I thought I read somewhere that this game was already set up and Baby Huey was just waiting for you to show up. Maybe I read it at the one pocket site.

I'm sure it's a legal shot as long as there was not a push shot or a double hit on the cue ball involved. There are ways to pocket your ball in after making your opponents ball. One is to but some draw on the cue ball and hit your object ball full so that your object ball will take follow and...

Sounds perfectly legal to me but usually difficult to do if it was intended, it takes a bit of skill. I've seen it many times but mostly with luck.

Calvin is well known as one of the top players in SoCal. and has a vast amount of knowledge. Everyone that can should take advantage of the opportunity to learn from him.

Nice job. Looks very professional. You might consider adding a light diffuser to it soon.

One pocket is for old folks like me that can't draw the rock three feet anymore. Actually it's too complicated for the beginner. One needs to have the skills that the other games will give them. Games like rotation will let them develop their ball pocketing, imagination, and stroke. and the...

I wrote this a few years ago in reference to a couple of threads here on AZ comparing yesterdays players against todays. This is my opinion. Who's the best By Frank Almanza I have been asked many times to compare the players from yesteryear to today's crop. This question has always been...

If he's a sucker then the only two things I would not let him have is my playing cue and my money. Other than that he's welcome to everything else.

If you can play straight pool like John, then you can play any game.

Keith saying that he'll take it even though he thought it was a good hit is not showing respect for the ref's call. Best is just to take it and don't say anything.

Foul or not we need to accept the decision the ref makes on a call and not belittle the ref after that.

I just thought some of you might enjoy an article I wrote a few years ago about straight pool. Who's your Daddy? By Frank Almanza Once upon a time, a long long time ago, born to the green felt was a little game. During his toddler years, he was known as "little line up", and in his adolescent...

Maybe it's not broken but just not turned on. $$$$

For those that think that the APA rules are geared more to the beginner and lower level players. You think that what you make is what you got is easier than open after the break, then you need to rethink that. A good player will break and run many more racks playing open after the break and so...

I never had any problem with playing any two fouls but there were exceptions. As a matter of fact I preferred it if I was the better shot maker. When I played guys like Keith, Cole, Louie Roberts any others like that, guys that could make balls from anywhere I liked two by the same man. You...

That's the way I liked to play. If I couldn't out shoot them I would outthink them.

A friend of mine came over to play at my house and bought a set of cyclop balls. A few of us get together to play some one pocket. We played partners for about three hours and quickly determined that the cue ball with that big eye ball had a lot of wobble to it at the last foot of roll or so...

You might be right Johnnyt. Later in life he might agree with his wife and regret the missed time with his family. I know too well.

How your weight affects your game is not the important thing. It's the two kids under two that you should be concerned with. They are going to want to have you around as long as possible. Lose the weight for them by what ever means, exorcise or dieting but lose the extra weight. You'll feel...
