Battery Show - Huntington Place. Ends this afternoon .

I keep thinking you wanna have three tips on the stick, with some random tip between an elk master and a triangle (or a LePro). Go go keep going.

In 2025 AD, there are still bars across the USA that have the oversized cueball, and patrons enjoy playing, oblivious of how good this game could be played. I grew up with the big ball, and it’s a memory. Not necessarily good or bad, but it’s a memory. Falls Sports Lounge Home of Dearborn’s...

Sinuca phoentically and linguistically comes from the word snooker, if it wasn’t obvious

Artistically, I put LAARA up there with Eastwood. But she doesn’t build the cases, so she isnt considered a case maker. For protection, I’m going with JB.

Kazakis through to the final. Shane hadn’t missed the back of the cup until his missed the whole pocket on the 13th or 14th. I only saw the last set, and although Kazakis played strong, he wasn’t as clean as Shane. Shane got one big roll after a long jump shot. Kazikes bumped a few balls...

I don’t know what this means. Can someone decipher?

Good. You misread. I was correct. Let’s move on. I’m sure trob can appreciate the nitpicking information. He’s been around long enough.

Efren was never in contention for straightest shooter.

I can’t make any sense of what you’re saying or asking. I’m gonna assume you misread what I responded to in trob’s post. Read it closely again. You’ll see I am 100% correct. Chalk pre-dates tips. At one time, there was no chalk. The nitpick I mentioned is because trob clearly insinuates that...
