That isn't a Titlist. Probably a Rich....could be made by.others.

Good man and a tremendous talent. Came to my room and played a tournament. Lost to a AA player giving a game on the wire....he wore his emotions on his sleeve because he demanded that he gave his best. People got on him for this. Mika showed a lot of class when he went public about his being...

Shaw losing his shit and throwing pool balls in the straight pool match versus Earl a few years back.

Jealous

People willingly step up to gamble on pool also. Because as you improve, you need to test yourself. Most better players won't play you for fun. Honestly you are paying to get someone's best game. Trying to run out the last 3 racks to win $1,000 when my opponent is on the hill creates a lot...

Mark Twain popularized the phrase "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics," commenting on how statistics can be used to mislead or to support almost any viewpoint, thereby being more "pliable" than facts. There are guys who fold under the pressure....even very strong...

So long as they joined the family after the age of consent, no.

If you don't bet high, it's like kissing your sister. You don't get anywhere...or at least you shouldn't.

Yup all day long

I'm sure the older we get...the more it happens.

For sure Although jumping 3 shots in a row versus old timer Angry Larry was a career highlight for me. Dude can unglued.

Anybody with a lathe could make it using available materials at the time. The pin looks to be a screw someone turned to a point. Nothing here to say it was made by any recognized cue maker. Looks like the first cue I ever made.

I bought a beautiful old custom with ivory dot "snowmen". It was obviously made by a top level builder and was from the 70s/80s. I thought it was a Bill McDaniel cue. Turned out to be his mentor Tim Scruggs. Like all my great finds...because I'm a player and not a collector...I eventually sold...
