Mike, I thought he was BANNED? Larry is entitled to his opinion just as I am; I'll still stand on MY opinion of CHEAP copies. Joe

Won't fly! This will be just another "cheap" copy, made with "inferior" materials; doesn't Saluc have a copyright on their balls. Of course, what does China care about a copyright. This inferior "spotted" ball WILL NOT react the same as Saluc"s ball because the materials will be different...

"i didn't start playing seriously till i was 21 because my parents didn't think a pool hall was a place for me to be when i was living at home.........." Actually, I don't think we did get off the original topic; a lot is mentioned in this first post. Let's take my first post, a lot of what I...

Hope this helps someone. Directions to Cap's Directions to Econo Lodge Directions to Red Roof, there are a number of lodges near Red Roof. Joe

Budda, The way Jimmy described this stuff was it is instantaneous, you have to catch it BEFORE it gets into your blood system; no time for doctors or hospitals. JUST WACK AWAY. Joe

Hi Blud, I agree, you know more than we do about cleaning balls. Actually, the reason I kept up with the Windex thing is because I'm sure that over time the products made for cleaning balls will build up some sort of visible residue on the cleaning pads; I just thought the pads would last...

This is similar to Blud's product, I think Blud's is already diluted but am not sure, Jimmy has it in a Windex bottle already diluted. The Aramith product can be diluted with 3 parts water to 1 part product; so, Aramith's 8 oz. bottle will yield 24 ozs. of cleaner/polisher. I think what it...

Hi Blud, It's hard to teach an old dog new tricks, this is just the routine I used BEFORE I purchased your ball cleaner so I just kept it up; and I DO NOT want to mix the Windex with the Pledge on the SAME cleaning pads. Actually, I was considering purchasing another clearner just to polish the...

I have one of Blud's ball cleaners and I'll say this: It is simply the BEST ball cleaner on the market. (period) I confess I don't use the cleaner/polisher which does a wonderful job, I just prefer the Windex that Jim suggested. Actually, Jim DOES use the cleaner/polisher but he said either is...

How would you like to drive 500 miles to a tournament and have that happen two matches in a row? Now your on your way home, unless you want the full treatment and stay for the entire tournament. Billiards is a game of luck, especially 9 ball; there's NOTHING you can do about it. Amazingly, if...

This is how Jim Rempe told me to clean balls. 1. Denatured alcohol to clean all marks. 2. Windex to generally clean balls 3. Your favorite scented Pledge (I prefer Cedar) furniture polish to bring them up to luster. This procedure will get old balls looking very nice. Under NO, NO, NO...

In 1931 billiard players were playing for bigger purses then they are today; and they played in three piece suits or tuxedos, not rags or jeans with holes in them like today. Jesus, is it a surprise to anyone that NO ONE but relatives and close friends want to come to these tournaments. As...

Hi, Interesting that this topic should surface today. Yesterday, myself and my tour traveling companion had this conversation with some local players. He offered this comparison: "if you brought Tiger Woods to a local golf club and charged admission you'd get 25,000 people to come; if you...

You cannot tap the cue ball with the stick/ferrule, this is a 15 point foul; you must ALWAYS hit the cue ball with the "TIP".

Do a search for “Academy” or “kicking academy” and you should find the entire series; it starts with an introduction, be sure to read it. Some people swear by systems, others don’t care for them at all; but they should at least get you started in the right direction. If you haven’t a clue how...

Recovery, This is normal. It's no secret that I talk to Jim Rempe and take lessons from him frequently, this is what he told me: "you will play a consistent game for a while then you will LEARN something OR find something WRONG (e.g. stance, stroke), during this learning process OR correction...

Hi JAM, Geez, I thought I was the best dressed there? I think I was sitting next to you by the snooker table when Ming (a little short for that table, don’t you think?) was knocking the balls around, I finished one round back of Keith. Is that Joe DePietro you are thinking about, I played Joe...
