Nice Cue I was just mentoning Mike Derouen in another thread a minute ago. This is a good looking cue, and you can bet it is a player! GLWS!! cajunfats

Hmmm Looks like I've got to explain my Cajun sense of humor to our new North Louisiana friend here,lol. Tongue in cheek, plant firmly,laugh,exhale. That's better. It was intended to show that Louisiana has some fine cue making artisans. My acknowledgemet was to show that the Tradition will...

Bill Schick? Mike Johnson(Jensen)? Gary Medlin, in Lake Charles,Louisiana. cajunfats

Lol!!! "The Game is the Teacher" from Bartram!!! Sweet!! Thank Goodeness it is only 2 minutes! I was about to have a Japanese Anime epileptic seizure!!!:grin:

Oldie But Goodie I was walking one evening in Pforzheim, Germany with my first ex-wife, and we happened on a man with a beautiful black Lambo. He opened it up to let me look inside, and let me get in the drivers seat. OMG!!! I wanted to beg him to take me out on the autobahn!!!! No Luck.:(...

In Demand, Few Made In 1988 I was talking to Richard Black, and asked him,"Who do you think is the one cuemaker,yourself excluded, that is the pre-eminent cuemaker today?" Without a moment of hesitation, he said,"Bill Schick." As our conversation ensued, he said that the fact that Schick...

Mainland We're holding out for the Chiang Kai Shek Trophy on that one! j/k!! Had to have a laugh at the expense of my Bonus Ball Team-The Formosan Termites. cajunfats

Modeled after The format was actually modeled a little bit like the Ryder Cup Squads in Golf. Whether or not there is a desire to alter that format, and for what benefit, is yet to be seen. I already enjoy seeing the Phillipine and Asian Players come to the US and play in the major...

Ideas are everywhere, Ideas that will work are scarce. As Tramp and others have noted, the economy plays a large role in the ups and downs of the pool business. It has been in this cycle since the late 50's. I hope that my reply did not come across flippantly. I merely answered your question...

Global Pool League I will offer up the same statement I posted over two years ago when I first heard of Bonus Ball. "It is a gimmick. It will not work." Over 20 years ago people were working on getting Pool into the Olympics. There is your World Pool League with the WPA/WCBS and IOC as the...

Both Great

Sage Advice,lol. I used to do that Scott! I would Imagine Ray Martin,Robert Byrne,George Fels, and Steve Mizerak were all answering my questions. Then when I realized I had a mental problem, I decided it was best to video tape myself talking to myself, and my game soared,...out the window and...

Knowledge and Experience Skill to Teach Scott, I agree. This is going to be an entertaining match. That's all it, or any other match which is observed by stream,video,or in person, is. Speculating on ramifications of the result are silly. It is unlikely that Gene Albrecht's students know much...

Barriers to Youth BD, I can appreciate the consternation at not being able to figure out why there so many barriers to youth players. Most adult leagues are in places that are 21 and older. Many youth gaming parlors are saturated with high tech games that attract the kids much easier. As I...

Good Post Trey! Trey, this is a great post. You are exactly the demographic that was being sought back Twenty Years Ago! Yes!! Before you were born, there were people in the industry deperately trying to develop some sort of outlet for young people. The difficulty was and is, that the majority...

I'm a long term Member I have been a long term member of the Two and Out Club!! Yes, we can do the math! Tournament with 128 players and 100 of them average joes trying to have some fun. After a while the decision to spend 300 dollars at a weekend for a chance at nothing wears thin. I can do...

Thank You, Scott. You are correct about that Scott. I explained it to someone earlier today, that Men Pro's especially, have this ingrained need or lust to have the "edge" in every sort of negotiation they are engaged in. The use of the "Matching Up" mentality in the art of negotiations.This...

Pro Pool and the Big Changes Mark is very generous to offer time to talk with some of the posters in this thread. He is always extremely busy. I applaud him for being available and willing to explain the complexities of the delicate existence of Pro Pool. It is at times a mind numbing amount of...

Old School Classic Chris, that picture is just fabulous Every detail is an example of the efforts the Old Masters utilized to"customize" an already legendary performing cue. Steve Klein is to be applauded for his attention to detail and finish on this cue. A Masterpiece in every sense of the...
