Same I feel the same as you and I am in the same age bracket , but movies change with the times and as much as we ( Hustler fans ) hate to hear this the Hustler would most likely flopped in the mid 80's due to the change in the audience attention span from that of 1961. Books can and do go...

Fwiw I feel I owe this to Bill Grassley . I am not trying to get into a situation where it seems all parties involved honestly feel they are right. In a previous thread I wrote my honest opinion of Don Sherman I feel I owe it to Bill to do the same. I have known and done busn. with Bill...

Agree I agree especially since the top pros can make a break shot from almost anything left on the table. 98% of us need some sort of a standard break shot , so more planning is needed.

Cue That cue caught my eye also , love that old school look.

Don Don I have known you for 20+ years and you may be the most honest man I have ever met and that includes outside of the Pool world. You need not have to worry about looking over your shoulder . Frank O.

4x8 8ft. Diamond. One of the top players in the Carolina's had a beautiful GC I and sold it for a Diamond saying everywhere he played they had Diamonds.

Fwiw For what it's worth I was in your situation in the late 90's. I had my mind set on getting a restored Brunswick Anniversary but kept hearing the Diamond buzz. A group of us were making our annual pilgrimage to the US Open so I put my decision off until I got back home. In the 90's the...

Have I have a set , not sure which one , not currently for sale though.

Play I play both straight and 9 ball with some 8 ball. In my opinion 9 ball dictates your next shot and forces you to be able to move the cue ball around the table. This helps my position play in straight pool. I had the opportunity to see Mosconi play an exhibition when I was 14 yrs. old I...

Thanks Thanks for the link, it made me think how I almost missed out on getting a autographed copy of Freddy's book. I saved the PMs between us and I am glad I have his book and signature. It is a shame Freddy died at age 73 because he loved writing and talking about Pool.

Seems He seems to be the 'Magician ' of this era of Pool. Melling knows all the angles.

Bar none Chris Melling a Billard savant.

Thank you Thank you sir I would have never been able to do this. That is the exact photo .

Cue I heard he played with a Balabuska his entire career. I have a picture hanging on my wall of him with Danny Dileberto and Fred Astaire taken in 1968 in L.A. Another story is he got into the Video busn. during it's peak years and made a fortune.

Sorry I never met Dave but when Pool story's come up in Northeast Ohio you can bet Faves name will be in there. One of Ohio's top players in the 80's. My condolences to his family.

And And larger selection of pin sizes.

Line up That is a beautiful line up of cues AE does great work.

Collector Every collectors dream cue congratulations on a real piece of Pool history. Anyone know when or why G.B. started using the Brown bumpers ?

Design Excellent smooth and elegant .

For For me it starts with the sound when the cue hits the cue ball. Some cues I have owned stand out in my memory. I remember playing with a brand new Lambros cue and had several people remark how solid the hit sounded on that cue. It was when Mike first came out with the Ultra joint as an...
