    Girl Prodigy???

    The first thing I noticed was her amazing form/mechanics. She's got a head start over the competition with her natural good mechanics. Wow, I really see her being an incredible player if she wants it badly enough. Obviously she'll need some seasoning, but she could easily become a world champ if...

    Cats and pool tables?

    LOL, funny story. I used to have cats & a pool table. They always jumped on it & it pissed me off :angry: I'd even shoot a ball at their feet (not hard) hoping they'd get the picture. I began to shoot a little harder. Still, it wouldn't stop them. They're fascinated by balls rolling around. My...

    Dennis Searing

    I'm not quite sure why Searing cues are as expensive as they are. Don't get me wrong, though, I've hit with a couple & I love the way they hit. My personal opinion, Searing cues are top 3, so you won't be disappointed if you owned one. Dennis is definitely a perfectionist when it comes to his...

    Who Has Never Missed A Ball In Hand Shot?

    I know I have!! I think anyone who's played 9-ball for a long time has missed a BIH at least once in their life. Whether it came by miscue, being too drunk (lol) or simply taking it for granted/not paying attention. I'm going to go out on a limb & say that even the greatest of all time, Efren...

    Efren uncorks a HUGE stroke -- bends the cue ball! (36-second clip)

    I saw this for the first time about a month ago, thanks for posting it...never gets old! It was a pretty good stroke he put on it, but what's more impressive than the stroke is that fact that he thought about shooting it that way. The first time I saw it, I was scratching my head :confused...

    Derby 9ball rack mechanics

    Exactly! I respect Earl a ton. I don't always care for his behavior, but (imo) he's right about the break, jump sticks, etc..

    Derby 9ball rack mechanics

    9-ball has become a joke with all of the rack mechanics out there. When two players who know how to manipulate the rack play each other, it's no longer a game of skill, imo. Instead, it turns into a "who can cheat rack better" game. I liked Earl's idea when he played a Tar match, 10-ball on a...

    John Burton Sour Grapes...Really!!!

    I agree with a post Baxter made earlier. I think it's a bit silly to post others private messages on here. I don't know. Just my 2 cents. Hopefully whatever the dispute is over can get resolved :smile2:

    Pool scene in the Toronto area?

    Thanks for your reply, Seether. I've been here in Toronto (Etobicoke) for almost a week now, and still haven't gotten out to a pool room! It sucks not having a car 24/7, so the subways/buses will have to do. I've never been to Edmonton...heck, I've never been outside Ontario as far as Canada...

    Pool scene in the Toronto area?

    Hi. I'm originally from Toronto, but have been living in the States for the past 10+ years. So I'm pretty clueless as to where's a good place to play in the Toronto area. I'm in Etobicoke now & would like to get my pool fix :grin: Preferably, a place in the Etobicoke/Mississauga/Toronto area...

    Steve Cook

    I wrote 2 long stories about Steve Cook & they didn't submit because it took too long!! Grrrr........I give up! LOL. I'll just sum it up.. Steve Cook was the most humble person/champion on the pool table I've ever met! He was my idol because of how humble he was & how good he played. I spent a...

    Help? Identifying Brunswick-Balke-Collender Cue

    Hello. I DO know what kind of cue this is, but where I'm not sure is the value (ballpark.) I know this is the best site to ask since there are many cue dealers/traders/makers on here. Sorry if this is in the wrong category. I will have it moved to the "for sale" category once I get a little...
