    How I got my POOL NICKNAME

    A 14 hour 'grind' where I outran the nuts in my first match Giving someone the wild 8. I was down to my last barrel A bunch of times but wouldn't quit, and he couldn't bust me. From being down a few hundred to just splitting time felt like a win! A good lesson learned, and a new name that...

    From time to time people ask me for advice on their game..

    Jmho.... You were talking WAY over his head. Sometimes just a little 'jargon' or unfamiliar concepts can cause miscommunication. Maybe his 'thinking' brain couldn't communicate with his 'subconscious' brain...... "Inner Tennis" kind of thing. td

    Back in the 70's was the first time I heard of an "air barrel" and thought it was pretty appropriate...... sometime around then I learned about, "jelly" :wink: ........ by the time I learned about the 'wild 8' I was giving it up to someone nicknamed 'bronco' and it took me 14 hours to outrun...

    Legends - Yesterday vs Today

    I'm right there with you.... but I wish Worst had been in his era....might have been as good as Federer and Nadal. I don't get why SJD has animosity toward 14.1 as 1P shares so much with it. I would think any great 1P player could get pretty good at 14.1 if they wanted to... of course stroke...

    Legends - Yesterday vs Today

    A 'champion' is a champion IMHO...... they find what they need to do to get there, and work tirelessly to do it better then the others. I doubt from all the stories that either side would have to like it, but to say kicking and banking weren't known in the past like today isn't true. Didn't...

    Championship tour edition colors

    I have the camel color. Unless it is needed for design purposes, I wouldn't go That route. The contrast vs the balls isn't very good for 'older' eyes. Using tan chalk Does minimize shaft bluing though. TD

    Mosconi Cup: This is what I saw....

    I'm not sure that if I were at an elite level in the sport, that I would want to help another competitor and/or share strategy or skill base with them. I know it is a significant payout for some, but even given that I'm not sure I would help. Maybe I'm just selfish.. Why do the euros gel...

    Olhausen Champion Pro

    I love the accuracy of the Olhausen rails!! Pockets with the deep shelves not so much. Great practice table.... not so good for 14.1...will command your respect and concentration. May not be too much fun to play on if, you're less than shortstop speed. JMNSHO td
