And get Schmidt there too by whatever means or inducement!!! The table is ideal for him, and so is the process and the nature of the challenge. Who can rationally say otherwise? Arnaldo

Wrong forum. You did know he's an ardent pool player and someday may want to something we'll like. Arnaldo

IMO both numbers need to be taken with a grain of salt -- absent any speck of corroboration. They seem to be all about "he said" and either one supposedly happened in 1993 when he was extremely innocent of Straight Pool's nuances as clearly evidenced in the totally naive pattern play I...

It's more correct to relate that Massey's kick was his (foolish IMO) attempt to luck-in any OB after first sending the one-ball to any rail, and thereby continue to shoot after lucking something in. Legally that kick was the equivalent of Massey's Pushout and the rule was that the opponent had...

The world has a dire shortage of negativity and pessimism. Thanks for helping to alleviate the shortage. Arnaldo

In an infinite Universe all things are possible irrespective of our present early understandings about its actual physical laws. One of the implications of quantum physics theory is that, given the proven effect of human Consciousness on observational measurements -- there are virtually infinite...

Lou, It's the first time a top-level lifelong player like yourself could be truly grateful that he barely missed something. Arnaldo

But for Flora and several doctors extremely devoted to him and benevolently issuing strict health maintenance orders, Willie would have never made to his 80s. After suffering a stroke in 1956, Mosconi obeyed doctors orders and warnings, and slowed down on his tournament appearances in order to...

His dazzling Nine-ball skills made his reputation. Anyone who knows that game is fully aware that there's plenty of reason to reproach yourself for leaving yourself dead straight-in on an OB and with no angle to readily get on the next higher-numbered OB -- often with no reasonable safety as a...

Whether or not it was any part of Lou's intention in creating this thread -- Lou is a well-credentialed longtime member -- I greatly respect the fact that his very positive report (and the informative replies) will unquestionably motivate a percentage of formerly hesitant, cataract-afflicted...

I didn't bump this 13 year-old thread that Rayjay enabled, but his comment (red-fonted by me) caused me to wonder: how the heck does someone find/establish the spine of the cue's butt portion? Arnaldo ~ Obviously above my pay grade.

Had both eyes done a few weeks apart 11 years ago at age 75. It was beautifully successful. Only downside was . . . it took away the last of my excuses. :) Arnaldo

Eric: I can't resist observing that the second line seems to be contradicted by the first one ;) Arnaldo

You're up early, Jay. I must be too. Don't need as much sleep when we're at a "more advanced state of youth" I guess. Don't want to waste a precious minute of our ever-diminishing days. :) Arnaldo

A factually excellent and concise overview of Mosconi's path to his domination of the game from his teenage years onward, and a dip into his very early attraction (and amusing inventiveness) for the game as a pre-teen. Written for encyclopedic purposes by Jim Campbell...

More concerning to me than gravity waves are these 7 little-known health risks of today's ubiquitous, omni-directional waves of Wi-Fi networks...

You're a very sharp, knowledgeable guy, Al -- My ESP tells me you knew the answer even before you finished typing your rhetorical hypothetical. One raised eyebrow and twitch of Mosconi's pointed-finger towards the event manager, and as in the film about Elliot Ness vs Capone's mob (The...

Regarding Buddy's infrequent 14.1 playing, Grady once commented to me that "Buddy rarely played or seriously practiced it, but he was a very knowledgeable and super-smooth 14.1 shooter who knew the game very well, and could dependably and consistently run 60 balls whenever he needed or wanted...

Objectively, much of Efren's well-deserved worldwide renown stems from his dazzlingly inventive and creative ability to extricate himself from difficulties his opponents leave him with, or difficulties (problems) which he has inadvertently imposed on himself. The useful term heard in 14.1...

Both numbers -- the 408 and the 480 are "another thing" in my view. I take them both with a grain of salt. The 480? when he was 32 (in 1993) . . . two years later, he played in the 1995 Maine Event produced by Grady in Portland,ME and played that now-prevalent 9-Ball-Straight Pool hybrid...
