Some I've kept others that didn't lite my fire on to the next guy. Thanks For Looking. I for one would like to see what you are keeping? Cross Side Larry "Learn from the best, and beat the rest"

Olive Wood Cue Question? I have a magnificent olive wood cue custom made by Jack Madden. It is truly spectacular in all regards and hits like a dream. Provide me with your email address and I will send you some pictures of it. Cross Side Larry "Learn from the best, and beat the rest"

Don't do it Grady Grady: When I get my "Inside Pool" magazine, the first thing I do is turn to your column. After reading it, I then set up the shot or shots you explain on my table and I practice them until I own them. I rarely do much more with the mag than leaf through it. Lastly, I...

sniper vs talisman tip I too have played with Talisman M/H. I tried Sniper and Morri Medium on my Gina and Jack Madden cues. I have yet to find a tip as consistent as the Talisman with rarely a mis cue and I play on the extreme outside of the cue ball. Being a bank player and a student of...

Micro wave chalk I bet if you micro wave a cube of any chalk for three minutes it will explode... a golf ball will explode in 20 seconds in the micro.

Gary Spaeth Thanks for a great post on Gary. I too notice that the best bankers do hit the ball hard when shooting it back table length. I believe that is the best way to eliminate the effect of friction? What do you say Freddy? Cross Side Larry "Learn from the best and beat the rest"

Joey vs Gary Yes, Sherm would be the foremost authority on Joey and Gary both. What is a lesser known fact is that possibly better than both of them was Joey's father who inspired and taught him all that he knew and he knew a lot! He was known as "Northside Eddie" because he hung out at...

Who Danny Played with! It was Marco Marquez. I matched up with Marco the night before for just $5.00 a game. I won two games and Marco won four. He too is a class guy and a great banker! Cross Side Larry

Gabriel? Excuse me, but why would anyone in this country buy a Gabriel when it is merely a copied Diamond. If you don't believe it, simply call Diamond and ask them to relate the outcome of their law suit against Gabriel for patent infringement. BTW, it was Diamond who agreed to sell...

I meant Donny not Kenny Anderson I must be getting senile. I read your post and saw Kenny so responded w/ Kenny when I meant Donny!

Kenny Anderson Yea, I grew up in Cincinnati in the fifty's and sixties and knew all these guys. Played most of them at Western Bowl where they all hung when not at Mergards or Ernst's. Kenny was a monster at all games but would have been around to play Gary's Dad more than Gary. That would...

Bugs or Gary Spaeth I believe it would be Bugs taking the money over Gary. I knew Gary's father, Joey Spaeth and his grandfather, Eddie Spaeth, both from Cincinnati, Ohio. I do not know Bugs personnaly but have researched his history and have his three DVD's. They are very hard to come by...

You don't believe me huh? Before I waste my time and money making you a copy of the Bugs Rucker DVD which I had to pay dearly to acquire. why don't we just make a little wager.... Say about $25.00? I'm not trying to gouge anybody, just want to prove the point and cover my expenses. So, whats...

Two tips of English May I weigh in here: I recently acquired the Chicago "Bugs" Rucker DVD's on Banking. There are three DVD's: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. May I first say that Bugs is nothing short of awesome in these DVD's and anyone who loves the game of bank pool as I and others...

glove Me and Freddy Couples don't wear gloves!

Danny Can't help but weigh in on this one... In my opinion having watched Danny play, he is unquestionably one of the best in the game today and I mean in all games! His personality is unequivocally as good as it gets and he will go out of his way make you feel good. He always compliments his...

Bank bet I believe a lot depends upon the table. I shoot bank pool exclusively and own a nine foot Diamond with pro cut pockets. I practice banks typically 3 to 4 hours daily and play two standing matches on week ends. I consider my self an "A" rated bank player. I tried this bet and to my...

Best hitting cues for me: Balabushka Gina Madden

your "magic memory warchest" Wow! That was really well said! Cross Side Larry "Learn from the best, and beat the rest"

Inside English Three Rail Kick on nineball. Great shot. After many attempts om my Diamond Pro w/860 Simonis, I finally made it. My question is, where do I go to find the graphics tool you used to illustrate the shot? I have been asked to illustrate a few shots also but don't know where to...
