Lomax I am a 3 cushion player so I kick, having said that I broke down and got me 2 jump cues. I did not like them. I could jump with them but prefer to kick. Two months ago, I got a Steve Lomax jump cue, wow. I cannot believe how easy it is to jump with this cue, it almost seems WRONG...

What does Private Message Mean I tried to watch the video and could not get it. What am I doing wrong. Thanks, Barney

Ray Sudden Great win Jay. Ray was a great player and loved to gamble. Cole Dixson came into the old Calfornia Billiards in San Jose, Ca. during Thanksgiving, wearing a suit and looking like a million dollars. He gave Ray the eight and lost his suit, cue, watch and borrowed all he could...

You Got Me Thinking Scott you got me thinking, yes I do pay safeties when it comes to 14.1. I also play safe in One Pocket. In our weekly ring games we always play shoot to hit. I also play safe in 8 ball. I just don’t do it in 9 ball hmmm you got me thinking? Thanks, Barney. Slim, yeah...

Good Points rrich1 and ChicagoRJ, I see your points and it does take skill to perform a safety. I am amazed at Efrens kicks. I still say why should you be rewarded when you get out of position. Take Care, Barney

Ball in Hand was started to speed up the game but it has affected the game. It has made kick safeties extremely important, if you can’t kick you lose. If you can’t jump you lose, and yes jump cues make it easy to jump. When a player get’s out of position today, he ducks and hides, I am so...

Not Sure Why Women Can’t Beat Men I am not sure why women pro’s can’t beat men pro’s. The simple fact is they can’t, not now not ever. It is not a math question? Sure more men play than women, but that doesn’t mean that by now we couldn’t have seen that women of a lifetime? By now in...

Bug Tussels Dave, Bug Tussels in Culman Alabama home of the 64 oz steak. I ordered the special Two 18 oz New York Steaks for $7.95. Mash Potatoes with gravy, green beans, corn on the cob, chilli beans, stuffing, salad and bread. Oh by the way the food was great. The owner raised his own...

Hi Lenny Lenny, yes I have the 49 Convertible and the 50 Lincoln. It was great talking to you at California Billiards. I just saw your Grady post and I want to thank you for your post and for your streamming. Take Care, Barney

Grady, you are the Best. Thanks, Lenny and Gerry Melendez. Great Video and I too cried and wanted more. I was at the One Pocket HOF dinner at the Derby when Bug’s was inducted. It was great seeing Bug's after more than 47 years. Sat next to Danny D and what a great stories he told. I...

Yes You Can Do It, but it Ain't easy Yes, 10,000 hours of dedication is about right, playing night and day, if you are 20 years and older. Oscar grew up around pool and his father is a Pro also. Oscar gave up the game early and decided later in his life to become a Pro Player. His will and...

Oh No Say It Ain't So Yes it was a poor choice of words. Only American pool players dump !!! Case in point 1991 International Challenge of Champions. I was reminded of this last week when the 14.1 Championships were held and a player almost won the World Championship. I know that the...

Jose should be in HOF Lenny, I agree. Jose Parica should be in the Hall of Fame. He has beat all the champions in his career in tournaments and for the cash.

South Dakota Kid Sky Rocket Dave Go Off John The Plummer (sweeeet pluummm) The Midge, Wayno The Wino (brothers) and my favorite Tommy Too Good

1991 International Challenge of Champions Did Charlie win..........

Most of my pool hereos are those that have been listed . Not all listed are great players, but they are great men and are good for the game. Not all great players here are my heroes espeacilly those who are not gentlemen.

Jcin I vote for Billy and Grady.

Easy Mike Mike, this is just my opinion, no offense taken. From my Avatar you can guess who my favorite player is. I try to watch all of Shane’s matches and yes I watched the Strickland Shane match. I forgot to mention that the game is roll out. That leaves out ducking and hiding because...

Sorry Shane SVB is my favorite player to watch in 10 ball. Francisco Bustamante is my personal friend, in his prime no one could beat him. KEITH in his prime for the cash could not be beat except for that girl at the Senator Hotel in Sacramento. When Luther Lassiter came for the...
