You are right, Tammie, it is cool. As hard as I look I still haven't seen Shorty. Shorty used to be at everything the Greenway had going. He and I butted heads many times. This is also around the time Bob Dancer was living in BR and I didn't see him either.

For sure he used to be, cscott. John for many years was the most underrated bank pool player in the country. He's a good guy too. I used to do some things with him when I lived in Chi-Land.

Just curious, Ragbug74, how do Ike and John Zaksas match up playing banks now? I know how they did 15 years ago, thanks.

Just got an email from Jim Wax, Scott. He said his wife, Jannette, shot the video and he doesn't know who Pat is, sorry. I heard the name Pat a few times too,,,,,,,,,, got me.

Thanks for sharing that $Bill. Brought back a lot of fond memories. I'll have to make an effort to send the link to Dan Louie and Dot's friend Rich Geiler. I don't have either of their e-mail addresses. I tried looking for regulars from that era like W. R. Jones, Jimmy Doucet, Hamp, Big Robert...

That question is sitting in Jim Wax's, In Box, as I type, Scott and it is a good one. I will let you know when I get an answer. OK, here is what I have been able to deduced as of noon central time. Bobby "The Locksmith" Headrick, was on the road with Larry Hubbart at the time of this Greenway...

For sure, Happy Birthday, sir and many more.

Yes, I did stake Danny a couple of times in the payball games, Lunch, but I was not at this tournament and I didn't see Danny in the video. I am still working on editing the video. I will have the rest uploaded shortly and will post it...... One question for you old guys. What was/is Bucky...

Try 1981 The owner of this VHS shot video is Jim Wax. Jim converted it to DVD and sent it to me last week. So far I have only uploaded the first part of the video, it is in 3 parts. I will be uploading the other 2 parts shortly. I may try to combine them into one part. In the 3rd part of the...

Favorite player??? The only true way of determining who your favorite player is......... You probably have a few but who is your "FAVORITE" pool player of all time??? Try it without looking at the answers...... please don't look down until you do it, you'll love it I promise 1) Pick...

You could easily be right, Jay, but in those days everyone played off the wall. Even in the 70s, if you think back, most played off the wall. Buddy Hall, before he became known, grabbed any house cue and destroyed who ever was at the table. Jimmy "Flyboy" Spears, used to play off the wall in...

Rep to ya, Bob. Now you got it. If you notice Bob is much closer to the object ball, which allows you to use top english as opposed to having to slide the cue ball at a farther distance. Nice video, Bob.

Better be careful, Dick. He has been told he looks exactly like Tony Soprano in his avatar. You don't want a re-incarnated, "Big Pussy" paying you a visit.

You might have caught it at a busy moment, RP. I clicked on it just now and it is working fine.

You make a great point, BB. The point I wanted to make was that many straight shooting champions don't have a clue about the game of pool, other than working their elbows. It seems too much knowledge might effect how straight they shoot. You're probably right. I should have sold it.

SGM, The OB can NOT be frozen to the rail and make the shot. It has to be off the rail just a bit. Try the shot with the OB about 1/2 to 1" off the rail. If the OB is frozen you can not impart english to it. Sorry, I should have stated this earlier and you can't see how far off the rail the one...

Boy Doug, you start more CHIT than anyofum........

That's correct, Dan. The object ball is off the rail. The cue ball I used is from the Centennial set that all the other balls are a part of. Back in the 70s I did carry a white hole-less bowling ball in my glove compartment from a United bar table. Wonder where that thing went? Keith might have...

The best thing to do is forget the terms, Inside and outside, in this instance, desomcourtney. Look at the object ball you want to pocket. You can see what english needs to be on it for it to hit the rail and run toward the pocket. If it needs Left english, you must put Right english on the cue...
