Terry GREAT post! Some one in an earlier post asked for a story about Luther, well here it is. In 1967, when I was 15 y/o, I worked at George Baker's Pool Hall in Fuquay Springs (now Fuquay Varina) NC on main street. THE REASON, I love this stupid game to the core is because....Luther would...

There was a stretch there where Luther Lassiter for the cash beat everyone, even Buddy. But as Luther got older Buddy was in his hay day that changed. Something Bill Schick told me, who use to travel on the road with Buddy....he said that Buddy told him when discussing this subject, for the...

First, I play four to five hours a day and work a full time job. I have my own 9 ft table in my "cave" and it is furnished nicely because it was my wife's idea for me to go back to competitive pool. When we had kids around the house, it was hard to take away from the family, wife or kids to...

My dad told me something when I was growing up..... If someones hair or clothes are not in your mouth, then you dont have any right to say anything about it.

I agree completely Roy.

Luther Lassiter Stan Shuffett

I went to Stan because of another teacher and great player, Stevie Moore. Stan is unique because, he was and is a good player himself, his chosen profession was and is teaching (I think 30 + years in KY, so he has trained and has experience teaching) but to me the best thing is that he really...

I get my BD from Troy, here is the email for Troy, he is known on this forum as the KOINNKID: thoennes@netzero.net or by PM ing to KOINNKID. I got my BD from him in three days tops. He has great service. PS: Celtic, GREAT POST.

Sarah, Well written and you tell em!!!

I know that Blue Diamond is expensive compared to Master, however I am convinced that it is better chalk after recently buying some from the KOINNKID on this forum. BTW Troy is a great source for Blue Diamond if you want to get some. What proved the worth of this chalk to me is: I run a drill...

Creedo, actually all points havent been brought up about this and please show me where they have done any tests on this before they just came out with an edict and banned a bunch of tips that have and are in use the world around. Wonder how many players used phenolics in the Philopino Open...

Before they ban anything, lets determine a few things: 1. Is the cue which is phenolic slamming into the rack, which is the most resistive part of this equation, the phenolic "event" that is causing the damage? OR...is it the contact of the phenolic tip, which has even less resistance total...

Sorry, but I am jumping on your bandwagon. The Billiard Congress of America can set the rules as they see fit. I can also chose to NOT participate in any of their events. Phenolic is the SAME material that good Aramith balls are made of so dont tell me they are damaging the balls. Because...

First off, BCA or not: 1. How does phenolic tips, made out of the same material as a phenolic balls, damage phenolic balls? It doesnt, unless the phenolic tips are made out of a different phenolic than are in premium grade Aramith Phenolic balls (not cheap balls). 2. I understand the ban on...

These pictures do not even come close to show how beautiful this cue is in person. The hit of this cue does not possibly get any better. Troy is undoubtedly one the best imho.

Happy Birthday Ray!

It was fine last night but half way thru the first semis it started freezing... they have some kind of issue there.

I agree Joey A...lets call a spade a spade....while Charlie Williams may be a good coach however this was said by Yu Ram Cha to Sunny Griffin in an interview about her training with Stan Shuffett in KY... Yu Ram: My impression of his teaching was "If anyone could make me a world champion, it is...

All greatness comes from NC. Just wanted to settle this now and for all! :wink:

My condolences and prayers to friends and family.
