Jimmy is totally capable of beating anybody on those tight tables. Looks like he has a chance to win the tournament. It looks like a lot of tough players showed up. I recognize a lot of them, and they're all hard to beat. I wish Jimmy well!

Nfty9er, to be honest with you, I could have went rail first with the shot and made it real quick. I looked at my easy out and then saw the opportunity to take Rodney immediately out of the rotation, which I really wanted to do. As it turned out, I missed the shot. I'd like to shoot it again...

Last Two, this is sometimes used as a proposition shot. I've seen Mike Massey make it, but it is a very low-percentage shot. If I was confronted with it and both balls were frozen, I'd probably try to bank it cross-corner, playing the ball short in hopes of a safety if I miss. If the felt was...

I remember all those games. Those guys played on that table every single day on the hour, by the hour. If this is the same "JR" that I think it is, you played in the games yourself, and sometimes won. Did you ever go to the track with Crusher? ;) Some of the regulars in the pay ball game at...

Some of it was true, and there's a few spots where he might have taken a little creative liberty. All in all, it was a pretty good write-up! :)

Scott, when you're ahead, you got to make sure you stay on top of things. Don't take no one lightly. I've done the same thing in the past myself, but when it comes time to win, it is very important not to let your opponent get to the table. If you can't run out, don't go for a stupid shot...

Good luck, Jimmy! Jimmy, I know you can do it. Shoot 'em down one by one, and take no prisoners. Tell Peppie, I said hi! Does he still have his bar in El Monte? Wishing you the best, and may you get all the rolls!

Barbara, I miss a lot of the fun from Bellflower and some of the people, not all of them, as you know, but most of them. I saw Brook at the Open. She was with Dave Hemmah and Tang Ho. We were cutting up, and it was good to see of the gang from California. :)

Scott, I haven't been to the Midwest in a while. I know they gamble in St. Louis a little bit, and they used to gamble in Olathe, Kansas. I prefer to go down South because I hear that's where all the action is at, like Mobile, New Orleans. I understand that anybody can go down there and get...

As far as taking a deep breath and letting it out, I like to take a deep breath and hold it in. It seems like it sort of makes me focus better. Then again, it's all part of a mental routine. I have found myself biting down on my teeth, and instead of letting all the air out, I tend to hold it...

Williebetmore, I'll try to make it a point to experiment with the Q-Skill Challenge before Christmas and post the score. Thanks for the invite! :)

Cut Shot, I've played in a few Cue and Cushions. Which Cue and Cushion is it? Refresh my memory. I've been over there with Dave Matlock, and we were playing across the border in Cohakia.

Some rails hold up more than others, and it depends on how wet the table is. Tables that are really wet will hold the balls up a lot more than tables that have new felt. First, experiment by setting up a shot using INSIDE and OUTSIDE english, so that you can see how the object ball reacts to...

Today is the second day of the 2-day event. There was a players meeting on Thursday night at 8:00, and the players came and were handed a complimentary gift package from Olhaussen pool tables with a lot of goodies. Really nice present and very much appreciated by all. The first round was...

I've been using a medium Moori, but I think I like the hard Moori tip better. They don't have any hard Mooris around here, the last time I looked. So I've settled on using the medium Moori. Personally, I do not use a layered tip. It seems like they mushroom on me a little. It's like my cue...

It's true that players will use inside english to stiffen it. I like to use a lot of kill twist. I seem to get more english by holding the cue ball up with the correct finesse and stroke. Most of all the really good bankers do that, anyway, like Piggy, Bugs, Truman, Buddy, and myself. I...

Good to see you again in Quincy after all those years. I miss Swanee and a lot of the other players that went to College Billiards. I always had a good time going to that Tuesday night tournament. Those three out of five games were pretty hectic back then. Me and Swanee would go down to the...

I saw Wayne at the Open, and I've seen him in a couple of other places, but I don't know if I was that good friend he was going to watch play. I remember Wayne Collins from Atlanta, Alabama, and all over. We've always been friends. We've never gambled against each other and have always...

Offhand, I don't remember the Fish. Maybe you can refresh my memory about the The Golden Cue in South Carolina. :confused: Keith

Corey Deuel is wowing the crowds with his expert shooting capabilities and defeated Troy Frank, who comes in fourth place. In the semi-final match, Corey had a jump shot on the 8-ball. He whipped out his jump cue, successfully pockets the 8, and the cue-ball drew back the length of the table...
