Hank Dietle’s Tavern in North Bethesda, Maryland, burned on Valentin’s day, last Wednesday. It did not “burn to the ground” as YouTube says. I was there early this afternoon to shot some pool. The clean-up crew said Dietle’s would be back in business. I’ll take some photos the next time I am up...

Why not contact the maker, John Barton of JB Cases? Use google and look up his website. Dave

Your persona is certainly wrapped up in your signature—and your user name. There is nothing courteous or pleasant there, in either one. Best regards, Dave

Thanks, much appreciated! Dave

Please define: 1. A "legal" foul, and give an example. 2. An "un-legal" foul and give an example. Thank, Dave

One comes to mind because I have one. SCHMELKE. Mine is an M-Series SHEDUA wood; no inlays, no points, and no rings. What some call a Merry Widow. http://schmelkecue.com/billiard-cues...-m-series.html Everything (equiptment, that is; cue technique is up to you) needed to play well can be had...

I appreciate the clarity of Bob Jewett and Jay Helfert; both of whom have been there and done that. And said with excellent grammar, too. (For the uninitiated, both are writers.) Thanks! Dave

You are correct and I am a day a late and incorrect! http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2694311-mlb-reportedly-approves-changes-to-intentional-walk-rule Another great tactic bites the dust all for speeding up the game for the Sesame Sreet generations who must have ACTION, NOW! I might take up...

I googled, I found; http://www.aristocratbilliards.com.au/tables/T8-billiard-table.htm But not the manufacturer! Closer. http://cmj.arcade-museum.com/Coin-Machine-Journal-1933-07/Coin-Machine-Journal-1933-07-085.pdf Dave

Because the posting has not been on topic specifically, I post comments relative to MLB. In Major League Baseball the intentional walk gives the base runner four chances to steal a base—or more! So there there are two valid reason for making the pitcher pitch those four pitches: 1. The...

I'm 75 (and will be 76 in about a month) and have been taking TAMSULOSIN for years. And I don't have to get up in the night; but I only get about five–six hours of sleep a night. Tell your MD you need it! PRONTO! .

If you feel you must have leather then use the Yellow Pager and look under; Upholstery; Remnants. And use the phone to ask about leather. Some upholsters do leather upholstery, others do not. Dave

Dr_Dave's data on pool table dimension and room sizes When in doubt, I always consult Dr_Dave; http://billiards.colostate.edu/threads/table.html#size Much to think over. Happy linking, Dave (not that one)

Regarding post # 146 by pro9dg (his username) Thanks for posting. What a lot of great stories that we want to see and hear. Yes, Blatts; I could spend weeks there. And every other topic that you mentioned sounds interesting. Thanks for a great four shows and I hope to see more like them. One...

That was exactly my take on Ronnie. Thanks for the extended notes! Dave

Grab a copy of the FEBRUARY 2017 issue of Billiards Digest. Bob Jewett shows you what to look for when someone else racks the balls. Being educated in Racking Manipulation does not necessarily mean cheating; it can mean prevention. Dave

It may be that the most useful place for using plastic racks is when the table and ball conditions are at their worst. Dave

Thanks for posting so quickly! I knew we would hear from you about the show. I hope you will, at sometime tell us more. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Dave
