    Bergman-Lil John Match

    Agreed. Funny story: Like 30 years ago Buddy Hall came to St Louis. He attempted to match up with the local shortstops and no one would give him any action because he was offering games like 10-7. Finally someone told him, "Buddy, Nick Varner was just through here and was giving us 11-6...

    Banking with the beard?

    I think I was a the DCC and Freddy was hocking his "Encyclopedia of Pool Hustlers" at Gil's booth. I went by and didn't say a word because Freddy and I had recently been at odds online. Later I went o Gil and asked, "Can you get Freddy to sign a copy without telling him who to inscribe it to?"...

    GENDER IN POOL ... Do Men Play Better Than Women? ... Recent Legal Trial

    I seem recall from reading something years ago that the most significant difference between the genders was their perception and processing of spacial relationships and that boys, playing more ball sports and stuff like that, develop better skills at tasks like that. IOWs, men see the...

    Bergman-Lil John Match

    Maybe it's more an issue of matching up. You can get in the grease all you want but you have to know your limitations. And IMO, at a certain point, the gap between some players is bigger than they estimate. IOWs, the gap at the higher levels of play is exponential and not what you encounter...

    Jayson Shaw’s 832 World Record is Official

    He may have. But... he has never released -- in spite of a serious financial proffer -- an unedited recording of his run for a thorough examination. Yes, the BCA reviewed it but it has never been given the same level of scrutiny that Shaw's runs have. Not only would I be looking for fouls...

    Pinky on or off during stroke.

    I think... one of the biggest mistakes instructors -- and self-imagined instructors -- make is believing that one size fits all. So much depends on your individual body, what feels comfortable, how much time you have to play, and what your aspirations are that spouting absolutes is...

    Paging Dr. Dave! How did this scratch?

    Over spin at medium speed will do it, especially on newer cloth. The actual angle was probably a little less. Lou Figueroa bigger pockets will help but not essential

    Bergman/Little John start time

    Since we're sharing stories... I was practicing on the pit table at The Break across The River from STL and Justin walked in and asked if I wanted to play some cheap 1pocket. This would have been like 15 years ago so he was in his early 20's. I said sure and we did $20 a game. Right about...

    yeah, but… he’s still clueless. And I disagree, we are not all equals here. The clueless stand apart, lol. Lou Figueroa

    What is the One Major Player Flaw You See Most Often At The Pool Hall

    *This* is what I see. There was a pretty good sized event at my PR this past weekend and I was kinda shocked to see how high up in the air so many players had their grip. I mean it wasn't just a wee bit of elevation, the slope was way up there. Anywhos, I was surprised. I've always known it...

    Johnny Archer

    As regular readers here know, like forever, I haven’t played competitive 9ball or even 8ball in years, don’t even own a jump cue. Now, should the young lady want to try some 1pocket I guess I would be open to that discussion. Lou Figueroa

    Never been an Archer fan, actually kinda the opposite. Just stating my opinion. Lou Figueroa
