An enlightening look at the modus operandi of the BCA and their first U.S. Open. This article was originally published in 1975 Take a good look, much can be learned from the past. A Thriving 10 Year Old by Matt Racki III But there were some anxious moments before the U.S. Open's 1966...

its a tiny bit scary that you gave it (him) this much thought and this much typing, however, its what ive been thinking all along and its baffling to me that more people have not picked up on English! and his pseudo intellectual mind game. its funny because sometimes you can actually see how...

What we need is a ranking system. Oops did I say that out loud?

This is like an Ed Norton movie, holy shit.

I must agree. Anyone - I repeat - Anyone who can run 400 together has damn near experienced every possible shot and knows exactly how to get back to center table. Run 100 on me and wow that's insane. Run 200 and holy cow what did you eat for breakfast? Run 400 ? Wtf just happened? Dead...

I find the prospect of Katz making cues for Hoppe very intriguing. Did he prefer them over Rambow's? Inquiring minds want to know. :cool:

I've found some references to "M. Katz and Son Billiard Products" as late as 1972 Not sure about the name Morris yet, but Max was pres and August was sec/treas

I dont want to meet any of you nutballs. Well, unless you want shoot some pool. Or eat chicken fried steak. Or drink some really dank beers. Or dig thru boxes of pool history and ramble on about sweet looking antique tables and cues. In that case, maybe.

Katz ad 1943. Have seen this ad in 1953 as well.

I hear ya. And I wouldn't disagree with that line of thought. What I would really like to do is find some info related to Katz output vs Rieper. I get the impression - just an impression- that Rieper might have been putting out way more cues but I'm really not certain. I'm looking forward to...

Interesting that you bring up Katz.... Just yesterday I accidentally came across an ad for Katz cues from 1946... I had not known that they were still in business that recently, but apparently they were...and possibly even later. ( had to amend the data in my pre-20s cue thread) Anyway

IMO, Real playing stats would be about the best way to make any kind of meaningful comparison, but, there lies the primary problem; the mainstream games today are not the same as the mainstream games of any time in pool's history. In fact the (most popular) games have always changed every few...

I was gonna say the same thing lol. I knew what he meant though.
