    Do you play better now or when you were younger?

    I'm playing way better now than in '60 to '64 when I was in college. After school I entered the Dark Ages of No Pool for 40 years, while I worked, married, had kids... then I took up the game again in '04. This time around I submitted to lessons, and that has made a huge difference. Also...

    spot shot question.

    AWESOME strokes! I would give up sex to be able to draw like that. (ok, i'm not getting any right now, but still....) ;) Any advice that would get me closer to stroking the ball that good? Please?

    What towns or citys are starved of pro pool?

    San Diego. We got bupkus. Well, ok, we have the WPBA tour stop once a year, but other than that, zip. HELP!

    What is your Plaing Cue?

    I've been using this Samsara (#1676) with lizard wrap, 30" Predator 314 series 2 shaft, Moori medium tip, built up to 20.5 oz. It has served me well. I like the feel of it.

    Az Get Together

    I've got plenty of Frisbees, but only one table. The way I figure it, we can shoot pool around the clock, and those who are not on the table will probably want to check out the beach, or world famous Torrey Pines golf course (public), or Sea World, or just snooze in the Fun House hammock, or...

    Pool Blogs of stronger (but not pro) players?

    Russ... Thanks for the feedback. Here's what I have done for you: I have reformatted the last 3 posts (2 babes and a lesson with Scott Lee) so that the text is left-justified (like most books). Check it out and let me know if this is better on the eyes. The photos are still centered, which...

    The Geezer Thread

    Count me in... I'll be 66 in a couple of months. How did that happen so fast? The best thing I have learned about dealing with aches and pains is YOGA. In its most basic form it's really only stretching, and breathing. It's easy, can be done almost anywhere, needs no machines, etc. The quiet...

    Status Of The Billiard Encyclopedia

    It will stand the test of time IF you keep it updated with a Billiards Encyclopedia website. You could add/change delete cue makers, players, stats, blogs, rules, etc. And make corrections as they are found.

    New License Plate

    Yep. 2006 convertible, Monterey Red, with head-up display, paddle shift, navigation system, on-star, drilled rotors, etc. Nice car. A week after I bought it in July 2006, I drove it up the California coast to Whistler, Canada (awesome drive) and then for the next 2 months drove 5,000 miles...

    New License Plate

    New license plate: In California, you are what you drive, and what you display on your license plate. For several years I resisted the urge to get a "vanity" plate, but somehow I fell prey to this one. 14.1, or straight pool, is the game I prefer. I shoot pool because I can not paint, or...

    Overcoming Contenderosis

    I bought and tried them, but found only one or two of the ten sessions to be helpful. However, I think you can get better results by modifying one or more of these sessions and making your own recordings that more closely track with your situation. That's what I did, and have definitely...
