That's it, Russ. You're looking at being banned for a long time!

Yes to Swanson and Searcy A lot of good strokers have been mentioned so far but I have to agree with you here. These were the first two folks I thought of when I read the tread title. Their strokes were so smooth it would make your mouth water.

This is the best explanation I've read on the subject. Just like the tone of a Stadivarius getting better over time, the properties of cue stick wood can bring out subtle but perceptible changes. It seems as if the wood tailors it molecular structure to accept the vibrations going through it...

A fair price??? Nah ... It's a steal!!! But, I'm still not satisfied. I've got to see this live. My plan is to try and sneak into the studio. I'm sure if I hide in the rafters and stay quiet, I could avoid being detected.

Here in California, we pray for an earthquake to hit right after hanging up the game ball in the jaws. :smile:

Don't be embarrassed. We had a similar thread 3 years ago and this was what I wrote - 1. Go on a dream date with Jasmin Oushan 2. Go on a dream date with Jeanette Lee 3. Go on a dream date with Yu Ram Cha 4. Go on a dream date with Xiao Ting Pan 5. Go on a dream date with Angel Paglia 6. Go on...

One of the reasons Mark Haddad is such a fine player is because he cut his teeth playing throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. Before he moved to Denver he would've been considered in the top 5 or 6 players in SF. After his move, it was no surprise to me that he is one of the top guns in CO. Of...

Here I come ... I won't be able to come out within the week but I'll be there next month. If you get a higher run by then, will you still offer a reward for beating it? Either way, your money is safe. I'm helpless at straight pool. In fact, I'm beginning to think I got a 14.1 disability...

It seems I learn something interesting every time I log onto this forum. :smile:

That was a good account of the happenings around LA. The only other name I would throw in there is Arturo Rivera. In the 80's he was constantly in the hunt for action.

Might have been Earl who said ... I heard someone say, "If yoiu raise the table height by a couple of inches, half the Filipinos would have to quit the game". Whoever it was I'm sure they were just goofing around.

1-Pocket in Mendocino Co.??? Going from Hard Times to Mendocino County??? Yikes!!! There are definitely no pool rooms nearby, except for Ichibod's in Eureka. You're going to have to find someone with a home table, for sure. Then you better hope they like One-Pocket. This may be a tall order...

I played in a couple of Roger's 14.1 events at Hard Times and I could see toward the end, there just wasn't enough interest for him to keep going. Too bad because I know he really likes the game. When it was going, it was interesting to see 9-ball players struggling to play 14.1. There were...

Really??? Where are they playing 14.1??? Let me know and I might start hanging out at these places.

Speaking for CA I've been in pool rooms throughout California, from San Diego to Crescent City, and the only 10 footer I've seen was at Rebco Billiard Faire in Clovis (near Fresno). It was beatiful and well maintained. But get this - they wouldn't let me play on it!!! The guy behind the counter...

I always liked Jeff. He's a super nice fella and strong pool player. I hope all is well with him.

This makes me wonder what ever happened to Dean DeForest. (sorry for the hijack)

Good luck with the room. I'll come on down and check it our soon.

Thanks for the behind-the-scenes info leading up to the cancellation. Kinda explains a few things we were curious about.
