Ma.... thx for the Bean memories, I flew up to his daughters place in Seattle, a looker, not anything like Mr or Ms Bean. First saw em with the boys at Janscos. Roadies..... like Boston Shorty/Red Raider/Ronnie Allen/ all loved him being around, he was never broke. :) He bet and could play...

Wow.... Peace ma man. Rack em up St. Peter. bm

Final set race to 3 lag for the break. Boy is this Lag important. :)

Sudden death.... 2 outta 3. 15 minute break before starting.

FB mentioned to me recently they were discontinuing Forum Groups. I did notice it at first, but then seemed to stop? Humm

Get a good coach.

Those did Not look like 4' pockets by any means.... more like + 1/16'' or +1/8''

I liked the two step/beep shot clock. I'm guessing at ten sec first beep, at 5 it's countdown beeps.

Sudden death, race to 3.... With a 15 minute break for All.

Jay, when I first saw em at Janscos his presence struck me. My dad and my dads great group of friends were very similar. Irving was not like the norm in the pool room. He looked like he worked in an office. Clean cut, well dressed and mannered. He personified the American Man. Yep.... I too...

Being from his stompin' ground, he's much more effective the other way. bm

One of the greatest players who mastered the punch stroke. Loved the sounds of the balls hitting the pocket middle with no forward rotation yet (slap sound). The sound of Sigel in his prime pocketing balls was completely different than his peers. He played back then ''exactly the way they...

Roll out 9 ball days. :)

If you don't clean/vac/wipe you table off regularly, balls will need cleaning more often.

Agreed, the costs for room, board, & travel are almost triple compared to the 70's. Rooms especially.

Thx Bart. I was talking about 9 being too short not ten ball.

During Kellys 3 pack ring game, he did a nice smooth move with a grin/smile to the player group. Went 5 rails for shape got almost perfect, then jokingly touched cloth saying, it was supposed to be here :). The boys/workin' it.

Me too, but races to 9 and 8 are too short when your flying 1/2 around to planet. ESPECIALLY With winner breaks that's too short a race. Watching the HOF players come from the losers side US Open Chesapeake VA and win it, never woulda happened much races to 9 or 8. I won't drive 600 miles...

The pockets appeared to be 4 1/8''.... or 4 1/16th. That's good, players can let their stroke out ''swing it'' a little more, aggressive rotation play.
