Pro or Pro-AM? I have had both... I believe the pro-am to be the better of the two. The pro am has 22 balance points on the playing surface and one each per leg. When Glen (The Real King Cobra) sets up and balances, there is no better playing table in the world than the pro-am. I also highly...

US Open Question regarding women I believe it depends upon how we choose to define championship status in our sport? Golf and Tennis both have chosen separate events for such recognition of champions, men vs women. Pool though is not a strength game, thus we could adopt whatever, we choose...

One foot "Flat" on floor? She says, NO, you didn't. It says in the rule book, "you have to keep 1 foot FLAT on the floor". The least you can do, if you're gonna quote rules, and suggest someone is violating them, is LEARN them. Then find a new hobby that you can enjoy, preferably by...

Hi Jessie: I know you remember me from back in the days in Bettendorf when you hung out with Jon Kucharo. That would have been in the mid 90's. FYI, I am now retired and live in Phoenix. I have a new Diamond Pro Am with Derby City Classic Blue 860 Simonis Cloth. Having recently been set up...

How I do it: The advise not to cut it is good. The way I ensure not to do so is to lower my cue tip to lay flat on the surface just inches behind the cue ball. After ensuring I am dead nuts on the vertical axis, I raise the cue and after a couple line up swaggers, I pull the trigger...

Wow, that is such a cool story. True or not, until someone can provide another answer, I will stick with it. Thanks, Larry

Anybody out there know where the term "kitchen" originated? As used to say "you must shoot from the kitchen" Cross Side Larry

How much? I tell my wife the same thing and afterward show her the invoice. All was going well until I bought my first Gina Cue.... Suffice to say, I no longer share with her the invoices for my collection. Cross Side Larry

[QUOTE= Look, I hear of people say that Efren Reyes made the best shot ever, but imho, Mosconi did when, needing ONE ball to win a world championship against Andrew Ponzi, being corner hooked, went six rails to kick in the case ball...for the World Championship. I am curious to know how one...

In reading the threads about who was / is the greatest 14:1 player it appears each is rationalizing their pick on the basis of long run, i.e., Willie = 526, Ralph = 309 and John = 400+. Also the difficulty of the tables, i.e, 8ft vs 9ft vs 10ft. IMO all are valid metrics for establishing...

That is good to hear... As I made clear, I am only passing on without embellishment what I have heard from one who is there. Since I am not there, I cannot attest to what is fact and what is hearsay? None the less, I am glad to hear a more positive statement from one like yourself, who is...

I spoke with my friend Jeffery this morning and got the following info: Gambling has been halted and gamblers have been told that if they are caught gambling on matches they will be barred from the premise. One guy was making book on some action matches and was writing the bets in his notebook...

Who will win all around? My money is bet on Darren Appleton. He spent three days at my house working with San Jose Dick on his one pocket game and after watching him play on my Diamond Pro Am, I will tell you for certain, that boy can flat out shoot pool! Cross Side Larry

Rating one pocket players Where does "San Jose Dick" get plugged into your list Billy?

As a long time lover and fairly skilled player in the game of bank pool, I feel compelled to pass on to my fellow AZ Forum friends, my take on Freddy's new DVD's.... It is without a doubt the best instructional video of bank pool on the market today. Truly a first class product in all aspects...

Yes, and I do.

One arm player timeframe I played this guy in 1985. I am sure of the year because I moved the following year. At that time, I would guess his age to be in his early forties.. He was about five feet seven inches tall and very slender build. He had light colored hair and avery aggressive...

Has anybody ever played this guy? (conclusion) Not wanting to belabor the story but keenly interested in discovering whether anyone had ever ran up against this guy with but one arm, I will complete the episode... He ran the table with a most incredible and accurate stroke. All done with a...

Lots of things come to mind when thinking about lessons learned when gambling but none like the time I played a one armed man in eight ball on a bar box in Howell, Michigan. The bar was named, "Duke's", and one could always find a game there. The standard challenge bet was $1.00 and the chalk...

Sniper vs Moori I played Mooris for a long time until someone told me that Efren plays a Sniper. Well, like everyone else who is mesmorized by whatever Efren does, I had a Sniper installed on my Jim Buss cue. Without a doubt, I will never change again. In fact, I played the Sniper for nearly...
