Not ant pool rooms in Springfield Arkansas. They did get a convience store/ gas station a few years back though. Guessing you had the wrong state?

Nice! Good explanations

I like this idea the best.:thumbup::thumbup: Around here anyway, you did the right thing. If you got the table you got the table. Not your fault he was ignorant of how things work. At least now he knows. You gave him a free pool lesson!

Oh that's the 'ol stroke- slip -stroke. ( Combination of the stroke slip and the slip stroke.) Works even better with a little swipe thrown in there... :rolleyes:

I don't touch the floor with my cue or anything but for many many years I have practiced long straight in shots with my eyes closed or head turned. I was taught this by an old time hustler, Cotton Thomas (RIP), as a good way to get your stroke tuned up. I think most people here that have never...

Cool story! Welcome aboard. Hope you get a lot of enjoyment with your new Gus!

That kinda sums me up lol. In my early 60's now and can't do anything as good anymore, not just pool. I accept it though and still like to play. Rheumatoid arthritis doesn't help any though and 30 minutes on my home table is about all I want at a time.

Now I don't know if I'm coming or going.... :confused:
