I agree. Met him at a SBE maybe 6-7 years ago. Very funny, but that was the first day.

He brings a serious amount of emotion to the game. I love watching him. Kinda like waiting for a train wreck.

I already know that SBE is April 9-12 2026 But I haven't been to one since before Covid. Now there's been no action on this thread in three years. Is this event dead? Is it as big as in the past? I'd like to go but is it worth the drive?

Here I'm 76 and happily retired. Mostly shoot pistols and ride motorcycles. I have two tables in the basement GC 4 and a Valley barbox. But I just can't return to fifty years ago. 😕

Ya musta been droolin' on the boobs dude cause that's a revolver not some bottom feeder semi auto.

GC, a few years ago I added a Valley 88 to my basement pool room. It sits next to the GCIV. Because of crowding I started training with 9 ball-8 ball. 4 solids 4 striped 8 centered. It's a form of solo entertainment. Plus I can claim a runout (sometimes) before my back gets creaky.

As a geezer (75) I'm following this thread closely. I can still get pretty low but not for more than a dozen balls. Old age sucks, but beats the alternative. Keep those tips coming in.

Not an instructor but I've only found my "accurate and repeatable stroke" happens with the cue on my middle and ring fingers. Thumb, index and pinky just hang down there. YMMV.

I seem to recall some guy name of Lou who disputed JB's command of CTE.

I'll keep my GC IV. I already own it and that white or black would clash with my basement decor.

I remember that one too. Geezers. Yeah.

Yeah, I said I'd stop paying any attention to the stupidity of some of the posters on NPR. That worked until I woke up this morning. They don't bother me, I just feel sorry for the terminally deranged.

I have two tables, one a Valley 88 and a GC IV. I bought the Valley to have an extra when guys were over for a pool night and were hesitate to use the big table. I use the Valley by myself for practice with the magnetic cue ball to keep in "shape" for when I'm on motorcycle tours and playing...
