    Is it a legal bank shot when...

    No! The rail adjacent the pocket is not a bank. Well unless you are playing the young man I encountered in Canada. His daddy told him otherwise. 🤷‍♂️

    How Common Is This?

    I like this! 👍 If I find myself practicing aimlessly. It's definitely time to do something else. In competition keeping the self to self analysis cordial when seated and the focus pin point when at the table. Of course the in the chair analysis dictates the focus point and adjustments...

    How Common Is This?

    While sitting in the chair do the roadside repair. 🤷‍♂️ Self analysis is do able. I proofed it going down 6-2 racing to 7. Nine ball on the big stage no less. Talk about the wheels falling off. Sheeesh rack after rack I handed him 3 ball outs. Eek. The poker expression is A Chip and A...

    My Dad's coaching for golf was, "have another beer and you won't care." It works for 🎱 too. 🤷‍♂️ 😉

    How Common Is This?

    True story; I was in my longest slump and in exasperation switched hands. (When in early training of Lefty). I shit the shot in and immediately started getting the rolls and the spell was broken. 🤷‍♂️

    Wow! What day is this? The Saturday eve tournament started at 6 ish. Finished with 2nd place at 6:10 in the a m.Sunday morning. 🤷‍♂️ Pretty sure we sorted out the best 3 person team available in Kingman. Race to 5 or less based on handicap playing 8 ball. 🤷‍♂️ Zach had to bring it at the end...

    Ever do this?

    My offer became the other hand with Cole in the back of the van ....burning one at 2 am. For 160 that I had in that pocket wasn't enough for that lesson. 🤷‍♂️ I was sweating That Bluff. 😉

    Ever do this?

    Well for sure. So when Ronnie Allen played one handed off handed with a broom stick was his offer. Prepare to pay for a lesson. 🤷‍♂️ Pinch your wallet and whatever squeeze out play for it. 🤷‍♂️ Oh what lessons.

    How Common Is This?

    Perhaps a tangent tchal but the topic makes me think of the difference between The Natural and the trained. In my earliest sports training (little league baseball in 1959) for 4 years 8-12 years old. I encountered a few Naturals that just did the (hard stuff like skate boards) easily first try...

    Ever do this?

    I have played with a broom handle as a money making proposition. A wooden handle that held chalk well and I was able to sweep up when done. 🤷‍♂️ No Really. It ain't the arrow it's the Indian.

    How Common Is This?

    It's a common nightmare. I just awoke from a nightmare. First I lost my cue then my 9 mm then my wallet. Not sure of the meaning but sure hope it never happens again. I am still in a cold sweat. 😉

    SVB shouldn’t be allowed to turn hearing aids off?

    When it's my turn you be quiet. It's unsportsmanlike to shout out while I am down on a shot. It can be well intended. Well rare but have had my opponent interject to tell me I was shooting the wrong ball. While well intended it's unsportsmanlike. NO COACHING!

    Things to consider for those forum members buying their first pool cue

    Well, the description has me drooling. The craftsmanship could make it a gem or a rock. All depends how it's made. Bill Stroud cues were well made and beautiful at the upper end for price and quality. Roger Petit made sneaker cues from broken cues salvage. A $60 cue with a small red fiber...

    SVB shouldn’t be allowed to turn hearing aids off?

    Well I found a way a long time ago. I was approximately 8 years old(1959). My mother only heard with a hearing aid in her one good ear. It was in the frame of her glasse and turned off with a flip of the switch on the glasses. When she didn't want to listen to my whine she just shut it off. On...

    SVB shouldn’t be allowed to turn hearing aids off?

    The room owner on The Hill in Tacoma used his antique cash register as a move. It rang a bell every time the drawer opened so that's where he kept the quarter for the next rack. His timing was good. His money was good too though, so a confrontation wouldn't help. I just learned to make the Ding...

    SVB shouldn’t be allowed to turn hearing aids off?

    Auditory shark moves were often employed back in the day. Lake City Red was the master of shark moves. A favorite move of his was jingling the quarters in his pocket when I was down on the game ball. He had denial as it was a coin op table. He also timed his remarks to a bystander for effect. My...
