I think I read somewhere that he played a scorekeeper in “The Hustler”. I have a clearer picture of him from the 1972 Johnston City programme. Will post later Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tom Cosmo It took a while but I did find it! Enjoy, guys The National Billiard News, vol. 5, No. 12, August 1968, p.19 Tom Cosmo - The One, And Only by Tom McEwen (Most typos have been corrected.) Tom Cosmo bills himself as "the world's only dancing comedy trick shot artist" and it's a...

Now you brought it up I will have to dust off my NBN pile and check Edit: page 5 of Jay’s Pool Wars says it was Johnston City. I hope Jay doesn’t mind me posting this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

and Jim Rempe, of course. I think he won the one pocket division in 1971. The field must have been fairly weak that year or Jim just got very lucky. Watching him play Jimmy Fusco at the 1991 Legends, I must say that one pocket clearly wasn’t his forte Edit. Keith Thompson is also alive and...

It could have been Tom Cosmo? A “cosmo out - do people remember what it means? Same as a Mickey Mouse out. He was in Johnston City. I’m pretty sure I read an article about him in The National Billiard News. Will try to dig out and post later Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It would be great to have a photo gallery of the Glenn collection. I think there are over 50 Bushkas in there. I found a couple of videos on youtube of the collection. One video has Denny Glenn sharing stories of some of the cues. Enjoy everyone! 1) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=W8QmJAs2RZU 2)...

Very sad to hear this :cry::cry::cry:. Joss Wests made by Billy are the best playing cues I've ever had. It's because Billy was not just a talented cue maker but an excellent player, too! He was also a fine commentator - check out this match from 1991 Legends of One Pocket (held in Columbia...

What is it so boring about these South Wests? The answer is nothing! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you Arnaldo. This is just awesome! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I recall watching his matches with Babe Cranfield, Fats and Jimmy Moore from 1982 ESPN Legends of Pocket Billiards. I think he beat Jimmy in the finals. I don’t think I still have the tapes but would love to see these matches again if anyone had them converted to DVD Sent from my iPhone using...

I know it’s hard Jeff but try to stay positive. My thoughts are with you and your family at this difficult time Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’d throw Paul Drexler and Mike Lambros into the mix. Their build quality and feel is great, that’s probably why you don’t see many for sale on AZB Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's a shame, really Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m not aware of one. A cool name, though. It may catch on :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just don’t mention acme pin if you want to get an answer from Evan Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If I were to pick just one thing, I’d say cue ball control Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’d go with Schmelke. They supply blanks to many a cuemaker and you can actually build a cue to your specs on their website for around $200. Best bang for your buck, by far and large Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hurricanes at Kings Cross is more of a bang-the-balls-around-have-a-drink type of joint. They have some of the worst tables I ever played on. That table with the light-blue cloth (the one they played on) is slightly better but a far cry from being a good table (they even call it a “pro” table...

It probably wouldn’t have happened if he didn’t get an extremely lucky roll on the nine either. :) Sigel blasting the balls is no excuse, though. It clearly shows the difference in attitude and demeanour at the table. As Danny Diliberto once said: “You have to earn a chance to get lucky”! If...

A pool lesson with Jerry Briesath and Byrne’s Standard Video are the best for learning the fundamentals, imho Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
