I use Gorilla Super Glue Gel, it has chlorinated rubber in it's make up , that absorbs shock. I have used it all , and that's the best ever. Need to make sure the glue has not gone past it's shelf life. Didn't know that there was one until a few years ago. Thinking the shelf life is about a...

Just turned 70 back in November. Game is far from what it was when younger. I have always truly believed to bring out your game , one had to stay in action and practice much as possible. It was hard work being on the road during the Carter years. Still is hard work I presume . but during those...

Remembering on a day like this my Mother In law and my wife had returned from a trip out of town. When they got in the house I gave my Mother in law an urgent message to call a lady by the name of Myra Mains. When it was all over niether she or my wife liked it one bit, but my Father in law...

Lot of great books already listed, here's one that I think is missing and a good one it is. Norman Vincent Peale's Power Of Positive Thinking

Congrat"s Great Run.

Have been working out for the last few months on my table at home. Know my game from when young isn't much there anymore. Turned 70 back in Nov, and just use my time of a couple of hours 3 or 4 times a week as good for working out and better than taking walks outside in freezing weather. Ran a...

Congrats on breaking through the barrier, doesn't matter that it was on a 7 footer , you broke through. I kept reading that you hadn't tried again on that table because your realized that you must have been in the zone to make that happen at that time. Rest assured , that anyone that runs 100...

All this about standing up or having the cue on your chin is about the shot your shooting. One of the greatest shot makers I ever saw , when he was in gear , Bill Lawson from NC. When the object ball and the cue ball were with in an inch or so and he had to make a cut shot of any type , he was...

Thought it interesting that he would pick Bert as the protagonist to be one of the roles he picked, but he must have delivered a powerful performance. check the link. https://flipboard.com/topic/tomsizemore/-/a-UqcVvCGhQJyyZHN0FNUWmg%3Aa%3A2679760903-%2F0 Would love to see footage of what was...

In the 4 table room in the small town where I grew up, each table had one chalk holder hanging from a string. When you needed to chalk your cue you would have to walk over to the chalk, it wasn't allowed to be on the rail as it is now. The Gent that owned the room ran a tight ship. Was thinking...

Hmm, did you try to freeze a ball in the middle of one of those curvy spots and then try and hit the ball and the rail at the same time. Bet it can't be made unless you bank it. What a Mess. If your playing one pocket , you would have to go 2 rails to make in that bottom corner.

The dowel screw in the middle of the handle broke first and then the wood around it went. I've seen cues do this before, even high end cues. The Dowel Screw might have had imperfections in how it was heat treated , or in this case if any heat treating of the part was ever done. Had a Scruggs cue...

Might be interested if,en ya want to part with it.

There were a few smart ones out there, Jimmy Higgins, Hawaiian Brian and Rempe and a few others . They saved back money to make more with it, knowing there would be a day that even their stroke's would not be the best as they once were. CJ is and was a lot smarter than some may think.

Good friend who passed away few years back ,,would keep a cube of masters in his glove compartment in his car. When he was out late with some pretty and after sending her on her way, he would get the chalk out and cover his hands with it. When he would get home his wife would ask where he had...

If you use any water base cleaner first you can kiss your chances of the brake clean ever working. If you ever have greasy hands from working on a car , never try washing with water first. If you do the hand cleaner will not be able to penetrate through the water applied and into the grease and...

Before the Toams V10 , I tried to use the Simonis hand wand to clean my table . I thought it was a waste of money and the brush was the only way to get the table clean then vacuum up the mess at the foot of the table. With the V10, the Simonis wand works so well that it's a couple of weeks...

Said the following for over a year now. Using the V10 will leave the whole room clean of chalk dust settling about when ever you clean the table. No more blue clouds of dust rising off of the table with each stroke the brush makes across the cloth. The chalk that gets into the cloth is no longer...

I remember reading many years ago when Mr Mosconi was still with Brunswick as their touring pro about pocket size. He told the company engineers to leave the pocket size at 5 inches if they wanted to bring the sport to more people. Tight pockets are great for the pro's , but people to enjoy the...

I know the post is about European players , but the following Gent played extremely well also and made his bones here. https://poolmag.com/alfredo-de-oro-bca-hall-of-fame-inductee-1967/
