+1 I also force myself to run 50 balls of 14.1 a few times a week, but I am not a huge fan of the game......it is probably the best thing for the all around game. G.

When I look in my crystal ball I see high $$$ entry events happening a few times, then when the same dudes win each time....which always happens... the next event the same guys show, but the bottom half of the entries don't "enter" and just match up to battle between themselves. This is the...

Like this one? :) LP Custom, maple into rosewood with maple boxes. My daily player, but everything is for sale! :) G.

well beggers can't be....well you know. I paid $500 delivered to my house....I will have a 9'GC4, and a heated 10' GC 3c in my basement!.....I will be one happy dude no matter how they play! G

YUP! that and the lesser players like the sound of "lucking in " balls is ok....it gets them to pony up the entry fee, so you know what....IMO smash away and luck em in all you want....as a better player it is my job to overcome that with a few tight safeties! G.

my Physiologist keeps jamming my shoulder with Cortisone in huemungus needles! :) but it's helping! Hey, whatever it takes to force you to stay focused is fine by me. CTE, TOI, or ETS< my system :) Edge To Section. G.

Hi Rob, I'm not sure if Jimmy has mentioned it, but I am working on getting my 1966 Gold Crown 3c table set up here at my house.....it is super clean with (1) set of staples, and the white plastic side skirts included. When you get some time, please give me a call, and we can work out the...

thanks Steve! I guess I got lucky! Yes Yura seemed to really care about promoting the game, not just for business reasons, but because I feel he really loves the game! and he gave me tons of great info on how to assemble my 10' Gold Crown 3c table in my basement. G.

Another relevant Allen Hopkins comment just came back into my cobweb head!!!.. I remember a conversation about Mr. McCready.....I was working a 14.1 tournament sitting between Allen, and Jack Colavito (sp?).... I was getting schooled by Allen in our match, and I opted to shoot a crazy stroke...

The OP asked about switching shafts onto different cues, which is fine, but will change the hit. So, I was trying to explain how I made shafts that did not come with a certain cue butt fit better. sorry my post was confusing....kinda hard to explain machining.....easier to show. I have traded...

thanx for the kind words! I have had the pleasure of sitting (drinking) and bs'ing with Allen many times. He has the inate ability to clock a players speed with a glance, AND remember EVERY match he ever played!:) his stories are the best! here is a pic of me n Allen at my buddies pool...

I would like to thank a new friend I met today named Yura....a nickname I believe. We met at Classic Billiards here in Phoenixville PA. We talked 3c and then played a couple of hours on the Kronos.....he was nice enough to let me get a few points......he ended up beating me 42 to 29, and he had...

Here's one of my long time secrets! I take #12 bare copper wire and make donut like rings that I slip over the pin intil they stack up and slightly touch the shaft holding off from screwing together with no tension by about the thickness of a playing card....then cinch the shaft down to set...

I'm gonna go out on a teeny short stubby limb here and say this...... I have been in pool rooms, and worked in pool rooms for the last 30 years....before that I played in my basement! :) I don't think some of you realize how strong top flight players play, and the pressure that puts on you. To...

For the life of me I cannot see how streaming, or collecting video from ANY world class player at any event be anything but a learning tool for all us aspiring 3c'rs! You can talk til you are blue in the face explaining a position, BUT.....let me see the video and you don't have to say a word...

these are the gems that can get lost in time and the new upcoming lovers of the game never hear about! Hey CJ.....write a book! :) G.

Dude, we are on the same wave length! I own a plumbing business, and I went into one of our service trucks and used a 4" section of 1/2" CPVC tubing slit down the middle and adapted to fit the lathe! it worked famously! I put on a Talisman soft tip, BUT...I think the ferrule is not glued on...

I have asked the same question over the years to many top pros...Hopkins, Sigel, Varner, Rempe etc... since Earl is one of my favs... They all say the same thing....when Earl was in high gear, give up! he just will not miss, and he can bury you in a matter of minutes. No one loved the game of...

yep, spot on. I'm sure Jimmy the owner will appreciate that. Gerry

perving? is that even a thing? see, even my spell check is not accepting it! sounds like something from my favorite show Archer. G.
