Favorite quote is unatributed, "the last fight I was in I won by 20 yards. Ta dump, rim shot. 🤷‍♂️

It's the size of the fight in the dog. Stand your ground. "I can't beat your slow game." Is my favorite quote. 14 racks of 9 ball in 45 minutes. 🤔 Well I guess if you don't get a shot for 45 minutes.....it wouldn't be fun. Uh oh gotta know when to Walk away and when to RUN. If you see me...

The cue slider facilitates minimum friction. Still need to keep the shaft and slider clean. I wash the slider weekly, well weekly (now). There was a time I played a lot more. Shrug 🤷‍♂️ The button tab allows a pinch of variable tightness. The Joy of the open bridge. 🤷‍♂️ Simple, 🤔 kinda like...

It's real quick. And just a few strokes up and down with the dry paper towel.. The squeek tells me when it's clean and dry..

I wash my cue when I wash my hands. When I still have soapy water on my hands I wipe from tip to joint. Rinse and wipe with clean water then use a paper towel to wipe dry and burnish.. The oil from my hands has given the maple shaft a seal that keeps the wood from absorbing before I wipe it...

The morning after the night before My favorite Story is to awaken to the blazing sun, as I was sleeping in the 76 Vega wagon. It had been park directly in front of the main entrance to the tavern. It was approaching noon, so as I wobbled up the steps and into the bar I knew that they had all...

Life's lessons Are the important ones. Be a survivor is my pool strategy. Think of Cool Hand Luke, "I got my mind right" 🤷‍♂️ Or as Yogi Berra said, "Half the game is 85 percent mental." The Butch Cassidy and Sundance jump. It took a leap of faith for me to switch from object ball to...

👍 Ding Ding Ding 👍 Cole broke with his Joss with ivory ferrule and waterbuffalo tip. He explained it along that line. Surely he could be accurate with a break cue but he was so tuned to the weight balance and flex of his shooter. The slightest change could lower the quality of the results. He...

Have I mentioned Surgical Precision? My Dr uh Dr Polka the army Dr. That delivered me in 1951 and nicked me with Tarzan.🤔 In '68 he taped me up and sent me back into the football game. He always applied the tap higher than I had shaved the leg. eek grrrr. My knee had displaced in a practice...

That was Friday night. He came into My Home room(The Seed 2) first thing Saturday morning and wanted to play.....for 5. I replied "We can play for 10 or 20 but not 5. I can't beat you for 5." He started whine ing to prospective customers as they entered that Saturday morning. "He Has My Money...

I had just won 14ish games in 45 minutes. 9 ball at 10 a rack on a 8 foot barbox. He was a young player on a road trip. He was doing fine coming from one of the Carolinas to Seattle. I had 120ish in my pocket and had just quit my day job. I was down 90 and sure didn't want to find a job...

Do it the Same. Every time. Well guess that makes it a routine. Establish the platform for the line of sight. I so enjoyed watching Ichiro.

Cecil and Cole played 7 games in 35 minutes, with the breaker runing out in the second inning.

Make it a 3 ball one pocket league, to qualify for entry. Give 'm 9 balls. Final 16 get the full rack. 🤷‍♂️ 😉 Darn Meds.

Ronnie Allen played one ball one pocket for significant money. 🤷‍♂️ 4 ball one pocket could be interesting. Well of course keep the shot clock but shorten it. Short Rack Short Clock. 🤔 (Has a good rhythm, but can You Dance to it?) Make sure to enunciat the l in clock. 😉

Is this an inconsistent call? Os it point of contact for other situations?

The physical performance after solving the equation separates pool from chess. When I am playing my best I am devoting every available brain cell to the execution. At the handshake, I only can recall the last shot. Even at that I had to look to confirm when my opponent said, "you shot that left...

First of July Tuesday 2025. Sometimes amazed at still alive. 😉 Watched Randy G podcast and found very interesting bio as he is 8 years my Senior. Seems we hit similar Fargorate numbers, as mine hit 630 ish for a week. I hung at 625 for a while. Hopefully can swap stories. My interaction...

6 weeks lessons from Backward Jan was my best decision regarding my pool game. There's much that strike a chord for me. 👍

Oh gosh starting out so familiar. When I was starting out with 9 ball there was a ring game built around me. When I breached the door after work the Ring Game call went out. When I improved......crickets. if I enquired as to uh, "ring game?" The arm came up to display the watch and followed by...
