Hard for me to say since the Break Speed app wasn't invented yet. Purely subjective, but it seems like Shane drives the 1 ball a lil further/3 rails around, in the 9 ball break. Eric

Jean definitely had that big break. She hit the pop and squat break kinda like Shane. Maybe not the same velocity but not off by much. I've played her a couple times and watched her game when HOF Billiards had their weekly tourney (20 yrs ago?). Jean and Gerda would play and her brother would...

Is that you, Earl?? Eric >:smile:

It might help if you narrow down to where in So Jersey? I would say, if you can find a "good" pool player that is willing to help with your game, that might be your best bet. One idea is if you can get on a team with the league's best player on it, maybe that person would become a...

So, the TPA numbers posted in the article are highly relevant to today's top player scores? Interesting, because the performance numbers can give a more objective comparison between eras. Eric

On playing bad: "You need a break. Take two weeks off...then quit Pool" On losing: "Somedays youre the bug and somedays you are the windshield" On winning: "Even a blind squirrel can find a nut" On shooting: "He hit that so bad it was almost good" Eric >couldn't make a ball into the ocean

I've had a Capone 4 pointer for the last 20 years (actually 19). I play it all the time, year after year and it is still solid; no issues at all with craftsmanship. Plays good too. Eric

I use a longer bridge but don't use the entire length in my stroke. Why? Well, when you get to a certain age, your vision (close up) goes south. With a longer bridge, it's easier to see the cuetip/CB/OB as I sight the shot. Eric

So, where the food concession area was, is where the bar is, now? Eric

While comparing players from different eras can be a bit subjective, I thought it was interesting comparing the Accu Stats numbers from 1986 vs today. While it's not a huge gap, there is a notable difference in overall scores. If I had to guess, I would say today's top players are winning...

The Intl Open starts 1 week after the WPC. October is no longer peak season in Atl City. Other than that, I'm with ya. Eric

Thank you both, for weighing in. Great insight. I've always taken advice from ppl I respect and are just a little ahead of you, on the trail. Apologies to the forum, for being off topic. Eric

Yes. Actually, 8 points (to include the very thin cut shot). Eric

Hal had a list of forum CTE naysayers that he would kindly suggest that others ignore. Your's was one of the names that would get mentioned (sorry). Eric

I found Hal on RSB. At first, I was a skeptic too. Eventually, I asked some Houlegans on CCB (Fred?) and decided to give him a call. I wound up having a bunch of calls with him and had several "call me when you are at a Pool table" lessons. I'm glad I did. On a side note (Chris Tate), I'd...

SPetty! Sorry about your troubles but nice to hear from ya. It's been a long time, I miss ya! Eric

It's powered by wind. Instead of dual Amals, it has a single stack of playing cards in the spokes. Don't you know anything? Eric

Nick Papageorgiou from Yuma! Eric

No shortage, fo sho... Eric >didnt know Surber went by Shorty, too

I guess it isn't a stretch that there are two short, white pool players named Shorty from VA, lol Eric >stretch...
