I am on the selection committee for establishing a Wichita Pool Players Hall of Fame. We are doing this in a professional manner, and our exhibits will reflect that. We have selected 3 players for our first year. One of the inductees is Greg 'Big Train' Stevens, who has passed. We have...

I have never come across this situation before, and that's why I am asking: In Short rack 8 ball (4 stripes, 4 solids, and 8 ball racked as 9 ball, then played as normal BCA 8 ball after the break), this is what happened: Player made 3 stripes and a solid on the break. Player then shoots the...

Since my birthday is a week away, and I will be 65, I have to ask the question whether a player's handicap should drop, and at what age would you consider it proper to do so??? All of us older players know that you can not maintain the same level of play that you did when you were younger...

I am trying to locate and get a message to Frank Jonic, Canadian Snooker player. He played in the Canadian National Snooker Finals in the mid 80's. He traveled and played in the USA for awhile. He would be about 54 today. Anyone that has information about him, or that can get a message to...

I need to locate and get a message to Frank Jonic, Canadian Snooker player. I guess he played in the finals of the Canadian National Finals in the mid 80's. He would be about 54 now. Anyone that knows him, and how to get a message to him, please post, and I will pm you the message to give to him.

This is something I have thought about for the last 50 years. In the beginning, and yet even now, I have thought that getting beat was an insult to my intelligence. Either that there was something I didn't know, or that the other player could be smarter than me. Refusing to accept that, I...

In every Pool room, you have silent rankings of players, the very best player(s), the ones just under them, and so on. When you frequent these rooms you begin to learn what the rankings are. And in most cases the very best players do not play each other, they usually 'play down' where the odds...

I have wondered for some time what all a tour director has to do in conducting a tour, from getting sponsors, to traveling to different sites, to the type of compensation they are paid, and by who? Let's discuss all the aspects of having a tour, and what all it entails. I am sure we have some...

I have played for 50 years, and only once did I have a JP set, and that was for a jump cue. I have not had a problem with dirt getting in the joint area at all, and so I ask are JP's just for decoration mostly? I am having a cue made in February, and can't decide if I should have JP's for it...

I played in Shooters-Wichita Seniors Tournament last weekend. It was a 32 player 8 ball tournament, race to 5 both sides. I lost my second match, and was relegated to quarter city on the 1 loss side. I managed to win my next 7 matches to get to the final. 4 of the 7 matches were against very...

I apologize ...

At the start of next year, I am having a player's cue made from Amboyna Burl (red, cored 3/4" and rock maple filled) and Desert Ironwood. I would appreciate seeing some cues that have some Desert Ironwood (brown color) in them.

Stix had a great tournament last weekend. Although they didn't get as many as hoped for, the tournament still had a lot of great players. Chip Compton, from Oklahoma City, took 1st place, and Sean King, from Midwest City, Oklahoma took 2nd place. Shane McMinn took 3rd place. Also playing were...

From what I have gathered is that most cuemakers are fairly busy making cues? I was just wondering, considering the state of our National Economy and Employment levels? So, are cuemakers thriving, sustaining, or depleted?

First, since Olive Trees grow to maturity in 15 years, is Olive wood really dense enough to use in cues? Second question is, do Ebony cues have a tendency to show up smears, smudges, or cracks in the finish coat more so than other types of wood? I had a Huebler cue that was black with red...

I am having a cue made next year, and I want Amboyna Burl to be my main wood. I talked to my cuemaker, Bob Owen, and asked him about woods that could go with Amboyna Burl. I also asked him about what he fills it with to get the proper hit. He said Rock Maple to fill it, and said he has other...
