Right. Any article in Playboy was a much the product of an editor as it was the writer. The editor would have steered the piece to a non-billiard readership.

Last time I was in there was to watch a tournament, no idea which one. Efren and Rodney were playing chess between matches on a card table set up outside the Men's Room. Dennis Orcollo won it. One of the best local/regional players who showed up at Family was Han Chung. Great room.

No, but I must have had one, because I was there for some of them. Awesome events, twice a year.

Thank you.

I have an older Schmelke weighing a bit over 19 oz. that I would like to reduce by 1/2 oz to 3/4 oz. The butt is one-piece solid bocote and there is no weight bolt. I'm wondering if it's practical to drill up into the butt to reduce the weight by removing some wood. I'd do some tests on another...

Movement, however miniscule. Movement of your head, your eyes, hands, body--or most important, your brain. That said, following through properly and staying riveted to see the actual contact with the OB... those cure all kinds of lesser problems IMO.

Don't disagree with you, but he left me a number of cues that I treasure. Great guy.

Thanks very much. It didn't appear out of nowhere but was left to me by a close pool buddy who passed away. I know a fair amount about cues and have a few. I just don't use this one and am thinking I might as well sell it.

Can anyone tell me what model this Meucci is and what would be a fair price to sell it for? Butt is pristine, long-ferrule shaft is chalk-stained but smooth. Thanks very much.

Not sure if this is right, but I take it to mean a cue with no points or decoration in the butt sleeve or forearm, handle can be wrapped or wrapless. Does an unadorned, one-piece butt qualify as a Merry Widow? Can anyone tell me where the term Merry Widow comes from? Thx

It looks like my Rengas cue, but it looks to be something else, stained.

This YT video purports to demonstrate a shot taught to the poster by Earl Strickland. If you're like me, you know it makes no sense. What is surprising is the number of YT commenters who say it works. It appears to say that, for cut shots using english, simply aim dead center at the OB and...

Yes, cocobolo is heavier. Back in the day, I ordered a (mostly) cocobolo cue from McDermott. I wanted 19 oz. and they said the lightest they could make it was over 21.

HI. I'd like to find a Players like I once had, or the same with a different wood. Shiny black composite wrapless handle with zebrawood, walnut or cocobolo butt and forearm. No points or any other decoration. Thanks.

If you waited a year and 5 months, even if everything came out perfectly, the cuemaker should not have taken the work on in the first place. He should have told you he was too busy or told you it could take more than a year.

I'd been using a 314 for about a year and liked it very much. I was skeptical that I'd find a CF any different, but I recently bought a Rhino and the change improved my game. The characteristic that stands out most for me with the CF is better energy transfer. I'm not hitting the ball as hard...

I wonder if Chezka's intimidation factor contributed to Seo Seoa's scooping that draw shot in LV. Didn't she have Chezka on the ropes at that point? Seoa outplayed her 13-11 and lost the shootout.

Wow. Can you tell me where this rule is found? Thx

Assuming WPA rules are in play, if a player is on the 10-ball, shooting to win, and pockets the 10 in a pocket other than the one he called, does the 10 spot and the incoming player has the usual option of shooting or giving it back? My opponent did this today, and both of us having an 8-ball...

Efren for brilliance, Gorst/Filler, Seo Seoa.
