    Was Elvis known to be a decent pool/billiards player?

    When I was there in the late 80's that tear was there. I remember not being too impressed with the table. I guess they wanted to keep it the way it was when he was alive.

    Age and Focus.

    I always take my wife with me every where I go. I'd rather do that then kiss her good bye!

    Age and Focus.

    It's not only eye sight, focus, or concentration that drops off with age, it's also the sex drive. The other day I was greeted at the door by my wife in a sexy neglige and a length of rope in her hand. She said I could tie her up and do any thing I wanted to do. So I tied her up and grabbed...

    CB Action

    This pretty much sums it up. There is no magic involved, just knowledge, which I lack, and proper execution. I want to thank everyone for their contributions. Gives me a better understanding of what Efrem is doing. He sure is exciting to watch and I continue to marvel at the action he is...

    CB Action

    That's a good question. Nobody ever told me how. I bring my back hand in towards my body without moving my front hand bridge. Then I come through straight, but I would say my cue is at an angle in doing this. Is this right?

    CB Action

    Thanks for the reply Bob. I cannot get the action when experimenting unless I use BHE. I know stroke and a loose grip has a lot to do with it. Do you use BHE or do you parallel over? Whatever he is doing, it sure looks effortless. Note: I was in Santa Clara a couple of years ago when my...

    CB Action

    I'm always amazed, when watching Efren, how much spin or action he gets on the CB. He seems to hit the CB real easy or softly and when the CB hits a rail it really takes off. Does anyone know what he does to accomplish this? Is he using BHE or swiping at the CB?

    Hurricane snooker/pool eye glasses

    I don't have an answer for your question I am looking for glasses also. It seems you have to go to Canada or the UK to order. Does anyone know if there is anything available in the USA? It sure would be nice if you go go to a local eyeglass place, tell them what you are looking for and have...

    Felt Bed & Rails

    WTF, if you want to be different, why not a different color for each rail and a two toned cloth for the bed.

    Am I now just an old guy?

    That's a good one! I'll be 73 before the week is out. Best one I have ever seen is with a tape measure. Man's life expectancy is about 75-76 yrs. Pull out a tape measure to that number and say when I was born this is what I had. Then start reeling it in until you hit your age and say this...

    "Old Timers" mad Respect, tell us more!!

    A couple of years ago I went to the fights in Portland, ME. I went, knowing that Roberto Duran was going to be there. I wound up getting a picture taken with him, he was my favorite fighter when he was in his prime. Anyway, I'm sitting at ringside at an outside row chair when I notice someone...

    I miss the FS old forum

    As we have found out, "change" is not always a good thing. Then, if you long for things the way they use to be, you are labelled as someone mired in a rut.

    The Snookers Hall of Fame Joss Tour Event is Won BY

    Way to go Mike! I bailed at 1:15 when Mike was down 5-2. Hate to say it but I thought it was over for him and I had to get my beauty sleep. They both got a little "testy" in the beginning of the 2nd set. Supposedly it was over Mike saying "good shot". If anyone was there, maybe you could...

    Texas Express

    I googled Texas Express rules. The one does have to be hit first and 4 balls need to hit a rail. If not a legal break then the incoming player racks and breaks again. So, it looks like they did everything right.

    Texas Express

    I was a bystander to a game of 9 ball last night using Texas Express rules. When the person broke, he failed to hit the one ball. The 9 ball went into the side pocket. The person breaking said he didn't hit the one ball and it was a foul. Then there was some conversation on what to do. It...
