During my early yrs, I'd always find one ''off the wall'' that worked just fine. It will help you choose one if you make that choice. Weight & shaft thickness are different.

This was a non alcoholic poor room for kids. First ever in CO.

At 19 seeing Ronnie Allen/play/shoot/talk/walk/and the way he dressed, I compared em to Jack Nicklaus. Nice smile, engaging, good looking had a great character.... also he liked to play $ome golf in the day, of course pool and night at Janscos.

They forgot to give us the final score??? They did for Tevez's matches. Below copy/paste. In the extended race-to-13 in the final, Atencio and Tevez were separated by a single, FargoRate point; advantage to Atencio, at 786, Tevez at 785. The FargoRate calculations separated them by decimal...

''I had a hard time with him.'' Well said Jay.... it's what I would of thought. Did Cole play Ed Kelly?

I moved lived/played/worked there in the 70's. Lived on Laguna off Vanness close to the Bus Stop, Jim Barbers 4x8 bar box trap bar, big cue ball. I tried to beat Searcy at the palace, that didn't go well. Makes me wonder if Cole played Searcy?

When Cole came thru Carbondale with Sizemore, I beat em out of 80$ in 68. :) I was 19 then.... To a college student, that was enough money to buy groceries for two weeks. I got em on a Gaff table, every rail had different speeds. We played for about an hour. He and David had more important...

I know, but I saw him do this many times with all shots. Ultimate's cameras have very good positioning at times. Small pit and small table helps allot.

Here's something that few think about. It cost me my business. I put my pool room in a center location around 3 high schools. One was 3 miles away, another 6 and and another 5 miles away. And I only hired adults.... Nice thing about teenagers one of em always has a car. Duh. On weekend...

Went to U Tube watched his match with Hatch. I've always heard he looks at the CB last. That's not what I saw in this match.

Hit the cue ball to the right? Slightly missed the shot? Right of the pocket? Right of the Target? Slightly missed what, left or right? Were your misses always the same?
