    No dispute that Efren is the GOAT, but who is the 9 ball GOAT?

    I lived in Paducah and Buddy came in the pool hall often so obviously I was a fan. Nobody mentions what he was the greatest at in pool. That was cueball control. Buddy would help players in the pool hall whenever he was asked. He was helping me and told me, " I want you to make that...

    No dispute that Efren is the GOAT, but who is the 9 ball GOAT?

    I tend to agree with this. Opinions are like a$$holes, but I think the real deal is the real rating is the US OPEN championships. I think that would be Earl and Shane. I dont know the numbers of championships of each but I would guess they would be on top of the heap. If someone who...

    Efren about to be knocked off the top of the all-time money list

    Years ago, there were articles where it was stated that Jeanette Lee was making more than any professional player in endorsements and if memory serves me right it was $400K per year. This wasn’t prize money or gambling or anything else, just endorsement. I hope that was true. The sad thing was...

    Falcon Cues

    Yep those early early Falcon cues were damn good. I heard they moved and were pretty much just junk. So to answer your question, yes they are still made, but no they are not the quality of the early cues.

    What is the best cue you ever played pool with?

    My current playing cue, a Gus Szamboti Hoppe cue with a Dennis Searing shaft. Moori soft tip.

    George Balabushka, any guess?

    I have a titlist blank cue that I really like but I think it is the least desirable forearms with Szamboti being the most prized, IMO. Therefore because my cue was made in the early 1960's with a titlist blank I would think it would be the cheapest cue that GB made. I dont know but that...

    A local friend here gave me the pricing when he ordered his cue a couple years ago so I could see options and a little idea about pricing. For what I want it is going to be around $6K for me. Ken

    Your favorite Derby after hours match, and?

    Tony Watson playing someone. I had never seen him before and I was impressed. I havent seen him again in years. Hope he is doing okay. He was a character. Ken

    To answer the original question. In December of 2022 Laurie told me they were working on April/May of 2006 and I was on the list at June of 2006. So I assumed that by then end of January I should be getting a email or call about my cue. Nothing yet. Apparently, time is not the same in...

    Balabushka cues made in japan ! are they any good and worth the money ?

    Truly my opinion is these are in line with a Meucci cue. Ok for an entry level cue but spending that much money on a new cue is crazy. IMO, you would be much better buying a Rick Howard, Andy Gilbert or other "custom cue" second hand. You will get a better cue, better shafts, etc. It...

    Griff's

    Its been years ago, and I was in Vegas on business for a week and went to Griffs. It truly was a dump. I was in Vegas for the week, but one trip to this dump was all I could stand. I thought to myself, with all of the league guys having stuff going on there, it should be a showplace. I...

    JB Cases

    Guys - I must have the wrong email for JB Cases. I sent him an email about a week ago with no response. Can someone send me a good email address to order a case? Thanks Ken

    I just bought a butt and sent it to Rick Howard to have him make a shaft. I will probably have more in it than its worth but whatever.

    DCC One Pocket - final rounds

    This format is the same one they have used for over 20 years. IMO it is the fairest way (other than a round robin). Pretty easy to understand. Ken

    Efren

    For you Efren fans, I recommend the Efren verses Jason Miller in the One Pocket Finals video at Accu-Stats. I was there and I couldnt believe and had to buy the DVD. Jason had been playing incredible all week and several thought he was going to snap the tournament off. In the finals...
