sharking I haven't really played in 20 + years but I do believe that if something like this disturbs your mind set so much that you can't play up to your own level then you should have not played at all. It is a game to be played and enjoyed. Pool isn't like golf where everyone already knows...

One of the problems is the same as always. The players are not caring about the future of the sport only about themselves right now. Me Me ME Now if Taylor Road doesn't put up anymore challenge matches if they have this next year then what will the players say. Why Not. Maybe the challenge...

ivory use I have been using Ivory since the 70's in one form or another. The ivory we use is legal and so use it. Ther at one time was enough Ivory in the basement of the Mozembiue capitol to sell and feed everyone in Africa. The government there did not seem to care why should I. There are so...

respect I agree with you all the way. I use to gamble and enjoyed it but now when I want to start back to playing after being off 20 years I just want ot play. I will play the same gambling or not. I don't have to put food on the table or have sepnding money by gambling. I just like to play and...

cuttin up You are right I have seen it in the past and it made me sick. Someone trust you and bets his money on you and you cut him up. It happen to me at Cassidy's in Houston a couple of times in the early 80's and I quit betting on others and would not stake anyone for any reason after that...

The first real pool tourny I ever saw was the one in Colmbia Mo That a friend Ken Bernard took me to see. I was in the air force as was ken and we played a lot on base and then in KC at Don Brinks place Raytouwn Recreation. Louie would come in there and beat everybody at everthing except Don in...

louie and girlfriend When Louie got broke he would put her on the line. I don't know how much to rent her but I always thought he was serious. The most amazing thing to me was watching him run all those racks against the ghost. He came to Shreveport several years later to play Buddy at Guys and...

pool wars I just read Pool Wars and being older than alot of you I was at several of these events he talks about. This is the best pool book I have read to date and I have read them all. Jay and Hillbilly has done a great job on the commentation at Galveston. These should be on espn instead of...

I was in Columbia Mo. in 1974 or 5 and Louie was in a straight pool tourny. Steve cook won that tourny anyway. Louie was playing the ghost for 20 a rack against NY Blackie and that is the cue he was using. After he ran 11 racks then he ran16 racks and later I hit some balls with that cue and ask...

What is parloid B-72 and where can you get it. I would like to try it on some wood for knife handles also. Thanks for the info

I think that little lady can sell some cues for you. She looks enthusiastic and probably thinks they are the best you can buy. Very cute

I know some of the stream has been bad but Idid get to watch the Hillbilly and then the Sylver events and they were ok not the best but ok. I am going to be there on wed or thurs, and I hope this event will grow and become what it should be one of the best there is. Patience will advance the...

I remember when Louie Roberts had a hypnotist with him to help him stay concentrated. He almost always played good so there might be a lot of things to help you improve. The best is to improve on your concetration.

I would love to come by and hit a few racks with you that is a nice room. If we all had a room like that you might not ever get to the pool room. Although I haven't played in 20 years I am going to start back when my new cue comes in.

copies I like this thread, I am in the knifemaking business. I make everything I sell and it sometimes pisses me off to see friends have their designs stole and made overseas, but what you get when you buy them is a piece of crap. I know some companies have things made overseas that is very...
