I have friends in the health industry as well as a few in the fire dept and a neighbor who died horribly and whose family who would happily see you put away as delusional. Science and chemistry can not be spun by conspiracy theorists. Sorry all I had to respond. Wrong Forum. My bad--but really.

I was told the same thing early this morning. Family Billiards in Lakewood along with the above mentioned. That is all in about 250 square miles with 8+ million people. Really sad. Great memories of 30+ years of action and a million stories. For half of those years road players galore came...

Totally agree. Then move on to the other highly recommended book.

Seems that every time I think that the Bubinga and Brazillian Rosewood I have from you are enough you post some beautiful woods that start me thinking of just one more. Nice wood combo's and I already how they will hit and play.. Superb. Nice.

Finest display of 8 Ball I ever remember having seen. Maybe Orcullo's win over Ortmann in the IPT qualifier at Hard Times in Bellflower was close but I think Busty's play today was the BEST. A real pleasure to see such perfection.

Now that is a classy cue. Really, really tasteful. Hate to show my ignorance but what is the wood? Cored? I will be looking at that again.

I didn't read all of the posts but I hope somebody asked what in the world happened to "Posting?" I still remember my wonderment walking into Hard Times late one weekend and every light on the tournament side had cash posted on it, Lots of cash. Just wondering. I remember in the late 60's a...

I know the shot you are talking about but in that situation I don't think he takes that shot if the stakes are 5 figures and it is coming out his back pocket. I'm not even sure he was shooting that shot given where he was shooting it from. The back of my brain still says that the frustration of...

Busty need 1 ball for the match Alex needed 2 balls to stay alive. Busty had missed his great chance to close out the match. 2 balls are spotted and Busty shooting, once again needing just 1 ball for the match, he slams into the spotted balls with no apparent rhyme or reason and gave Alex the...

The scratch was bizarre. From what I saw it was not planned and I think Alex's reaction confirms that. But if he is on a lie detector and it substantiates that he played it that way--I "might" change my mind. To me Busty was looking tired at the end of yesterday.

I think that it was the next to the last game when one of the most bizarre things I have seen happen on a pool table occurred. Busty on 7 with a ball in his pocket Alex tries to take him out and mistakenly makes Busty's ball. Busty wins---but no Alex miraculously scratches in the side pocket...

In the first minute or so Stan used a couple of words that comprised the name of Hal Houle's company in the late 80's and early to mid 90's before he moved up to Burlingame in the San Francisco area. The name of Hal's company was "Colliding Spheres."

My very best to you! I really enjoy your participation. You are knowledgeable and certainly know how to stir the pot. lol Put yourself in their hands and do what they say and I look forward to hearing how you enjoyed the sandwich.

JR, you were around and active during the height of pool in Calif. I played in a bar league, Southern Calif Cocktail Lounge League, in the very late 80's and early 90's. Our team captain quit because he was going to Hard Times. I decided to check it out and it was like a Wild West Show. Archie...

Don't care how deep you dig you are not going to find the equals of Paul Newman Jackie Gleason & George C.Scott. They forever "own" those roles.

Wood and construction technique. I currently only own two cues. Both by the same maker. Over the years I have hit with probably15+ cues made by him and they all have the crispness and playability I find desirable. Integrity & craftsmanship along with the best shaft wood around. The names of...

What year was that? There used to be a player that came up to Hard Times from San Diego for some of the larger tournaments. However, he looked somewhat older than this Ignacio but a somewhat very similar stroke.

You start off with wood that stunning and put it in the hands of a craftsman with the talent of Hercek you end up with a piece of art.

Wishing the very best for you. I can't imagine the head trips this is putting you through, My two adult children are under the weather and my youngest grandson is having a terrible time breathing but with no fever they won't test him. Who would have thought that we would ever live in a world...

The two balls behind the head ball go regardless of speed? Corey does come up with breaks that are out of the ordinary. He has quite an understanding of the rack.
