I see in some posts that a Schneider is mentioned . Would he be Bob Schneider aka "TUNA" who was a mailman. He was a diver for both Hillside Swim Club & Reading High

I love those Jimmy Matz stories. In my pöst I tell a few myself as we were good friends. When I lived in Reading. Wedge, we must know each other from Heisters as I was there every day until I moved away. On 1 of the posts a jabo was mentioned. I believe he was talking about me, J Sabo as I...

Ace has always been a gentleman! He was 1 of the best players from Reading but was no match for Jimmy Matz. Does anyone know Mac Duncan? He had a lot of potential & was just starting to be a good player. We played each other many times at Paradice Billiards on S 9th St in Reading. In those...

I had been driving up to Leisure Lanes from Reading while visiting friends there. Leisure Lanes had GC's that played well A few of the players knew Jimmy & Ace. Had a good time. Just recently I was visiting old friends in Berks County & found Club Med in New Holland, PA on line & drove up. It...

Is it Jimmy's Balabushka? If so, that cue was at Proficent in Ephrata, PA for Refinishing. There is a framed picture of Jimmy in his stance down on the table as if he was shooting. When I knew Jimmy he did not drink at all. The accident caused a traumatic brain injury that caused over...

He spotted me 75 in a 100 point game not 200.

Jimmy Matz & I were good friends & played almost daily at Heister's Lane which is the bowling alley mentioned earlier. I was a good player but Jimmy spotted me 75 points in a 200 point game with me breaking. I never won a game. Often the only shot I had was the break as he would run 100 & out...

Has my story on Jimmy Matz been posted? I composed it at the wrong spot & am not sure if it posted

Jimmy & I were friends in the late 60's & early 70's until I moved to Ocean City, NJ. I have a few good stories about Jimmy. Jimmy Caras was giving an exhibition at Kutztown College & said I hear that there is a kid here who thinks he can beat me . They played a 125 point straight pool Match...

I'm Jan Sabo & I grew up in Reading, Pa & was good friends with Jimmy Matz. He was as good a player as anyone in the world. Best shot, best position player & best safety player I ever saw. Add tothat he was FEERLESS! He felt he could not miss & played that way! How do you beat a player like...

I had used a LePro hard tip on my McDermott D19 for yrs. Played very well. I had a Mori hard tip put on my Irishoriginal 13mm shaft & liked it. I sent my D19 to McDermott to have it re- rapped in Irish Linen & re-conditioned. Also had 2 12mm shafts made. Played great. In an 8 ball league on 9'...

Cory Duel used to play in a room in Naples, Fl & we played 8 ball a few times. His cue ball control was amazing. Main reason he was 1 of the best players in the world. Also, I grew up in Reading & Jimmy Matz & I were good friends. He was the best shot, best position player & safe player I ever...

Can a case for 2 X 2 withe cues be carry on for a 3 hr flight. I worry about having it in the main checked bay hold for obvious reasons.

I agree with Mike. I practice my stance & stroke most every night using my kitchen table as a pool table. Have a small red dot table height on a wall as an object ball. When I'm in stroke I have a slip stroke that I can feel & hear. Then it seems I can't miss. If my stance is off I can't get...
