Just for fun, If the Legends of Yesterday like Willie Mosconi & Irving Crane were alive today and in their pool playing prime, how do you think they would fare against today's top players? Can you imagine Willie Mosconi vs Efren Reyes both in their prime! how much would you pay to see that...

Your Cue There are only 4 important parts of a Cue to consider in buying a cue. 1. The Tip!!, 2. The Weight, 3. the Shaft (how straight & smooth it is), & 4. The Joint (Steel, Wood to Wood, or Phenolic) It is important to find the right combination of these 4 elements that you are comfortable...

Even the Professional Sports Commentators can become irritating to listen to. When the Networks that are broadcasting or Streaming an Event think that Every Second of Air Time has to be filled with some form of commentary. Some times it is just nice to mute the BS and watch the program. Not a...

Thank You CJ As the originator of this thread, I want to Thank CJ Wiley for his participation and the great stories he related about events at CJ's Billiards Palace and his road stories. Especially liked the stories from his younger days on the road. I'm a little disappointed that at times the...

CJ, Thank You CJ Thank You for the Replies to all of the questions!! If you can think of any more stories about Events or the Colorful Characters of CJ's Billiards, please post them!! Everyone, let's keep this thread about the Events, Colorful Characters, or your Personal Stories that took...

Carson's - Robbed? Didn't I hear about the Carson's Club being robbed at some time?

LOL @ Commercials & Funny Story I remember those commercials, LOL I wasn't there the night the Gun Shot hit "Fatty" but I was there the next night and heard about it, I had forgotten about that event. That happened not too long after the event I was talking about, now that you have jogged my...

CJ Your stories about your life on the road as a Player are great and tell a lot about what that kind of life is like, (a cautionary tale indeed)! But I was recently reminded that Dillard Allen had passed away some years ago, and that got me to thinking about all the people I had known over the...

I remember Dillard, I heard he passed away several years ago now. He was a very good player, but I don't remember ever seeing him play Snooker, of course it might have happened when I wasn't there. I've only been to the Billiards Den a couple of times 5 or 6 years ago when I was in the area on...

Anyone else here watch the UK Championships and the Lisbon Open? Congratulations to Ronnie O'Sullivan & Stephen Maguire respectively on their Wins! Especially to Stephen Maguire for winning Lisbon! Shame there couldn't be 2 winners, Matthew Selt played a hell of a Final. (After some research...

Agreed and understand, have heard the reasons about Snooker here in the States for years. As to length & difficulty of the game, well we play One Pocket don't we, that requires a 3 month lease on the table with a security deposit! LOL It's just that I was watching the Video of the 6 Reds tourny...

6 Reds game on YouTube - http://youtu.be/Chgios9P6Cc I've been watching a Snooker Event on YouTube called "6 Red" where they play the frame with just 6 Reds (hence the name). It's a lot faster game than the traditional snooker with the 15 Reds, looks like fun!! I could totally see this game...

Thought some of you might like this, it's funny to watch these old programs. I found this earlier today on YouTube, the video is rough and poor quality but still enjoyable. Check out the Buckets on that pool table they're playing on!!!!!! I would never miss with pockets that size!!!!! If you...

Best Snooker Cues Funny you should ask, I've just recently done some research into snooker cues myself. I have a friend in Latvia that is a snooker coach and player. In a recent exchange with him I had asked about snooker cues and he gave me some tips as to what and whom to research. I don't...

IMac User The main thing your friend needs to do is to make sure that he has the latest up to date version of "Flash" installed on his IMac and make sure his browser and other programs are also up to date. Adobe Flash is a free download so just update it. Also their is a great Snooker Channel...

I'm LOL about his post of "Condition - Excellent" (Not) The Case looks promising though!

I have thought about making the switch to acrylics in the past. They used to be cheaper than oil colors, but now a good quality acrylic paint is just as expensive if not more than an oil color. I do have a few tubes of acrylic paint but not enough variations of colors to think about doing a...

Weekly Update Update on the Billiard Painting I have gotten a couple of layers of color down on the 9 Ball, which still needs at least 1 more layer plus final highlights & Shadows, also I've gotten the Cue Tip Finished & a couple of layers of color on the Ferrule, and the 1st layer of color on...

Working on it again - Finally Some of you may remember this from earlier this year. I had originally planned to have it finished by late Feb. or early March & ready for sale by June, well, "best laid plans" etc... A whole long list of things came up that I had to deal with, along with finding a...
