My PFD is the best hitting cue I ever had, over my Schons, Lambroses and South Wests. Happy birthday Paul! Wishing many more years of healthy and productive life!

Accu-stats have a video of him playing Frankie Hernandez in the 2003 U.S. Open 9-ball. That's an awesome match. John played a near perfect 9-ball. Just wonder whether that was the guy's regular speed...

The only other info I have on this guy is that he finished 8th in the 2005 DCC One Pocket division (same year as his 4th place finish in Reno), finished 5th in Reno the year before (SRO 40) and shared 7th place with Johnny Archer at Steve Mizerak Championship in 2007. Can't put a name to a face...

Cheers! I agree, Grady and Billy in the booth together were always fun to hear. Quite a few of their exchanges stand out in my memory. I do recall seeing a match from SRO11 between Buddy and Grady (Grady whitewashed Buddy 11-0) where Billy and Grady do a voice-over player review. Billy asked...

I've just realised that the table gets messed up on my iphone and in tapatalk so here's a screenshot for those accessing the forum through smartphones.

Thank you for your appreciative comments Jay. A lot of my time went into this as this information has been mostly collated from various magazines due to a lack of coverage on the internet. I would also like to thank Bob Jewett for providing input on missing years. Do you know why the...

Here's a complete list of the 1st-4th place finishers in all of the Sands Regency Open events. I hope, guys, you will find this useful. Johnny Archer won it 5 times, followed by Reyes, Sigel and Varner on 4, and Earl and Kimmer on 3! Which was/were your favourite match/es ? My all-time...

It’s kind of dumb to point this out but video footage will always take precedence over written/oral evidence. And when there are five racks in the video out of 11 racks ran by Earl and we know that taping started from rack 7 only, it’s not too difficult to figure out which racks are shown, is...

That's very interesting lol. The only claim I made was a rack-by-rack accounting based on the video footage. Did you see it, by the way ? If you can't see that Jay's story does not hang together and contradicts all other contemporaneous written accounts and the said video footage, I can't help you.

And the final post since I promised to upload a snapshot of the 1-10 combo. Enjoy guys!

Linking in all of the other threads on the topic I could find to have everything in one place. That's me done! Earl's 11 consecutive racks for 1M - https://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=285 Earl and the truth about the "Million Dollar Challenge" -...

The Dallas Morning News - 13 April 1996 And the final article I have is from Dallas Morning News. Enjoy!

The American Cueist - May 1996 This is the second article

The American Cueist - May 1996 There are two articles. This is the first one, plus cover

I seem to recall Billy Incardona saying on one of the Accu-stats tapes that Buddy Hall learned one pocket from Cokes or was it Nick Varner. I have to find that tape... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think Jay Helfert mentions in his book that the matter did progress to court and Tevis won the case but that did not stop Fats using the monicker. Edit: just seen that Jay has already covered this, sorry. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I guess I shall leave it at that. There is no point debating this any further. I'm sure everyone watching the video will draw their own conclusions. I will just post up the remaining articles that I have (from Dallas Morning News and The American Cueist) and that will be the end of the matter...

There is a funny story about Cokes on R.A. Dyer's website. I thoroughly enjoyed it https://poolhistory.com/daddy-warbucks-and-johnston-city/

Where do I start... Best to take your points in turn: - Rack 5 was never taped. What you say contradicts all of the available accounts of the match (even your own - have a look a couple of posts above). Per CJ, the terms of insurance policy required a player to say "on five" and that's exactly...

I agree quality is less than perfect but it’s hard not to see the nine going down on the break! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
