Thank you.

Ok - but I rode for years and just sucked. I tried. I loved riding. I had skater friends who were good...but I just didn't have it. Believe me, nobody wanted to be a good skater more than me..but my feet and legs wouldn't listen. It just did not click. And you go on some insulting rant about me...

Did you read the post? Try something once? Just stop.

Cool story Fatty. I worked telemarketing in high school for like...2 months maybe. This was the only job I was ever fired from, and taught me a valuable lesson. So, the company I worked for sold home security systems. So, on the phones our deal was to get our agents an appointment to go out and...

Lucky us.

Hmmm...you say a lot of insulting things, while really not knowing me. That tells me a lot about your character.

That's because he was trying to match up.

His style and creativity are amazing. I love BATA.... but they don't put him "above" Parica. Parica was not as likeable as Efren. The smile, the scratch on the head when he makes a mistake. Efren was and is filled with charm... Parica was just a lion on a leash. He was there to chop your head...

Ok.....PARICA was a monster. he was the most FEARED gambler in his era. Not Efren. PARICA. Prime time Buddy Hall wasn't trying to tangle for the cash with Parica. That is here, in the states. I LOVE Efren as much as everyone. he is the magician. BUT - if he had played Parica in their primes a...

This is a 100% fact. You need to have a natural atheticism that few possess! When I was a kid in the late 80s/early 90s, I had such a passion for skateboarding. I got every copy of Thrashing and Transworld. I watched every skate movie I could. My parents were kind enough to buy me a Tony Hawk...

I have a Southwest, a beautiful QB Custom....but for playing, the only cue I take out to play is my early 90s Schon with 314 shaft. That is like an extension of my arm. Mostly because I only play with it all of the time and I don't really have to think while using it. That is where you want to...

You started pool very late...and you're 65. You are probably asking way too much of yourself...but sounds like you play pretty good! You might be past the "running racks" phase of life. And that is ok. Take up ONE POCKET. It's the best game anyway! Get out of the house....find a pool room with...

I've known a lot of great players (Joshua Filler for example, and many you've never heard of) that play GREAT POOL with that Z shaft and love it. I think Orcollo uses one...I know Mike Davis has used one for years. Just find a butt that balances well with your z and stick with it. Easy/Peezy.

I remember back in the 90s, a guy traded me a big pin Leonard Bludworth (which Buddy Hall was using then) for a Schon I had. It had a brand new MOORI tip. Wow, I really loved it! I definitely felt like I had a ton more "feel" with a layered tip. And darn, it was expensive. I think I remember...

Ya'll are going to hate to hear this.....but I knew MANY GREAT players who never practiced...might take off months and come back playing A level. There is one in St Louis I can think of right off hand. I can think of at least 4 or 5 in my 30+ years of playing (and I've lived all over the country...

Play and stick with your viking. Don't be scared to have a cue repair guy "tune" the shaft for you (making it skinnier/adjusting the taper), and don't be scared to try different tips as you progress in your skill level. The more you get used to ONE cue (they ALL play different), and learn ball...

Didn't Forest Gump win the medal of honor, become the world ping pong champion, own a multi-billion dollar shrimp company, play Football for Alabama under Bear Bryant, and could really mow some grass. How is that failing?

NO...I'm sure he would have tortured me.

I have a funny story for ya, Fatty. A neighbor of mine who lives a few houses down owns a power washing business. While they were washing my house and fence one day maybe a month ago, we were conversation and somehow it got on the subject of pool. I told him yes, I love playing pool, showed him...

Nothing he can do. He's been kicked out.
