    RIP Cyclop?????

    I had a set of Cyclops and they played great. However, though my memory is a bit foggy on this, as the company ramped up production they moved to a bigger facility and some of their machinery got out of calibration and some sets were released into the wild that were out of tolerance. So, some...

    Measle ball is a training ball

    The measles is not a training ball though I suppose you can use it to observe how many rpms your stroke is generating (I’m a bit surprised no one has mentioned Elephant Balls which were true training balls). As previously mentioned the measles (red) does seem to have a softer composition and...

    Rip Danny Diliberto

    No doubt, Danny was a bona fide pool legend. A quick story from the 2013 Tunica event: Danny and Al (the gentleman always sitting front row on the old Accu-Stats tapes in his white Panama with his wife Marsha) were sitting across from me at the bar and we were all enjoying some nice meals...

    RIP Justin Ramos aka 'justnum'......................

    It made me incredibly sad to read this. Not because I had a particular affinity for justnum but because he was a long time “resident” whose handle and style of posting here was instantly recognizable, along with his frequently oft-kilter takes on all things pool. He made this forum a better...

    Can't play no mo blues.

    Turned 71 and am playing as good if not better than I ever have. Some of that is paying more attention to what I’m doing, how I’m doing it, and just plain old grizzled experience gained to stay a footstep ahead of the youngsters. I try and avoid death march sessions/tournaments but am still...

    hmmmm, no. Though we have not played recently we have played many times in the past and I would place him in the 650 range, probably higher by now. Lou Figueroa

    (Un)Popular Opinion on Fargo Rate

    OK, I see your perspective more clearly now: You are unhappy with your home country; You casually lump us all together and say we find no fault with ourselves; We are "self-delusional;" The American dream -- whatever that is -- is dying. (Who knew) We are blind to that; The rich are to...

    (Un)Popular Opinion on Fargo Rate

    I am not your buddy. I was just curious about your background because you make a constant point of denigrating "Americans" in a manner I find odd for a citizen of this country. I am not the first here to point this out. Lou Figueroa knock yourself out

    Why is it always about the "Americans" with you? Aren't you originally from the US now living overseas? Lou Figueroa

    Good post. I believe you are correct in your assessment of FR — you can look at the numbers and know if you are likely to prevail or are a dead duck. But, to be honest, FR just validates something many knew: the cream always rises to the top and most guys are just playing for S&Gs, though...

    DerbyCity going to Nashville...???

    Greg often told me that what he liked about the casino was it was open 24/7, there were rooms, offered food (sort of), and had security. You hold it somewhere else and you lose some of those elements. Lou Figueroa
