Mark, in 1999 Nick won two World Titles. Early in the year, he won the World Bank Pool Championship in Louisville Kentucky. Nick closed out the year by winning the WPA World 9-Ball Championship in Alicante, Spain. Thanks for the contest.

Jimmy, so glad that you're doing better. I've enjoyed and learned so much from watching your DVD's. Wish I were on the East coast to see you in action. Best regards...

I've used the Willard for years but about six months ago I bought a Last4Ever. It's more expensive but well worth it - a great shaper.

The best in the West is Ned Morris. He lives in Desert Hot Springs just a few miles from Palm Springs. PM me if you'd like his telephone number.

I believe he's right. I've seen the same shot done the length of the table. Transfer of spin to the object ball.

You might try waxing both sides. If that doesn't work Lowe's sells a bottle of dry teflon (teflon particles in a liquid). Shake the bottle well because the teflon particles settle out and then apply (again to both sides). Give it a minute or so for the liquid to evaporate which leaves a thin...

I also use the CA glue from my .99 cent store. The reason I do, is that there are two small tubes of glue in a package which sells for 99 cents. I've used Loctite and it works very well. My problem with Loctite is that's it's a large bottle and I only do about 1 or 2 tips/month for friends...

I live in the Palm Springs/Rancho Mirage area and have a Global bar box on my patio. I've had it for about 3 years now and aside from getting dusty, haven't noticed any deterioration. I do keep a very heavy vinyl table cover on it. But with temperatures as high as 120 degrees, I have to...

In the front of Evon's Pool Room in NYC, the old men played 8-Ball for .05 cents per game and Evon racked each game. In the back room, he had two 9 foot tables where my buddies and I played. He charged .25 cents/hour. This goes back to the late 40's and early 50's. I'd go to the movies on...

Very clever fix. Thanks for posting.

Don't be a piker. It's well worth the 2k if the table looks to be in excellent condition plus there might be a really good cue in the batch. She's probably going thru a rough patch after losing her Dad.

Efren and Earl Strickland have been the most dynamic players during the last 35 years. As the old Polish saying goes: "Old chicken makes good soup!".

I shoot with a Schon CX-06 fitted with a McDermott I-3. The I-3 has a tip diameter of 11.75mm and I like the Moori Soft tip on it. I'm very comfortable playing with this cue. It's well balanced and just has a good "feel" to it.

Scott is absolutely 100% correct in his analysis. Earl has been a major force in pool for the past 35 years. In my opinion, he is one of the best players ever seen in this sport. He's a terrific shot maker, a master of positional play, a deadly safe player, and has shown outstanding...

I agree with Fast Lenny. It's a beautiful table and probably worth a lot more than a nine footer. Now all he needs is a good opponent - someone like Earl Strickland.

I shoot with a 11.75mm tip. Others have already mentioned deflection (my ferrule is only about 3/8" long, which also helps) but I like a small tip because it allows me to hit the cue ball with geometric precision which results in better position of the cue ball. Try playing with a small tip, I...

Good to hear that you pulled thru. Be sure to take it easy for a while. Spend a little time watching some good movies, taking short walks, and enjoying life. Good luck to you.

Although Rodney Morris is a great player, for some strange reason, Rodney doesn't play well in the Mosconi Cup. I think Team USA would do well by not having Rodney on the team.

In my opinion, Johnny has been a leader and inspires other team members to play their best. I hope to see him on the team again. What has me perplexed is that Rodney Morris is a great player but for some reason he consistantly bombs when playing in the Mosconi Cup. I have to give it to the...

I used to shoot with a Moori Medium. Had a little mushrooming a few weeks after installation but none after that. Switched to Moori soft about 2 years ago. Used 3 in that time. You'd expect some mushrooming with a soft tip but never had any mushrooming with any of the 3 soft tips. I've...
