Banks Eddy Taylor Bugs Vernon Elliott The above order could be switched around on a given day but if the money was piled high Vernon would most likely walk away with the green! Those in the know also know it's true. The list can continue but only after the above three.

Vernon's cross bank Vernon did not elevate his cue on this shot. He used the same stroke with this shot as he used playing all games; long bridge and held the cue stick at the very end. About 5-6 years ago and just before he suffered a stroke I set this shot up for him to shoot for over an...

Re:Paul Mottey cue pics Sorry folks. Regrettably my computer skills are limited and I haven't figured out how to post pics on this forum. Apparently I offended some of you by mentioning my ebay posting and with my poor photography skills. I promise not to do so again. I intend to sell most...

Yes, that is it.

In case any one is interested I listed my Paul Mottey cue on Ebay Sunday (first Ebay listing).

Pickle beats Efren Congratulations to Bobby. When Bobby is playing at his best he doesn't have to lose to anyone as most people in the south already know. Of course no one has the overall game that Efren has. What isn't known by everyone is Bobby's manners at the table. If it were a match of...

Thanks so much for taking the time to keep us informed. It reminded me of when I was a kid on the farm and listening to the Friday night fights on the radio. You did a great job!

Not sure about the Vernon/Efren potential matchup but I will ask Vernon when he returns from DCC. I do know that Nick Varner was in Chattanooga looking for action in the mid 80's when he was already a world champion and was being steered by a local for something in the neighborhood of $5K sets...

I have posted many of Vernon's stories on one pocket.org to aquaint people who didn't know about him. Go to their website and type Vernon Elliott in their search section.

Re:Vernon Elliott It's disapointing not to be there for my buddy Vernon's HOF induction but for those that are you will be in for a real treat. Observe how people crowd around Vernon including all the pros whose names you recognize and have become familiar with. It will be obvious, just as it...

If you replace the tips yourself, buy 12 layer tips and cut them evenly into 3 layers each maybe it wouldn't be too expensive. Only, I wouldn't tell anyone.

Just curious to hear if Mike Sigel or Lori John have made any comments about the IPT debacle and if they experienced any problems getting their winnings?

Pool school How many levels you go up is impossible to determine. You will taught the correct way to play pool and given the correct fundamentals to work with. Then your talent, dedication, and desire will be the limiting factors in your improvement. You may go up several levels depending...

Brass Rail results Floyd Reasons hasn't been an amature for 30+ years. Just does't play at top pro speed.

Best High Stakes Player What about Pretty Boy Floyd, Bill Incardona? I have heard they always bet it up pretty high in their day.

Debate on who was/is the best ever player will always be one of the most interesting of threads because in many instances it brings out the fervent passions we have for player(s) of our choice. And rightfully so, because to decide who was the best ever would end the appeal of this debate...

Earl's behaviour Like all of you I'm totally shocked that Earl displayed poor sportsmanship!

Re:Instruction In WWII most pilots were taught how to fly an airplane by school teachers who had never been in an airplane. Pilots were all busy fighting a war but with proper instructional manuals teachers were able to teach others how to become a pilot because what they knew how to teach at...

Re:Short ferrule What is the benefit of using a ferrule?

Re:solid tips IMO all layered tips hold chalk less well than solid tips (except xtra hard tips) due to glue between layers. If you look at your layered tip after shaping you'll see the contact surface you're chalking is made up of 25% or more of glue. The leather parts hold chalk well but the...
