Thanks, Low500! What I find interesting is that one whack-a-mole in particular writes things like, "Pro CTEers are simply incapable of having a civil reasonable discussion about this subject matter." Like, excuse me, doesn't he take a hint? The Pro CTEers DON'T WANT to have a "civil...

There is unfortunately quite the anti-Schmidt crowd as I'm learning, so I'm thinking this is where this sudden fixation (to knock John off the perch) is coming from. I don't agree with it at all -- and lord knows, John and I have had our fisticuffs on social media. But give the man his due and...

Folks: Most may have on their mind the "red glow on the horizon" that appears to be certain posters -- many that had long bans in some cases -- that continue to tilt at the aiming systems windmill. Some folks -- like one that recently reappeared after a 2.5 year ban -- seem to be so fixated...

I 100% agree! If there is ANY OTHER CUE SPORTS DISCIPLINE with players that also understand "how to go into a stack of balls," it's snooker. And yet, with all the bluster about how superior snooker players are in their fundamentals (which speaks to me personally, because I do agree), name me...

Is this for real? Folks, help me out. Considering post #45 above, am I being punk'd?

Joey -- WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!? I don't know if things have changed here during my hiatus, but I do remember associating those words with Mosconi was essential equal to dropping a glassful of nitroglycerine onto the ground. -Sean <-- I'm gettin' the hell outta here!

I noticed that too, and not just on this video. For someone who expounds so much on the importance of the bridge hand (re: Mosconi's training video), his is not as rock solid as he professes the importance of. It might be the "looped finger" style of closed-bridge he's using, where fleshy...

Sadly, it's just reminding me why I left. Used to have the energy to go back and forth with these types, which always ended the same way -- the troll gets triggered, goes off and gets banned, and I walk away with that empty feeling that, although victorious, I didn't accomplish any good; it was...

Going in circles? I was on the road yesterday and much of today, so I just now saw it. Your PM to me was merely a copy of your reply post on that thread that got deleted -- the reply post of which I saw, btw -- so I'm not sure why you're resending it to me. You didn't adequately address the...

Clean Gleem and Soul Glo "Clean Gleem"? I'm reminded of that scene in the Eddie Murphy movie, "Coming to America": https://youtube.com/watch?v=ThF4_4wnBPw LOL, -Sean

What do you think we're doing here? The pictures I posted of the pages of Willie's Game (post #280) shows I'm one of documentation and facts as well, not "silly long-winded argument." -Sean

Someone has a hair across his petutie. :D You need to read more carefully, as I was kindly asking the question, "have we?" conversationally in reply to your "we've already established he missed" thing. As you can tell from the plethora of replies from folks that come out of woodwork (including...

In the first two paragraphs: You were doing this quite compellingly, but now I see the last red-bolded sentence. Other than that last sentence and given the information you were sharing, it would seem you believed he just quit, so what "evidence" convinced you that he missed? -Sean

Folks: While searching through the AP (Associated Press) archives for any news articles (as Lou Figueroa mentioned) with interviews of people who witnessed Mosconi's 526 in 1954, I stumbled across this footage. It is not attributed or attached to any particular news article that I can see...

What is odd is that Mosconi's 526 stood for 65 years, and only in recent years, maybe one or two low-priced (by comparison) short-lived bounties along the way. Why is it all of a sudden such a large price tag is placed on John Schmidt's 626 only a little over a week after he achieved it? Is it...

WW: Concerning the bolded red part, have we? It seems in Post #310 above you were arguing that Willie just quit on 527. -Sean

Lou: I know you're down there in St. Louis(?), but I wonder if there's a way one of our locals there in Springfield OH can go to the local library and look through the microfiche for copies of those newspaper articles with the interviews of the local attendees, and post a picture up here on...

AZB Hall of Fame Folks: While this thread brings back some memories, another one (memory) was jogged that reminded me this thread may be redundant. You DO know that we have an AZB Hall of Fame for those members we've lost, right? Here it is...

And there is literally a book, written by Mosconi, co-authored by a sports historian, that was fact-checked as part of any editing/publishing process -- something that training videos don't go through because they are not fact-oriented as they are demonstration-oriented. And yes, it does matter...

Dude, you're making a mistake here in going against Freddie. He has an established name in the pool industry, is a well-known match commentator, has a comprehensive grasp of pool industry, and I dare say I trust his word more than I do someone posting under the moniker "something_pool" with a...
