Not our fault! I don't think average Joe pool player is at fault. He plays league, tourneys, tries to go to Vegas. Buys equipment and goes to pool halls. It's our passion and a hobby. I have a table and still go to three different pool halls. Eating and drinking each time. I spend thousands...

Money. They close because the owners have made so much money for so many years that they can't sleep at night. It's their way of passing the good fortune onto someone else? LOL! Just kidding. It's all about money. If they kept raising table time regularly table time would be $15 an hour. No...

Video. Welcome to Az. Not too shabby. I think you have too long a bridge. Might try shortening that up. Just move bridge hand closer to cue ball. On the five ball you really popped your wrist away from your body. Anyone humble enough to ask for others opinions will do fine in this game. Always...

Civility! Maybe next time just say not really my game but I'll play some cheap $5 games if you like. Take his $20 and he will quit after four games and back you go to practicing. Pays your table time. Saying someones game is a punk ass game is calling them a punk! Good rule is don't call...

One pocket! Absolutely! I love one pocket but had to back off for just that reason. I mentioned this to a great player the other day. He told me if you play a really good one pocket player this problem of not making your ducks will disappear completely! You will never ever miss a clear open...

Banging balls. You are probably letting your stroke out when slamming balls. When you slow roll balls it's much like putting in golf. Totally different stroke. Try shooting spot shots on a snooker table with good speed. Ten shots. Now slow roll ten shots. I would guess best results with speed...

Thinking. Good stuff Okie. Resetting hopefully resets your mind also. I came from bar room pool where the distractions were rampant. Drunks, idiots, yelling and chaos in general. Playing under adverse conditions can be quite good practice. Sort of a been there done that type of attitude. Now...

Ralph Cortez. Ralph Cortez comes to my mind. I think he was known as Large Ralph or something like that. Pretty sporty player and a nice guy. Met his son who was about 20 years old who also plays. Imagine starting out with a mentor like that and daddy to boot!

Cousins Hey, I had most of it right except the game count! LOL! Kendal and I are both playing last week of April at AAA Billiards. Pretty big ($100 entry) invitational Okla. locals thing. Chip and Joey and Walter Glass, and other big hitters. 16 invites and 16 normal people like Kendal and...

Go Don go! Some of those older guys can play a little! I'll bet a dollar he wasn't using a Predator shaft! I remember when Don lived here in Gods country (Okla) he played Kendal Faulk at Cousins. Both were probably sevens in the old Busch Pool League. Eight ball. They shot like 13 games in 3...

That's a lot of stumps" I got to grind a lot of stumps to play Joey Gray. This warm weather got people working in their yards and I had three calls today. Got all three jobs! I must be too cheap! What's 10:6 mean? A verse from the bible? Someone owes you money? POST! Will try to catch you at...

Customers? Customer? And I thought we were friends! You are right. I have been in the black all my life playing pool. Cheap games in bars and all the beer games all add up. Got my first ar-15 this week. Stag Model two. Got a Tucker purple heart full splice coming hopefully in a few weeks...

Sheet metal shop Just go to a sheet metal shop. Probably better quality than an amateur and no shipping. They may have something laying around just good enough.

Waitress If she WAS a cheerleader when she was younger and has not gone thru the CHANGE it might work.

Burnish Get a pack of paper matches. Tear off a piece about one inch square. Wet the side of the tip with saliva from a high school cheerleader. Use the side which has ink on it and hold it between thumb and index finger tightly and start turning. The ink and the heat will burnish it quickly...

Hit the ball! Simple. You must hit the four. Saw this on a video once. Tough shot done by a pro. Jump shot into the cluster. Anything you do is going to be a foul anyway.

Tall Tall people are the first to know when it starts raining!

Victor Don't know Victors last name but am sure we are talking about the one I know. He gets to all the tourneys and always buys great players in the calcuttas. Yes, he knows everybody. Never thought of him as a great player but he plays okay. He has a very interesting life story. Even though...

Herman The German! Nothing about your uncle, but I see Herman at JJ almost every time I go there. I got your friend request but not real sure how to accept you or whatever. Enlighten me on the friend request thing

Runs The third ball is the money ball. You must fall on the out ball, second ball, to get out. The idea should be consecutive order not just any three in a row. Always be thinking of which SIDE of your next ball you need to be on. Most people run out of their shape instead of falling short...
