    How to clean a mushroom?

    I've never liked cutting a layered tip horizontally, it grabs sometimes. I know it's work, but the tips important.

    How to clean a mushroom?

    Went back to ''doing em by hand''. Sold the lathe yrs ago. 35 yrs by hand.... Anywho don't have to drive anywhere. Tables in my back yard. Doesn't take long on the counter with a good light, and 2 Brand new new razor blades. They cut the layered tips like a butter knife, you can feel each...

    Cool Pool Lingo

    9 Ball.... My opponent rolls out, I give em the shot back. He shoots a slow roller about 6' to a ball on the short rail near the pocket. He gets the Dreaded ''dbl kiss'' SELLOUT. If my opponent and I were on good terms.... I'd tell em the definition of a Dlb-Smoocher. 1. The first kiss is for...

    Commentators talking about anything but the match in front of them

    If you've got an ''in'' with those producing pool events, often those are your color commentators. Very few, if any are skilled in this area, and in the real sports world true announcers most often are educated and schooled in this area before they get on the microphone. Your local news is a...

    10 Ball Punguan Sihombing

    Watchin' this young man play, he's got all the right stuff. I like the way he walks from shot to shot. Not seen em before, hope he plays at the US Open 9 Ball.

    Does the degree of difficulty really change ?

    When your this close ''up''. It took me yrs to figure this out, it's a great question. I never scratch in either side. Further away, completely different shot. bm

    I'm just trying to find the player list/winners of that event. Weenie Beanie and his wife attended. 124 degrees there in the daytime. Jeff Carter Had to get a room.

    BCA pool league adjusting Fargo rating

    I think Fargo should be less flexible on who/when/where they get their player info for Stats. A couple guys in Pueblo CO told me how they easily lowered it, just by sending in the lemonaded scores.

    Filler Vs. Gorst

    Talked to Big Truck today.... he should do a shoot, remove the Varner Wedge/install the Grady rule. Ray said, it's our time/money so we'll have control over game rules/time, if not no Shoot. Makes too much sense, who the hell wants to watch ball bunting. Where.... All the balls up at the head...

    Filler Vs. Gorst

    What's interesting is that Varner played one pocket, I'm very sure Yrs before Efren did.

Saw em Many times, and in May this yr Westgate. He lived a...

    Filler Vs. Gorst

    I also remember Varner going to Phillippines and playing Efren on his home court in his prime, I think it was over a 3 day period, or? And Nicky beat em. What I'd like to see now that the chats going, Varner and Efren play a one pocket match 2025, who yah like there?

    All Time Junior Player Rankings

    Important fact about McMinns wins. The first two yrs in a row, he played at Magoos. John Lewis never liked Jr. players having a room advantage, but we were unable to get another room that second yr, so again Shane had home court twice. John Knew..... for Jr. players it was to McMinns...
