If and when I come across Al I will hit you back.

I only recently found/purchased Rags to Rifleman. I am about half-way through it and don't recall any mention of the man you are asking about. It is the best biographical pool book I have read yet. It wasn't too difficult to track down but it took time to find one in the price range I was...

That's a very cool and generous offer. I have been more obsessed latley then ever before with old road stories and the personalities attached to them. I've been reading every biography and non-fiction book on pool I can get my hands on latley. Currently reading From Rags to Rifleman, Great...

Asking price? :confused:

Average height for a GC I believe is around 31". Sorry to hear you left Chicago. I left once for the warm weather of Az. but missed Chicago too much and had to move back. Give my best to Mellencamp.

Welcome to the forum! I grew up playing on the GCll's @ Chris's. I found a great deal on a GC ll on Chicago's Craigs list. If you have the space like you said I would only be looking at 9' tables. You're budget will work for a used Brunswick Gold Crown 1 or 2. Keep in mind you need to allow...

I grew up blocks from there and now only 1.5 miles west. This is Great to know! Never knew this place existed. Thanks for the post. :thumbup:

I believe that a cuemaker can make, market and sell his cues in anyway he chooses :eek:. It is up to the individual if he or she wants to purchase. The company will succeed or fail based primarily on these decisions. If you purchase a Lucasi or a McDermott cue do you know who the cuemaker is...

Why don't you just get a cover for your table so you can get any color cloth you want?

I agree. I got the Tourney set for Christmas and love them. I don't know if it's in my head but the sound at contact is a crisper sound than what I am used to hearing with other Aramith balls, maybe because they are new and clean? In any case, even if they don't minimize burn marks, have an...

The 24k delta 13 rack is the only way to go! I am still saving for one. I am only $725 short. I think in the end it will be money well spent :thumbup:

Bob put it extremely well. Other posters were also right on the money. 1) Your sales guy is trying to make a sale. 2) Centennials and super pros are the same composite. 3) The only balls that Aramith claim to be made of a tighter composite resin and are supposed to reduce burn marks and increase...

Spark break cue by J&J? I know J&J makes a good jump/break for the money but I am looking for a dedicated break cue. Any feedback on this cue would be appreciated as well as any suggestions for a break cue in the $100 range. Thanks in advance for all replies. Here is the link to the Spark...

This is a feeler thread to see how many members out there would be interested in hanging pool related art in there pool rooms. I have a friend that is an outstanding artist who is going to paint a pool related scenario for me to hang by my table. How many members out there would be interested...

I don't think it is a joke. I've read some of his other posts and he definitely needs help. He needs to learn how and when to use commas as well.

Nice summary. I always enjoy your posts Jay, and I know I am always going to learn something from them. Keep the information coming.

Scruggs all the way.

I first started playing at a friends house freshman year of high school. My friend was good because he grew up with a table in his house and his dad was a good player who took the time to teach him. I learned some from watching my friend when we played but it was his dad who took the time to...

Santa was exceptionally good to me! I was given Rags to Rifleman and a new set of Aramith Tournament balls! I did the actual leg work of finding a good deal on the book and the balls were purchased from Mike at Cheapcues.com, one of our own. I see a lot of reading and pool playing in my...

I agree! People are failing. I had a fascination with pool since the first time I saw a pool table ( 7-8 yo?). But I never would have become as obsessed about pool as I had so early on if it wasn't for someone of an older generation taking the time to teach me some things. I had a high school...
