    The Hustlers Week 3: Episode 5 Thread

    Unbelievably, good for pool?!! Well-----I guess you have to say, "who would even believe that any T.V. station would air a show about pool?" (i.m.h.o.) This will give the public something about this sport that, they, the non-pool playing, general public "may be able to watch, enjoy, and...

    Best tip I've played with for years..........

    "Play-ability range!" I've been installing these tips from "the jump," probably over 100 in a very small market. There have been "no complaints," and in a pool room that's unheard of!! The thing is, though, the real achievement in this product is being somewhat overlooked, (I.M.H.O.) the...

    Freddy the beard has left us

    "Bank-on-Brother!!!" "Well that very eloquently, about says it all, Gene." I'd also like to add my condolences to family and friends everywhere, Freddy certainly was an "original." It's an honor to have co-commentated a couple of matches with him in the ACCU-STATS booth at D.C.C. over the...

    Brandon Shuff on Bonus Ball

    In attendance? Yeah, I was there, and at the Open when Larry preached in the bar every night before B.B. began in earnest (after postponing) again and again. The fans are always the issue and the reason this sport of pocket billiards needs to solidify on a pro presence for T.V.. You really...

    Brandon Shuff on Bonus Ball

    "Improvised synopsis of the L.O.L." .....well the L.O.L. says a lot about the Money transfer in the pool world! You'd have to be one of the chosen players though to really "not see" that Bonus Ball is a war against POOL! Greg Sullivan had a plan for the Bigfoot Ten Ball that would have...

    Hasta la vista! ........is this the end??? How I would hope not, but then again, the world of pro pool seems to be imploding all around those of us who love this sport. I wish you all the best as you go forward to whatever it is you chose to pursue. However, know this, your impact on this...

    Fallacious Logic=The Term Squirt( a Strawman Arguement) The term "squirt" has it's origin with the same Bob Meucci. Now Bob was"trying" to correctly identify the more accurate term "swerve" describing the cue-ball path after impact. It's a formula that include's, the friction co-efficient of...

    A little bit of History on Low Deflection term As I personally remember it, the very first time I heard anyone talking about shaft deflection, it was Bob Meucci, and I believe he coined that "Low D" term. The time period was the early part of 83 or 84, and it was in regards to how he stated...

    LOW D, miss diagnosed!!! There's something confusing in the description, Low Deflection Shaft. The issue is cue-ball squirt being described as "shaft deflection." Here's where the problem begins with this miss diagnosed term, Low Deflection shaft. Cue-ball squirt "IS" the issue, and it is...

I like the Declaration Of Independence and the following document, Our Constitution. Those documents still give "ALL" the royalty of Europe...

    A different perspective on the Mosconi Cup

    Compasion One has only to listen, and your compassion can almost be "felt!" But here's the thing, when you try as many different "FAILURES" as U.S. players have executed for the last 30 odd years alone, how can anyone expect R-E-S-P-E-C-T now, as it all melts away beneath them? (The old, if...
