A couple of years ago I was in Club Billiards in Wichita. A friend introduced me to Randy. I got a chance to hit with one of his cues. I instantly fell in love with it. It was one of the most solid hitting cues I've ever played with. I have played with a multitude of cues over the 50 years Ive...

I hardly ever come to azbilliards anymore. But just out of the blue I punched n Eddy Koelleins name, spell wrong of course on the internet and your response popped up from last month. Thank you for the response. I had a real soft spot for Eddie. Used to play him all the time on Thompson Lane...

ROFLMAO!!! nice.....:D

The Mud Ball is not a Big Rock... I know a lot of people refer to the big rock now as the mudball.I played out of Omaha during the mid 70'sthrough the 80's. I played all over but more in that region. We played a lotwith the Big Rock, we also played with the Magneto ball, Blue dot, Red dot among...

Perhaps that day is now... That is the point after all, is it not? Is Shane the favorite? Of course he is, but every champion is always the favorite until he got beat. That's the very nature of it,.... the best is the best until some becomes better....

I have one that I want back badly and I have posted on here trying to locate it. The cue was a Richard Benson that I got from John Shuput, Omaha John. It was the cue he used when he won The Miller Lite World Series of Tavern Pool. It was a simple looking cue, not much ginger bread on it. It had...

I bought it for my table. A good investment. It works great and takes only a few minutes to complete the task

I use this Armor All 2hp shop vac. It works very good.

When I was in my early 20's I would keep various cue balls in my vehicle, Mud ball, Magneto, Big rock etc. I would find a bar midweek and see which cue ball they had and which one of my other cue balls would work on that table. Once I had found the right ball I would put in some practice. I...

Ive always put my chalk "masters" in my pocket ever since I first started playing and I still do. Simply part of my pre-shot routine. I played at a very fast pace. It helped to slow me down if only minutely. Apparently I safeguarded myself against such a ploy....

If it's from Alabama I'm sure it is faster..... :grin:

This is my home room. I play out of Club Billiards. Tiny owned it for several years. He ran a very good Pool Hall. Recently Tiny passed away. The new owner is doing everything he can to step it up a notch or several notches. He is making a sizable investment and taking substantial risk to do so...

Interesting. I'll look into that

I have known both since the 1970's. John is my favorite pool player who ever lived and my long time friend. I have enormous respect for Mike. Years ago Mike once told me that he had never played a game of pool for fun in his life. Both he and John had a no nonsense , professional approach to the...
