It is a shame that there was hardly any mention of it on the News, in the papers and etc.

I have Simonis Blue on my table and use Orange Chalk. Why? Because I want to see the chalk. After each rack I go over the chalk marks with a micro fiber cloth and the chalk is picked up by the clot. I also take my regular floor vacuum and run it across my table about once per week and use...

0 my wife and I have both. We bought them from this site: https://replicapatekphilippe.io/ Seriously we do have the real deal of both brands. Patek are very difficult to get and Rolex are available. To get either one you have to now be a previous buyer for the Patek or a good customer...

I have an old Brunswick 9 ft table that was made to the BCA standards at the time. 5 1/4 in corner pockets and 1 1/4 ledge. Players come over and laugh saying that it will be easy because of the buckets. They are then surprised because the balls will rattle the pockets and pop out. There...

i bought a SW off Roy of Indy Cues around 2006. He lived in Indiana and has died in 2017 . After buying that I put my name on the list at SW. At the time the rumor was about a 4 year wait. It took many years before Laurie contacted me by Email. I never thought it would happen. Filled...

I have an old 9 ft Brunswick Heritage. It came with pockets that were made to the standard BCA specs at that time. The corner pockets are 5 1/4 in with a 1 1/8 shelve. People come over and remark how easy the table is with the bucket pockets until they play on it. The balls will rattle...

Back in the 60s my father bought a used Brunswick Balke Collender table. It had a set of Centennial Balls. There were 2 cue balls. The cue ball was ivory and the other ball was probably clay. It was used as a break ball to save the ivory ball from the damage. Today I still use a break...

It looks as if Scruggs, Josswest (Biil Stroud), and Richard Black have fell off of the radar. 🎱

Play 3 ball. Anti up and determine the amount paid for each shot to make all 3 balls during your turn. If there is a tie for the lowest score the pot rolls over. And everyone antis up again and etc until there is no ties. Many times you will need 2 shots to win. Making 2 balls break...

At the Allen Hopkins Expo a few years ago a local short stop was happy that he qualified to play in the seniors tournament. After he said it was a lot tougher than he thought as those old guys were way better than those playing in the regular tournament. He was in the money in the regular...

I don’t care if they are from the USA or not. Efren wasn’t along with all of the other great Philippinos that dominated. Then all of the others that came from Europe, Asia, Canada, and England. They are all great players and I enjoy watching and cheering for them. I just love watching...

There are 2 different sizes in 8 ft table. 44 x 88 and 46 x 92. Make sure you get the one that will fit in your space if you decide on getting a 8 ft

A friend of mine that has now passed away had a custom cue made by Richard Black. He gave Richard the specs he wanted. It was a very nice Balabuska design style cue. He got the cue and the balance point wasn‘t where he wanted and the weight was off his specs. He called Richard and...

Don‘t know about the best as there are many to choose from but the worse has to be Mitch Laurance

Old Master Chalk and Triangle Tips

I read that if you took a billiard ball and expanded it to be the same size as the earth it would have deeper craters and higher mountains and not be as round

What hurts the balls is if the cloth is full of chalk. The chalk on the table acts like sandpaper. It the cloth is just worn there isn’t any problem. I played on some tables that were so loaded up my bridge hand would get blue and the table was very slow as if rolling a ball thru mud. The...

Thanks Sorry to hear that. It seemed odd that he would lose that early and not do a buy in 🎱

What happened to Scott Frost. It looks as if he lost in the 3rd round and didn’t do a buy in? 🎱

One of the best and most entertaining matches was years ago at the Glass City open in Toledo It was the last match of the night around 11:30 and featured Keith against Earl. Need not say anymore, but I will. Keith was helping Bud stay in business and basically took a sip between every shot...
