When serving my Apprenticeship at the White Spot Wednesday night tournaments, I could notice the players that had all the skills but folded up under pressure. My program called for balance between practice and competition. The pressure is all self generated so keeping my mind right like Cool...

I haven't even read any further yet but....that's the Nick name I earned on my last job. So YEAH!👍

The fall will probably kill ya anyway! Is my uh blessing er uh prayer conclusion as I get down to shoot the incredibly hard attempt. 🤷‍♂️ If it's a hard shot hit it hard. It's gotta be hard to be good. Watch the bat go through the ball. (From baseball) You can observe a lot by watching is...

My self knows that I would rather swing than duck. The Gambler self all ways humming the know when to hold 'em tune in the background. The Data self tryst to referee.

Hope for the best but be prepared for the worst. "Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while. " Would be my self depreciation as I picked up the single dollars. Uh Ring game banter. Include, "that ball was afraid of the dark". After the oh so close hanger. "I 'll play left handed ."...

Well a little more than a phrase. 🤷‍♂️ Okay uh, "keep your head down and follow through", keeps it on topic. 😉 The lesson is "YOUR Brain was getting in the way." In The Zone is hard to find at times. Takes me back to Be Here Now. Embrace the tension My best performance on the pool table...

IT AIN'T THE MEAT, it's the Motion. Well it's got a good beat and is fun to dance to.. 🤷‍♂️ Drive for show and putt for dough Well I still recall my self to self talk as I racked for the sixth time in a race to 7, when I had two. Make him (or her😉) earn it. Is the digested version. The full...

Le Pro for sure. A box of 50 might only contain a couple that were hard enough for me. Roger was my cue mechanic and when I went to him for a new tip he would bite the tip to determine how hard it was.

Well if you are want to bank it foot rail to head rail to bottom right pocket, I Don't like it. The second rail normally shortens from the angle of the first rail so that 9 ball looks to be blocking it.(Well for me) Well I don't see anything that I like. My hail Mary would be banking foot...

There was a, well a long time ago and far far away. A house of 4 uh 5 or maybe more pool players. They would spar to stay sharp. The big money was playing Harry one pocket. Harry enjoyed having all empty their pockets and that was the bet per game. Each in the crew gave a different spot. It...

Oh yeah Huebler, oops my bad. Huebler was my first and a real gem.

Meucci was my money maker for a long time. I liked the hardness of the plastic ferrule. McDermott used a much softer plastic in the ferrule giving a softer feel. To each his own. 🤷‍♂️ My personal preference led me to ivory with a Hard leather tip. Waterbuffalo. The stainless joint gives a...

Okay a true story . I was working in A war zone. Iraq. Putting overhead protection over a D Fac (dinning facility). It served 5,000 meals a day. FOB Kalsue. I was standing in line to show I D to the armed guards at the door. Meal time had a long line of armed people. A weapon was required...

The bright white and lack of any visible grain in the ferrules is a big caution. Possibly ivory but ..... A hot needle pressed against the ferrules would expose plastics.

Uh No see post #17. Well it was what's inside MY table but that's a subset of A pool table. 🤷‍♂️
