Anyone who ever saw or had the opportunity to play pool with the late great pool hustler, "Harry Sexton", will appreciate this. Harry was a classic pool hustler, never revealing anything about what he knew of the game. While working in Flint, Michigan back in the mid eighties, I played with...

Anybody know what brand of cue tip comes standard on "Cuetec" cues? I just bough an "Earl Strickland" signature Cuetec Cue at a garage sale. I am quite amazed at the quality of hit this cue provides, and would like to put similar tips on my Jack Madden and Jim Buss cues. Cross Side Larry...

How about weighing in on this one Freddie and Grady! Curiously enough, I was in the process of re-reading for the umpteenth time all of my old "Inside Pool" magazines, as I am cutting and pasting Grady's writings into a 1P scrap book of the professor's what to do advice. SJD, who we all...

Can the player use the rail to support his cue, or must all shots be made with cue in hand above the rail? Cross-Side-Larry

I believe I know how the science works.

wrist turn debate Keith (and others like Buddy) know things about striking the cue ball that aren't in any book or on any video. Just because they can't explain what they're doing does not make it any less credible. I hope you get my drift. Well said! In this case, we are not talking about...

Truman Hogue "Wrist Turn" Unless, I am missing something here, a valid question was posed to Freddy Bentivegna (Freddy The Beard), to which Freddy responded in kind, while not giving up the answer? I know the answer and I learned it from Freddy. I later validated the answer with Truman...
