I tried building a sneaky from one of the under ten dollar budweiser cues years ago. New shaft, best of everything. New joint. When I played with it, it played better but still solidly in the junk range. The cue value didn't go up by the amount of components plus I had over half a day's time...

A little more cheese, Swiss, to glue that thing together, an egg so it would work any time of day, do I see a little grilled onion already, a little more wouldn't hurt. I know it is a little lightweight of me but I think I would cut it on a diagonal corner to corner for easier handling...

Started with race cars for me. You need all the luck you can get, at least no bad luck. Fireball Roberts was killed driving a green car. Two other people at almost the same time both had green on their cars when they were killed or injured badly. It was twenty years or more before there was...

I think we will see more dark cue butts to go with the CF shafts. The green is what I wouldn't play with, bad ju-ju. Hu

Safeties are rarely perfect, the other person usually has some sort of shot. That is why I deliberately bent the percentages towards aggression long before coming to AZB. No question that I am going for the win if the odds only favor the safety ten or fifteen percent. I have a focus when...

All of these drills are fine. One I used to use came from Joe Tucker. Put the cue ball on the head spot or where a head spot would be. Put an object ball on the foot spot. Put a dollar bill, or up to a hundred if you are flush, under the center diamond on the head rail. Hit the object ball with...

Good one! Risky to pick on the little guys. Two funny stories, same guy. Fred had built a dirt car, put a lot of money in it, and illegal nitrous oxide. Still couldn't win. He was was tall and thin, long on mouth and short on ass. He decided somebody else was at fault after a red flag, jerked...

I have known a handful of men that didn't understand the realities of growing old. One's head came straight out of his shoulders. He could take a nap sitting down and never kink his neck, he didn't have one. A few of them were old school mechanics. Turning wrenches, lifting, all the work...

I never paid much attention to Johnny but even as a youngster I can't remember him having more than a jaybird mouth and a sparrow ass. If I had to make a list of pool players that could fight, johnny wouldn't make the list. The one time we played, I don't remember Johnny saying a word between...

One recent event played by the old pushout rules was/is the Country Calvin Classic or something similar. It is or was played in Monroe Louisiana I believe and used the old pushout rules. There were some matches up on youtube I watched years ago. I don't remember details now. There were a few...

Early in my racing career I had somebody knock me over a dangerous turn almost certain to flip a car and do major damage. That was in the prelim. When the feature started I was timed in six or eight places in front of him. Too far to park my car and wait on him so I bounced off of everyone even...

I noticed that! Didn't say anything because all of Cruise's movies seem alike. He did make two fighter jet movies. Neither one was Days of Thunder, the stock car racing movie. The wild thing. they did have to outlaw driving on the wall after somebody used the wall for some extra room in the real...

Shotguns against big targets are unpredictable. My twelve for social purposes was loaded with a 6 then five rounds of double ought. One night I had a beautiful big healthy heavy coated German Shepherd attack a barrel horse. Twenty thousand dollar horse plus my wife's pet. Third night in a row...
