    David Howard

    a tiny David Howard story I was watching him play a match back in the 1980s where he made a terrific run out in a hill/hill game. He got out from a near impossible position and just after the game a guy standing next to me asked him about a particular shot in the game he had just finished...

    Hey, Alf Taylor, are you there?

    Yep Yep, those are the two stories I was thinking about. The story about Dick McMorran (San Jose Dick) made me think back to a shot I saw him make playing 9 Ball. I don't recall who his opponent was, but I still remember Dick looking at a shot on the 4 ball. Making the 4 was no problem, but...

    Hey, Alf Taylor, are you there?

    I was talking to Alf Taylor this morning about a couple of amazing shots that were played against him by top players. He said he would put up a post about the shots today, so I am trying to prompt him to do so. Cole Dickson was one of the players he mentioned.

    John Brumback's "Bank Pool Secrets of a World Champion"

    Probably not and also no one at all who is going to suggest that enticing new blood into the game was ever, for even a moment of time, a thought in the mind of John Brumback or the man who produced the DVD. I CAN tell you why it costs $50. Want to know? It costs $50 because they thought they...

    Is the 7 and out good weight playing a monster player?

    Maybe someone has already said this, but.... I read most of the posts in this thread, but not every word, so maybe someone has already said this.... A truthful hustler (oxymoron here) once told a sucker that when it comes to giving weight, "I may give you what you want, but I will never give...

    Alf Taylor's "The Other Side of the Road"

    Alf, when you get a Website set up to sell your book, it would be easy to use it to sell the DVDs as well. Or even do some combo deals with the book and one or more DVDs as a package.

    Interesting comment on balance point from a pro player

    I was surprised yesterday to see Jeremy Jones walk into my local pool hall here in Florence, KY. He and a couple of road buddies were passing through. Jeremy is a strong player, winner of the 2003 (?) U.S. 9 Ball Open. We were chatting about cue characteristics when he commented that he like...

    My game stinks

    I guess it's been about 50 years since you and I first played pool at Cotton Bowling Palace. Knowing your pool "origins," I interpret your original post to the setting of a trap for the unwary pool player/gambler. You are probably playing the best pool of your life and locking up the locals in...

    You can be sure that when the book is available there will be a posting in the Wanted/For Sale forum and probably here in the main forum as well. Thanks for asking.:)

    Alf Taylor's "The Other Side of the Road"

    Lou, thanks for that terrific review in the OP. We should have had you write the back cover blurb for the book. And yes, this is the book that I delivered to the 16 people on AZ who asked for a copy when I posted on here just before Derby City. I hope a few more of them will post their reviews...
