Danny Tom: You are doing a great job on the room and securing top players to stop by on occassion. IMO, securing Danny for a visit would be great. I hope he comes. Cross Side Larry

smoking I loved this post so much that I will recast my vote for smoking and drinking. Do not want to be a member of the fun police. Cross Side Larry

Beer in the AZ room. I like all the game suggestions and like williebetmore, believe we should keep it manageable. My two suggestions are that we keep the room "Non Smoking" and no alcoholic beverages. We don't need an alcohol induced scenario to unfold. There are ample facilities available to...

AZ ers at DCC "private Room" I will at DCC from Jan 6 thru Jan 10. I'll kick in half a century note or more if needed. Would like to know more about how table time will be utilized? Bank On - Five and Out, Cross Side Larry Surprise, Arizona

Table Preference I am an "8" rated player by handicap but a "10" in person. I have played over fifty years and owned a couple of custom made eight footers. I then migrated to a seven foot Viking Monarch Cougar Model. With 860 Simonis cloth, I played as Captain at a "7" in Michigan Bush...

Diamond Pro I have a Diamond Pro and love it. Most future BCA tournaments will be held on Diamonds. A three piece slate after assembly is no different than a one piece in terms of play ability. The cusions on the Diamond Pro are the best out there! Cross Side Larry

Top Players Also from Iowa is Jon Kuchero Anyone who wants to go to St Ignatius, Montana and play "John "Get Back Jack" Madden any game that you can name for any amount that you can count, I'll be there to stake Madden. That would include Scott Frost! Cross Side Larry

best nine ball player ever While I agree with your pick of Luther Lassiter at the top, may I share with you that Johhny Archer once ran 17 consecutive racks playing against Bustamante for an $8,000.00 stakehorse match. Bustamante's backer is a Las Vegas Casino owner. I am uncertain of...

eyesight deteriating Get your cataracts removed and you will be playing once again like the old days. I can say this for certain, for I had mine removed (piece of cake) six months ago and now have the vision of when I was a teen ager! Cross Side Larry (Age 65 )

Aiming System I suggest you contact Jack Madden, former world beater and now custom cue maker. If you ask him nice enough, you may get him to teach you the "SAS" system. It is played out in the shaft and in the grip. That is all I can tell you without revealing what I just paid to learn...

Memphis Action I have a couple of players in mind who I would gladly stake if the action is worth while. What did you have in mind and what kind of action are you looking for? Cross Side Larry

Which cue? Do you subscribe to the magazine, "Inside Pool"? If so, there are cuemakers, featured in each monthly edition. Recently there was an edition featuring Jack Madden, cue maker and professional player from the 70"s era. Back then, Jack played with a "Szamboti", recognized today as...

Lighting I have a new Diamond Professional in my rec room. Above the table I have the matching Diamond light fixture and it provides perfect lighting without shadows. My question for you is, why would you pay in excess of $4,000.00 for a magnificent table and then go on the cheap for a...

I don't care if it is or not. You are describing what I believe would be a fun game to learn. Please email me at CrossSidelarry@aol.com I would love to learn the game you describe. Best Regards Cross Side Larry

Jumping May I offer you some tips on jumping: 1) When lining up the jump, determine how high you must get to clear the object ball. A) If you must clear the entire ball, focus your jump with a "center axis" hit (not center ball) B) If you need only to clear a portion of the obstacle ball...

Earl Strickland Whatever makes Earl tick today is a combined result of a bizillion things, many of which we will never understand. I for one would still back Earl in an action game pretty much against anyone on the planet! Cross Side Larry

The Great Ronnie Allen Hi Ronnie: It was a thrill for me to get a reply from you, even though it was meant for the entire AZ Forum readers. I played with George Grieninger, "Sun City Slim" before he recently died. He would always tell me you were in your day the best of the best in nine...

Danny and Ike match up? You might be right? They are both great bank pool players and I believe that clearly Danny would torture Ike in nine ball. But one pocket, I'm not so sure. Cross Side Larry

Justis Case I highly recommend a Talisman case instead of a Justis.
