    antique billiard balls

    You must be a gold member, who reads all..... Your opinion vs mine. Yes, I realized it was 2yrs old. I don't come around often, nor post. Ginky was a friend of mine, truly loved and revered by many..... Not an angel, I don't know any. It just poked me when I saw it and considered replying...

    antique billiard balls

    Why Here?? Your post really struck a nerve with me as my both my birthday and your post are dated August 7th. It just so happens that Ginky's birthday was August 8th. He would have been 41. Your post was absolutely tasteless and insensitive and CERTAINLY did not belong in this forum! RIP George

    RAXX - "devil table" practice

    Table 3 in Steinway.... Hey Steve... I love the table in Raxx plays great! Good to practice on... but table 3 in Steinway, I believe, is tougher. Have you ever played on it?? Try it, you'll love it... or hate it. Jay

    Ever go to sleep thinking of pool shots?

    For sure!! I think all of us "degenerate" players do. I've been dreaming about pool and billirds as long as I can remember! The question is though, do you still dream about Sex too? Of course! Enjoy!

    An Idea For Room Owners

    Free Pool School! Great Idea Years ago in Chelsea Billiards in NYC they used to have FREE Pool School every day I believe, at least Mon-Fri. It started at 4:00 or 5:00 PM and ran a couple of hours. It was a great success, novices showing up regularly and hopefully staying after to play more...

    Chastise Ermanno Scalas?...no more USBA for me.

    You are the Man Steve! You are the man sir! I admire your skill, tact and diplomacy in dealing with many of the the issues at hand. I'm not suggesting that you will resolve "the issue" but I'm sure your input has been solicited. You are not recessarily the man next in line for the open...

    Chastise Ermanno Scalas?...no more USBA for me.

    We non-members... would like to see... Yes Please display the EMails in question. We non, but possibly soon to be, members are quite interested in the origin(s) of this issue. Without them, it seems, we only have a third of the story. Thanks Jay

    Another Day in Paradise

    Just to confirm... That was a one time only occurance. That night was totally out of character for me. Throughout my life I've played tough action and and quite often been the spotter and not the spottee. Granted, I pick my games and don't step up much, one is allowed that option. Take care

    Another Day in Paradise

    A long belated apology.... Hey Tom, My name is Jay. Years ago I was up in World Class Billiards while on a business trip and met a fellow who I allowed to take me to Country Club Billiards in Chelmsford, I believe, and hustle me into the tournament at a "C". I was certainly not a "C", but...

    Good Advice The Greatest thing that I've read here, somewhere here on AZB is "Don't think in the shooting position and don't shoot in the thinking position" Good stuff
