bridge would be the strongest tripods stance. It works fine shooting from the hip.
The dance step into shooting position is next.
Getting a little tired. Already
Long winded er uh perhaps Windie Ed (you know ....old fart)

That is a low resistance band that he is using. It's purpose is to get you to accelerate at the cue ball.
