    What's up with Hard Times - Bellflower?

    It IS a great hall. There were about 8 guys waiting 10-15 minutes to get in when they opened at 11. Russ Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2

    What's up with Hard Times - Bellflower?

    I guess it turns out the "front" of Hard Times is actually the back door. Looks much less desolate in the "front", lol. Russ Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2

    Am I crazy????

    This. Vast majority of amateurs spin the ball way too much, and thevreason above is why they generally play better with a cue they are not accustomed to. Russ Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2

    What's up with Hard Times - Bellflower?

    I look on Google, can't find the hours to the place. I look on Facebook, can't find the hours to the place. I drive from the airport and stop by Bellflower to see if the hours are posted on the door. Nope. Place looks like it is out of business, but I know it's not, because I hung out at Hard...

    Kevin Trudeau hawking more books on TV...

    Scott, Pool has a "culture" of considering con men heroes that dates back much further than Kevin Trudeau...... Just wanted to clear that up. I do find it amusing that many "professional" pool players participate in many morally questionable activities in the effort to take off "suckers", but...

    Kevin Trudeau hawking more books on TV...

    And has taken 10 times that amount from people suffering chronic pain through his scam books professing to be able to cure cnacer. I don't care how much he put into pool. I am deeply ashamed that he was ever involved in any way with this game I love. Russ

    Kevin Trudeau hawking more books on TV...

    Appleton or Immonen???

    The silence is deafening... Me thinks Mika being the so called favorite in this thing is a little exaggerated. :-) Russ

    Hrmmmm.. Well if that's the word on the street, then Roy needs to step up and get some of my money. I like Darren for $50.00. Roy, you taking Mika? Short Bus Russ

    Appleton or Immonen???

    Roy, I like Daz too. Willing to bet another $50 on Mika? I have no idea whether I am on the GAL, but I figure everyone knows what I look like and I see AZers a few times a year, so I'm not stiffing anyone... What are they playing, again? Lol.. Doesn't really matter, tho. I like Daz playing...

    Stroke practice with empty bottle.

    But think how much better those players could have been if they were using a proper pendulumn stroke! What? I'm just SAYin! :D:D:D Short Bus Russ (P.S. I have recently have had a fairly big jump in my game when I went back to the bottle drill. Take this for what it's worth, considering how...

    Can You Beat Yu Ram Cha???????????

    Honestly, right now I do not think I could beat a lot of the top women, but it's not for the reasons you think. I have dropped opportunities to beat significant competition, and I have been noticing it is simply because I have not been paying attention. I generally play less than 4-6 hours a...

    Bad Pool Related Advice You Have Been Given?

    Yup. My game jumped 2-3 balls as soon as I quit trying to change what my stroke has done naturally since around 1996. :-) I call it letting the shot "pull my elbow" through to completion. I understand why some instructors would try to encourage a player to adopt a pendulumn stroke, but I...

    Bad Pool Related Advice You Have Been Given?

    Been told to completely change my stroke from a "drop-elbow" type stroke to a pendulumn stroke. Threw my game off for a few years. I decided to just completely ditch the advice and go back to what made me good when I was younger. Have come close to taking a few pro scalps in tourneys in the...
