I could have mentioned up front that the neuro ran upper body nerve conduction tests, which were abnormal. So there is a strong diagnosis based on the correct test. There is a surgical option. Trying to keep it simple here is a challenge.

Many thanks, ChopDoc.

Wow. Nobody's complaining about anything. I simply asked if anyone had encountered a repetitive stress injury from playing pool. That's a yes or no question.

A friend went to see his neurologist due to pains in his arms. After eliminating other possible causes, the doc told him it must be repetitive stress injury from playing pool--and that he needs to quit. Years and years of heavy play, I could understand, but I can't believe this as my pal is 82...

Ain't that the truth.

One of the things Efren did in that last stretch was shooting off the rail with a lot of English, and we all know what happens when you jack up and apply serious English. Sometimes Earl missed and left him on the rail, sometimes Efren rolled it to the rail, but he played off the rail and...

Jerry is at DCC again?

I know they want you to stay at the Rio, but can anyone tell me what admission tickets to the matches cost? Can't find it anywhere. Or is it part of the Rio package? Thanks.

Intermediate players constantly struggling to up your game, do you ever try something new, maybe you saw a YouTube video on grip. aiming, stance or whatever, or maybe something just occured to you to change with your fundamentals, etc., and you try it out it seems like the answer to your dreams...

Also Ronnie Allen (no relation to the great RA) was up there with Michaels and Aguero. Tobias Ragossnig came over from Austria for the sole purpose of playing top players and becoming an elite pro. Never got there but he had a great game. Nice guy, too.

Right. Any article in Playboy was a much the product of an editor as it was the writer. The editor would have steered the piece to a non-billiard readership.

Last time I was in there was to watch a tournament, no idea which one. Efren and Rodney were playing chess between matches on a card table set up outside the Men's Room. Dennis Orcollo won it. One of the best local/regional players who showed up at Family was Han Chung. Great room.

No, but I must have had one, because I was there for some of them. Awesome events, twice a year.

Thank you.

I have an older Schmelke weighing a bit over 19 oz. that I would like to reduce by 1/2 oz to 3/4 oz. The butt is one-piece solid bocote and there is no weight bolt. I'm wondering if it's practical to drill up into the butt to reduce the weight by removing some wood. I'd do some tests on another...

Movement, however miniscule. Movement of your head, your eyes, hands, body--or most important, your brain. That said, following through properly and staying riveted to see the actual contact with the OB... those cure all kinds of lesser problems IMO.

Don't disagree with you, but he left me a number of cues that I treasure. Great guy.

Thanks very much. It didn't appear out of nowhere but was left to me by a close pool buddy who passed away. I know a fair amount about cues and have a few. I just don't use this one and am thinking I might as well sell it.

Can anyone tell me what model this Meucci is and what would be a fair price to sell it for? Butt is pristine, long-ferrule shaft is chalk-stained but smooth. Thanks very much.

Not sure if this is right, but I take it to mean a cue with no points or decoration in the butt sleeve or forearm, handle can be wrapped or wrapless. Does an unadorned, one-piece butt qualify as a Merry Widow? Can anyone tell me where the term Merry Widow comes from? Thx
