I introduced my new wife to one of my favorite old taverns on the Texas Gulf coast many years ago. We arrived at lunch at stayed several hours, having a great time with the bar tenders and locals. As it approached dinner time my wife insisted that we go back to our rental and change, since...

Spent three days with a pro instructor last spring. He pointed out many fundamental flaws in my stance, bridge, stroke and follow through. My game immediately deteriorated as I tried to assimilate all of those changes. But I knew I'd never improve to 'the next level' unless I did the hard work...

Makes me smile. I was a little surprised to discover that I could immediately name everyone in this photo with no hesitation. This group probably provided more laughs to me in that Era than anyone with the possible exception of Monty Python.

Brunswick table?

I've twice sold houses and left a table behind. Both times in a negotiated deal with buyer. Both times ended up with upgraded table and avoided the hassle of moving and set-up.

Right. All for show. Not about going around the corner as fast as you possibly can. Agreed?

Those drift racers should read Niki Lauda's book on race driving. 'If you're spinning your tires or sliding sideways you are not going as fast as your car is capable of going '. Of course those guys are really doing it for show as opposed to going as fast as possible, right?

I was faced with a similar choice several months ago. Based mainly on postings and comments on this site I decided to spend the extra $ and endure the wait for my first JB case. It's been a few months but Karen sent photos of the case today. It looks beautiful and I can't wait to get it...

J J Watt is no longer a Texan!

Yes, good eye. And I can't say enough good things about Jerry. Class act through and through. I'm honored to have met him.

Try Louie Mueller's in Taylor, TX; Blacks or Kreuz's Market in Lockhart. I predict you'll not return to Rudy's. I once spent a week touring central Texas just to try and evaluate all the 'famous' BBQ houses. I keep going back to Mueller's and Blacks years later.

I traveled to Phoenix last week to spend a couple of days with Jerry Briesath for some one-on-one training, and just want to say what an incredibly positive experience it was for me and my wife. I had spoken to Jerry off and on for several months and decided to pull the plug on this training. My...

I considered going cheap just to have something soon but knew that would be a mistake. I was tempted by some of the Instroke Buffalo series but don't care for all the embellishments. In the end I chose one of the classic JB Mason leather but requested it without the tooling. I like the clean...

After mulling my options for several weeks, I pulled the trigger on a custom JB case today. It will cost a bit more than other options and require 10 weeks of waiting, but I'm glad I finally did it.

And I'm pretty sure I've seen you 'play one on TV'

I think you are embarking on a frustrating exercise which will end with less than satisfactory results. The tone of your post suggests that you are determined to move forward with your plan, so I won't waste much time trying to discourage you, but I'd like to do so all the same. You have an...

Monk? He lives where?

I read the post here about Mark Wilson and was fascinated. I live in northern Nevada so traveling to Illinois would be a stretch but possible. Can anyone recommend a similar training program or instructor in the western US? I can travel but prefer to not travel to California. Thanks

Thanks for the tips. I found Dr Dave and have seen several of his videos. I'll check the others you suggest.
