Anyone have any experience with or knowledge of Dakota pool cues? I've always liked stacked leather wraps. http://www.cuesight.com/pool-cues/dakota/walnut-finish-with-tan-leather-stack-wrap/

I am posting this for the cue's owner, Alf Taylor. Eddie Taylor is recognized as the best bank pool player ever. 37 straight banks. Danny Janes made this Joss for him, for his Hall of Fame induction in 95. Eddie was my best friend and road mate. Ebony, silver, ivory and Lapis Lazule. Butt...

Earlier today i got an email from a film maker in the Philippines who is making a documentary on Efren Reyes. She asked if she could use some images of Efren from some galleries I have on the Smugmug Website. Of course, I said yes and wished her luck on the film. As I was sorting through some of...

Please disregard this post. It was made by an idiot. (me)

They will be using a photo I took of Jimmy Reid back in the 1980s in promoting the U.S. 9-Ball Open. I was happy to allow them to use it for a great tournament that, sadly, I have never attended. Anyone going to attend this year?

The year I should have been a college senior I laid out of school and played pool. All night, every night I was at Cotton Bowling Palace in Dallas, TX. Never a very good player, I returned to college and eventually became a college professor. During my year at Cotton Palace, I associated with...

Eddie Taylor was inducted into the HOF in 94, as the one of the greatest players to ever pick up a cue. This Joss cue was made for his induction by Dan Janes. It is ebony, inlaid with Lapis Lazule, silver and ivory. On the butt is the inscription Eddie Taylor 1995. The case is Jack Justis...

Does anyone know or remember when the DCC moved from the Executive Inn West to the Horseshoe Casino? Thanks in advance for your help.

In another thread, there was a long debate over whether Mosconi, on occasion, used a slip stroke. Without going into the somewhat tedious hair-splitting about the definition of a slip stroke, for me, it entails sliding your hand toward the butt of the cue during the final backstroke. When I...

I was trying to register a friend for the DCC banks and as I proceeded through the process, I never saw any option to put in a name other than my own. Any suggestions?

I saw a comment about this site on another forum. It's pretty neat - lots of photos and interesting stories. http://www.thehypertexts.com/Famous%20Pool%20Sharks.htm

Jimmy Moore on the left, next to him it looks like Luther Lassiter, then an unknown person, then Willie Mosconi, and U. J. Puckett on the right. Who is the guy in the middle?

Anyone have a nice pool-related photo for my contest? You should be the owner of the photo so that there's no problems with stealing someone else's image. See my original thread for more details: http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=333328

I want to thank Mary Kenniston (nightmare on this forum) for her comments on photos in our galleries of old pool pics. Over the past few days, Mary has made about EIGHTY comments on photos from several pool tournaments. Her comments have identified heretofore unknown people in the images, both...

I’ve been thinking about a little contest I’d like to have here on AZ. It would target those of you who may have some old photos that are pool-related. If you have a photo (or slide or negative) that shows something of interest or historical value and is pool-related, send it along to me at...

I'm sure that many long-time members of AZ Billiards are familiar with my photo hosting Website containing several hundred images of pool tournaments in the 1980s. The site (Smugmug.com) was recently "remodeled" and I had to spend a few days getting the images reorganized. I like the new design...

Were there any One Pocket tournament matches played on one of the 10 foot tables when the table was in the TV table area with the match on PPV.?

Alf asked me to post this link for him: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVD2CS2DBsg :smile:

In the November, 2012 issue of Billiards Digest, the noted pool writer George Fels reviewed several DVDs and books. Fels mentioned that there had been “a spate of self-published, first-person accounts of players’ hustling days.” After mentioning a couple of such books, Mr. Fels goes on to say...

A couple of weeks back Alf was waiting on a customer in his Moroccan rug store and learned that the customer was Woody Spring. Woody was a test pilot, astronaut, and highly decorated military man. Alf gave him a copy of his book and just today Alf sent me Woody's reaction to the read. Here's the...
