I traveled with Robert and always had adventures. Robert seemed like a magnet for drama. He could usually talk up a game wherever we went. He'd be your best friend, or get spitting mad and woof till you had to play. :wink: He woofed at Tommy Spencer in Chicago to play some on the bar rag. Tommy...

Never ran into him, but heard stories from Robert LeBlanc. I was told he was at the top level for many years though nobody had even heard of him. He probably put a cramp in a bunch of road players' budgets. :) Best, Mike

I think the word "secrets", is pretty misleading. "Tips", might be a better choice of words for each individual player. No one secret is going to change your game overnight or propel you into the pro ranks. I've gotten plenty of tips from top players over the years. Some weren't right for me...

Ron should answer that one...:grin:...and yes Best, Mike

My game has changed quite a bit since I moved to the inside of the cue ball. I try not to over spin shots with outside and use a lot less of it on most shots. I learned to play with outside and only used inside as running english, sparingly. I use inside and outside to compensate for the CIT...

You mean, "susto"? Or, for the purists, "susto?" :smile: Best, Mike

He's right, Ron. You made some good points and you guys got a little discussion going. I was reading it and agreeing with both of your opinions to a degree, then KPOW! :confused: Best, Mike

It's sad we have to get distracted from the nice run Landon had by an unthinking poster. I've met Landon and he's a perfect example of what we need to represent us in this sport. He shouldn't have to be posting and defending himself. :frown: Best, Mike

How were the tips? I've dealt with C4C and didn't have a problem. I was pleased with the whole deal. Best, Mike

So, is he on 1? And what happens when he gets to 3? Best, Mike

Nonsense!! :cool:

I appreciate the replies! I'll definitely visit Mr. Cues and JA's establishment. They sound like the best of the lot. I heard there were a few places in or near Kennesaw, like Pinky's and the Kennesaw Billiard Club. Any good? I'm surprised Ellijay has anything going on. It seems like a pretty...

I've always been available to discuss it if you'd like. Let's just keep it at a discussion level and not trade IQ barbs, is all I've ever asked. I don't need to be a wordsmith to get my point across. I've just been trying to relay my personal observations about what I've been doing and how...

Way to go! It's great to hear about the younger guys getting serious about their games. You did a good job, Dad! Congrats, Kyle! :thumbup: Best, Mike

If you check my posting history, I've been discussing it for years, at length since it's beginning on these forums. If you haven't done your homework, it's obvious we're not discussing the information from the same baseline. I did the work, how does that make me the "dodger"? :D In my case (I'm...

It's obviously not what CJ says that's the problem. It's that he's saying anything at all. These threads keep getting bumped to tear CJ a new one and be the guy that finally got his goat and chased him off. I can say thank you to all the disgruntled minions (all 12 of you) for keeping these...

It's a mental obsession. You have it because you've never gotten past that part and employed the physical part of the experiment. Your armchair QB approach has limited your ideas of what works and why/how it works. I use TOI if I feel it's the right shot for the position. On faster tables, I...

I'm visiting friends in Ellijay this summer and was wondering if there are any places to play within an hour or so of there? I've visited many times over the last twenty years, but this time I may stay long enough to shoot a few racks. Any pool rooms or bars to recommend? Best, Mike

Good post. My thoughts are, hitting dead center on the cue ball happens, but not as often as we'd like. I move a hair to the inside of the cue ball and increase the predictability of my results. I don't use it as much on faster cloth. I like it on older cloth or when the humidity picks up and...

Have a great Bday, Joey and Ray! :smile: Best, Mike
