Atthecat....I hope I didn't intimate that the tighter the pocket the closer it played to a snooker table...rounded pockets on a snooker table vs. the pointed corner pockets on a pool table. Can't compare the two. The reference I attempted to make was since the balls were 1/8 inch smaller in...

PoolHustler...that's darn near as tight as a snooker table corner...VERY nice. Randy, IMHO embrace your pockets. If you can overcome as PoolHustler said, "hung or spit out balls." and dial yourself in with them you're going to be a monster on any barbox you'll ever play on. The reason a...

As a young man, when I was learning, the man that taught me (we'll leave that out of this post) had me run 2 racks left handed, 2 with the crutch, 2 without touching the table..etc..All the while sitting back and having a drink or two with me as the entertainment. Now that I'm back and trying...

Thanks for the feedback guys...It truly is appreciated... Just a bit where my heads at to maybe coerce more conversation on it, not just for myself.. I'm not good at the quotes thing so I'll just point out posters and reply... Chino - Letting her pull 2-3 balls after the break would be too...

No disrespect to Mr. Sigel....LMAO... Jay that was funny sir.

Good day all, I'm trying to get myself back into playing shape at the same time trying to teach my wife to play better. She's a decent shot shooter, shot making is a ways out. She's only ever played bar room 8 ball. I tried only playing 9 ball with her and gave her the 7 and the 8...

If memory serves, as it's been a while since I read it as well, Eddie was retired in the book, but wasn't a booze salesman. He owned a pool hall of his own. I don't remember any kind of long term mentorship done by Fast Eddie, but his comeback to play Fatty again. Playing in malls and on tv...

Good day all, I've finally finished getting my downstairs area exactly where I want it...We have a pool room with an adjacent card room that has a card table, dart board and Pachislo (slot) machine. We entertain a lot with people that have very varying skill levels in pool, darts and...

Sambuca and potato salad for all.... F'em Grady... There were some comments made about the right of the tournament directors having the choice of who they can or do invite to a tournament, this is 100% true. I guess I look at things a bit differently. Why do rooms/bars add on to a purse...

Email on the way sir.

I know it's been a while since this thread was started...Maybe this post can help some folks in the midwest. I had the privledge, yes the privledge to pay someone to re-cover my table a few days ago. As Snapshot mentioned it was Jack Shurtz and his wife Eva. They went ABOVE and BEYOND to make...

Props to NOR Enterprises for you... Sorry for techie schpiel ...I'll make it quick. :smile: The choice to use HTML and CSS when so many sites are going with PHP based sites was great. The site and the room look GREAT. No dead links, quick loads, well balanced, easily navigated. I guess...

I'm with rellek, just stab her. I'm kidding, just adding to his comedic relief. You've talked about your rep, and that's very important. I haven't been in the game for a long time but I always tell my employees, "Do the right thing at the right time for the right reason and we'll never have...

Thank you everyone... This thread has been great for me today...been having some difficulty getting my draw stroke back...the advice in this thread, in all honesty, tripled my drawing distance after about 6 shots. The flicking of the wrist and making sure I kept my back hand relaxed...

As the writing under my name says, I've taken a 19 year hiatus, but I've been back...for about a month or so. :smile: Before I stopped playing it was a McDermott D-20, had a 13.5 mm ferrule and was 60" with the snooker shaft on it. Good lord was it a tank, but I adored it. My head told me I...

Stomper do you live in Wichita too? I heard Greg was a great player. I made mention to my vote of Rob Wolfe several pages back and have been told stories about Greg Stevens by Rob over the years. Rob started in Boulder Co and spent a few years here in Wichita then moved back to PA and now is...

OK....now for the twisteroo.... TIVO ended up recording the 1998 WPBA Classic tour semifinal for me when I was out of town. When watching it back I saw they were playing with Meucci balls...Yes, I said Meucci balls. Did a search on them since I'd never heard of Meucci making balls and...

Good day all, I made it to about page 8 on this thread before I jumped to the end so if I'm repeating something said after that point I do aplogize. Here's my two cents at this and hopefully I can pull both sides of the debate together...if not, heck, another post under my belt...

Couple things from me...not that it's worth a spit.... Jensen, I must concur with the others....the man says it's not his, it's not his...maybe rephrasing with something like "the name Brianna is written under the finish" in your sales pitch. Having the name "Brianna" under the finish DOES NOT...
