    No More Complaining!!!

    One of these days, and it will probably be sooner than later, this player will come up to you and say something like - 'Uh could I borrow 100. till I make a score?' Just stare at him a few seconds then say - Sure you can. Who the fukc is stopping you? Then just walk away.............

    Shanes Interview

    Well twenty three is still young. If he were 33 or 43 and talking like that, I would be thinking of him very differently.

    Earl Strickland/John Schmidt altercation at BCA

    I remember when they would pound those balls and later on the indentions were so bad that balls would come to a stop arround the rack area the balls would nearly make a u-turn as they slowed to a stop.....

    Since Jam was nice enough to ask

    That has to be just a partial list. I went to the Columbia, SC tourny in 03 or 04 when he had the 14.1 and one pocket back to back. During the windup of the event Grady said to make plans to come back next year, so I did, but like so many times before, it did not prevail. I always wondered...

    How long does it take to get accustats orders?

    Yes, you should absolutely follow this advice. I have ordered items this way from Pat at least ten times and I think the longest wait ever was 5 to 6 days....

    Grady Mathews has a BLOG!

    Backpocket 9ball is played by running out all of the balls just like in nine ball except you play the nine in an upper corner up where you break the balls from, right? So if Grady won a set of this for five would he just walk out the door with nothing or shoot a set of nine ball to win a...

    Scotty Townsend Rumor

    That's right. There is a popular train trestle over a section of Hartwell Lake near my home that is about 150 ft. Many kids go off of it. Some get hurt. Some don't. Many talk about wearing different types of shoes that often split, just like you said. I went off at the half way point with...

    who has the hardest break?

    I agree. Each time I break I know that I am capable of hitting them much harder, but I feel that control start to slip away. Who wants to make two or three and then see that cue bounce on the floor. What a horrible feeling what with the Texas Express rules. Its such a penalty. While on the...

    Problem with my Draw/Mechanics

    Right you are, Bob. And remember to shoot with a relaxed arm, as well as all the rest of your muscles too. I played a lot of pool before I actually learned to keep all the muscles, including all those in your legs and hips etc etc very relaxed thru out the entire shot. You have to do this or...

    Stories behind nicknames

    Archer wore the scorpion in 1990 in the finals of the US Open. He was runnerup to Nick V. of course. Grady and Vickie Frechen talked about it in the match when Johnny beat Nick earlier in that tournament. Now that I think about it, Vickie had just married and was then called Vickie Paski...

    Unbelievable luck just before expo (very long)

    Sorry about your trouble. I've done the same thing before for about the same amount, as a matter of fact. By the way that fellow must have been Scott Rabon, a pretty good player. He just keeps playing and slowly improving over the last twenty years. I think that he also got into moving...

    Pool playing in America is a waste

    At a point in my life I started to practice seriously, force myself to compete, and do drills. I spent some money on tapes and a good cue and made some big advances in my skills at nine ball. I also seemed to make less money the more I improved so I quit and got into another non pool related...

    Jack Cooney: Any stories?

    Goin South Jack and Barbara came through this southeast spot in the 70s. The trouble is that James Christopher came by followed by Weldon Rogers and emptied all the loose suckers money. Jack ended up playing a lot of lowball and hardly any pool at all. If anyone doesn't know, lowball is just...

    Guess how to make this shot.....

    I can make it by banking it in the side and letting it hit the titty and shoot straight back down in the correct corner pocket. I do it one handed for the dough. Just need 278 tries...

    MY Road Story.....

    Some law was passed in SC making the machines legal if they had flippers. So they stick these two little flippers on the bingo type pinballs. I really could hardly believe it. People reaching arround and trying to flip the ball over to the other side. They were on the fourth row. Some...

    MY Road Story.....

    Yea, that avatar is the best, Smorg. I can't believe that I have been reading Joey and Smorg for years here and rsp and didn't even realize that they were silver ball wizards. When I was a kid I was alone and went to a slum type gas station that sold everything. I mean everything. Porn...
