I just had a phone call from Alf. He and San Jose Dick (Dick McMorran) had just hit the highway on the way to Las Vegas. They are looking forward to saying "hi" (and selling some books) to pool players on the scene at the Riviera. :smile:

Suppose you had the services of an award winning author and you wanted to work with him to create a very marketable and very readable pool-related book. What topic or topics would you choose? Would it be a biography of one the interesting characters from the world of pool? Maybe Earl, or...

Alf is leaving Thursday for Las Vegas and will be at the Riviera Hotel & Casino during the U.S. Open One Pocket Tournament. He will be sitting at a table in the vendors area and would love to talk with any of you AZ people who stop by. This would be a good chance for you to get an autographed...

Yep, me too Sometimes fine and sometimes pages take a loooooonnnnnnggggg time to load.

Get an autographed copy and a photo with the author Alf is leaving Thursday for Las Vegas and will be at the Riviera Hotel & Casino during the U.S. Open One Pocket Tournament. He will be sitting at a table in the vendors area and would love to talk with any of you AZ people who stop by. This...

Yep, been doing it for years I have kept a record of all gambling matches (and every dollar spent on table time) since August of 2008. It lets me know what the true costs of my hobby are and comes in handy when I can't recall how I matched up with someone in the past. But I'm retired, have lots...

Grady, I choose to remember you as you were in this image From one of the Red's tournaments in Houston, TX back in the mid 1980s. Grady, battling on the green felt.

If you won one of Alf's books and liked it, we would appreciate it if you register on his Website and leave us a review of the book. Oh, I guess it wouldn't hurt if you bought a few copies to give as gifts to your friends. :smile: Link to Website: http://alftaylor.com/

I just sent Alf an email about your post. Hopefully, the problem will be fixed soon. When I went on the site a few minutes ago, it looked to me like you could use PayPal, but I'm not sure about using a credit card directly on the site.

Alf's book, The Other Side of the Road: A Pool Hustler's Tale, can now be ordered on his Website: http://alftaylor.com/ If you enjoy/collect books about the colorful characters who inhabited the pool world back in the 1960s and 1970s, this one is a must read. The front and back covers appear below.

I couldn't resist I stole this from Freddy Bentivegna's Website (bankingwiththebeard.com). Maybe he won't mind if I recommend his site to anyone interested in the game of pool. To quote Fred: A pool hustler’s gourmet menu: Lunch: Filet ala Oscar, and a pine float. (Boloney sandwich, and a...

Outstanding images, Steve. I'd be proud to have taken any of those shots. And by the way, it's talented pool photogs like you that have caused me to quit carrying a camera to pool tournaments!:smile:

I suggest that you use a monopod. Even a cheap one can be a huge help when you are using relatively slow shutter speeds.

Sold, pending payment Sold, pending payment. Thanks.

Thanks, I'd had forgotten to say that it is for a 5/16 by 14 pin, like a Joss, for example.

Every now and then I try out a low deflection shaft, this one being the latest. Since I have been playing with Kamui Black tips, I had a Kamui Black Super Soft tip installed by Guido Orlandi when I was at the DCC in January. I just haven't been using the shaft and have decided to sell it rather...

I know that Alf is in the process of setting up a Website for ordering the book and DVDs as well. I believe it is alftaylor.com, but it may not be functional quite yet.

He's just the best! I have dealt with Joe many time over quite a few years and he has always provided exemplary custom service. On several occasions he went to great lengths to provide exactly what I was asking for and always satisfied my admittedly overly picky requirements.:smile:

What a twist! After reading every post in this thread, it seems to me that what started out as several good reasons for NOT doing business with this cue maker, has, at this point, turned into a lot of reasons FOR doing business with him. All the testimonials, and Jim's very credible post, lead...

I think my feelings were a little hurt when I realized that he saw me more as a "go fer" than a friend. Alf and his brother Jack were closer to being friends with Ti than I ever was.
