There was a short period where my left hand was my stall. 🤷‍♂️ Well through practice and forged in Fire practice in the one and two dollar 9 ball ring game. It didn't take long for even lefty kicked out of the game. 🤷‍♂️ Now Lefty gets the call when it's....the bottom of the 9th. The bases are...

Well, I never claimed Pro but Semi, as I supplemented my income with $5 tournaments and ring games. A steady small income with an occasional big score. 1100 was my best one night score that was playing 3 ball. 🤷‍♂️

It looks better from a distance. 😉 The rack area is showing uh discoloration of the cloth from hands racking. Mike Sentz was a friend er good friend 🤷‍♂️ in my Tacoma rise through the ranks days. 🤔 80s somewhere in there...😉 Mike's home table showed incredible tracks for his practice regimen...

I did wash the cloth before reusing. Amazing how much chalk dust was in the cloth.

The cloth on my table is some that I salvaged from the garbage. The pool room in Sun City West recovered tables on a schedule so the removed cloth still has many hours play. Taking the cloth from a 9 foot table to an 8 foot table gives enough cut off to cover the rails too. I did have to get...

Mix in the baby powder as well.

I currently invest an hour most mornings to a fitness program. As I am approaching 75 the fitness maintenance is my goal. The pool table in my shop provides the fitness equipment that I employ. The barbells and bicycle have long since been mothballed.

Ah Hah!!! Great minds think alike. Well for sure the frequency of that situation arising for him was not nearly as often as it arose for me. 🤷‍♂️ HIT 'EM HARD!!!!! and dont forget the WISH THEM WELL part. Sometimes I take a knee as soon as the shot is away. 😉

My Plan included the illusions of luck. it keeps the guppies in the game a little longer. "Back in The Day", 😉 I could make a little money in the little ring games. Playing wild and crazy rides on the money kept the field entertained and on the hook. Break and run a rack and the game was over...

A proper plan considers any element of luck as well. 🤷‍♂️ In playing a safety I plan on leaving a difficult situation. With a little luck it could be an impossible situation. The numbers don't lie . Through practice I know generally what my chances are of execution on a given attempt. Nothing...

Bad Luck????? 😉

My method is a 3 legged stool. Study Practice Compete I studied Efren, well I studied all the top players. I recall a statement by Efren indicating that he watched the weaker players to find fluked shots that he could practice and add to his arsenal. My Hit 'em hard and wish them well tactic...

Okay Sooooo back on topic, kinda 😉 The skill set is to have them believe that it's luck. 😉 🤷‍♂️ I never stalled but had different gears.shrug.

I was a Boy Scout that helped create a walking path to the grandstands when he gave this dedication. The security included snipers at the tree lines. Several choppers came in as part of security procedures. I was 12 years old. 🤷‍♂️ A pretty big deal for a kid from Douglas City. 😉
