I have Richard's book and am inquiring about any information that has been accumulated on his insights?

The Hustler Clip Very interesting, thanks for sharing. I have always thought the movie was about Sara Parker, at least to me......

So have I, have a Clint Putman with the exact trim rings, but Clint signs his under the bumper? The veneers look like French veneers and have that translucent appearance. I own a Jimmie Ingram made with a Szamboti blank and it looks identical to this one, another question mark? Thanks for the...

I just purchase a cue from a friend and the inkling is that it is a Balabushka, remember the word, "inkling". I've had three Balabushka's in my hand, two were purchased from George at his shop and one was purchased in Kokomo, IN, years ago. The cue is as solid and straight as you'd want, it...

I purchased a 12 pack of various waxes a couple of years ago and for me, Mother's Clean and Wax is it. All I do is wipe it on and wipe it off for my shafts. For balls I wipe it on, let it sit till it hazes, wipe it off with a plain old wash rag and have yet to find anything to beat it.

Just looking for any info on a cuemaker named Keaggy? Have one, know he made cues out in the west, I think Arizona.

Jointed Cue closure Sad to hear that bit of news, never been there but am not happy with pool room closures. I didn't know Terry but have one of his cues and had it validated with his son David. It's so ironic that we have so many pool players without what you would call national support for...

I just found out about this book and would love to have a copy, Larry Smith in Marion, IN...........

The Star Pool Room which was in the basement of the old Spencer Hotel in Marion, IN. Also Dusty's which was in a corner section of an alley in downtown Marion.

Thanks for the response, since retirement I've been on a chase to improve my game, slowly but surely I am starting to see and time is my only enemy. Wouldn't it be wonderful to roll back the years.........

Kind of and kind of not, I read an article that was descriptive a year ago or so and just wanted to get somebodies insight...........Larry

Using the cloth for a visual, I read an article a year ago on it and can't find it, hoping someone on AZ can help.........

Occasionally I will use the table cloth to ascertain the Cue Ball line to a pocket or a rail, anyone out there know about any links, books or videos related? Thanks in advance, I know there's a big crowd out there who has the info...........Larry

I have over 80 cues and try to play with them all, a task for sure. My question is about the evolvement of tapering a shaft to the conical design with a pro-taper? Just looking for responses of the why it came about and purpose, curious 101 I guess.........Larry in cold Indiana

Salux, I've been working on your Aiming and have found it intriguing. Have been a CP2CP Aimer for a long time and believe eventually I'll go right back to it, but with these useful insights to get a better "know" of how to line up the shot at hand. So far I've logged in about 20 hours on the...
