B. alley wood Old growth wood is denser, would it make a better shaff, if aged right and cut right i think so. Dale

Clovers I have a 64/65 Gina 8 Pt with clovers on the 4 long points, Ernie can't remember which year he made it. I bought a Gina from you on ebay last Oct. Kevin, 17C, and sent you a picture of my 4 Gina's with the 64/65 Gina in that photo. That's as far back as I can go in regard to the...

I've always shaped my cue tips to the radius of the cue ball, gives me the largest contact patch possible between the CB & tip. Been working for me for a long long time now. Dale

I see your quoting the ad but, what is delection ?????????? Dale

I agree, I think their inflicted with "analysis paralysis". The worst chalk I every used was good. I have Masters at home, on the table I have one with a flag and one with no flag, can't tell the difference. ??????? Dale

Thanks for the simple explanation, being old school, I think for me I'll aim stroke straight through the Cb and deal with the english / squire. I'm afraid I would just confuse myself any other way. Dale

Let me see if I got this right. On the forward stroke when your cue tip makes contact with the CB, you wave the cue tip right or left by waving your grip hand the oposite right or left using your bridge hand as the pivot point to apply english to correct for the squirt you would get if you...

I kind of new at this game, only played it 50 yrs or so now. Maybe you would be kind enough to explain to me what the heck this thing you call backhand english is. I only know of follow, draw, right, left and center english and how you can mix them by going around the clock. Then change them up...

A straight stroke is important but, more important is the ability to make the cue ball travel from point "A" to point "B". Sometimes the cue ball travels in a straight line, sometimes it curves and doesn't follow a straight line. The player who shoot's the cue ball from point "A" to point "B"...

I watched the 1945 video of Willi shooting the wing shots a couple doz.times and I agree with you John. What I see pre shot is Willi holding his cue at the balance point, front of the wrap area, he rolls the ob down the table, places the cb down, drops the cue into his bridge hand and then...

Sorry, I've always played with a slip stoke ( 50 = yrs ) and you got it backwards. I slide my hand back while the cue is stationary, it gives you a longer follow through. Throwing your cue into the cue ball on your forward stroke is a f@#$%^g joke, try it. I refereed an exhibition game that...

I knew Biily when he hung around the Blue Carpet in Alameda in the early 70's before he when on the road. Strong player and a great guy. JDale

Bob Dalton used to come in The Blue Carpet, Alameda, Ca, back in the early 70's. I think he was living in SF at that time, great player and a really nice guy. JDale

There's always 3 cushion billiards ???????? Dale

In the mid 60's the eastbay pool halls all closed by 1am, we would jump in the car and head for Frisco, Cockrans pool room, it never closed. Many nights I watched Denny on that 6x12 payball table, 5,6,7 handed games, playing for $5/10, $20/40, one night $50/100 great action. Denny, Ronnie Barber...

I was only trying to add a little more information on cane/bamboo and in no did I mean to question your experience/knowledge on the subjects of bamboo fly rods or the properties bamboo. It appears that I chose my words poorly, please accept my humble apology. Dale
