Hanbat Korean made Hanbat cues are very good. -Ira

If dying early constitutes quitting early... then Harold Worst would be the greatest. jk: if you know his story, Worst was the best, and definitely no quitter.

I'll second that story, Mike. Everyone from the Albany area (I went to school nearby Troy) knows how great a player Dick (aka Butch) Leonard is. I used to play (er, rack) for him in the late 80's early 90's: he could run 100+ practically on command. My friends called me I-rack instead of Ira...

Dan, Blomdahl knows a lot about deflection - I'm sure that he knows that absolute zero-deflection is physically impossible. I guess that's the marketing hype being echoed... anyway, he seems to like the cue. If he does, a lot of people will probably buy it. -Ira

Molinari This, from an April 18th FB status from Torbjorn: "Just signed a contract with Molinari cues. My new cues and the other Molinari models will soon hit the market. As soon as info material is available, I'll let You know. Made by Predator, with zero deflection shafts, these cues enable...

The other dd I'll second that. Thank you THE OTHER DD for the stream. -Ira

Free valet and free parking. You will want to arrive earlier rather than later so that you can secure a nearby spot and not have to wait longer for your car... If you're from NY, I recommend public transportation. It's an easy subway (+ short walk) and bus ride. -Ira

Hey, it was just one game. I know how tough it is try to play in an event while trying to run it...

This was a fun event with a lot of entries...

It definitely is possible to run 50 by accident... anyway, thanks for the positive and generous expression.

54 run and a renewed interest Years ago, at the Student Union on my college campus in Troy, NY, I used to rack the balls for a local gentleman named Dick "Butch" Leonard who would routinely run hundreds upon hundreds of balls on me. That was a time (before I got sucked over to the "dark side")...
