    It's George Cues?

    There are some old posts throughout the forums regarding It's George cues. What I can tell you is that on the weight bolt is a number. Cues with a number of 1000 or less were built under the watchful eye of Hall of Famer Bill Shick. Although Mr. Schick did not help with any of the actual...

    Running balls now vs "the good old days"

    Running balls now vs "the good old days Talent runs balls over techniques more times than not. You can't teach talent. You either have it or not. There is way more talent today than in the past. There are certainly nuances to look for while playing 14.1, but none of it is a mystery. One...

    Running balls now vs "the good old days"

    Just my two cents worth, but I believe there are more good players today than in the so called "Hey-day". There are more 100 ball runners now than in any other time of the sport. There is more education, more books, more talent. Equiptment is better and the list goes on. The European influence...

    14.1 straight pool for pathetic noobs

    Here's a workout for ya. Throw five balls out on the table and even put one where you think you want to have a breakshot. Then take ball in hand and run the balls off to get position on the break ball. If you are successful with five balls, add a sixth, then a seventh, etc. It is getting on...

    player chairs Check out the Tempo, Trica and Amisco barstool websites. They are manufacturers. They have some very nice alternatives to the traditional player chairs at under $300 a piece.

    Better equipment, shafts, Tips, and Kamui Chalk, but the 526 RUN RECORDS Stands?

    I love one pocket and have played my share of it. The creative part of one pocket is what makes it so appealing, but how many times have you been on the receiving end of your opponent's moving the balls toward his hole and one just happens to drop in? The move is skill, the ball dropping in is...

    Better equipment, shafts, Tips, and Kamui Chalk, but the 526 RUN RECORDS Stands?

    I don't get it. If Cranfield ran over 700 and Eufemia had a run over 600 and Mosconi run 42 or 43 racks in a row before one of the Fats matches, isn't it true that those runs were on standard 4 1/2 X 9's? If so, then why bother with trying to match the playing conditions of Mosconi's 526? There...
