Hello everyone, This is Neil's daughter, Jennifer. He passed away yesterday (2/25/18) evening. It was my Dad's wishes that I let everyone know.

We often hear, and tell ourselves, that pool is a very hard game to play. Well, this evening I was strolling through youtube and came across some videos of the organist for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. On one video he showed how it works. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NN0gfBjZWOc Basically...

Don't know what year it was, but it was around 1/4 century ago. Get to see them in their prime. And, for those that think todays commentators are bad, wait till you hear the guy they stuck Buddy with. He doesn't have a clue. Funny spot at 12:57 when the announcer spots a pretty lady...

What is the rough price on a Dufferin conversion cue? A house cue made into a two piece? Looks to be in good shape. Don't have any pictures. But don't really need a picture of a Dufferin house cue. I'm guessing about $100. Am I in the ball park?

This morning I watched Pres. Trumps commencement speech at Liberty University. Normally, I wouldn't bother watching a commencement speech, but for some reason, today I did. I am very glad I did, as it was a great speech. Throughout many portions of the speech, I couldn't help but think of...

Have any of you ever heard of a guy named Res that makes cues? I have googled him to no avail. I have never been one to put much if any stock into improving ones game through buying it, but am open to it. (I guess). Lately, a number of people that have watched me have all said the same thing...

Dr. Dave just ended the Billiard University Exam Challenge. There were only 4 people in the pro division, and only 10 people entered the amateur division. This challenge was free money. No entry fee, no travel. Just table time if you don't have free access to a 9' table. Why have so few even...

Big congratulations to Shane on winning both the 10 ball and the 8 ball U.S. Open titles! Losing the first match in the 8 ball and coming all the way through to win it all is a true sign of the champion that he is. Also, congrats to Rory and Jesse on their very high finishes!

Interesting article about poker pro Vanessa Selbst on her thinking going into a tournament. Applies to pool the same as it does to poker. http://www.forbes.com/sites/deniserestauri/2016/06/14/top-poker-player-wins-11-6-million-and-goes-to-work-thinking-shes-a-loser/#7939e6576dd8

Not many know the proper way to make the cue ball dance. As you can see in the video, it requires loading up the cue with the proper moves. When done correctly, the cue ball will actually dance for you. When done properly, as the person in the video does, it will blow your opponents mind...

Here's some advanced drills from the Billiard Brothers. Have fun! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRGy6c3Wxw6IyX0RhKmoLRQ

Who's got a valid link for the Mosconi cup today? Yesterday's link is showing boxing, and can't seem to find it anywhere's.

This is the 40th year, and is supposed to be really special. I've heard a number of things wrong with it, but nothing about the event pertaining to anything that has made it different than the others. What was done that made it so special this year?

The Grand Rapids, Mi. Open will be Dec. 3-6. Flyer is in the link below. https://www.mippa.net/Downloads/GR%20Open%20Flyer.pdf

Since the trolling thread about me was removed, and some think that was indicative of how I always play, I decided to throw up a video of around the same time frame when I was having a much better breathing day. This video is pretty indicative of how I actually played a couple of years ago. I...

I see all this talk about Ko getting lucky, getting the rolls. Part of me wants to say, yes, he did. And, for years, I used to complain about certain peoples luck. Seemed like whenever they missed, they got an accidental hook. :eek::angry: Today, I look at it a little differently. Instead of...

Anyone watch that match last night on TVMike? Who ended up winning the second set? Last I saw, Lawson was up 4 games. Had an easy shot to go up 6 games and blew it. That was about 1:30 a.m.

Don't know who this guy is, but here are some specialty shots he shows. Notice on the side bar, there are three more clips besides this one. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7iLtwX4sxg edit: It's Jeff Olney.

The other day I made the statement that it does not matter what your bridge length is when pivoting for 90/90. I believe the same holds true for CTE, but your initial alignment is different for CTE. There was controversy over my statement, with some claiming that it does matter, and some going...
