    How does Allison Fisher aim?

    It' the Alfer again One thing I do know, or at least suspect, about Allison's deadly aiming is, with her Snooker background she is always shooting at the dead center of the pocket, as opposed to people (myself included) who are around pool all of the time tend to slide balls in touching the...

    Was I wrong for not telling my opponent he's shooting the wrong ball?!?!

    my apology to the chinchilla Sorry, didn't mean to ruffle your fur bringing up the "tests of character" but if you re-read my thought on the subject you will see that I do not accuse anyone of not having character and I'm certainly nobody's judge. Everything I say is just my opinion and just...

    A new book with great pool stories

    Oh lucky me that I re-connected to my old chum, Billy porter. All of us at the Cotton Palace, back in Dallas in the sixties knew he was cut of too fine a cloth to hustle pool. Oh, his game was allright but he wasn't mean enough. Now, he has helped me write a book about pool hustling and he...

    (Stolen) One of kind cue - Tucson AZ

    I too live in Tucson. If I can print out a picture of your cue, I'll take it by Click's and the other room and post it. Only a rotten son-of a ***** will take someone's cue or bicycle. I've lost both. Let us go back a century in time and equate them to, and treat them like horse thieves. Anyone...

    Was I wrong for not telling my opponent he's shooting the wrong ball?!?!

    They're all tests of character All throughout our day, we're presented with tests of character. It doesn't matter whether we're in church or a bar. When we ignore the rules of proper decorum and lead with our appetites, we fail these tests. But that's what carves us out as individuals...

    How does Allison Fisher aim?

    Allison knows "It's all about confidence, isn't it, Alfie?" Allison Fisher I think the reason she took a liking to me is her dog was named Alfie too. The last time I saw Allison she told me "We must always be friends because we've been in the toilet together" Referring to when she and Gerda...

    How does Allison Fisher aim?

    A note about Allison Please excuse me for barging in when I don't have any of Allison Fisher's aiming tips but an interesting side story about her (she's my dear friend, I might add) is I was producing a documentary on the WPBA in Hawaii and Allison was playing Vivian Villareal (what a dynamo)...

    Was I wrong for not telling my opponent he's shooting the wrong ball?!?!

    answer to Fearless Your friend was probably mad at himself for the overlook and decided to vent improperly toward you. Shake it off. Many years ago, when I was on the road, I was playing in a mostly black pool room in South Dallas. Just twenty dollar one-pocket, which wasn't "just" in the...

    Johnston City

    Thanks for the memories about Johnston City. I went there three times, not as a tournament player, more as a punk kid, hustler wannabe. (Damn Alfie. Doncha think you're being a little harsh?)The first time was with Sonny "The Mantee Raider" Springer. I was able to watch the toutnament games but...

    Alf Taylor's "The Other Side of the Road"

    question for Odzilla With a handle like that, you probably could have helped me get out of some of those tough pool rooms...back a zillion or so years. I see you're associated with Accustats. Would you please ask the man there who was good friends with Bill Staton contact me via...

    To Paul Davison Thank you, Paul, for your sweet critique of my book. It's always inspiring to hear. Someone once said "If you want to look good, write a book about yourself". I'm afraid this one is too accurate to do that. I sent a few of the pre-release copies to Hollywood and the first thank...

    Alf Taylor's "The Other Side of the Road"

    To JMD Yes sir. I am the one who made them. I also made one of the WPBA championship in Hawaii and On the All Japan Tournament. It's interesting how I have spent more time enjoying making these videos (Now DVDs) and then I never bother to promote them. I'm surprised to run across anyone who has...

    My answer to Jimmy Mack Hello Jimmy. How fun to have my memory jogged about my trapping the soldier you brought to Tucson in the seventies (posted yesterday 6;08). It's hard to believe that sombody who played Weldon's speed was either so gullible or egotistical to think they could beat ANYONE...

    If Billy Stroud is out there, please excuse me for accidentally leaving a letter out of your last name on my last post. Remember when we crashed in your Corvette? BTW, are you still an incredible player? My guess is "definitely" Keep it nice. Alfie
