Love this. I thought Dean has resurrected by your sales pitch. :D

First time I saw him play was in that southern bar table tournament, which he won. He had that pretty SW cue and a cool playing style. Next thing I know he won the US OPEN 9 Ball championship. I sure hope I get to see him battling on the tournament trail again.

Jacoby products are A++++ - agree with you!

RIP to a marvelous player!

Dry paper towel. Wipe the cue down after use for the day. I like my shaft(s) to get seasoned.

Buddy Hall said it didn't matter because you're only using the edge of your tip.

I can remember figuring out inside english, and how useful it could be for position play. Man, I was spinning everything with inside for a good year, LOL.

Yes, outside was always referred to as "helping" english when I was growing up.

Agreed. To a new player i would advise to learn on the center axis of the cue ball. Get proficient with your stroke and fundamentals. Then start exploring english, because at that point you would truly understand how spin affects the cue ball/object balls.

I just wanted to add that I'm super impressed by Nick Varner who is now 70+ years old. He was always a business man, even as a pro player. He would order cues made to his specs from JOSS early on, and then sell them himself to pool rooms around the country building relationships/networks along...

Great point!!

Elaborate (please).

We all know Fatboy is a gazillionaire - but I'm referring to pro players. I've always heard Billy was triple smart in whatever endeavor he pursued.

That's right! Great call!
