THAT is the BEST one ever!!:thumbup:

There is a book titled The Inner Game of Tennis. Although it is based in tennis it is a good read for understanding the inner game or mental aspects of most any game or competition. Another good book is The Pursuit of Excellence by Terry Orlick. It is a sports psychology book and also a very...

Pretty cool, thanks. I used to see that TV show when I was a kid. Seems that it is hard to answer just yes or no to some of the questions. As the applause increased when they showed what his line was, it seemed that many had certainly heard of Minnesota Fats even though they were probably never...

It looks like a chalk urinal!

Probably not a troll. Just interested in how things work at the professional tournament level.

My favorite was from a guy I knocked out of the losers bracket in a local tournament... " If I practiced and played as much as you guys do I would be just as good!!" Yeah well, that's kinda the point. You don't and you aren't!:D On the other had I have had some really bad games that I won...

It's worse for me! I am a POOLOHALLOHOLIC!! No cure?? GOOD! Don't want one!!

Ooopps! I am the one who is mistaken! That's what I get for reading stuff from my phone! I saw an extra "f" in there I guess!:sorry:

75 percent off is not what I would call a "little less"!

Interesting thread! I have a Rich Chudy custom cue with three of his shafts. One shaft hits like it was made by God Himself! The other two are really just more average. The really good shaft has some "sugar" in the grain and the grain runs more parallel with the shaft than the others. The hit in...

That puts it in the vertical logo era I believe What model is it? I had an H-1 and and H-4. My dream cue was an H-13 and still is. I don't play enough anymore to justify the cost of a good used one. I had a friend who had an H-15 back then. They are gone now but I still have something of a...

More time actually playing pool and less time reading about it would be a good thing for all methinks!

It wasn't me that did it but... I sold a Huebler H1 (vertical logo) to a local player once. The next time about a week later when I saw him, he was still using his regular cue. I asked him why he didn't have the one I sold him. He took it home just after he bought it from me. He left it leaned...

Plastic dust collectors! I have two boxes of them in the attic. The first couple of them are fun as it is usually early in your pool playing career when you get them. Anyone remember the Grandy tournaments back in the early or mid eighties? I dogged an easy eight ball that cost me one back...

I have a watch on Ebay for "Titlist" and those ads come up and get deleted over and over. Surprised that they don't suspend the account.

...When you are playing a ring game of 3 ball with 5 others for a quarter a game, dime a scratch, one tie all tie, and there is $127.60 in the pot.

Playing on a sheet of ice maybe?:eek: In any event it should be child's play to run out the rest of the solids with no stripes running interference. In a league game I would be more than happy to give that a shot. It should also be easy to plan things to keep the 8 ball in a safe place in case I...

I agree. One could take the position that the guy that shot saw the scratch coming and knew he was dead meat so was conceding the game prematurely. Short of that, if he was just trying to get a premature win, it is a cheap shot at a hustle attempt and he really deserves the game as a loss. If...

I used to play in a bar tournament that had a Valley table. If you put a lot of draw on the cue ball and was shooting a ball into one side pocket straight on, the ball would pocket then crawl up the pocket backing and come back onto the table! I just sucked it up as a lesson about that...

Thank you!!
