Janette Lee quickly called the police when her gardener didn't come back after lunch.:grin-square:

WOW, I Googled Keyra Augustina and then looked at all the images and some of them are way better then the one you got up Marcus. Oh yeah, nice cue too.

Wow !!! This has been one great read and I think all you guys deserve good reps! So what I have gathered now after all this back and forth is that Burton Spain, just like HE wrote in HIS book, did sell blanks to Frank Paradise. I looked at a Paradise last year and it had five veneers, so can I...

Years ago Jerry Franklin had told me that wood was called eppy or something like that.

How does the thickness of the slate make the table faster ? I've known about the humidity thing since I started playing fifty years ago. Humidity also effects the chalk and its properties.

What! Hey Dan, We have played billiards in America for over a hundred years without heated tables and the maximum number of cushions a player could hit has always been about twice the amount you could hit. Six and seven rail shots are very common in three cushion. The table you played on may...

The Deacon Irving Crane was a Cadillac salesman.

Great info and pictures, you guys got some nice stuff and deserve a lot of credit for sharing it to educate the public. Will you be doing this for Szamboti, Rambo, Paradise, ect, ect, or because Mark is considered the Balabushka guy the website will stay focused on George Balabushka cues?

my 2 cents I think on the break shot and many other force shots the cue ball is airborn and off the cloth so the friction that normally controls the ball's RPM is not a factor. The cue ball is like a flywheel spinning and while in the air, there is almost no friction to slow it down.
