I gambled with him in Bangkok when he was a teenager. He was an unknown and a local stakehorse flew him in for action. I said at the time he was a future World Champion. One of the worst beatings I've ever had...

There are collectors of cue maker business cards, myself included. I'm pretty sure I have at least one signed Burton Spain card, maybe even 3 ? A collector would pay $75-$100 for that card.

Joe Porper told me 20 years ago that Brillianize is best. I use it to this day :)

I used to smoke Cuban cigars every day. Now I only smoke 2 or 3 a month. Cuaba is one of the obscure Cuban cigar brands that most people have never heard of, and I happen to like. I'm also known in the cue world, and the name Cuaba sounds like a play on the word cue. My avatar pic is taken...

I found it :) Took a few rough pics with my iPhone :)

Yes I do. I'll have to go find it. I haven't looked at it in years. I'm not trying to sell it though... Actually the author of all 3 Blue Books. That would be me :)

My buddy who has a pool room in Zurich Switzerland uses his regularly and loves it. From his recommendation, I got one for my home room. I rarely use it, but when I do, my guests are usually impressed. It even speaks to you (in Chinese.) I don't like to support China, but nobody else makes a...

I lived in Monmouth for 17 years. I now live north of Galesburg, in the country.

Very sorry to hear. I was hoping I would get to meet him someday. He is still a legend in Monmouth Illinois...

The game is far more enjoyable when you are improving. I still love to play, but I have no motivation to practice now that my game is in decline.

In a key set during one of the final matches at a team tournament I played in, one of the team members sat by a window and caught the sun with his watch crystal. During critical shots he would flash the reflection in the opposing shooter's eyes. When someone figured out what was going on, it...

Amazing documentary. Thank you so much for the link…

I was on my way back from a tournament in L.A. when I stopped to stay in a small town in Utah. I stopped in at the local tavern that had about 4 tables, and they were having a tournament that night. No big deal, I think the entry was about $10 and I think it was limited to 16. I played a few...
