Contradiction? Not at all. Your assertion that the profit side for Brunswick is Home Sales, which relates to zero interest for competitive pool is exactly correct. I merely cited a couple of the many divisions that make up the Brunswick Family. They have moved on, as you said, from Pool being...

Jimmy "the Kid" Wetch kollegedave, you jogged the old fatmans memory with that trip to Jimmy's. Super Fella and a Heckuva Player. At one time the Twin Cities was like the Mecca of Pool. You had Shooters,C.R. Billiards, University,Al's,Biff's, and one of my favorites, Doc's Bohemian Cue. Jimmy...

Perfect This is the perfect answer to the OP. Welcome aboard Alice! Continued success in your journey with pool,especially your Eight Ball Game.:thumbup:

Brunswick Brunswick Bowling!!!!!! the Pro Bowlers Tour-Millions!!!!! Mercury Marine-the Professional Fishing Tour!!!!! need I go on???

On the Spot! I agree. I have experience in the Club System in Europe back in the 80's and it wasn't Ortmann,Souquet,and Engert who paid to play for their Clubs. They were "supported" by the Club Owner. Novel idea,ya think???

The UPA The authority really doesn't exist. Any group who forms,may pay a sanctioning fee to acquire legitimacy with one of the "sanctioning bodies". It is this dilemma that curtails progress. The UPA is much like the old MPBA,PBA,and any other of the now extinct organizations that have come...

Like JAM, your smiley face emoticon smokes all like buttons!! Thanks.

lol,yeah! I think we are so verbal,that when we watch silent films,our emotions are amplified. It is moreso when the amplification is done by a friend who is woofing your action!!!:thumbup:

Yes! Even an old fart like me understands that facebook and smartphones are an absolute must. Imagine the flash mob tweeting phenomenon to alert pool players to information?

Yes. JAM, I agree with you. One major event with 100% Trade Association Member Participation at just $1,000. and go to mainstream corporations to sell Title Sponsorhips,the prize fund would be well over a Million and you could pay EVERY Player a nice stipend for playing. The Title Sponsor...

Many Reasons jimmyg, you have made a statement of particular interest to me. Most of the members on AZ, do not know me. I am not a former road player,champion,industry professional or owner. I am a pool enthusiast,who fortunately, had the opportunity to be a part of the BCA from 1993-1996. I...

Pro's do miss That's what gives hope to other players Joey. Knowing that Pros miss from time to time,we will get our opportunity at the table. I watched some of the early matches,and do not have an analysis about why they missed or chose what I consider erroneous shots. I should withhold too...

Legal Evidently,it is in South Carolina. :rolleyes:

Good Point softshot,there is wisdom in your words. This one tree bears much fruit. One of the most overlooked is the aspect of Banking in Straight Pool. Because it is employed so seldom,it helps you evaluate the best percentage and types of Banks. This way,when playing Bank Pool,your confidence...

Giving is Better than Receiving! Whatever it takes to ease their pain,my good friend. When they ask for such weight,I recommend they should practice more,so we may play even. This way,they will be pleased that they only lost,...by a small margin.:D Regards to You Also, Lock N Load.

Which Game In ascending order of having learned them from my youth onward. Straight Pool,Rotation 1-15,9-Ball & 8 Ball,Banks(Full Rack),One Pocket, and the rest of those other pool games. Growing up in North Louisiana,you had to contend with a bunch of odd fellows coming through and playing...

Case Collection pocono, you will have to wait your turn in line,lol!!!:D I was at Winners on Friday and got to check out the Elephant Case by Engels!! OMG, that case is so nice,this picture doesn't do justice to the beauty of that grain. I asked him what kind of monster cue is he going to make...

CE Willard Not sure whether CE was related to Jim Willard,the Tool and Die maker who developed the Tip Shaper and Tip Tapper. Might be interesting to find out? Could be an interesting pool provenance. If so,value increases. Oh,and my first thought was Rambow. Great Find and with that luck,I'd...

The '86 Mottey Lawman, I normally don't post my opinions on cues on AZ. I am going to make a rare exception in this case. I happened to be acqauinted with a few cue makers back then, including Gus S.,Richard B.,Bill S.,Dan J. and Paul M.. If someone were going to invest in a players cue,and...

by the way about the OP Pro's(Pool Players in General) change their mind like the wind. What worked fifteen years ago has deserted them, and they are now looking for a new "edge". It's just the way it is. Believe anything,as long as you win!
