I like that Creedo...thanks:wink: It definitely appears there is a 1 3/4" shelf...which makes it tougher to play. Again...Very nice shooting by C.J....He's a gentleman and a scholar in my book....:cool:

Wrong....next topic.

Actually that's not worth a crap when the pockets are smaller than 4 1/2"....right....? But unlike Greg I know how to use a straight edge rule....lol:wink: Measuring between the balls is not accurate unless there is a gap.

Nothing against C.J's shooting....It was fantastic. See my post #53 & 55 for your stubbbornness on pocket size....which does matter whether you think so or not.

You do realize that pockets get tighter the further back you go....Don't you....? Like I said....My home table is 4 7/16".... but at the rear of the pocket it is 3 5/8"....The same goes for the pockets in the video. Just measure the opening at the points and you will have the correct opening...

Thanks Atlarge....I just get tired of pool players exaggerating pocket size....especially those who should know better. Many times broadcasters will say...."and they are playing on 4" pockets"...! When they are usually playing on 4 1/2'' pockets or a little tighter. It doesn't take much effort...

Sorry but those are not 4" pockets....They are 4 1/2" pockets. The same as the pockets on my home table. Pockets are measured from point to point....not at the rear of the pockets. Come on guys....no exaggerating. However....nice shooting on "fairly" tight pockets C.J.

I don't know you mckeesport but I know the guy who threw the punches....IMO he is a thoroughbred "red neck" who is always looking for trouble. This isn't the first altercation he's been in. He is constantly trying to prove how tough he is. I use to be the same way when I was a dumb 16 year old...

Very nice work. Thanks for your time and commitment to pool.... I once asked Efren how he makes all of those seemingly, impossible backwards cuts....? He replied: "I aim to miss the ball"....:frown: Now it works for me...;)

See post 124 Jay. My reply to JoeyA... Thanks for remembering a great guy. Bubba was an all around gentleman and good sport. Kind of a cross between Buddy Hall and Steve Cook....;)

He lives over in Daphne or Fairhope (about 20 miles from Mobile) but gave up pool many years ago. I think he quit when he was just under 20 years old....He just turned 60 this month. What a shame and a waste....Many said he was on the way to becoming the next Buddy Hall. I think he got led...

Of course there's always Danny's retort about his wallet... Billy will say something like: He tried to bank that ball three rails...or he tried to cut that ball. Danny will reply: "He banked his wallet"...:grin: Or: "He cut his wallet...!" :D

I've got a name for you Jay...Put your thinking cap on. The "Boy Wonder" Bubba Howard from Mobile, Al. He was 16 years old when a friend of mine brought him to Vegas at the Stardust.....He beat everyone he played according to the story. He was 6' 3" tall and weighed 220 lbs. with light blonde...

I asked myself....What the fork is this crazy mother gonna do next....:thumbup: Then I see....2 cue balls ...... LOL....:D :D You're the best....I've got your DVD. I hope many others buy it and you prosper. You deserve it. I can only imagine how much time you put in practicing not counting...

To Efren's right....

I found the picture from a responder (Cowboy Dennis) at http://www.onepocket.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=2

Does anybody remember seeing a picture of Willie Mosconi with a (15 year old Jersey Red) standing in the background....? A friend of mine is looking for it to give as a gift to one of Red's relatives. Any help locating it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I only met Wade when he was living in Mobile a few years ago. He was frequenting the pool hall where I shot. Joe Nelson introduced me to him and then.... "as old road pool players do"... they started swapping memories back and forth about their road experiences. I was cracking up at some of the...

I play at home 2 or 3 times a week with friends.... and I try to practice a little each day at home... I go to the pool hall 2 or 3 times a week also... 4 1/2 X 9 Diamond table I play almost exclusively one pocket but I will practice 9 ball if prodded....

I was curious why you didn't spot the other 3 balls that went on the break and try to get them also....? That would have been even sweeter....:smile: Great shooting though...!
