Exactly! You can't hit the center of the cue ball. It's way too deep in the middle, more than an inch or so. I just hit out on the edge and have had excellent results. Your results may vary. The game is the teacher!

Flowers. Floral designs are traditional and pretty. Which is harder to draw? Rectangle, triangle, diamond, lightning bolt or flower. Sort of a demonstration of skill. Why do cue makers do veneered points? Not functionality for sure. Shows their skill and are pretty. Sharp and even shows more...

Tre ball. My idea is break hard, squatting the cue ball with a stop shot. Straight down middle of table or cue is flying. Balls rebound back into cue ball and hopefully go sideways. I made two ones in a row one time!! Everybody quit! Balls always racked in line. Four or better to win. One tie...

Hitch. You could be right about that. I wasn't around either much as I was always doing that work thing. Hitch just seemed not as approachable, but I only knew him in his later years. Driller was at the tourney but didn't play. Eddie Carver frequents JJs almost daily.

Herman Herman Croix is an older gentleman, not sure how old, but getting around well. Still hits balls every day and seems to be at JJs daily. I had lunch with him and his old pal Buddy Hall at Tunica. Not by design as they just needed a place to sit. LOL. He didn't play with Mickey Mantle...

Voice of J.J. Thanks Ken, couldn't stay all day. Left when you beat muffler. Really liked the play of Mark H. For those that don't know Ken streams many events at JJs and helps run tourneys. I officially annoint him ( The Voice of Jamaica Joes ). He is nice to the old timers like me. LOL...

More pleasantness! Thanks Buddy. PM sent I hope. LOL Couldn't figure out how to look and see if it got sent. FYI I give a poolplayer discount of $5 and another $5 discount for owning up to bad hits!! The bad hit discount also includes hi level competition matches! So how much discount do you get?

Positivity Yes on the positive. I've only been hanging on here a few years and probably been in a few pissing contests, but no more. AZ got me on to my first true custom, a DZ and about a year ago a Tucker! New Tucker! How lucky is that? AZ has altered my stroke which I never would have...

My small stump grinding business took me to three pool players homes today. second time I have done three poolplayers in a row! Networking I guess. One was cuemaker Jim Ingram from OKC. After finishing his stump he asked if I would like to see his shop. I somehow found time to take a short tour...

Tucker! Rarer than hens teeth. Talk about bang for your buck! And the greatest thing of all is I have one!! Purple heart full splice hoppe bumper less. I don't need to understand the science of building a great cue, that's Murrys job. Playability right out of the box. No transition period to...

Cue Depending on where you live of course, try and support a local cue maker or at least consider his cues. Many pool halls can order production cues and you help them keep the doors open. Best option is go to BCA Vegas event and test drive lots of cues! For a custom I would point you to Bob...

Double Dipper! Stealing a mans tools is low. I also used to take my first hi- dollar cue to the bathroom. McDermott d-15 with two extra notched diamonds $65 plus the $275 initial cost was big money for me back then! LOL. Somebody needs to figure out some type of LOJACK for cues. Watched Chip...

No foul. Not a foul. You win. Good shooting. The rules your opponent had were in his head. Because they reside in in head, they are hard to access for anyone but him.

Ext. Kickin Chicken just put one up. Check it out. $70 I think.

Tapping on the window! Ladies never entered the snooker hall. Tapped on the glass and hubby would step outside and take his tongue lashing. Spittoons on each side of each table. No pool tables. Snooker only. I never played on a pool table until I was of age to enter a bar.

Geezerville! Walk softly in Geezerville! You can be banished quickly. I stopped going to my Senior Center because they only play one game. Scotch eight ball with one and fifteen going in opposite side pockets. No ball to a rail, pushing of course. Craziest rule was shooting your one or fifteen...

BB cues! Most will agree in no specific order a Hercek, Gus Zamboti, or Gina will serve all your needs!

Cover all the bases. I assume this will be a large room. Diamond bb for league and tourneys, maybe 12 or 16. Three 9 ft. diamonds for one hole and action. A few GC 9s for those folks. Throw in some Valleys for the bangers and kids. One 3 cushion table. Two 10 ft. Snooker tables. And the biggest...

Polock pool! Also called backwards pool. Learn caroms but also learn how to purposely scratch. Learn how to scratch should learn how not to! Nice long projected game, lots of play for your quarters. Cue spots up when scratched. Secret is to park cue in a corner and make multiple balls softly...

Shakinthetreeboss! One of my favorite movies. Cool Hand Luke! Robbing parking meters was his crime. Don't think he ever got his mind right. Pretty nice car wash scene too!
