Putting aside the fact that antedotal “evidence” is not worth much, his improvement might have had nothing to do with the shaft material. Lou Figueroa just sayin’

I think, at lower levels of play (which would be just about everyone not playing in big events), carbon v wood just doesn't matter. At the level of play of the huge honking majority of amateur players shaft material matters not. They have so many mechanical problems that the fancy case, carbon...

Well, first off, you are wrong. Second, how in the world did you think you were going to come in here and teach us something that has been researched and demonstrated with diagrams and videos here -- ad nauseam -- for years and years?! The leading guys on the science and physics of...

So what's the answer? I'm not adverse to buying a tap but I see there are at least a couple of different kinds (trapezoidal and regular). I had Shelby Williams make me some JP and the one for the pin is tight as... well, you know. He suggested taking it to a mechanic and having a tap run...

In "McGoorty" there is this tale about Hoppe, his book, and diamond systems: "In Hoppe's book on how to play billiards is a long section on the diamond system, charts showing how to count the spots on the rails and figure out where to aim by using arithmetic. Now that is a joke, because he was...

It was at The Billiard Playground in Kalamazoo in the 90's. I think the last edition was 2000 and was held at a local hotel. BTW, if you can find some of those matches there is some *great* commentary from Freddy the Beard and Billy and Grady in the booth. I mean really good, funny stuff...

Well actually, Mark bought the rights to the "US Open One Pocket" name from Matt, so at least in that respect it is the legit US One Pocket Open. IMO, the problem is two fold: first is piss poor planning which results in this event not being advertised far enough in advance for players (and...

Hats off to Bob for getting in there and mixing it up with champions. Lou Figueroa

Trying to picture the case that’ll handle multiple cues and a chair… Lou Figueroa

It's kinda like walking a straight line. If you have to walk across the room, no problemo. If you have to walk across a two foot wide beam, 20' up, problemo. It's anxiety and being more careful which changes your focus and cadence. Lou Figueroa

I think there was probably a time when... if I took a big enough hit of some really good weed, I would have passed the doobie and said, "Dude. That is absolutely brilliant." Lou Figueroa

They are nice tips. Have used the G2M for many years. Lou Figueroa

Totally unaware this was going off. Looking about I see the 1pocket starts the 11th. I probably would have gone to donate just for lack of something better to do this time of year. But not much publicity... Lou Figueroa

oh my gosh, really? This is how it works: miss straight in, stroke not straight. Stroke straight, ball go straight. Stroke crooked, ball go crooked, Grasshopper. Lou Figueroa wax on wax off

Just a matter of time before you have to wear one to play in a tournament, lol. Lou Figueroa

Oh come on, with all due respect, you cannot be serious. You give the opportunity for experience to players you expect to eventually rise to an elite level of play, comparable to the best in the world. Lou Figueroa

oh, now you’ve gone and done it, lol. Lou Figueroa
