A man's lifes work I'm amazed at the negative and critical attitude from the cue buying public's point of view, about the use of the C.N.C. in Inlay creation! In just about every other Art form, at this time, it is regarded quite differently. At Gibson Guitar's custom shop, they produced some...

They do all their cue work by hand in the Phillipines!

Lack of public awareness, period! I totally agree with you Sherm. Thomas Wayne probably could have said this a little bit better, but it seems to be accurate given his work in the past! Now here's what was said, "Having used both techniques extensively, beginning in the 1980′s – indeed, having...

Molavia hard, hard to beat! I think I've tried about every major layered tip out there and for this reason, I build a semi-hollow, very low deflection shaft. Moori's tended to feel like a sponge on that type of composite shaft. In the Moori 3's, the hard performed O.K. On a solid wood shaft...

White aprons and pedestal, Brazilian Rosewood rails, 8' over-sized Gold - Crown 1. This is a beautiful playing table with deep welled slate and tight (original cut) pockets. Slates and castings are in excellent original condition and the rail-rubber has been professionally replaced with new...

"Efren for the cheese!" Ask any of the players who were around when Ronnie Allen was on top of the one-pocket world and like everything else, according to who you ask, you'll here a variety of answers as to how good he actually was. The majority will say, "he was the best of that era, maybe of...

Airway Billiards has good food. too! Airway is just off Needmore Rd. They have Diamond Tables and Gold-crowns, a full bar and really good food. Check in with Todd at Airway, you'll be glad you did! The phone number is, 1-937-274-1230

"3" 1000's Actually, there are three 1000's in Accu-Stats history. Wade Crane vs.Buddy Hall,(bad news here is that it wasn't a video taped tournament) Efren Reyes vs. Jimmy Wetch, (D.C.C.) Mika Immonen at D.C.C.. Though, I'm not sure who Immonen's victim was. Both of the recorded matches are...

Remember when Rempe played Pro-snooker? In the mid-eighties, at the top of his game, Jim "King James" Rempe was invited to England to play Pro Snooker. He worked hard at it, too. With all that money available then, he decided that path wasn't for him. That's got to say something about whether...

Oh, and I forgot to add, from a playing perspective, when the ball collects, "Kill the white with English" and throw the object ball. Either English works for this, and will move the rock away from the cushions with the right speed. "....You just gotta let the rock know what you wanna do with it!"

Dirt in the trenches! Chances are also that the tables are not vacuumed very much if at all, and that lack of cleaning creates a problem all on it's own. The chalk dust that collects under the cloth does how ever create high areas on the slate in different spots...which in turn will cause...

"all here is not just theory!" "Something is wrong with professional pool to be sure. But it's really not the professionals, not entirely. They are in a catch-22 because if they organize, which they should, and make demands then the few promoters that are there will bail. Why? Because the...

Thanks for the links to the csosborne.com I've been wanting another staple puller for a while now.

2 different era's, might as well be different worlds! Just for reference, I caddied on the woman's pro golf tour in the early eighties, it was all there, drugs (speed, on the course), parties, and sexual preference issues that still can't be addressed publicly today! The other thing is this...

And T.V. cares about what? Good Luck with finding T.V. sponsorship for Pro Pool! Television wants a fully produced product and all broadcast rights for "FREE, PERIOD!!!" In other words, you must give them an Accu-Stats, T.V. quality production, and they give you in return, a negotiated split on...

"Beaten up with no support." ....well here's an interesting thought on a problem that has plagued pool as a sport for years. What would the advertising demographic be for a corporate sponsor? Who out there is watching with money to spend? corporate bean counters always want to know this before...

Break cue wieght, it varies? Well, I'd like to say that one weight would be theoretically better or superior to the other, it's just not so. Greg's statement, quoted here, sums up one effective technique for parting the balls. Another, and I'd like to think a more effective approach, is using...

Percentages=suffocation! You'll find total agreement with this enthusiast! Those are the skills that win one-hole, always! Everyone today is so--- impressed with Efren running out from everywhere on the table. In truth though, if you watch his development of the opening positions, transitioning...

BCA, the original "paper tiger!" .....well, for me Jerry, any comment defending the BCA in this screw-up seems ludicrous! What Hall Of Fame member can say that they have a winning record playing nine-ball, against the player considered by most to be the greatest of all time, Efren Reyes? That...

"Is the break a shot?" I'm troubled by the very concept that speed, can or should, be a part of the "legal domain" of the tournament director and or promoter. Most, if not all, of these measures were originally implimented under the guise of helping T.V. pool move faster for the televised pool...
