How do you get Efren to show up?
Where do you expect this event (if it can be arranged?), to be held? On what kind of table and with what kind of cloth?
Gray Chalk
I have a nine foot Diamond Pro w/ 860 Blue Tournament Cloth. I most strongly agree that Gray is the best. Though it does show a significant mottle after the impact, it brushes off easier than any other color. I love the gray Masters Chalk for cue performance also!

I personally enjoyed Freddy's first Banking book immensely. Any feedback on his second book? Specifically, does it present new information or a different slant on techniques from his first book?

One Pocket Above The Table / IS RA the man?
Freddie, Grady and Jay: Thanks for all the feedback on my original question but only Jay answered the whole question, which was, "is there anyone out there today who can match RA's above the table skills playing one pocket?" Jay's response was that...
All input is appreciated but since Freddy The Beard and Grady are highly respected one pocket officianados. I will ask them first:
Was Ronnie Allen truly the best ever at playing one pocket above the table. Also, is there anyone out there today who could match his skills playing above the...
Have been noticing how many top players, i.e., Allison, Efren and others of their skill level use metal jointed cues. I have for years preferred ivory.
Would like to hear other's opinion and why?
Looking for Bank Pool Action In Phoenix... Play would be on my 9 foot Diamond Pro with 860 DCC blue cloth. Will play the pros if the weight is right. Nothing outlandish. $25.00 - $50.00 games works for me.

No, he is not blowing smoke.
Spinning the cue is a great technique to learn and master. It is mainly used when attempting to widen the angle of a bank shot far beyond what an extreme cut with boo coo english will provide for. The all time master of this technique among living players has got...

Let's not forget about Cornbread Red in Detroit.
Hi Keither: May I suggest we not forget about "Nine Ball" Harry Sexton, also known as "Poochy Sexton"

Without a doubt, Dave Clayton is the best table mechanic in the area. He has done my Diamond Pro nine footer twice and my Diamond seven footer once. He is better than excellent, he is superb! Reasonable in price also.

Four years ago, Ernie Gutierrez was charging $450.00 for an elephant ear wrap on his cues. Don't know what he charges today?

Best cue for banking???
I bank best with my Jack Madden and my Gina cues. I believe a lot has to do with the shaft and the tip. A shaft with minimum deflection and a tip that best transfers spin, seems to work best for me. Not sure if either/or is all that important when compared to the...
Was unaware of Dallas match. Scott did say they had a "history" but claims he beat Billy for $12,000.00 during their first encounter. Maybe they have matched up now three times and if the numbers are correct as stated and I know as a fact the DCC match was correct, then Billy is still ahead by...
Watched Scott Frost give Billy Incardona the break and a pick in one pocket action at DCC. Scott won six up at $300.00 per game. Billy had an extra $300.00 on himself with the railbirds. Billy quit $3,600.00 down. Days later was inducted into the Hall Of Fame. I backed Scott Frost but was...
