    It was simply amazing!

    I've come across situations like this several times myself. Not to take anything away from league players, cause they're not all going to fit in the category. But it's really my belief that for the most part, league players aren't interested in pool as a sport. To many of them, it's a game...

    Local Tournament PERSPECTIVE on PRO PLAYERS

    Most amateurs would never get a chance to step into the batters box with Mariano Rivera, catch a pass from Payton, try to stop Kobe on a drive, or step into the ring with Manny pacquiao. There are very few sports where you can pay your entry fee and enter into a competition and shake hands with...

    Dollar water pays off big at "Hanks" billiards

    "Those People" and "F*)#king Nit" You punks are throwing names around like it's nothing. First of all, Measureman has never complained about being charged about paying for water. He only brought it up. I personally know Bruce to be a very loyal and financial contributor to Hanks. (he's one...

    Microwaved tips?????

    Bruce, I would think that this is another version of 'tweaking' a tip like a milk dud. I've heard there are several ways and formulas to making a milk dud, and one of those ways is to put them in the microwave after having soaked them in milk. If you're ever interested in trying a milk dud...

    Are there any Japanese Custom Cue Makers?

    Mezz offers a very high end series, but they are all models that are repeated. Adam has a custom line called Musashi that is basically another high end line of cues, however you can have a Musashi tailor made to your specs. Jun Shimizu heads up a shop that makes Keith/Andy Custom cues inspired...

    Running the Table: The Legend of Kid Delicious

    I was relieved to see that Bobby wasn't there two Sundays ago as he seems to have my number and for some reason ALWAYS brings my worst game. But then you had to be there!!:D Sorry do hear that BB had moved. I don't think I've ever seen anybody work so hard while practicing. dave

    Need help identifying object - not pool related

    My educated guess would be something close to a piece that bridged the gap between muzzle loader/black powder guns....................to semi automatic cartridge based firearms. A little more advanced that the typical muzzle loader in the sense that you can 'pre-load' several rounds, yet not...

    Three generations of top dogs in Denver -- who's the best?

    I have only been in Denver long enough to see Hadad and Danny play, and although Hadad is the better player at the moment, I would have to say that Danny took his game and accomplishments to a much higher level than anybody from Colorado ever has. Keep in mind though that on the barbox, Hadad is...

    when "in the zone/dead stroke"?

    Unlike others that say they see the balls clearly, and see every line the CB can possibly take or whatever the case, in the past when I went into "The Other World" I didn't 'see' anything. It was more like I just 'did'. Make sense? Most often when I've run multiple racks to finish a set. For...

    Slipping VS Rolling

    I even noticed that on some shots, I can make the CB 'slip' so much it actually spins in reverse...................and then after it hits a ball............................it 'slips' backwards! It's actually kinda cool to watch. Travis taught me how. dave

    Update on Denver pool room "Felt"

    Was thinking about going today in hopes that they're doing their Sunday tournaments. Anybody know anything? Can't find a website for Felt. Anybody know if it's worth the drive? Time, handicapped? dave

    How do you pick a new cue without hitting them?

    Buy a Kieth Josey, Sugartree, or an Andy Gilbert. I would buy unhit and sight unseen any three of these guys cues based on my own personal experience with the consistency of each one of these makers from one cue to another. Especially Josey. Every Josey I've ever hit with regardless of woods...

    Your greatest Shark Tactics

    I think that sharking sucks, and I spend lot's of energy making sure that nothing I do at the table can even be mistaken for a shark move. A good friend of mine back about 7-10 years ago would always play for $100 on paydays. It was a friendly monthly grudge match with shouting, barking, and...

    Whats the best tip these days

    I would have to rate Kamui regular (browns) and milk duds equals as far as the best tips I've ever used. But considering the milk duds are only $4, and they install easier than any of the layered tips, for those two reasons I tend to favor the milk duds slightly over the Kamui. I am very...

    Women in top level open pro tournys?

    I would have to say that the main factor here is simply numbers, or lack of. I think that the top 10 women players in the world are getting very close to the men. Allison and Karen are two women that on the right day can (and have) snap off a large tournament with several higher end pro men...

    Update on Denver pool room "Felt"

    Not to mention that Melissas table is the only one in the whole place where you're not backed up against a wood pillar, or having to move chairs around to take a shot. Also, much to be said about the temperature on summer afternoons when you might try to sneak in without the crowd. Until "Felt"...

    Update on Denver pool room "Felt"

    Melissas table is a Brunswick black rail. Seven of the other tables are being, (or may already have been) replaced by the Gold Crowns from Charlies. No Diamonds, but surely a move in the right direction to attract more 'players.' dave

    Update on Denver pool room "Felt"

    In response to Derek. Does "Bit-O" have a tourney on the "manly man" tables? Been thinking about heading up there, but I hate to drive that far for the bar boxes. dave

    Anyone have a stick they really wanted to like but couldn't?

    I've also gone through many cues in search of my holy grail, and never had I owned a single cue that did it all for me. When I say did it all, I mean looks, the way it played, the way it felt in my hands, and the way it sounded when it hit the CB. Player wise, I used a Wes Hunter that to this...
