I watched Dennis for 3 days at an IPT qualifier competing against 76 other players. The room, Hard Times, is a regullar stop for the other Filipinos when they are in So. Calif. He was awesome at 8 Ball, 9 Ball and rotation. He didn't really know 1 Pocket at the time but siad he was going to...

Hithrdnrun & Erno thanks for the update. Everyone else who said that they would update us seemed to have flaked out. Maybe we all need to chip in and make sure that Jam and Keith are there every year. This has been disappointing so far. Next year there will be 2 additional spectators from So...

My new Joey Bautista.

Martin, I know that you rep for several different cuemakers, I was just wondering if they all core their cues? Would each cuemaker make a demo cue in the event that they don't all core their cues? By the way I got my cue from Joey and I really, really like the hit. PM me the next time you plan...

I just got a cue from JoeyInCalif last week for under a 1000 and it hits better than the Tad I recently sold. In fairness thou ghthe Tad didn't have the original shafts. I know the effort that went into my new cue and the diligence in selecting and aging the wood. In a country of 1.3 billion it...

I have never been to China. However, I speak with my wifes cousin who is a dentist in Heidlberg area of Germany monthly. He just returned from a couple of weeks in China and he was awed by what he saw. The construction that Jay mentioned astounded him. Maps that were only 2 yrs old would be...

I was talking to a guy last night at Hard Times who now carries a line of cues made by a Taiwanese family. The cues are very impressive in their looks and hit amazingly well. He had one partially made cue that he was able to disassemble and what he called the "A" joint was all wood with a wood...

There was a guy in So. Calif who would load up a large truck and head out with a couple of guys who he followed in his RV. I believe his name was Tom Wolf. While he was gone he had 3 guys hustling the stuff in the L.A area. It took him no time at all to move the truck load. Eventually he had a...

A reasonable balance can be struck with patience. Her limits will usually very limited in regards to pool. She wants her time and her props and your interest in pool threatens that. Try to reach an agreement that is acceptable to her even if it is not to you! Keep to the agreement the agreement...

The accolades continue to mount and justifiably so! I'll be able to start playing next month but am going to review the tapes of previous lessons right away. Not only is the personal time he spends teaching invaluable but the tapes give you tools to benefit from long after he leaves. Scott...

I've kept an old McDermott on the floor of my back seat for yrs. What I do is wrap it in a silver sun reflecting dash protector and leave my windows slightly open. The cue is never hot or even warm when I get it out to play. Works in So. Calif or maybe I've been just lucky the last 3 yrs or so.

Totally understand your position. Thanks.

Does anyone know what Harry Platis, the attorney from Washington State, thinks about this whole situation? Does anyone know if any player has contacted him? He is probably one of the most pool wise attorneys in the U.S. If there was a real chance of nailing KT I would think he would have jumped...

Scott is 1st class! Each session is tailored for the person he is with and the videos add so much value. Your comment about shooting the wrong way reminded me of a story I read. Ciscero Murphy was watching a 14-1 match where one of the players ran 115 and out. Ciscero asked the guy if he would...

Once an organization starts telling an Independent Contractor where and what time to be someplace and dictating what they do the Independent Contractor becomes an employee, no matter what paperwork is signed.

There used to be a guy at Hard Times in So. Calif who had a pump and every other type of movement imaginable but went through the ball straight every time. Guys wanted to take him on the road figuring they could make a fortune. The only problem was the guy could not keep his mouth shut and would...

I've watched Efren dozens of times and have never seen him be anything but courteous to opposing players. He always seems to have fun. Maybe he is so subtle that I and others at So. Calif rooms don't see him disrespect anyone. Guess I'll have to get the DVD.

Glad to hear it! I was just going off the post that said that they were making fun many times over of Efren. My bad. Glad to hear that they gave him props. My only info is coming off this board.

Nobody should make fun of Efren Reyes in any way shape or form, especially someone who has been eliminated. Tongue in cheek or not this is a 52 yr old man who is once again in the top 6! Way past his prime and still competing at the highest level. They should give him the respect he deserves.
