WOW! This is shocking. We were friends/combatants for almost 50 years. I'm writing this and can't believe it. My condolences to Frank's family. R.I.P. Frank. See when it's my turn.

It's the 3C version of Ball first back-cut on a Pool table. But a little more difficult, because the CB must contact the, long, short and long rail to score. Also I just found the video from the day after the 1992 Nationals at Chris Billiards when Deno Andrews and Mike Melloy videoed my Dad and...

On table 13 (5'x10') table in Bensingers in front of the lunch counter, I personally have seen Bugs run '8 & out' playing full rack banks two dozen times. Once on the tournament table (Gold Crown 1), this table always played a little wet. Bugs ran a 15 followed up by a 12 and 8 practicing. In...

A.E Schmidt 3C tables from ST. Louis. The weren't bad.

Who saw him there alive? Have You personally spoke to Eddie or seen him? I don't know anyone in Vegas that has seen him for 2+ years. One of these people used to live with Eddie years ago. Eddie's gofer/runner in Vegas for many years awhile back went to his apt. to find the Police there. When...

In the late 60's, Bud Harris from Frisco was a student of Welker Cochran who was a student of Professor Perkins said, "The Eufalua Kid was the Best One Pocket player around."

No One in the last 2+ years. He's been dead as Disco, but no one will talk about it.

In plain English! The players that use more of their wrists give more rotation to the cue as it is swung back and forth. You may want to use a finger grip when applying maximum effect to the cue ball, (the cue ball maintains spin on 3 or more cushions.) Just at the point before contacting the...

From an awkward time in American 3 cushion, (late 60's - early 90's). As far as I know there are Only 2 American born Top 3C players still alive, George Ashby and myself. I don't believe Frank Torres is American born.

So, You advocate playing 3C with a 9.5-10mm tip? The smallest tips used in 'Carom' billiards is11.5 normally.

YOU have NO facts to boast this claim! Mosconi ran 98% of the balls he made in the side-pockets to the rack.

One thing to note in 3 of these matches. Scott wants his opponents to stop him at 6 balls! Pretty tough to stop a guy that advocates for, 'Power/Aggressive 1 pocket.'

So far, it looks like NO one knows what they are talking about when it comes to, 'Country' whom hung around the 'Rack' in Detroit. He ws involved in some huge scores at the Rack. His real name was, Charles Monroe. I knew him well. He was one of the Best Black Hustlers of all time. Great 'Lemon'...

With all this public bragging about their personal finances, I hope they are up to snuff with their taxes.

FC is the Magoo when it comes to Billiards! ALL forms of 'Billiards.'
