No On Site Gambling? Very insightful comment. Soliciting gambling is illegal in our great state of Arizona. To do so via the internet would put me at risk of being arrested and prosecuted. This does not mean that outside wagering would not take place between backers, hence the incentive...

What is the incentive? Good question! No "on site" gambling does not mean "no gambling" . Soliciting gambling is illegal in the great state of Arizona. To do so via the internet would put me at risk of being arrested and prosecuted. Any wagering between players and their backers could...

I would like to know who might be interested in matching up top players in a mini series patterned after the Derby City Classic? Short Rack Banks: Eleven Games...... Game value = three points each Nine Ball: Thirty Five Games...... Game value = two points each One Pocket: Seven...

Webster defines a "Forum" as: As defined in the dictionary, a "Forum" is a public place for open exchange of ideas. That said, I believe our AZB Forum to be exactly that. Therefore, provided the discussion is kept in good taste and not mean spirited, then any topic related to this sport we...

Missing Long Shots Hi Poolsleuth: I would agree with most of the advice you received. Now I will offer my own You are playing with one of the best hitting cues made. My advice to you is to call the cuemaker who made it.... Jack Madden is not only a fine cuemaker but a world class player...

Bushwacker I remember in the mid eighties when Bushwacker ran with Bucky Bell, a strong road player who could get your money in a hurry. There was a bar in Midland, Michigan known as Fricks. It was owned by a husband and wife team. They sponsored big tournaments at the Holiday Inn in...

I had a Diamond 7 foot table w/860 Simonis cloth. It was an awesome table with very unforgiving pockets as they were "pro cut". The rails were extraordinary and I would put them up against any rail on any other table made! I obtained Freddy's book and applied his systems to the table no...

Cliff Joyner and Keith Bennet I watched a lot of the action during the first three days of the DCC. Without a doubt the match between Eric Durbin and Cliff, wherein, Cliff gave Durbin the break and played him 10 - 7 in 1 Hole. They played for a total of $45,000.00 with Durbin's backer...

Joss Cue How about a price? I am for certain interested. Cross Side Larry A few months ago I bought a really nice 1989 Joss J-17 model. I bought it for nostalgia purposes (always wanted one when I started playing pool as a kid) and with the intention that I might become a collector of older...

Diamond or who else? I have owned one Valley Cougar seven foot bar table, one Diamond Pro seven foot bar table and now have a nine foot Diamond Pro with 860 Simonis. I have played on Olhhausen and Brunswick Gold Crown for many continued hours of competitive play in all games. I will take the...

I was at the VIP seating and saw Jason's shot perfectly. It was dead on for two rails cross side but Jason did not recognize the shot and chose to one rail it across. he did not hit it stiff enough inside to hold up the out angle and he went long allowing Jason to run four and out. It was...

Jesse was in the money action and when I saw him, he was having a hard time getting a game. I wanted to see him play Eric Durbin or keith Bennet or Sparky but I did not see him in action. I remember him when he was fourteen years old and hanging with Jon Kuchero at Miller Time Billiards in...

Opinion of the book I practice bank pool 30 hours per week on my nine foot Diamond Professional. I have read Freddy's book cover to cover and practice his techniques diligently. The book is the best there is out there. I predict however, it will soon be overshadowed by Jack Madden's new DVD...

With the new security rules in effect regulating air travel, can anyone recommend the best way to transport your cues and how should they be packaged for transport assuming they will probably get pulled after x-ray for personalized inspection? I am attending the DCC in January flying into...

One Pocket Sounds good to me! The idea of the one pocket players signing up in order and doing their tourny that way makes sense to me. Cross Side Larry "Learn from the best, and beat the rest".

Fair Question Mike: You make a good point. I for the most part agree with you. I would simply like to play a few games in the AZ room also. I will only be there for a few days (playing banks). Good luck in your matches and your "Rail Bird" action. Cross Side Larry "Learn from the best...

One Pocket Forum Tourney I do not play one pocket. I think the idea has merit for those that do but would prefer not to dedicate table time for such a tourney unless, it can be made to take place when there is the least demand on the table. I believe with planned challenge events, pro demo's...

I want to clear something up. May I inject a quick story: Pool Hustler ( I will not name) goes to Oakland Raiders football game in Oakland and sits next to a pool player. Conversation starts off friendly and quickly goes to making a pool game after the football game... Hustler meets "sucker"...

games of choice I for one would like to see us stick with the tournament theme. During the bank portion, we could concentrate on a bank tournament in our room. When DCC switches to one pocket, we should hold a one pocket tourney. Lastly, when nine ball is the game we should have a nine ball...

AZ room I sent my check last week, but don't see my name? Cross Side Larry
