Balls Dennis - very informative post, as usual. The room that I was doing much of my playing in last year only had old Centennials and no ball polisher. The CB had a red triangle on it (not sure of the brand) and seemed light. Especially going into the rack, it just seemed like the balls...

Where That night we played on a GCII at Jack n Jill's Billiards in Wilkes-Barre, PA.

Yeah! That's it...LMAO!!! Excerpted from Jay's "Pool Wars": "It all came crashing down at Caesars Palace [Las Vegas] in 1985. Everything looked good during the course of the event, and it came down to Dallas West, Terry Bell and Earl [Strickland] on the final day. Once again the matches were...

Mosconi preferred high point challenge matches for the title rather than multi-player round robin tournaments. Apparently some of today's pros like them as well as many fans. With the growing popularity of long, multi-day 9 and 10 ball matches (SVB v. Mika; Earl v. SVB; etc) perhaps a long...

Down 50 It was a good session. But I need to say Winston was playing great and had me down 105-55 when I hit him with a 43. And later in the match he made an equally impressive comeback. We extended the match from 200 to 300 when the score was 198-187. If we hadn't extended, the game would've...

Residuals Why are the men not there? On ESPN? One word. Residuals.

Yeah, but those 49,000 hits came in 48 hours!!! Earl's the Charlie Sheen of pool and the scoreboard thread is his Twitter.

Great Job Excellent job with the pictures! They look like shots you'd see in a magazine! Ron F

Peace And it was so peaceful until 20 minutes ago. What went wrong?

Big Tables The last year the big tables were used for tournament play (Straight Pool Championship) was 1949. The tournament was won by Caras and Jimmy will always be remembered as the last champion on the 5 x 10. Correct me if I'm wrong Jay, but 5 x 10's weren't popular in the south. And...

-r- Excellent player. I have 1 -R- and I'm awaiting another. Plus, Jerry starts his shafts a year in advance so a great 2nd shaft could be had fairly quickly. Good luck with the sale. Ron F

Brunswick Centennials Best deal I found on Centennials was from Scot Surbine at Proficient Billiards - available online. Google it. Ron F

Yes Sometimes it attracted "too many" people and the crowd overflowed into adjacent booths - which was repeatedly discouraged by Charlie on the public address system. Oh yeah, Charlie on the public address system - that was another big draw! "Ladies and gentleman, I'd like to turn your...

New Cue? What did ya get??? Ron F

Tap Tap...tap...tap...

--- Only that valuable to whoever owns the cue it came in IMO. If possible to cross reference the post date with George's records to determine which cue was shipped in it. If I owned a Bushka that's what I'd do as it would increase the value of the cue - but by that much!?!? Ron F

Kornele I had a set made through Steve Kornele. Give him a look too. Ron F

Downstairs The heat, humidity and french fryer stench downstairs was a handful to deal with. It affected play at the tournament tables as well as at the Straight Pool Challenge tables. Hopefully the temp can be increased and the fryer can be vented or put someplace where it can be vented for...

Challenge Stats Charlie - I'm off from work until at least the middle of next week - so I have a ton of free time. If you'd like you can scan the score sheets and email them to me and I'll crunch the stats. Feel free to send them to rrfaraday@juno.com. Ron F
