Start a team! May as well just be the LO if you have to do everything. May let you run without a LO, just send the money!

Three cushion Every poolplayer should put 3c on their bucket list! Just to say you have done it. Problem would be some folks may be hundreds of miles from a room that has one. You can't scratch, there are no fouls and no penalties that I am aware of. It's your turn. Shoot! And you get to...

Photo cues Jacoby cues does it. Put my brothers grand baby pic on it. Great cue anyway. Try and use really good pics if possible.

Dz DZ Bob Dzuricky made my first true custom. Stated build time would be 26-27 weeks. Build time was like 26. 5 weeks. Stopped counting e- mails at about sixty. Total communication and updates. A pro photographer, I was sent pics of every piece of build. My wrap less is on his completed page...

Geezers noggin! Ask around and you may find an older player who knows how to play. It all seems to make sense when you just start playing instead of reading about all the scenarios which can come up. Pay the guys table time for helping. I have noticed people are starting to play two shot shoot...

Canadian Eight Guess you could call it Canadian Eight!

Smart Playing great players cheap is great if you learn things. Had a buddy who was lucky enough to play Chip C. cheap one hole. His game improved by leaps and bounds. Look at it as cheap lessons.

Smoking Smoking with good venting machines I think. Not bad during normal days but with full house not so good. Specials M- F. Lunch and one hour time $8 . Lunch and pool till five is $11. That includes play on the nine ft. Diamonds, which there are three. That's about $1 hr. for table time...

Traps So true. Especially true if the man following you is trying to hold the leader of the game who is going for three hole or out hole. You must help him and even give him a good shot for a roust. Sometimes you just can't advance you own agenda. Some people will constantly guilt you to do...

Golf. Start from breaking end of table. First hole is on your right. Clockwise to last side pocket. Draw pills for shooting order. Make every hole in order and don't leave a shot for the guy that follows you. Don't have to hit a rail but must hit your ball or penalty. Your ball is respotted...

Death lag. The death lag up too the three hole or even the out hole is huge. Buried in the hole makes it hard for your man to leave you. The three hole is bigger than the out hole because no one ever gets to the out without making the three. Obviously! Things really start moving for that first...

Spot on wall The spot on the wall thing works but is tough to put into words. Maybe somebody else can elaborate. Not much help I realize but it works well.

Weeks? Sometimes it takes more than a few weeks to master the game. Maybe a month or so for some people. LOL Seriously, try to work on a repeatable stroke. Short shots, same speed, straight in. Make that duck ten in a row and then increase distance. Repeat, rinse and dry on low heat. Watch...

Recreation room! Mid sixties our next door neighbors, Fred and Hazel Douglas had a room in OKC. My dad would take me there and Fred let us play free!! He open up a snooker room in downtown Edmond giving us two snooker rooms on the same street. He jumped on that Brunswick bandwagon and opened...

Uh oh Would his initials be K T? If so, your in trouble. Sorry. If you get it you will like it! Great guy, great cue, takes foreeeever!

Nada bumper. Cues with bumpers is why pool is in trouble today! Look what happened at the Mosconi thing. If you want to be a serious player, shuck the bumper and anything else on your cue with a value less than $5. It's time to pull together and save this great game. Bumperless cues will...

Breaking! Breaking is the most violent shot with your cue. Why take chances. I only break hard in nine ball anyway, and use a breaker. Otherwise I use my player. As far as old timers and the good old days, I doubt there were dedicated break cues back then. I think breakers and jump cues came...

Practice Anything is better than nothing. Even ten min sessions. Line up short straight ins. Shoot with a stop shot. Same distance draw shot and then follow. Lengthen distance same straight in drill. Follow shots should follow into pocket!!! All shots should come straight back to you, except...

Super Senior winner! Speaking of seniors, Don Owens of OB cues, won the Super Seniors at BCA this year. Played my old pal Don for a few hours shortly after that win. Played even for a while then he edged ahead. Nice feather in his hat for sure. Good guy and great company.

Time out. Simple, you have the right to not have a coach. Most intelligent teams will ask the player, do you want to talk about it? This puts the ball in your hands. Find that one guy you actually like to coach you and let people know he's your coach. A good coach will SUGGEST alternatives and...
