I've bought a few small things from Seyberts. I liked them enough to buy a couple of their shirts! Pool Dawg may also be a good place to shop! I'll have to check them out.

If it is a logo sticker I would agree. Back in the 90s I bought a new Huebler cue. It had a square sticker in the same place that just had the model number and price on it. I took it off right after buying it and cleaned off any residue. As the years went by, the buttcap yellowed a bit but like...

For really soft shots that are very close I just cradle the cue instead of using any kind of an actual grip.

I had a friend that was really good at that close ball stuff. He was a seasoned straight rail player and could push the three balls around the table endlessly. Two points and I am in hopeless territory already!!

Anything you post as "wanted" is waving a big flag you have money to part with so be very careful about that!

another good book is "In Pursuit of Excellence" by Terry Orlick.

What exactly is a "view"? How long does it take for a "view" to be counted? Someone just taking a quick look out of curiosity then moving on or someone that went there and viewed the whole thing or really watched it for a half an hour or so with real interest? A lot of views or looks may not...

One night at the Name of the Game Tavern, a couple of us watched Dick and Mike Collins play for money. Dick was a pretty good run out kind of player and Mike was a maniac about riding the nine. We watched for a couple hours or more as this went on. In the end, they were very close to even. The...

Ray would talk you to death. You REALLY had to keep an eye on the game with Cocomo. Irrespective of all that, I enjoyed the hell out of knowing them, spending time between games talking to them, and playing against them.

One time we were there for the 9 ball tournament. I had an easy 3 ball out on a guy. I got down on the first ball and felt a stool or chair up against me. I stayed down and just looked back to move it with my foot. Bad idea!! When I looked forward again at my shot, the cue ball was rolling away...

A friend and myself got in a rig game of 3 ball one night in some tavern in White Center. There were 6 or 7 guys in it for a quarter a game and a dime a scratch and one tie all tie. It went on for hours! My friend finally won it. He spent quite some time the next afternoon putting all the change...

I used to carpool down there with Larry Nelson and Kirbie Predmore (RIP, both of you) once in a while. They were Wednesday night tournaments so we had to have a bye in league play to go. A friend and myself used to fill our freezers with meat shoot winnings from local tavern tournaments with $3...

It is out of Japan. I thought it was weird too as I see a lot of guitars from Japan listed like that but in asking around found that it is a very common practice to list like that over there. Sort of being brokered through different sellers. When it sells the other listings are canceled. They...

Willie Hoppe.

Careful, I think it's laced with some really bad stuff!!

Thank you Dr. Dave. It incidentally comes to mind that you have a very good voice for commentary. You are clear and articulate, no stumbling over words or repeating what you said earlier, no "ummm" or "uhhh". It is like you were a professional commentator at one time. It is not always the...

I played a lot locally in the 80's. There was no world wide web so info didn't get around very well or fast like today. We had some good books. There may have been some VCR tapes about pool but I never heard of any back then. I had some steel joint cues back then and still do. If it hits well I...

My response to that has always been "I don't know, let me count them for you".

And it doubles as a ping pong table!!

I agree. If you take your cue apart anytime in a match it should be a concession of the entire match. Taking it apart shows you are done playing at least that match and that you are off to go do something else. Hard to imagine anyone ever taking a cue apart early in a match only to put it back...
