    A Pretty Sweet One Pocket Shot - Ellerman vs Runnels

    Wrong on both counts. He lined up the carom exactly as it came out he pointed to where the cue ball was going to go and put his stick down at the angle the cueball was going to come into the ball he made. Also, there was no double kiss.

    A Pretty Sweet One Pocket Shot - Ellerman vs Runnels

    It doesn't look like the end rail to end rail to the pocket was possible from the angle he had, he barely missed the double kiss by overcutting it as much as he did so he could get the 2 rail carom which is what he lined up to do and executed perfectly.

    Cecil Tugwell - Passes Away

    quiet time I had just busted Cecil's backer and Cecil was broke. I gave him a little bit of cash and then he asked me for a ride home from Hollywood Billiards. I said sure and then asked where he was going. Of course it was Florence and Broadway where the rioting had occurred in '92. He...

    Recruiting Pro and Top Players to be Featured in Virtual Pool 4

    I believe this was covered in the first post by Tate: "If a player is selected, this will be a great way to expose themselves for sponsorship and to promote their products and website. Virtual Pool is the top selling pool game of all time and it's about to go even bigger. Between the mobile...

    Archer's View on Diamond tables

    Good observations Mark. After watching the video of the miss it looks like Johnny just put a horrible punch stroke on the ball. On the miss the cue tip is pointed way up in the air on the follow through. When he sets it up again he hits the same shot with a smooth stroke and the tip...

    I'm Not a Top player but...

    I don't think this is true. I have learned several aiming systems that are based on spin on the QB. For e.g. back hand english allows for as much spin as you want on the QB without altering the aiming point. Also I believe I learned it from CJ Wiley tapes years ago where I put a lot of spin...

    my csi trip with earl .

    You probably have the best player in Montana, Cole Dixon, just down the road in Billings and if he was able to teach you could probably learn a ton of great shots and banks but I am not sure he ever plays in Montana.

    chalk with opposite hand...why?

    i'm a scottish player and I wear a kilt when I play. To stimulate myself I wedge a piece of chalk between my butt cheeks. I find this tends to stimulate my prefrontal lobes as I tend to not operate off the left and right brains but the front and back. Ian Mcloud

    pickle in a pickle

    Well, at least his bond of $75,000 is $25,000 less than the other 2 guys and his charges don't include the gun charge or impersonating a police officer like the other 2 guys.

    pickle in a pickle

    Some of the reported facts so far: They said they were police, they ziptied the victims, they ransacked the place and they got caught by the police with the stolen property and the handguns used in the robbery. I am sure their court appointed lawyer is telling them they have a very good case.

    Hollywood Billiards- The End???

    Danny Shades I believe he is semi-retired from the music business but he still is involved in some major events on Friday and Saturday nights, so you won't see him around then. Nine ball was his game up until 7 or 8 years ago, if the game is right he will still match up in 9 ball or 8 ball...
