    How good were Cole Dickson and Mark Tadd?

    My memory might be going. Is this 7 ball spot a money ball? So if the person getting the spot makes the 7 ball or 9 ball at any time during the game they win? Because for a top player, this is not really a spot to be getting otherwise. If a top player can get to the 7, they can get to the 9...

    How good were Cole Dickson and Mark Tadd?

    You probably watched that Luat vs Dickson one pocket match available from Accu-Stats or maybe YouTube. Cole almost always knows exactly where he's placing the cue ball. On the final shot of the match, I think Cole put the cue ball intentionally where he knew Luat might go for it. It was a world...

    Cure for boredom - if your inspiration is waning: jack the bet.

    Cue shaft: Best Bang for the Buck?

    I'll go with either a CF Rhino or a Standard Maple Schon. Okay. I think that's a wrap. Thanks to all.

    Everyone can look. But only a few can see.

    I would classify boredom as a subset of Gump's, "Stupid is as stupid does." If you're bored you should be doing something else. Laziness could be attributed to a physical or mental condition. Otherwise it is Gump, again. Just like there is a blind spot in vision, maybe a person could have any...

    Cue shaft: Best Bang for the Buck?

    I have never played with a CF. But I am open minded. J & J America distributor is near me. I actually visited them several years ago. They are not retail but would have sold me anything I wanted at the time. Nice helpful lady. Seems like I have gotten probably enough of the best possible...

    Everyone can look. But only a few can see.

    "Seeing is overrated." Place this near the top of the AZBilliards forum famous quotes list. "...weak knees, rubbery stroke and failed mental awareness at contact." "What, do you think we're all a bunch on ingenues here who just fell off the turnip truck?" From little fish to big fish, to a...

    How good were Cole Dickson and Mark Tadd?

    1969. Nobody was better than Cole. Ask anyone who knew Cole's game in '69 or so and see what they say. Comparisons of Cole then with Earl in his prime are reasonable. The most that could be said at the time is that, if they consistently got the rolls, they might have won some money. I think...

    Buddy Hall made $85,000 in 1982

    Does Buddy have an email address? I don't know him well enough to just pick up the phone and give him a call. I only met him once in Las Vegas at a 9-Ball tournament about 8 - 10 years ago. I asked him if he really did invent the "clock system." He nodded and said, "Yes."

    New cue shaft for Schon STL-6 purchased in Dec. 2001. Budget is tight. Money vs quality is the only consideration. Recommend Best Bang for the Buck cue shaft?

    Buddy Hall made $85,000 in 1982

    Can't remember the exact year, somewhere around 1976 - 1978 but I am certain of this. I was at the Caesar's Tahoe 9-Ball tournament. I remember at one point, in the lobby, I saw Cole Dickson for the last time. He was surrounded by at least a dozen enthusiastic fans. Just to look at him: he...

    Buddy Hall made $85,000 in 1982

    Cannot remember. I searched for it but could not find it. Maybe from a YouTube pool video a commentator may have said it. But here is where some of it came from: "In 1982 Buddy won the Caesar's Tahoe Nine-ball Championship by edging out Allen Hopkins in the final with a score of 11–6...

    Very Best Pool Video Instruction: Free or Paid?

    Are there really lots of people who share their knowledge fully and sincerely in this forum? jbart65 is the poster child here. His recommendation of Tor Lowry is the best example based on my limited experience. When I discovered Tor several years ago I was blown away. At the time the price was...
