Pink ball wild Once back when I was young and in condition, playing pink ball wild, I shot 100 pink balls in a row...just to see if I could do it. Very boring... I am sure many could do it, but who would want to ?????

Does anyone out there have results from the "OLD" PBT tour events? My list has gone missing.

aNOTHER FINE PROBLEM I've seen it many times...A legitamite three who cannnot make a ball in the hole from 4 ft, happens to beat a 7 because the 7 scratches a couple of times and everyone complains they shouldn't beat a 7! AND then to make it worse they raise them to a 4 or 5! gREAT SYSTEM!!!

Luck What's wrong with a little Luck? How many 8 balls has anyone seen pocketed on the break? I watched Tom Watson hit a tree and the ball fell on the green? Should he not get the luck? I have seen many lucky shots on a golf course over the years. Should they replay each lucky shot? I have...

Old days Back in Vegas (70's), at the Classic Club, out on West Sahara, there was a phone number taped to the register. If anyone came into the room looking for a game call this number. It was the home phone number of "Monk" , Billy Incardonna, and Mataya! I once backed Jimmy against...

Snooker players Almost without exception every snooker player who I talked into trying my "Yankee" round butt cue...liked it after they gave it a legitamate chance. Not just a few minutes!

Difference I think the "Japanese' is probably what we call 3 cushion and the 4 ball version is the "Korean / French " .

George I have a leather "It's George" (1x2) and two McDermott Super Max's (1x2's)...both are "New".

A Player? I asked Boston Shorty one day "How do you know when you become a player"? He said when you are behind, in a race and your opponent only needs one game, and, the only shot you have is a long distance cut on the 8 with the 9 laying very tough, and , YOU KNOW > YOU HAVE THE BEST OF IT!!!

I have it and it is not much of a movie...but I still have it. If you understand the language it might be better.

Available Twilight Zone > Volume 3, Episode #70, "A Game of Pool" is available online. It also has 3 other episodes on it but that's OK. I think I paid 14.95 @ moviesunlimited.com

14.1 vs snooker I have played 14.1 for most of my 30 years when I practice. I have some very good runs and when I was young and foolish I played some 50 no count. When I began playing much snooker, I tried to play like they did. It was difficult to play "their" patterns of just chipping off...

Fred Whalen I had an old photo of Fred Whalen, wearing a mask, which he signed for me. Fred used to run the World touneys back in the 60's & 70's in LA.

Grady event Glad to see you had a great event. Sorry I couldn't make it. Good photos.

How did "Full Splices" Event with Grady work out? I was planning to attend but couldn't make it.

Corners I have run many tourneys over the years and I instruct my referees to put the 1/2/3/4 on the corners. This usually keeps MOST players from complaining ?!

Knowing They just don't know about it. I play it with many snooker players and they usually like it.

Bellflower Billiards Back in the 70's, Don used to hang around Bellflower Billiards as did almost everyone else. They used to have a "Pay Ball" game on the 10' snooker table up front of the room near the counter. They played for almost any amount from $5 and $10 up to $100 per ball. One...

Phoenix store Shoot the Bull on 15th and Indian School. Good guy who takes care of his customers!
