    Your Favorite Pool/Billiards Literature

    Hi Bob. I was sorry to see my books "Do It For The Game" and "Just Do It For The Money" dropped off your list. DIFTG was on there for a time. I have a few of those left. I sold out of JDIFTM. They are both available for Kindle. Bob Campbell

    Johnnyt RIP

    Very sad news. You feel a friendship with many of the posters on this site. I enjoyed his postings. I tried to meet him once when I was heading in his direction but he said he really didn't feel well enough to play. Never met the man but I feel a loss of a kindred spirit. So long JohnnyT. I will...

    I found my earliest post 6/3/95 under aaboutpool Back in those days "allaboutpool" as a handle was too long. Bob

    I was there with my dialup AOL service. Used to be some good postings and discussions before a certain "trick shot world champion" joined and took it down. Bob

    Ball cleaner

    Looking for a ball cleaner for my men's club. Not looking for anything new. We only have 2 tables so the balls don't need to be cleaned often. Anyone have an old Bludworth maybe? I know I can make one but I'm not crazy about the scuff marks that sometimes get left on the balls. Anyway, if you...

    Callaluca cue

    Love my Callaluca. If you are not familiar with his work it is very solid. Great hitting cue. Best of all, Joe is a standup guy if you ever need repair or adjustment. Bob

    Hey Old Guys--does the fire still burn?

    So, not that anyone really cares, but here is an update on my play. Been playing every week in a league. Though I am not the top shooter I am 10-3. My ego gets stroked when I play and the younger guys watch and stay quiet. I am considered a position player and not a shotmaker. I swear 10 years...

    Fargorate VS Pro Player designed rating system

    As a 65+ player I got to say there is no reason if I compete against a 20yo there should be any extra consideration. I do however wish there were more "senior" events. As a final note, there is nothing in the world sweeter (ok, maybe a few things but just making a point) than the look on the...

    Seriously, how lame has pool become?!

    ROTFLMAO. Camel CIGARETTES dumped pool after 3 years. It was essentially done after 1 year but they had to fulfill contract commitments. Outside of local beer sponsorships there is nothing going on. In fact both Miller and Bud had at one time sponsored on a national level. So, who is going to...

    Seriously, how lame has pool become?!

    What he said. The funny posts are where posters say, as if no one ever thought of it before, "and you can go out and get sponsors". Uhmmmm... no company is interested in sponsoring pool given its reputation of hustlers, smoking, drinking, fighting etc,, deserved or not.

    Hey Old Guys--does the fire still burn?

    Well thanks deanoc. I wasn't asking if I could make a living at pool, that would make me an idiot. Or I could be like some passive/aggressive dude that didn't read or grasp what he read. You might try rereading the post. If you have nothing to contribute why don't you find a pool cue to sell...

    Hey Old Guys--does the fire still burn?

    It's funny, I haven't lost the desire to play. I love playing. I just can't get my brain into these tournaments. I play in the leagues, ring games or just pick up games just fine. I hate being the "some old guy" that a young guy beat. Once upon a time I would chew the leg off of a table if it...

    Hey Old Guys--does the fire still burn?

    So after many years absence I started to play tournaments again. I keep doing the two step. I lost to guys I would have gladly put the money down and played. Sadly, they not only beat me, but I stunk! I just didn't have "it". I didn't have focus or drive. I was just a guy with a pool cue in his...

    Please Make the 4 Ball purple again

    Actually Pat Fleming did in an early match. But Pat is colorblind so he certainly should have been looking at the numbers.

    Scranton 7 ft Diamond tables

    The Elks in Chelmsford, MA has at least one, and I believe two 9' Diamonds. If you can track down Dave Eghdall I believe he has some.
