    Level of pro talent today vs 15-20 years ago

    We all stand on the shoulders of those who went before us. It goes both ways. I doubt that today's player without all the 'given' knowledge that they now have At their fingertips could go back and crush the past players in their time and place. With that said, I still have serious doubts that...

    So, are the old Gandy Big G tables really all that bad?

    I am very happy with my Gandy 9" .... and have been for about 25 years or so. I used to be able to play a 'little' and now I can play 'a little less'.... My table is the 'sportsman' model, not the big G. It looks nice, and plays pretty well.... I have had new rails put on in the last few...

    Griffs video - check it out!!!

    Nice... Would be more interesting if you could take a walk around the room while giving Commentary. While the accolades are good credits, they need the reinforcement Of more visual aids. Just my view... I would still stop in if I were ever in the area just out Of desire to support your...

    thoughts on Gandy tables needed

    I have a Gandy 'sportsman' and have enjoyed playing on it for close to 30 years! There is no such thing as perfect... and I would say an old gold crown has the edge If in good condition, or a new diamond... but I have been very happy with mine and' I'm pretty choosy about my things. If you're...

    Mainting a Dime shaped tip

    I agree with a couple of the earlier posts... I agree that your style of play is a dominant factor. As a 'spinner' for better or worse, My tip ALWAYS stays in the dime shape........... SO..... just spin it more!!! ;-) Td

    Sort of a physics question

    From what I remember of physics, and how I understand it in my own simple Thinking. The OB is pushing back at the CB with it's mass, and the CB is Pushing on the OB with it's mass. This stops the CB because the mass cancels Each other out... all that is left is the force, which pushes the OB...

    What were some popular drills

    That or a straight line of balls and shooting them all in the same side pocket going down the line. Apart from that, and any shot giving you trouble.... it was just straight pool for practice... the game that teaches you almost everything you need to know, and shows you every weakness you may...

    Efren pointing to where CB was supposed to be

    There's also a need for a 'visual' player to give the mind a clear picture Of the result .... to compare to the idea.. so that the mind can compute Better the next shot. I personally am a visual player, and if I don't give Myself good feedback then it can get more difficult to get on track...

    Who were the most talented junior players, who disappeared from competition?

    I have heard that Mark Beilfuss was running in the 100's in his mid teens. Do you know Jay, if he was another prodige (sp.?) of George Ellis... (Harold Worst's sparring partner). I think he is from Grand Rapids, and if so I would be surprised if George didn't have a hand in tutoring him. Do...
