    Sold Rick Howard 6 Pointer w/ 4 Shafts

    This is an earlier Rick Howard with signature on the forearm, circa 1992. Beautiful ebony and maple with 6 sharp points and blue wooden inlays. He really did an outstanding job on the wrap- it's difficult to even feel the seam. The cue is in excellent shape, especially for its age with just a...

    Pros today vs the pros yesterday

    Yes. What's your point? He's one player, and the fact that he made that run doesn't convince me he would necessarily do any better than 14.1 champions from previous eras over time. If you think the abillity to run a lot of balls at one time translates into success in a 14.1 tournament format...

    Pros today vs the pros yesterday

    Another exception would be the game of 14.1, where I think the stronger players of that game unquestionably were of previous eras. Of course it might be because that was the game of choice back then, but there are very few exceptions if any to that rule. Thorsten might be the only player I think...

    same... I walked in there one random night and about 10+ champions were hanging out, some in action, others just chatting. Chang started practicing on the table next to me 😳

    Old match

    Cool post. Pockets was my first "home room" as well, up until the time it closed recently, though by that time I'd relocated to the Detroit area. And I remember Nathan as well, who was around a bit towards the end- and of course played pretty strong but nothing like he did back in the 90s. I...

    Is Schmidt's and charlie 626 Legit

    I didn't speak on his character at all. And I don't know if the analogy carries weight here since there's always a way to watch that game somewhere if you wanted. Or the highlights. If I tell you I ate 200 hotdogs in a sitting without providing evidence you would have reason to doubt. Would...

    Is Schmidt's and charlie 626 Legit

    Yeah I personally think it's a hoax but, of course it's all speculation. for the record, John saw me mention this somewhere else and actually blocked me personally after leaving a silly PM complaining about being a troll. Not the case- I just never saw any proof so why on earth would any...

    Favorite player and least favorite player?

    Favorites are Sigel, Crane, Ouschan (present day). I think D. Hatch has a poor public persona and is often rude but I like his game anyway.

    Ambidextrous Shooting

    There's a player out of Lasing, MI who can play either hand. Larry (won't reveal last name)..has run 150 numerous times left and right handed. Somewhat of a freak. Actually he recommends practicing for a month straight exclusively with whichever hand you're working on.

    Vincitore dura nylon cases - Better than JB?

    Have been seeing some of these on eBay and will have to say, they piqued my interest. Seem to be made of a very durable nylon and stitching, similar to competitors but at $118 the price tag is about 50% less than them. How can you go wrong? I myself haven't owned one but know someone that has...

    The institution of Chess makes it an unwelcoming possibility for women to even start in. That's why there's such a disparity. Women are just as smart as men
