I had the good fortune to watch Magnolia Red, aka J.R. Richardson, play one-pocket at least once a week for about a year. He was either in his retirement years or close to that age, I think between 60 and 66 based on being a contemporary of UJ Puckett who died in 1992 at 81. But he could still...

D4, one nick in clearcoat on butt, otherwise clean and ready to play or display. Bought new back in the 70s, played one season 8-ball teams, then occasional practice off and on. Early 90s bought other cues and kept the D4 as a closet queen. Contact me for photos.

In the case of bedbugs, what happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas. Sometimes it crawls home :eek:with you.

I watched the show and I thought the pool playing was horrible. Even the thought that one game defines who is the better player makes no sense. if you claim to know how to play, when you break and make a ball in 8-ball on an 8-ft table with buckets you are supposed to get out almost every...

She's ba-a-a-c-k ! The young lady is back from the restroom, and rarin' to play! Apparently she has been wandering the streets looking for some TP all this time. She fell in with some Scientologists, who are well known for keeping people in pseudo-kidnapped states (they are also well-known for...

I can't imagine there is any mystery left to deflection after two or more decades of research. So far you have made some claims without proof, such as the idea that one can change the duration of tip to ball contact significantly, when the average duration of contact is a swift .001 seconds...

In seventh grade in 1964 "swooping" was the secret name for a BJ. It was something about which we knew nothing, but needed to appear to talk a good game. No so different from Deflection. But don't tell anyone because it's a secret.

About 1985 I bought a D4 McDermott from a guy at a pool hall. It was like new, and though it was my player for several years of league play it still looks like new, except for a small ding near the butt. That cue has served me for very many years with just an occasional new tip. I hate the...

Acme? What Acme? When the first comment appeared with "Acme" as a case name, I thought they were kidding - using Acme as a generic, Wiley Coyote-type product,something that you could easily mail-order, but that would cause a big blow-up in actual use. Much to my surprise, several comments...

RIP, and condolences to the family. He was a credit to the sport, and to the industry. I bought one of the earliest Hueblers somewhere about 1973-75 in Fort Worth or Arlington.. He was building cues in the era where cue makers would take photos of their cue line, with numbers on little cards...

I started using a screen name on Ebay years ago; it reflected my involvement in outside interests in that era. Everyone did that, and so did I. Then about 2010 I got involved in another sport and adopted a screen name apropos to that sport. If I had ever won anything bigger than a $100 bar...

Sullivan loves to smack anyone and everyone, on occasion. That is just the perverse part of his personality. I would not take his comments on American pool serious - in the series he gets beat handily by some people who are past their prime. He also plays and acts the gentleman during the four...

Bob Meucci has his mechanical device for testing deflection. Whether good or bad, he has been using it for years, so there is at least internal consistency to his method. Does Predator or any other carbon shaft maker have such a device to compare shafts? The expensive, to me anyway, carbon...

This is the most entertaining thread since the funny pic thread. Please, please never close it. You got a small business man who once was reported to the BBB after he annoyed, inconvenienced, and worried a customer, all because her expensive item was in his possession and she could not locate...

Mr. Summers absorbed all the slings and arrows without complaint, even apologized. In the custom build business, isn't accepting a return after modifying correctly to customer specs rather unusual? I say kudos to Mr. Summers for even offering a refund, not matter if it was a cash flow problem...

I've had expensive items shipped "signature required", which never arrived. Still the CC company refused to credit my account. They are in it for the money, not out trying to be a good neighbor, and they always have the last word. I quit using paypall because of a similar arrogant non-refund.

I am confused. Earlier didn't you write that $300 was way too expensive, and now call the $524 Fin Lux "affordable"? I personally think the stylish Fin Lux at $524 a little pricey, though nice. I use two 2-tube reflectors without diffusors set crosswise and each 1/3 from end of table. They...
