I don't remember if I watched the documentary or not. The footage I saw showed the kid going down deeper into the groove after the car in front of Tony went by. Only one camera but it seems something like that would be hard to be an illusion. I don't really have a dog in this fight not knowing...

It hits a ton and they are selling the best cue they have ever hit with! Hu

I looked it over very carefully back then, over and over again. I have never been a Tony Stewart fan so if there was any bias it was against Tony. However, I try to be fair and I have driven dirt including time in late models and sprint cars. Tony might have missed him had he been in a late...

Let's see, the kid was on pot, wearing a black driver's suit on a dark track, and got down in the groove in front of Tony to act the fool. The only difference trying to avoid the kid if there was time would have been hitting the kid with the front or back of the car. Either way, with the kid...

Fortunately you didn't have to take a weather day. One Spring the weather had turned gorgeous, a rare several weeks of cool crisp sunny weather. A few days of this and it was affecting my crew. I would get a phone call, somebody would call in barely able to croak, "Boss, I don't think I can make...

Just some ramblings here, might sneak in a valid point or two. As a youngster I had a wicked softball pitch. So fast that literally everyone that tried to hit it swung late. The teachers would come running out of the brick building to make me stop before I damaged the brick wall since I flagged...

200 games is still very few for fargo robustness, from what I have seen anyway. Those playing constantly have a robustness in the thousands. I would think you need a robustness over five hundred to have meaning, maybe over a thousand. That is what makes fargo real, a large sample size for...

The slipstroke has it's merits and many of the old time players that didn't use it as their primary stroke practiced it enough to keep it in their bag of tricks. I used to have video of Willie Mosconi practicing that showed him using a slipstroke purely to practice it. In play, it is very useful...

Any of the three or none of the three can determine a winner, not needing all three at the same time. If an event is held, barring splits allowed, a winner will be declared. That is regardless of any of your conditions being met. Things are odd sometimes. In a lifetime of competing I have had...

Agree! Luck can get you through a game. Rarely, but I have seen it get someone through a match. It never gets someone through an event and three events in a row are redhot skills. True greatness takes even more than that but three wins is a damned good start. Hu

I closed out my circle track season with four wins in a row one year. I got very very lucky on the pool table too. The reason was simple, after having a good job for years a recession hit and I was out of work! People found out there was a world of difference between Hu fat and complacent and Hu...

I have coiled a few cables. However when the band got big enough to hire roadies I wasn't around. Coiled a cable or two for old times sake and really pissed off the paid help! A friend and his band opened for Fleetwood Mac. Lee thought he needed to impress so went and bought a new ax. $1,000 on...

We need another emoticon. As happens pretty often, I agree with what you are saying 100% but object to the content being right. Hu

I notice this at all levels including the top pro's. You have made the shot, you didn't pocket a ball, sit the hell down! If you tried to play a safe or two way shot you will know as soon as your opponent gets to the table and you have no further control over the shot. Not unusual to see the...

Over time regulars do tend to play on the same tables each time they come if they are available. I try to spread out and sometimes miss the snooker table I want to practice on because somebody is playing on the three cushion table next to it. Would seem like a jerk with an almost empty pool room...

Lou, when somebody wants to get next to you the best thing is to start listening to the voices or have both sides of a conversation with yourself with one side being an overaggressive very loud profane guy and one being a whiney bitch. Another thing you can do is growl at them when they get in...

so much for that!

Quit talking about the damned Insomnia, it's contagious! Just curious, how do you fare playing the ghost? Break and then ball in hand for your first shot. You don't need to go to forty if you don't want to. Break ten racks, ball in hand, how many balls you make or a run out. Hu

If you have a jukebox in the hall, crank it up when you have to play him. Give you something else to focus your hearing on. Better advice is to get used to people sharking but the jukebox is a short term solution. You can even do that midmatch. "Excuse me, I just had a sudden urge to hear...

I would expect to get three to five cosmos out of forty racks, maybe more. Then there should be a bunch of racks with minor problems that are easily solvable. Getting out once in forty-four times does sound a bit bogus. Perhaps really bad rails could cause that but OP isn't a pilgrim. Rails that...
