    Cliff Joyner news?????

    Cliff came and sat down at the table where I was playing at Buffalos on Bloomfield. He quipped a couple of sentences with a twinkle in his eye and I think I will know more when I have time to talk to him later. He looks like he is on the mend. JoeyA

    How much more accurate are the REVO shafts?

    I wonder if a REVO shaft could be colored like the BECUE shaft. That "snow-white" colored shaft is like looking down a laser and I'm not kidding. And not to hijack my own thread, but has any of the "snow-white" paint come off of the becue shafts since you started playing with it. I'm just...

    Who was/is best all around pool player, still alive today?

    Mistake at the table. Allen let Earl Heisler trick him into playing a big set of one pocket. After the money was posted, ole man Pete, opened the doors to the boiling room where the fresh seafood had been waiting to boil. The handicap of 9-7 was already firmed up as was the bet. Allen never...

    Who was/is best all around pool player, still alive today?

    In a conversation with Buddy Hall this week he had this to say: "Wimpy Lassiter was the best 9 ball player I ever saw. However, Eddie Taylor & Luther Lassiter both said I was the best 9 ball player they had ever seen." JoeyA

    Shaft Wax ( Discussing methods of shaft maintenace )

    IDK, wax sure acts as a barrier to chalk and it is easier to remove the chalk when it sticks to the wax, imo. But I respect your opinion. I like using wax on wood shafts because it saves on "sanding" the shaft to remove the dirt and chalk imbedded in the shaft. Joeya

    Who was/is best all around pool player, still alive today?

    I've always been mesmerized by Efren's play in any pool game and I'm biased about one pocket as well. Upon reading the WINS and TITLES that Nick Varner accumulated over his lifetime in various disciplines, I think I may have allowed my bias to run amuck. The serious spanking that Nick gave...

    Niels, is no doubt a great player and hold many titles. Has he done quite well at one pocket, straight pool and banks? Thanks, JoeyA

    Who was/is best all around pool player, still alive today?

    Okay here you go. I think arguably Efren Reyes is or was the best all-around pool player that is still alive. Maybe no longer in his prime but arguably the best all around player alive. Who would you pick as 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th? Not necessarily your FAVORITE pool player but the best...

    That was Doug all right. A little truth mixed in with the appropriate amount of humor thrown in to make it go down just right. JoeyA
