Ah good morning. League day. APA , I shudder to say. 😉 Shot 1 Day 1 Is te most important shot. Shot choice depends. What condition? Fight or Flight.? "The taste of blood excites me!" Is a favorite quote. Here comes the sun. It's alright.

Well upon stumbled re entry. Gotta have The coms right. The self to self. Over.

I did get the question to Efren in a podcast. The which ball last question got Object ball. Well perhaps I worded the question wrong. Shrug 🤷‍♂️ wink 😉 At impact would be better.

Late to follow but seeing "the stroke" probably have over passed Efren's pump handle stroke. What a thing of beauty. The way the fingers applied the final touch to the cueball. Then the cueball talked. Watching the tip interaction with whitey allows the best read on conditions. What condition...

Thanks for the flashback. Efren's cue was very interesting in '85, when he first played the Reno Sands tournament. Very similar to the $20 Walmart cue that Drunk Act Kelly played with in Tacoma area. Kelly was a senior player with billiards skills that allowed him to rob B players. (Not Ed...

The typing lessons in high school didn't allow music in the headset for typing 101. 🤷‍♂️ So my dexterity was enhanced through the typing lessons and practice. Trying to keep up with the girls was a real challenge. 🤷‍♂️ Did I mention, the Ring finger is the trigger finger? 😉 And look at...

My best practices come in solitude. The inner dialog is given the stage. Shrug The Pinball Wizard.

The My ching Oh the Day. 😉 If someone is giving you a line of shit......plant a garden. 🤷‍♂️ tomato would be my choice. A tomato plucked from the officers cold box was my first....well first that I liked. Love 😍 them now. 🤷‍♂️ One week of wilderness survival at +10,000 feet. I was first to...

Favorite quote is unatributed, "the last fight I was in I won by 20 yards. Ta dump, rim shot. 🤷‍♂️

It's the size of the fight in the dog. Stand your ground. "I can't beat your slow game." Is my favorite quote. 14 racks of 9 ball in 45 minutes. 🤔 Well I guess if you don't get a shot for 45 minutes.....it wouldn't be fun. Uh oh gotta know when to Walk away and when to RUN. If you see me...

The cue slider facilitates minimum friction. Still need to keep the shaft and slider clean. I wash the slider weekly, well weekly (now). There was a time I played a lot more. Shrug 🤷‍♂️ The button tab allows a pinch of variable tightness. The Joy of the open bridge. 🤷‍♂️ Simple, 🤔 kinda like...

It's real quick. And just a few strokes up and down with the dry paper towel.. The squeek tells me when it's clean and dry..

I wash my cue when I wash my hands. When I still have soapy water on my hands I wipe from tip to joint. Rinse and wipe with clean water then use a paper towel to wipe dry and burnish.. The oil from my hands has given the maple shaft a seal that keeps the wood from absorbing before I wipe it...

The morning after the night before My favorite Story is to awaken to the blazing sun, as I was sleeping in the 76 Vega wagon. It had been park directly in front of the main entrance to the tavern. It was approaching noon, so as I wobbled up the steps and into the bar I knew that they had all...

Life's lessons Are the important ones. Be a survivor is my pool strategy. Think of Cool Hand Luke, "I got my mind right" 🤷‍♂️ Or as Yogi Berra said, "Half the game is 85 percent mental." The Butch Cassidy and Sundance jump. It took a leap of faith for me to switch from object ball to...

👍 Ding Ding Ding 👍 Cole broke with his Joss with ivory ferrule and waterbuffalo tip. He explained it along that line. Surely he could be accurate with a break cue but he was so tuned to the weight balance and flex of his shooter. The slightest change could lower the quality of the results. He...

Have I mentioned Surgical Precision? My Dr uh Dr Polka the army Dr. That delivered me in 1951 and nicked me with Tarzan.🤔 In '68 he taped me up and sent me back into the football game. He always applied the tap higher than I had shaved the leg. eek grrrr. My knee had displaced in a practice...

That was Friday night. He came into My Home room(The Seed 2) first thing Saturday morning and wanted to play.....for 5. I replied "We can play for 10 or 20 but not 5. I can't beat you for 5." He started whine ing to prospective customers as they entered that Saturday morning. "He Has My Money...

I had just won 14ish games in 45 minutes. 9 ball at 10 a rack on a 8 foot barbox. He was a young player on a road trip. He was doing fine coming from one of the Carolinas to Seattle. I had 120ish in my pocket and had just quit my day job. I was down 90 and sure didn't want to find a job...

Do it the Same. Every time. Well guess that makes it a routine. Establish the platform for the line of sight. I so enjoyed watching Ichiro.
