    What person has had the most positive influence on pool?

    I have to agree and mainly because we may never escape the broken thumbs scene and image. Another obvious to me is Allewn Hopkins. He heas done a bang up job for years and stayed out of the negative zone which is tough to do in this world

    Proposed TAR - TOI VS NO AIMING SYSTEM

    Players in those days were far mre versatile and complete. The bank shot was often and many matches won and lost due to made or missed bank shot. Carom shots were a a big part of the game. What is missing the most to me is the stroke. one does not need the stroke of back then. Often player A...

    Who Is/Was The Best With Own $$?

    Jack Cooney and Weldon Rogers come to mind quickly. also Denny Searcy. Many would bet their own when they had it. In our youounfer years games and bets were made by the game and it was easier to get them stuck and parlay our money. They have wised up a lot since then. lol
