    Mosconi Cup

    Change Tables I watched every match from start to finish and I totally agree with Jay's comments, especially the fact the Euro's figured out the break before the Yanks. Without that edge, it would have been a different outcome I'm sure. Knocking either team's performance in clutch situations...

    Video of Mike Surber's suspected killer!

    Great approach. I have a high quality HP color printer and would happily print off enough copies to cover the I-10 corridor from Phoenix to Los Angeles. I would also volunteer to maintain a large map of the US & Canada, posting stick pins where covered. As daunting a task as this may appear...

    Video of Mike Surber's suspected killer!

    Wanted Poster If anyone can make up a "wanted Poster" with suspect's picture and what we know of him, I will make copies and post at all of the truck stops on I-10 from Phoenix to Los Angeles. If others can take resposibility for their section of country based on their residence or their...

    Video of Mike Surber's suspected killer!

    idio's If by chance this individual is a long haul truck driver, he could be anywhere today? I suggest we organize a coverage strategy to put up wanted posters at every truck stop in our respective areas of residence. I also suggest we form an "Action Group" among ourselves to go after this...

    Video of Mike Surber's suspected killer!

    The murder suspect's "idio's" As I viewed the tape, certain things about the suspect become evident: He is a beer drinker He shoots pool right handed, and has a stance like Karen Core He wears sunglasses (seen dangling from his shirt) He is no stranger to the game of pool (notice how he...

    What was your first pool hall?

    First Pool Hall My first intro to pool was in a hole in the wall / alley pool room called "Jumbo's", after the owner's nickname. It was in 1955, as a Freshman in HS just one block away. They had three Brunswick eight footers and two pinball machines that "paid off" During school days, they...

    Earl "Walk Off" / Setting the record straight!

    Today, I saw my friend who related his experience regarding Earl taking down his cue and walking off. What I posted was exactly what was related to me. I was not there, so could only relate what was told to me. Apparently it raised the ire of some AZ'ers who asked me to set the record...

    Why do I hit really hard cut shot consistently, but miss the straight shot just as..

    Here is a tip, I learned from the late great Harry "Poochie" Sexton: When alligning a long straight in shot, lower your tip onto the surface of the cloth directly behind and below the cue ball to where the tip is almost touching the cueball. At that point, you will be able to ensure you are at...

    What do you do with old pool balls ?

    Top tier cue makers.

    Top living cue makers IMO For all around good looks and play, I would have to add Jack Madden from Montana and Jim Busse from Missouri. Jack does beautiful inlays with Moose Antler. Less expensive than ivory and just as nice looking if not more so? Both make superb players. Cross-Side-Larry...

    Anyone know what became of Paulie Campbell?

    Paulie Campbell Paulie died more like 15 years ago. Same way Micky Mantle died...liver poisoning from heavy drinking. Paulie learned a lot from Nine Ball Harry Sexton, aka, "Poochie". If he could have stayed away from the bottle, he could have easily played with the best, especially on nine...

    Dollar for dollar, which production cue is hard to beat??

    Cuetech I just bought a Cuetech (Earl Strickland Model) from a guy who quit playing. It hit so well, I put on an ivory ferrule and Sniper tip. Now it hits so well, I wouldn't sell it for anything.
