Anyone who say Jeanette Lee has never been to Ktowns in Los Angeles or New York City

Of the big cuemakers,,,Bill Stroud BY FAR. His cues simply do not stand up to the passage of time. I had two. They fell apart and warped. There is also a reason why his cues have not maintained their value compared to the Ginas, Tads, Herceks, Schicks or why it's easy find an available Joss West...

No I was questioning those who thought Efren was a big deal assuming he was the sh^t simply because he's Efren saying balkline is his best game. 14.1 is my best game and I ran a cr@ppy 92. Just because it's my best game doesn't mean I'm "great". And Efren doesn't need you to defend him so I...

You know what,,, you shouldn't be drawing attention to yourself with these threads. It's like playing with a paisley Thai cue.

Yeah. I don't profess to know the nuances between the different formats. I can't play the game, too dumb to play the game, too untalented to play any billiard game. But Efren's 198 was in 18.1 Anyway, the point was give these great billiard players their due instead of dismissing them as if...

I remember all that talk way back when, and the high profile proponent of that was Varner. Everyone was saying he does it so why not us. Even back then I thought it was an irrational theory since the break employs a whole different set of mechanics than just shooting. The break is a specialty...

A heavy cue delivers a heavy cue ball. IMO if you have problems controlling your cue ball when you try to break with speed, a heavy cue is a good option. A better option is to use your standard break cue and replace the joint with with a big(big as in actually larger) ole nasty brass joint. It...

Reyes personal high run in 18.1 balkline...198 Very good, but like I said "Caudron says call me when he runs 300". And that's because game is 300, which Caudron has done often. I do not know where 198 places in the hierarchy of balkline play. Maybe 200 is rare and maybe it isn't to a great...

And I guess you're missing the part where I'm sarcastically implying so what:). I'm not quite sure if you guys know what top notch balkline runs are:), so please tell me if you do. In fact a few years ago some guy posted something similar along the lines of Efren running 30's and 40's. If...

Frederic Caudron says "Call me when Efren runs a 300"

johnnyt,,,you have a simplistic view of 14.1 Also, you do realize we are talking about two different things don't you. :) I am talking about the need to have more specific cb location on a shot (ie the specific skillset needed for cb control), and you are talking about shooting at any ball (ie...

Are you sure about Reyes and Ceulemans in balkline? I think it's Blomdahl vs Ceulemans. Reyes knows the 3C moves but balkline is a different game.

How does it feel, playing by yourself. :):):)

The tolerance for being "out of position" is very small in 14.1 OTOH in rotation, you mainly have to be on the right side. I saw a guy run ten racks and it was sloppy, the only saving grace being he could pocket and he was always on the right side of the ball. It didn't matter that he was far...

Well this is an unnecessary thread for a smug post and I don't even know what you're talking about.

I don't like this reasoning at all, but I agree with the conclusion. You're overthinking because you should always consider the games at their purest level. Equipment shouldn't be a factor...period. Ie, is the skillset to play 1P better than the skillset needed to play 14.1,,,,on a level playing...

What theoretical truth are you talking about???? There is one basic element in ALL pocket games and that's to pocket the ball. This is not so in 1P. And gamblers like 1P because it is the easiest game to hide their speed. 1P is about moves

Pool was never a "gentleman's game". Most of the annoying environment issues surround the gentrification of pool and the effort to bring in the weekend clients and pool leagues who spend money. Without them your room is dead and closed.

Dumb and redundant

Meucci must be a great cue if Hall is representing them.:rolleyes:
