I thought I read on here sometime back that somebody had a source for the original or original type of Balabushka bumpers. Does anybody have any idea or remember that?

Ask him about jumping from a plane and not pulling the ripcord. It's a great story.

First trip to Q masters BB tried to double steer me. He didn't know how good I played. I got the last laugh.

I saw one the other night with Jack from accu-stats. He was playing Mike LeBron. It was at Bobby's room in Drexline.

I think you pretty much got it there in that he discovered eBay and a market for his cues that the other cue makers didn't recognize. And he started developing cues to meet that market. I remember when you started doing that and you didn't have to be much of a math wizz with to figure out how...

Everybody and his brother when they first get a lathe build a cue like that. Although that weight system is kind of interesting. Don't really know what to say about the screw in the shaft. Does the grain on the shaft in the butt line up indicating it was originally just a one-piece cue and not a...

I was thinking that when I pulled up that famous quote. My father died in 1971 before cell phones or vcr or any of stuff that you could do yourself. All we had was photos frozen in time. . A couple of years ago I found some old reel to reel tapes in a box. I took it to a place that could copy...

"They say you die twice. Once when you stop breathing and the second, a bit later on, when somebody mentions your name for the last time."

As long as ball in hand exists the jump cue is needed. The penalty is too great. It is not always a safety, often a player may miss and become the favorite. When I began playing about 70 years ago we played pushout. We shot from behind the line on a scratch, balls spotted and so on. The game...

I am afraid it is up to you to make the case against them.

Bringing back an old thread. Time goes quickly. Hard to believe it has been 20 years

Actually I do say. Pool gets few opportunities to actually be in the mainstream media and it seems like when they do it just comes across has nothing. Then you had Charlie Rose it was probably drunk totally unprepared knew nothing about any of them and seem to be making it up as he went...

I remember seeing that when it was on. It was cringe worthy. MS is unbearable. I made it to 17 minutes before turning it off.

What was their response to your complaint?

It can really be strange sometimes. I was watching miz play once and he had a ball about 2 feet and from the hole and the cueball maybe another two feet away from it. All of a sudden he starts getting up off the shot maybe three different times. Then he finally shoots it and misses it by at...

I'm pretty sure this match is on accusats. Pete Fusco is playing somebody I don't remember who but he's playing okay and then at a point he goes completely blind and can't make anything. You couldn't leave the balls out easy enough for him to run out.

Yes and no on Earl. Because I've seen him get so angry where it's not a meltdown he's not even trying to make the balls anymore. He is knocking them off the table and stuff. I was at a tournament in South Florida he was he's playing a local player who has no chance at all. Because the guy made...

Years ago playing push out you were often forced to shoot low percentage shots. It is amazing what you can make when you have to. Richle Ambrose would push out to impossible cuts. You say shoot again and he would make it. We also played a lot of pill pool and ring games. When it was your turn...

I'm being completely honest. Myself of 50 years ago. Historically from what I've heard. Andrew Ponzi.

I know this thread is meant to be kind of a joke but at one time maybe still his book was selling online for quite a bit. Oddly enough though when he first finished it I was at a straight pull tournament in Las Vegas. He had a card table set up out front with the books and he couldn't give them...
