Earl may have been the first to use the jump shot in major competitions, but it was actually Pat Fleming who was the first to employ the jump cue, and that was long before Robin came out with the Frog. He even taped a piece of balsa wood to the butt of his jump cue for a while so people...

This shot was a clear foul and everyone knew it (even Bustey, I'm certain). I'm not even sure how it became so controversial.

When I'm playing and there is a close hit coming I don't tend to say anything. It's not my responsibility to help him pay attention to the match, it's his. What I will do is look at my opponent and give him plenty of time to decide if he wants a call and I won't begrudge him that time, or his...

Just run them through your dishwasher.

The reality is that smokers are in a massive minority at present and the laws are written by people elected by the majority, so you can expect smoking bans in more and more places. Arguing that it's somehow unfair is just a waste of time. You'd be far more productive to lobby your local...

Yeah well where's the 'f' in "lieutenant"? Actually for that matter, where's the 'r' in "colonel"? Anyways, the term 'break' refers to a run of points achieved in either snooker OR croquet. Which should clear things up for the croquet players.

What a sick, sick match!

Yeah, I'd sure like to know who gets hurt if people in countries that don't have access to the broadcasts manage to watch it on the Internet. If the WPBSA had any brains they would have arranged for web content years ago and been ahead of the curve. No wonder the sport is declining.

I actually did it using a piece of broken glass once - a technique that was recommended to me by one of the old-timers in the poolroom. It worked pretty well. Obviously you can just use sandpaper too but I'd recommend grabbing a rack cue or two or something and practicing on them before...

That table looks pretty sweet. Did you buy it new? How much?

In before Philthepockets claims that this never happened!

[ ] Ronnie uses a one-piece And then at least he'd lose with the right equipment.

[ ] he said that [x] ignorant as always Practice?

Phil, I reviewed your posts, and obviously most of them are pretty ignorant, but this one in bold is actually more ignorant than most. You're talking about the 'two cushion glance' shot where the player kicks off two cushions and chips the edge of a red and walks the cue ball up table to balk...

Usually they're 3 3/8".

Maybe you'd like to play Corey Deuel some even nine ball where he shoots every shot with the rest. I don't think you could bet enough money... .

If that extends to one-pocket then you can pretty much bust the universe if Davis or Williams wins. I mean just on my own I'll bet my first born child. Who knows what kind of action you can get in America. I'm sure the number runs into the millions of dollars - maybe even billions - and...

And yet, that's exactly what O'Sullivan said to Nick, at least according to Nick. Maybe Nick was lying too. More likely is that at 21 Ronnie didn't see as many shots as he does now. Also in '96 how much exposure to American pool did anyone in the UK have? That shot comes up in snooker...

I find it impossible to believe Billy Sikes could be running his mouth. The hell you say!
