    APA National Team Tourmanent Who's goin?

    I'll be rattling pockets and testing rails for the 8-ball team tournament and for Masters. But mostly I'll be there to have fun. If anyone wants to hit some balls around and/or drink some whiskey pm me and we will see if we can set something up. Johnny

    SoCal Players..security video..cue case walking off

    Bill, I don't recognize the player, but I have posted the picture to my facebook. I know a lot of players in OC, so I'm hoping someone will recognize this guy. Has anyone shown the picture to the TD at Danny K's yet? If not, I can try to get it over to him to see if he recognizes the guy. Hope...

    Something occured to me that was funny re: my play and commentators

    Corey vs Dippy on TAR The closest I've ever seen to something like this was when TAR showed a one pocket match between Corey and Dippy. I think it was Beav, Nick Schulman and Johnny World doing the commentary. There may have been some adult beverages flowing for the last two of those guys. I...

    Samsara vs. Gulyassy J/Bs

    Gulyassy for sure I am also in the Gulyassy camp, although I am a big fan of the Samsara break tips. I have been using the Orange Crusher for over a year now, and I love it. I've also hit with the Anvil, and it hits and jumps as well as anything else I've ever used. The shaft freeze that Mike...

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there usually a pre-Swanee tournament Friday night before it starts? Is anything like that happening tonight? Johnny

    And if I lost the bet, the beer would be delivered by a leprechaun riding a unicorn.

    Swanee tournament - this weekend!!!!

    I heard he's been playing too much golf lately. Barely runs 200 in 14.1 anymore. I'd bet a beer from the bar at Hard Times that he wouldn't get to 4 against you. Johnny

    Finally my new Hercek cue is on the way

    Mighty fine looking cue. Is his waiting list really 10 years like it says on his website? Johnny

    Anvil, Orange Crusher & Grim Reaper

    Great deal for the Orange Crusher, as well. Hands down my favorite break cue, and also the one people borrow the most. I'll have to tell them to buy their own now. Johnny

    Hello....and I have a question.

    As my friends on here have mentioned, I bought one from Mike when he ran a special on them, mostly because I liked the way it looked, and I didn't like the McDermott Stinger j/b that I had at the time. Once I got it, I loved it. It has a very long taper, which I like because it allows me to...

    Joe, That's why I put *California* in there as well. To distinguish my merry band of lushes from the countless other groups of drunks from the Midwest and South. :-) Johnny

    Vegas bound again!!!!!!!!!

    Robley, Me and my 8 ball team, Liver Failure, will be out there Aug. 21-27. We will be the loud, drunk California people taking shots during their matches. If you think you see us, come up and say hi. Same goes for any other AZer's out there. I'll have a flask of Jameson, and I'm always...

    APA 6 vs. BCA Advanced level player. What is a fair spot?

    As I mentioned previously, getting the breaks keep him from putting packages on me. I may not run out consistently but it keeps him from putting packages on me. His break is a lot better than mine. But I do get what you are talking about. Against someone closer to my own level I would rather...

    APA 6 vs. BCA Advanced level player. What is a fair spot?

    Thanks to everyone for the responses. And yes, that was an atypical break performance for me. I usually am able to keep the cue ball near the center of the table, I was just overhitting those early breaks. Once I took some speed off I stopped scratching. I also switched from the cut break to a...
