If they picked their spots right sure they could have made money. Most of the really easy/sweet money was in the bars and the good...

Back in the day a 'real' ss could flat play. Would beat any local wanna-be and it took a good player to beat them. They often traveled...

Set 2: 6-10, race to 10 score. I missed the 8-9 transition only once. So the 10 min practice on that transition really helped...

Races to 10 (table beads). Set 1: 2-10 I missed a straight in 9, and cut the 8 with a perfect angle too thin twice getting on the 9...

I just did it on the first try on a GC4 at the hall 30 sec ago! I’m actually shocked. I’ll keep trying it for the next hr or so.

Has anyone seen the 1 piece slate version? Are the feet in the same place? I just played exclusively on Diamond pro-ams for 4 months. I...

Come to my thread and do the 6 pointed star with me. I'll try this exact layout next practice session. This should be easier than the 6...

I did it again last night, this time on a 7' Diamond. I left about 1/4" to the rail instead of 1/8" this time. With the 1/8", the gutter...
