Sorry Guys Sorry Bill, That is not Steve Gumphrey. Phyllis Gumphrey

I have an original Schuler cue that I love. I have had it for about 14 years and it is beautiful. It is the most solid hitting cue I have ever tried. I tried many cues over about 3 months and kept coming back to this one. It has beautiful birdseye maple with bubinka points, nice bubinka inlay...

I love my Schuler. It has a pro-taper, beautiful birdseye maple w/ bubinka points. Not flashy but I don't need flashy. I tried many cues before I bought this one. Kept coming back to it, bought it about 13 years ago and have no desire to play with any other. Very solid and good all round playing...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY $BILL!!!!! Have a great one! Phyl

I sort of had the same problem when my dad would watch me play. Then I started calling him by his first name. I could relax a little more for some reason, like he was (sort of) just another person. I introduced him to some folks as Ed - not as my father. He talked to them and it was somehow...

I had to reply to this one since I am in the aforementioned category of being large breasted. There is no way around them guys. HOWEVER; if anyone has noticed, they don't necessarily get in the way for a normal shot. The only time there is a slight problem is on the break or maybe a ...

Here is your diagram for dummys - which is the basic way I taught my son who is a true dummy!! ANyway, this is my elementary approach. Place the CB in front of the corner pocket. Line up an object ball so that it is about an inch from the rail and when you hit it, it will hit in line with the...

That info is on page 9. PG

DAMN!!! Show me a picture!!! Phyl

I hope you are wrong too. What would be the point of being in the WPBA if you can't play where you want to. Is it all about pool or is it about stupid politics of the greedy kind?? Phyllis Glad to be an amature

When I was learning the game many moons ago, I was told to always think ahead. Nobody mentioned that here. In 8 ball, alot of (especially league) players don't think ahead because there is a choice of balls to shoot. Indeed that has played into my own strategy; if I get out of line, I have a...

I only play 8 ball in the leagues as well - all 4 teams. I never played 8 ball until I joined the leagues however. I was always a 9 ball or One Pocket player until I got roped into the league. I haven't been able to play on our 9 ball league because it is on Sunday evenings (when I really am...

I know that wearing heels any higher than 2-3" requires a big adjustment even for a relatively short person like myself. You have to either bend your knees alot or stand back more to keep the correct or your usual line of sight. It can be uncomfortable. Naturally, this is just my opinion stated...

Hi, Yes, I am in Terry's region and play on 2 APA teams in Fred-neck. I saw him recently when Mike Massey was in town doing trick shot exhibitions. He still remembered me from when I was a division rep out in the boonies of Frederick county. Not sure if I liked being remembered or not...
