    New Cue Syndrome -- Real or Imagined

    I also was a hardcore McDermott cue guy I loved that cue and I could literally drag the cue ball around the table as if it were on a string . Well fecal matter happened so it's in retirement for a extended stay , and along comes a Mike Gulyassy cue and I remembered the conversation I had with...

    New pool room: The Crooked Cue, Colorado Springs, CO

    Yes , I've realized that people can be really worthless this isn't anything new , I was referring to playing pool with my rack of pool balls and was wondering if I'd still have to leave a credit card for a deposit . Not eating a meal .

    New pool room: The Crooked Cue, Colorado Springs, CO

    What if you brought in you're own pool balls to play with and just wanted to " rent " the use of their table then what ? I agree it's a insult to have to leave a deposit before use of their equipment .

    New pool room: The Crooked Cue, Colorado Springs, CO

    These will be on my bucket list of places to stop in and play a few racks and even better if I could be there when a tournament was going on even if I'd be at a disadvantage by not getting to play on any 9' tables .

    New pool room: The Crooked Cue, Colorado Springs, CO

    In all honesty I doubt I'd be sick of pool ! I miss playing pool on a 9' table and if given a chance to play on a 10' table I'd even use my own Brunswick Centennial pool balls . Sadly I'd run out of money before I would be tired of playing pool , I once did get to play at Colfax Billiards...

    Funny pic/gif thread...

    When in Lewistown I've seen both mule and whitetail deer stop at a cross walk then wait for traffic to go by then they cross on the cross walk after looking both ways . The down side to this is there are Mtn lions that fallow the deer into town and the city / town doesn't want to thin out the...

    Name this tip

    To my untrained eye my best guess is a toss up between a Le Pro or a Triangle tip . I used a lot of Le Pro tips back in the day when I played daily .

    Jay if you have his phone number give him a call , as I've mentioned before it's good for one's soul to get a phone call just to say hello , how's things or what's new and exciting , or take the chance of not calling him and things take a turn for the worse and you loose that opportunity .

    What do you do ..when putting in the work doesnt work?

    It's a huge challenge to find quality top shelf players in Montana without a great deal of traveling involved . Because I stepped away from competitive pool playing for many year's I'm unfamiliar with who may of taken the place of those better players back in those days . There's more than...

    Slip Stroke - Do any players have a slip stroke today?

    Frank McGown and I talked about Jimmy Moore's slip stroke and he flat out said that I shouldn't try to emulate it , because he felt it would put me back to square one and starting all over again or something to that effect . However Jimmy had the cue ball on a string on those Corner Pocket 4...
