I didn't know that.

Professional Cuesports League(premier). 7:00 PM pct, channel ESPNEWSHD, with Jeanette, Jennifer Barretta, Johnny Archer, Fedor Gorst.

About 6 mos. ago I replied to a thread espousing this very same technique as a means of helping the guy reduce his tendency to squeeze the cue too hard when stroking the cb. Never heard back from him. Oh, this thread doesn't belong on your thread. I should have replied to op.

I prefer 1 pkt, but I had a better win percentage with 9 ball. Luck factor probably.

I could rattle off names from the Mosconi era to all the crop of ne'er missers, but I'll go with 2 memorable ones from my early Navy yrs. Lots of people have heard of Denny Searcey. few have seen him. I watched him weekly in 9 ball tourneys in the Silicon valley. Tragic he died so early...

Please post a drawing!

I have no reason to think it was Canadian.

Early 70's, one of the nicest cues nobody's ever heard of...a Lord and Stanley, I think . It had an early example of quick joints, a quarter turn, very solid. I've tried to find any info on it, no luck...like it never existed.

It's not bad...better than some other pool movies I've seen. Boy was I surprised when one pocket was the central game. I recommend it, although it's pretty slow.

If you build it......

Like: JJ, Frost, Granier, Incardona(underrated?), Danny's ok except for irritating calls....was he ever right on balls going in? Don't like: Varner,omg his laugh...way too loud, Earl...mumbler and hard to understand.

I had 7 shafts with my old Palmer Hoppe model, shafts measuring from 57.5" to I think 60". The 60" felt so good..I really wanted it to work, but after much experimentation finally settled on 57.5. The 60" gave me an incredible aiming line, but I couldn't make shite.

I 3F'ed a guy yrs. ago in USPPA. And he was the best player there. He never spoke to me, or even looked at me after that. It was so easy to 3f him...there was a small clump of balls on the rail, and I kept feathering the 3b and sending cb way down the table. No way anybody could've prevented...

The only thing I've tried is using a striped ball in place of a cb, shooting at balls at various angles and keeping the stripe wobble to a minimum.

Hot damn! Yeah, that's it. Now how to use it. Thanks.
