Almost every the other countries, snooker, pool, and carom players laugh at the U.S players and there worry about aiming, silver bullet rip-offs, and 2K cues. No wonder why there are only 5 or 6 world class players here. Johnnyt

I lost all use of the movement in my arms, legs, and speech. I was one lucky guy that everything came back with in about a week...except a lot of memories on how to do things . Pool was like I was just starting to play. It took me forever to get back o a C+ player and about 3 more years to get...

Good ol' Watertown, NY. I spent a few days in their jail for resisting arrest, U-turn on the thruway, and stolen car. I remember the NYS Trooper took us to a farm. The soon as he pulled up near the farmhouse aan old guy in bib overalls came out the field on a tractor. We were taken down a cellar...

Any decent tournament the week before the cup in Vegas or CA.? Johnnyt

Shaw better than ALL of them...IMO. Johnnyt

Glad to see Oscar got the 5th Spot. I have a hunch Shane will break out of his mc slump this year. I feel Sky, Oscar and Billy, will play well. Hatch might be the hero or the goat. JMO. JOhnnyt

I didn't know you were Mr. Wilson :smile: Johnnyt i

Wife and I are riding it out in Tampa. We live in Carlolwood, which is high ground in FL. We just need to worry about the wind. Our four married kids are riding it out in ST. Pete and SpringHill. Feel sorry for those living close to waters. It's just after noon here and it's been raining for...

I don't see any players there in the running for the MC Team. Wonder why? Johnnyt

After my stroke 10 years ago, I had to re-learn how to play all over again. The first few weeks I couldn't run 3 ball in rotation or more than 7 or 8 in 14.1...and I ran 100 and 60 and seventies 100's of times, before stroke. I bought several books and DVD's on the basics. It took me at least 5...

So nobody has a problem with matchrooms picking players ahead of three points tournaments? Just have the players that they want and show no respect for the players or there points amount.? Johnnyt

Pool has much more to worry about than gender questions. If big money/purse, gets hustled, the women will handle it fast. Johnnyt

All the " put Earl in the MC team" has suddenly died down. Could it be some people know he's been picked for it already? Johnnyt

I don't think the OP got his info from there. I don't see anybody coming on here and saying it's NOT true. Johnnyt

So what 5 guys have been practicing at Griffs for the cup? I hope Matchroom didn't have players come all the way to Grifts in Vegas, when he knew some were there for nothing. I can't believe Johnny A. checked off on this, showing no respect for some of his peers. Oh well, I guess when you work...

I never meant that my way was for everyone. "Different strokes for different folks". Johnnyt

More BS from Matchroom. They make good money off all there events with the TV $. At least they could pick the U.S team honestly, like the top 5 period + an American Coach. You all know if the U.S wins this year, it will be only seconds before all of Europe says it's because of the coach. I wish...

I was a big fan of drills the first few years of learning. One drill that I did often was "the wheel" and the other was "Mississippi nine ball. I think drills helping your game depends on liking them and staying focused on each shot. IMO, the best way to learn how to stay focused is playing for...

You're right. I played 14.1 and 3 cushion billiards until there was nobody playing for money. Just time and a cup of coffee. The 2 or 3 years I played 3 cushion, helped my pool game a lot. I wish I would have played way more Snooker. Johnnyt

I played the game for 65 years. I've run over 100 in 14.1 and B&R 5 racks of 9 ball in money games a few times. I shot B to A for at least 55 of the 65 years I played. Practice making shots you miss or have poor % with. Don't waste practice time on shots you make with no problems. Position, IMO...
