Nice thread! Very well written............deep in some areas but......... the well thought out solutions helped to simplify what you were saying. I like your idea about about the "sub-conscious" taking over and automatically compensating for left/right spin throw, curve, swerve, squirt...

jammed balls This is the closest ruling similar to your question......hope it helps! This was discussed on: "one pocket .org". Do a search on "jammed balls" and you will find the discussion. Listed in the WPA rules/definitions is this: 8.3 Ball Pocketed A ball is pocketed if it comes...

Like puttin a scoop of ice cream on a hot dog I am more apt to agree with Fats as stated in Hustler Days on P-218: "I'm the one that saved pool-they helped bury it," Fats would say of the BCA. "All them play in tuxedos,....eight, ten, twelve, fifteen jack-offs playing in tuxedos. That's...

His name is actually Brincat. His first name is Steve. And yes he was the man to beat, especially at one pocket. But he has quit shooting as of several years now. There are some other good one pocket players here but none comprable to Brincat when he was in his prime. Joe Nelson still moves...

I agree. Efren is getting older and starting to miss some difficult shots that use to be hangers. And yes...........he is even missing some easy shots. Don't we all. It's called: "loss of concentration". I think Efren played his best against Scott. Albeit it was not his speed of two years ago...

:yikes: Thanks for sharing. Now I see where Semih Sayginer gets all those moves from. Hoppe is definately the godfather of billiards exhibition. However, Semih is very entertaining and I love to watch him do his thing with those billiard balls. But, I have to think that if Hoppe had the...

I would take an intentional foul rolling the q ball to the top right cushion/frozen. george

If he didn't miss, then why would "he" have put that he "did miss" in his "autobiography"? Also, I still think that it is more difficult to run 526 on a 4x8 because their has to be much more cue ball control being their is not as much room for the balls to separate. John Schmidt is a great...

Hey! Great idea Doc. I think you are on to something good for the tournament. I wish others would start thinking that way instead of dissing each other. Thanks for being a good mediator........george

Efren slipping I tend to disagree with you about Efren Doc! I know he got beat by Scott this year but it was very close and he was playing on Scott's turf. He should have never lost to Alex at DCC either. Their was way too much shooting (IMO) for a guy experiencing the weakening of the eye...

Doug: Just got thru reading the entire post on best ever one pocket players by Billy Incordonia. Very interesting. What an intelligent person he is. Sorry that he and Grady had their differences on the topic. They are both such great players, commentators,persons etc. I thought Billy handled...

Thanks Tom.........I'm not a regular and I forgot about the search engine. I've done the search and Wow! It has been well covered. thanks again.......Mobile-george

Does anyone know the actual weight of a blue dot, red dot and the T.V. (6 red dot) cue ball? Are they all suppose to be the same weight? Some of my friends are saying the tv ball is heavier. Can anyone settle this? george--Mobile

Does it get any better? ;) Freddy.........Just got through watching the preview on your new DVD "Banking with the Beard". It looks as though you have out done yourself again. This is going to be a must have video for anyone wanting to learn the essentials and then some of the proper...

Your advice on shooting off the rail is well taken Jay. However, this latest advice appears to be another gimmic to get around the rules that each of us should respect. It just seems to me that pool in the U.S. (unlike snooker in Europe) still remains a hustler's game with gimmics and tactics...

coming to Mobile Does anyone have any good stories about coming through Mobile when Cleo, Brimcat, Junior Moore, Bubba Howard and others were in action back in the 60's and 70's. I was around but knew very little about pool. I do remember a young shooter named Bubba Howard (tall thin blonde...

Cliffhvs Scott woof off Just left Breakers in Mobile. Watched Cliff and Ricky Byrd partnering against a guy Clint ( ? ) from Atlanta. Cliff and Ricky were a couple games up when I left at 500 a game. Been waiting for Cliff and Frost to tie-up.......they've been woofing for several hrs...

correction Doc-- Not that it matters--the right people got their money but- For the record the results were: 1. Hennessee 2. Ronnie Wiseman 3. Scott Frost And WOW! What a description of that shot by "Hillbilly" You rock Doc-almost as good as that rap last nite. mobile-george
