What’s the Saudi code of conduct? Bahahahahahah! Behead journalist. Fly planes into buildings. Wipe your arse with your right hand.

I mentto say ‘anticipated’. Thanks for the grammar lesson.

There’s no end to moronic post on this site. I’ve said that repeatedly. It’s an indication of the immaturity level that did not exist among ‘baby boomers’. It’s the ‘x,y,z and millennials’ posting nonsense. Conversations you never hear among players in pool rooms. My least favorite is ‘How are...

How many times do we have to see quotes from The Hustler?

There are shots where I use the antipathy deflection path of the cue ball to determine where to strike the object ball keeping in mind the cue ball will come off at 90° to the intended path of the object ball.

Contact points aren’t what they’re made out to be. You’re talking about a finite point that is on the surface of a round object to be struck by the finite surface of another round object that is not within your visual field . Think about it. I think more of the cue ball covering a portion of the...

Triangle. Helmstetter went to work for Callaway Golf. When Callaway started they used wooden shafts and Helmstetter was recruited for his expertise with cue sticks.

When I started playing in 1960 the only way we knew to jump was to ‘scoop’. There were signs on the walls of pool rooms ‘No Massé or Jump Shots’. Both techniques could possibly damage the cloth. I Don’t understand the reasoning for calling a scoop shot or miscue a foul. But then again I don’t...

You win the Isaac Newton award. 🏆 🍎

More ‘skid marks’ in your underwear.

God forbid you would have to think playing one pocket rather than just count to 9 or 10 or identify a solid from a stripe.

I’ve been doing something similar. I am aiming by not trying to pinpoint a finite contact point on the object ball. in other words there is a margin of error where you can make the ball (2.25” ball in a 4.25“ to 4.5“ pocket). I’m contacting the object ball with what appears and feels like ’more‘...

I’m waiting for his wife to say something during those adds for his cases. Anything.

I’m going to be in Corpus Christi for a week. Can someone recommend a pool room with 9’ tables? Thanks.

Thompson aka Pasadena Squirl. Saw him several times at LeCue in Houston. Played his brother at a beer joint called Randy’s Wreck on HWY 225.

Thanks for your input and post I find you to be open and honest in your comments. I started when there were no systems discussed and if they existed, no one shared them. Unless you had a mentor you were on your own. I don’t think a lot of younger players realise that. You were on your own with...

Let’s add horseshoes, tennis, Monopoly , washers, Párchese, Shoots and Ladders, marbles and Russian Roulette. No you need to start with Russian Roulette and your inane post would disappear.

Think ‘pecker’ if that helps your limited imagination.

Hold the butt like you would hold a bird. Sam Snead also said the same thing when gripping a golf club.

I use a house cue. Stay away from gimmicks and bogus claims.
