I had the good fortune to work alongside Mark on several matches. He's one sharp cookie, and a damn nice guy to boot.

Bob, there is a better way to make that corner pocket shot mentioned above. You aim at the middle of the ball, and use a medium to firm stroke to double kiss the ball with outside English. Right english to make the object ball go left into the pocket and left english at the other corner. Works...

Very simply, inside English makes the object ball hug the rail. That's why you can cut a ball along the rail at more than a 90 degree angle. But you know that, don't you.

Phil Capelle used to pick my brain early on, even before his first book came out. More about writing/publishing tips and only a little about playing tips. He took off from there and wrote a series of great texts on Pool.

Boom!

Correct. What I'm saying is to place an object ball in such a way that it partially blocks the avenue for the cue ball to get through cleanly. If a pool ball is 2 1/4" in diameter, then place it 2 1/8" from the point in the middle of the pocket. I can shoot the cue ball in past the object ball...

They can put a ref's shirt on just about anyone. Any good referee should be well vetted before officiating a tournament, especially a major one.

Interesting point Bob. For me many of the so called secrets in Pool are in the myriad of intricacies and complexities available in the safety and kicking aspects of the game. These come up in all the Rotation games and especially in One Pocket. I've often seen very good players overlook a simple...

Anybody know what kind of money it took to attract all these older legends. AKA prize money

Fleming is trying to create a second DCC type event, but the prize money is anemic by comparison.

I'm always curious about the prize money in each division. Is that a secret?

Higgins didn't take much convincing. He gladly jumped in bed with those guys.

You bought the cover up Bob. I watched the entire video when he was secretly recorded, asking them how he could launder the cash.

And they gave John Higgins a slap on the wrist for willingly participating in a match fixing sheme. The fact that he got caught before being able to follow through on the planned fix is irrelevant. He was all in with both feet!

I got Lassiter's autograph once and he signed Luther Lassiter. I'm not so sure he was fond of the name Wimpy. Rarely did I hear him called that, except behind his back. In the presence of pool players he was always addressed as Luther (by his friends) and Mr. Lassiter by others. He was highly...

I do know it's on the four most popular ebook sites.

Thanks Bob. I saw what I saw, a very competent high level snooker player. That was an exceptional run out!

A bar table is another kettle of fish. I was talking about big table pool. You want the break there?

Probably when Kelly first came out west, but I have no knowledge of it. I saw them together several times in L.A. area poolrooms and they never tried to make a game. They probably had a history I don't know about. I do know Kelly traveled to the Bay area in the late 1960's and maybe they met up...

Six Ball is a joke with BIH! Any top player will run out all day playing that way. It's also a gaff game. Very had to make a ball on the break. So if you give up the break you become a big favorite. Worked for me many times!
