    David Grau

    Dave is one hell of a player. He’s consistent on the Joss tour but Hatch seems to own that tour. Dave and I were in a tavern league on the same team in 1997. You could see it in him then. Ironically, he wasn’t 21 then and had to get permission from the owners. Most of the time we didn’t...

    Why do certain pros like prefer Gold Crowns?

    I listened in on Earl and Keith M at a small tournament in Rochester. They both were of the opinion that GC's as set up at this tournament were perfect. When asked why they felt this way Keith says "It's a GC". Earl says "Yep, it's a GC, enough said". These guys can play on anything but back...

    Looking for stills of one pocket breaks

    Woody, Sounds like "winning one pocket" to me. If it's not in there I'll eat the book. Paul

    My New Gold Crown I

    Try using a wax on the rails. No abrasives in the wax, petroleum based carnuba or even cue wax. Carefull by the cloth, don't get wax on any part of the cloth. Then use a countertop polish. Pledge may leave too much residue. Paul..........has tried many things on the rails

    new to the boards

    That was the other thing about the Green Room. Never saw floors so far off kilter but the tables played great. Saw more than a little arguing at the shuffleboard table. And they allow you to bring your dog in, never saw a dog get out of line there. Funny place that Green Room...........Paul

    new to the boards

    I played Rodney at Paul Babinue's place in Raliegh/Durham area, Cary maybe. Paul treated me real good too. I was on the company's dime and he hid my reeceipts well for me. Went to the Green Room in Durham, what a throwback place. Paul......retired

    BHE on a 9 Ball Break

    Yes If your pivont point matches your grip point at impact any off center hit on the cue ball still hits the 1 ball flush. Saw it on the new VEOP Dr Dave video Paul Mon.......... one of the more than few things I got out of this video but never saw in print on a forum. But is so obvious...

    Fels

    I own Mastering Pool. The pages devoted to "inside english" changed forever how I thought about and use it. I love insdie english now and prefer it to outside. Most opposite of what others feel, IMO. I don't think his take on it gets discussed much, if at all. Paul Mon

    Predator Shaft

    Years ago I cracked a ferrule. You could barely hear it and only one very soft shots. Shane at the time repaired, but they turned it down and I complained to Shane at SBE that I could not play with it so small in diameter. He then sent me a demo from SBE a few weeks later. I don't remember...
