What chalk is everyone referring to as this $30 chalk?
IMO, TAOM plays among the best and costs a lot less.

If he doesn't deserve it, nobody does. Who has entertained us more over the last 10 years than him, Filler, Fedor and Shane?

I don't give a shit about FSR or Yapp, boring to watch.

He will be a hall of famer in my opinion forever

When I didn't want to take my good playing cue to the bar , I'd take my sneaky Pete cue which was 6" over length and I used some 2" PVC pipe with a cap on one end and a clean out adapter on the other .
I always caught crap for it until they seen just how well I played with that cue .

So in some cases it can be a strange cue case too

I understand that . At the Empire was where Lance Saunders , Jerry and Paul Schmito hung out and played quite often .
There could have been another fella named Norm also ? Another fella named George who had a foo man chew that reached down to his belt .

Then there was Lance's big brother Billy who was always either writing a book on pool playing or making a video on the same .
He talked me into shooting some shots so he could film them as he thought I had a reasonable stroke .

Great stats
Any stats on unforced errors. ….ie easy shots missed

That's cool. I think a fair point to be made is that anything or any device can be used to shark somebody else. It's the statement a player makes when he performs a particular action that has intentions of distracting his opponent. Yes it could be an oxygen machine, it could be a glove, it could be disassembling your stick, and anything else that will distract your opponent.

I have a friend who does excellent repair work with all of the equipment. I can furnish the tip and he charges me 10 bucks. Perfect work and a no brainer for me.

yea some good shit happened around there with george and frank. frank was still in his best shape then and unbeatable. few would really go for him as he was too slow. and too good.
i wish i would have met you back then. and maybe i did, but no memory. i came in the pool room when in town but had bigger fish to fry at the empire bar.

Some rich AZ billiards fan can sure spare a million to set up a training fund for a bunch of talents? Grow them now.

I find it peculiar that pool is so ingrained in USA culture but no angel investor to be found? Joe Rogan?

Somebody to swoop in an lose money for the benefit of what?

That little thinking speaks volumes about what pool is.

Since my Dr put me on oxygen a few days ago, is that considered "sharking " if I have the oxygen machine over my shoulder ?
What if I take it off to play my games ? The hose is about 5' long is all . ha ha

One good thing is mY blood oxygen level is 95 when I checked it last .

If you are serious about that comment, it is may or may not be sharking . Your oxygen equipment could be sharking if you use it that way, but I think you were just making a funny analogy.
