    Poolplayer's Mothers - Thanks, Mom.

    I get to visit my family only once or twice a year at this point. My mother has always supported me with any interest I have had. Now the only thing she tells me w/ regards to pool is "You are winning more then you're losing, right?" Mom, Thanks for all your support and I'll see you soon...

    US open qualification tourneys

    I played in one last year at J.O.B's in Nashville. I was expecting a tough field but only 12 guys showed up. They are more like $500 guaranteed money tournaments from my experience. There should be some info coming soon. They are tough if you have to travel because if you want to take...

    gilbertcues.com..that the real site?

    Aaaawww!! K Town D called me a friend. I have been waiting for some time but I would be willing to wait another 6 mos. for the cues I'm having made. I love Mr. Gilbert's work and I'm just very excited. The only issue I've had was the expectation dates. I would not have sold my jump /...

    Personal Accountability And Your Game

    I'll be the first to admit that I struggle with this issue. Ex: During a match (that I feel I am supposed to win) Sometimes you get bad rolls or your opponent gets good rolls. It is easy to commiserate w/ freinds after a loss and say "That guy can't play, What a lucky ba*tard." "Did you...

    How Come (10ball speed)?

    I have been trying this system as well. The break seems to be the biggest difference maker IMO. If I am breaking well, I am 50-55. If I am not I can be 20-30. I don't think any rating system is going to be perfect, but until I find something else I will continue with this. It does seem to...

    How would you adjust this spot?

    He gets the break, you get 5, 7, & last three and play 3 to 1 on the money. That way he practices his break and you really have a hard time getting hurt in the game. my $.02

    What is your pool nickname and why?

    The Glove - People at the pool room made fun of me for weeks when I started wearing it Nanchez - A friend of mine is a local player named Alberto Juan and they thought it was funny to make my name sound Mexican Supernanchez - From time to time I wear a Superman T-shirt & see above...

    Thanks to our mentors!

    I believe most of us have had a "Mentor", someone who had taken an interest in our game. For me, it was a gentleman named Phil Smith in Chattanooga. Phil is not one for small talk and typically "Doesn't like anyone." One day Phil approached me, He had never spoken to me before and asked if...

    10 ball ghost - speed rating system

    Wow, Ktown D - I had no idea you were so cerebral. I thought you were just a big goofy ba*tard. ...............Kidding, Don't kill me. Ktown D is alittle taller then me but I think I have a few lbs on him. Seriously, I agree. You can trap yourself mentally. If you believe you are a C...

    10 ball ghost - speed rating system

    I have scored as high as 53 and as low as 19. This tells me I am either very inconsistant or I've just diognosed myself as having multiple personalities.

    10 ball ghost - speed rating system

    Probably just complaining here - This system does not account for safety play at all. I do not know anyone that would believe me if I told them I was a D+ player. Am I in Denial or are there other attributes that effect this system? K-Town or Mike Templeton - Be brutally honest - Do you...

    10 ball ghost - speed rating system

    At one point someone had posted a speed rating system. This was to help people gauge where they fall in the grand scheme of things. 10 racks of 10 ball ghost and keep up with how many balls you make. If possible, could someone post this again. I cannot remember the specifics on the ratings...
