".... feel left out? (I can't resist temptation! LOL!!!) Ah,------- Trigger, don't feel left out. I'll bet there are a "LOT" of People who'd've loved to see you pose for that shoot, for the sake of Art in the pool world, of coarse! No, really,-------- I've got "tasteful, artistic vision, and...

Easy as 1,2,3! Here are your original statements: Who are you referring to in (1) with the reference to the IPT, with the 1 person to make money and the players to lose out? Sounds like Kevin to me! In the comment, "If you truly think that he has lost his money every year to put on the...

Whats constructive? ...I read your blog today after reading this post, "Nice writing!" Oh, and you might try to get the "annoyer" to play some. You could at least see what it takes to get to the table with'em! Now that story, "would probably make for some interesting reading.";) I agree with...

Jay, what a Post! , I know this is a couple of days old Jay, LOL, but what a "GREAT" Post! I'd have given anything to have seen Ronnie play in his prime, about 66? And Joey Spaeth told me he thought that Ronnie was the best he'd ever played, must've been something to have seen! I've got to...

"GREAT attitude!" Amen to that! You are exactly what the Sport of Pool desperately needs, TRUE fans! I hope you have the best time ever and get to see some of today's greats!

"Again with the $$$$$$$$" Know this, promoters "LOSE MONEY on every Tournament, period, end of story!!!" Every promoter, every Tournament, and it's been like that forever! A lot of yester-years great tournaments have come and gone. Why, no money in it! Like the Akron Open for example, great...

Give thanks, and let us pray! People don't really "get," how tough it is to be in that booth, alone! With no dog in the fight, I'd say, "this guy is good with the peripherals." The bad news here is, you gotta know the "Game" and the players real good, too! You can play pretty good and not be...

Hoo-rah! That's good stuff!:D

"A slice of PIE, please!" "Who wouldn't feel the way Barry Behrman does in this letter, exposed to a grass roots group of people that appreciate you, and what you do well, play pool!" I absolutely concur Mr. Berhamn! Now this part was covered in another thread recently. For the kind of money...

"Butterfly's I'm a "BIG" fan of Ernie Gutierez, so the butterflies were just for in between the points on a prong. I'm a master luthier by trade, originally. So, on my own, I initially just made a jig to cut whatever desired angle I wanted (length of the points after turning is controlled by...

"$$$" Jay's right. The bigger question is, who paid for the live stream coverage from the European Straight pool championships. Is the same company broadcasting other events in Europe that same way, too? The reason for asking about other tournaments with this same multiple table access is...

"bumps and divots, for sure!" In my 30 odd years of hitting balls on the cloth, all that can be said is, "playing in a top American tournament on Diamonds covered in Simonis is like putting on the greens of Augusta in April." Sure there are divots on the course and spike marks on the greens...

Cues "Classic Custom Cues" Here is a picture of some older stuff along with my playing cue. Thanks for the inquiry.

"crazy?" "Your the one that's crazy, Bugliosi!" Famous quote from humanities long lost cousin! ....when I first got into cue making I wanted to study everything on butterfly points. Saw an add in a pool magazine for a video on how to make them perfect, every time, for only $50.00 dollars. I...

"Yup!" Definitely, on both counts! But really, the first shot off the 5, under the 10 is the traditional, correct shot, if you can get whitey to the side rail behind the 7, that's going to get you a lotta time to turn things around. But really, wouldn't you rather see the other type of...

"Whiskey please!" You gotta get your "steak horse" some Jack Black before you saddle up for this shot....here goes, once saw McCready do somethin similar to this, "come firm, high right (about 1:30 or 2 o'clock) of the rail with the rock, drivin the 8 into the back edge of the 10, on line to...

"patronage!" Bill, I really like what your saying here. The only problem is, I've run into the same problem as this gentleman quoted above. So the problem I have with this type of thinking, is patronage! Where does one find, the "people of means," to support such an enterprise? Initially, the...

"60's National Top Line" In basic bits and pieces, the answer to your question is, the weight of the rails, no. of rail-anchors per rail, and the finish on the slates. Although, there is an overlooked table that can be made to play "exactly like a Diamond." It's a "National Top Line," from...

Let-er-fly, hopefully away! If your opponent is playin' high enough, you might wanna buy him a jump cue if he wants to use it hidden on the end rail!
