While others cannot think at all, lol. Lou Figueroa

Don't believe any instructor that tells you there's only one way to make an omelet. Lou Figueroa

From what I've heard you would be lucky to get it in three months, lol. Lou Figueroa

What’s up with Deno nowadays? He used to be a frequent poster on the groups but then disappeared… Lou Figueroa

What will be scary is when they start shooting shots in the style of the player and not just smiling at the camera. Lou Figueroa

Can't honestly say. I saw Mosconi in the late 60's early 70's when I was a teenager and had just gotten bit by the pool bug. I wasn't qualified back then to analyze pattern play. I just knew he made it look ridiculously easy and I would have to say that to this day I've never seen another...

Tough to say, having been so many years. But, if memory serves, as fast as JS shot, Mosconi shot faster. Mostly, I believe, because his CB traveled so little. It was just an inch here and then a few inches over there. His CB was always *just so* for another short, virtually straight in shot...

I the table I saw him play on several times was the front one pocket table, set up tighter than the rest. Ran 100 on it like it was nothing. Lou Figueroa

Having seen Mosconi shoot a number of times, when he was well past his prime, my opinion is that: had he been offered time on the same table as JS's run, and while in his prime, it would have gone something like this: He would have walked in, taken his jacket and tie off, shot a couple of warm...

Who said 10,00 balls guarantees to expunge all flaws or grant you championship status? For most guys 10,000 balls gets you to the highly proficient level and perhaps, for some savants, it does get you to an elite level. Regardless, the "focused" part is the part during which a player does...

No, that is your assumption. As previously stated, the dosage is to shoot a million balls *with focus.* IOWs, you're not doing the same over and over without a critical eye, you are observing and noting what you're doing and making adjustments accordingly. It sounds like you're advocating the...

You gotta do the road work, you gotta do the reps, you gotta put in the time. I believe the recommended dosage is 10,000 hours of focused time to generally get *real* good at something like sports or doing something like playing a musical instrument. And, whether it was focused or not, I'd...

I think... different cues will change the way you play, mostly because of weight distribution and balance and how that affects how you get into shooting position. I really don't think it's much else as far as tip, ferule, wood, taper, joint. The cue will make you make different motions and...

Bought and sold plenty of stuff on AZ without a single problem. Do your due diligence, deal with known guys, take reasonable precautions and you'll be fine. No different than anywhere else on the interweb. Lou Figueroa

I commend the effort however -- and just my personal opinion -- but if you're going to double the entry for the 619s and below to the 620-739s, you should also be doubling the entry for the the 740s and up. Lou Figueroa

I guess it depends on whether you're speaking of a bad roll for the shooter or their opponent. Anywhos, not too long ago I'm playing in a 1pocket tournament in Chicago. I've left they guy in the jaws of his pocket and he thinks he sees something in the stack. After due diligence and...

Off the top o' my head, I own: a Fellini, Engles, several Whitten, Clements, Melton, and Hawk. I'd say that as far as protection goes the Whittens are a stand out with the Fellini and Engles coming in next. The rest are envelope style cases so I'm not sure how secure the tongue would stay if...

Just wondering if there are any thoughts out there on this. Lately, I've had a regular 1pocket match on Sundays so the day before I run my set of balls through the Diamond polisher with a coating of Aramith Ball Polisher. All is good and the next few mornings I give them a short run through...

Ha! Lou Figueroa

You know, I almost wrote that as “with aplum,” as kinda of a RSB Smorgism but thought: no, these many years on no one will get it. Lou Figueroa I stand corrected
