Thanks! I finally figured out how to check on it myself.

I just answered my own question It was in 2009 that the DCC moved from the Executive Inn West to the Horseshoe Casino.

Does anyone know or remember when the DCC moved from the Executive Inn West to the Horseshoe Casino? Thanks in advance for your help.

Photo credit Many of the photos on Rod's site are from the collection that can be accessed via the link in my signature. It is common for people to use photos from my site without giving photo credit, but I have to agree with macguy who would rather the photos be seen and enjoyed even if no...

Yes, that is Dick Lane. He played right-handed.

Thanks for the post, Fran. After reading your post, I am anxious to try this at my next practice session.

I'm thinking this may apply in my case, where I seemed to get more spin on the cue ball with about a 3 inch slip stroke. Cue speed at impact may have been slightly higher and my follow through a couple of inches longer. Great post, by the way. Nice to see some real data!:)

Sorry, "Junior" doesn't ring a bell for me. I was around the Dallas pool scene in the early 1960s. In those days, Billy Stroud was one of the best 9 Ball players in the area. Other names I recall off the top of my head are Jack and Alfie Taylor, Georgia Slim (Robert Burrell), Jerry Trigg, Dick...

In another thread, there was a long debate over whether Mosconi, on occasion, used a slip stroke. Without going into the somewhat tedious hair-splitting about the definition of a slip stroke, for me, it entails sliding your hand toward the butt of the cue during the final backstroke. When I...

One more pic of Willie Here's a shot of Willie taken by my friend Mike Haines at an exhibition in San Antonio back in 1987. Since Lou mentioned masse shots, I thought I'd show you guys a photo of him shooting one.

I'm 73, and my self of 50 years ago would surely beat me playing 9 Ball or other rotation games. But I could give him a ball playing One Pocket and just toy with him. Only problem is, he was a nit and I wouldn't win much. :D

I agree, and yes, I did see Mosconi play back in the 1960s. He didn't use a slip stroke on every shot, not even on most shots. And it was nowhere near as much hand movement as Jimmy Moore's slip stroke.

Sad news indeed Alf, I am so sorry to hear this news. Please accept my sincere condolences for your lost of a brother and one of your best friends. I have so many memories of Jack, his quick wit and funny stories, his smooth pool game, and his friendliness toward me. I remember the time, back...

Gee, Johnny, why did you have to "out" me like this???? :D:D Actually, I was going to register Chester Couch, a guy you probably know. I guess I will just create an account under his name and do it that way. I recall doing this a few years ago from Mike Leek Jr. and back then, I could enter a...

Thanks for your reply. I am not going to enter the event myself. I just don't see any option for entering the name of a player other than myself.

Well put.... Nicely stated, Fred. I agree. I've played with many low deflection shafts (Predator, OB, and others) and liked OB best, but right now I'm playing with a non-low deflection shaft and liking it just fine.

Still wondering how to do it I hope it'll be OK to give this thread one bump. After this, I'll let it die a natural death. Thanks in advance for any help with this issue.

I was trying to register a friend for the DCC banks and as I proceeded through the process, I never saw any option to put in a name other than my own. Any suggestions?

Photos of Billy Mack Alf Taylor asked me to post some pics of his dear friend, Billy Manning. Here they are.
