Small World I knew Dick when he and I were teenagers playing at Stardust Bowl in Hammond, Indiana back in the sixties. We usually played each other on sight. Stardust was a great all night action spot that drew Chicago players as well as road players regularly. Dick knew me as "Red" at that...

alternative I did something similar by mounting a vice on my workbench, then put the drill in the vice, and build a wood block with a hole in it to hold the tip end of the shaft. The wood block is held in place by a C clamp or wood clamp. The whole thing is completely portable and can be put...

I don't i have any trade, but am interested in the sneaky pete shaft. How much would you want for it, and can you stick a toothpick or something into the insert and measure how deep it is?

Here's the problem I don't think there are too many good players, especially that have been around awhile, that aren't aware that pool ain't what it used to be, and needs help. I am an old geezer thats played for 50+ yrs and like all the guys I hang around with, I lament whats happened to pool...

Lou I haven't played this way yet, I think its going to be tough to get any gamblers to try it. I also think basementdwellers modification is worth some thought.

BasementDweller I personally don't mind making fouls worth two balls cause I would like to deter intentional fouls being taken to escape traps. I'd like to see anything that would make em shoot their way out, and speed the game up a lil at the same time. I play a bit of a defensive game and I'd...

Yes, what I am recomending is that simply the penalty for a foul is changed from the fouler spotting or owing a ball to the fouler transferring a ball from his side to his opponents side (or owe one to his opponent if he has no balls). This will keep the game moving forward at all times, and...

What do I think?? 1.I think not everyone likes to watch 8, 9, or 10 ball. I know I don't. I wouldn't watch it unless I was gettin paid to do so. 2. I think you could use some grammer classes and maybe English 3. I think your comments above add nothing to the discussion, so I don't know your...

Fouls are too cheap I've been reading this thread for days, and while most seem to agree that something should be done to make one pocket a lil quicker, I don't think i've seen two people agree(out of dozens) on any solution. The problem seems to be (especially at the pro level) that the value...

Fred I think Vinniebabarooch was asking me about Stardust Tony. Seems Vinniebabarooch is someone that hung around Stardust too, but I don't know his real name yet. Beaver was a guy I played pool and golf with alot, and course Weaver was a pretty good pool player from Stardust also. Did you...

Do I !!!!!!!! Tony and I were arch rivals, but still friendly. We played alot and went back and forth. If you knew Tony you no doubt remember his "fishing rod" move. Tony always used that on me when my later to be wife was present and watching. It always made her laugh. How bout Rocky...

I don't understand. You can't reduce the number of balls needed more than by transferring a ball from the fouler to the foulee (fouler loses a ball while foulee gains a ball). Please explain what u mean by "a player could refuse to make a ball in his hole and hang the game"? Why would anybody...

Great Book!! Fred I have bought all the recent pool books by several other player/authors, while they are an OK read, they do not compare with this book. Your writing style is very easy to read and tells story after story in a manner that keeps me reading. How did you remember all the details...

Tis a foul and all balls pocketed come up.

Kiss Naji, while your idea and mine have similar effects (reducing the number of balls needed by the non-fouling player), my idea is simply simpler, in that you don't have to try to keep track of your opponents number of fouls. Simply transferring balls from the fouler to the foulee is a...

Heres an idea Reading the last few posts made me think of this. I dont want to see the game changed much as to strategy or rules or up table game or anything else. But I do agree that things need to be sped up,and that taking fouls and accumulating coins by your hole is not good, so how bout...

How bout this for a starter Having read all the suggestions, and for tournament play only, I think the first thing to try is a shot clock giving a player a minute or so to shoot, at penalty of a ball to be paid after his inning is over if he violates the rule. This keeps all the intricacies of...
