    Announcing crack pot idea

    i see no good reason to bet against Jack and Dean. In my mind, they are testing the waters for the return of Libra II(my name, not theirs). They offer a simple proposition-if you would like to spend a little cash to purchase a cue that could be your best "player", contact them and get in on...

    this not the way it should be

    I never would have qualified as a great player even when I gambled with great regularity in the 60's. I was, however, fairly good at making games that I felt were to my advantage. My biggest score was $1700 which was a monster amount to me in the 60's but to big time gamblers, I guess it would...

    I am keeping a secret

    OMG, OMG, I found out the story by accident this past Saturday! Now, although he was completely innocent, I realize why Dean waited so many years to relate the news. Last Saturday, I ran into Jackpot at the Temple Bowling establishment. He was getting his balls polished(but that is another...

    I am keeping a secret

    CPB was the dream house for young pool players from Central Texas. I finally made my first trip in 1963 while a college freshman at Tarleton State in Stephenville. There was nothing around the Temple-Belton area that had bowling, a restaurant, and pool in the same building! I got to meet Jack...

    Harris Cues Meltdown on Eddie Wheat Proportions

    The loss of your shop and equipment would devastate most of us. I do not know either of these cue makers but I can sympathize with both. Mr. Harris is under a great deal of stress and it must have caused him to go off the rails. Mr.Murrell, I am sure, is also feeling the pain but seems to...

    Name a pool hall you wish was still open today

    "D's" Club, an upstairs pool hall in downtown Temple, Texas. Darrel Norman, the owner, played many of the road players who came through. Very few took any of his money home with them. His son, Larry, was very young at the time but as he matured, played pretty "sporty" himself. "Cannonball"...

    Win yourself one of my great hitting cues

    I first met Jersey Red in 1963 at the Cotton Bowling Palace. I was not in his league or even his planet in regards to playing pool but I came from Tarleton State in Stephenville to try to play some cheap 9 ball. Red was playing U. J. and, over time, had Puckett stuck pretty bad at $25 a game...

    Jeremy Jones

    I always enjoy matches where you and Jeremy work together. We get 2 viewpoints, not always in agreement, but definitely thoughtful about how to execute the next shot. So, a big hat's off to both of you!

    Happy birthday to jackpot

    Happy birthday, Jack. Wished D's Club was still open. I would drive to Temple to hit a few with you and then buy you a steak dinner at the cafe downstairs and next to the cab station.
