Thank you. I was not too happy with my DIY version but I think I’ll spend the $25 at harbor freight. It looks like the buffer on top will help cause the balls oscillate more than they have been. If this works out I’ll be happy to save the $500 or so I was considering spending.

Has this started? I can’t get it to Play.

Slivka Not that this is really important but he spells his own name Jerry on his facebook profile. He did move to Mississippi and has a family and he does work a real job these days. Sadly, I’ll probably have to get a real job soon too.

Billy and I were talking about poker once and he told me that he’s folded over 70 times in a row before. I don’t have that kind of patience. I figured I’d better not play him any one pocket. He might’ve played safe 70 times in a row too if necessary.

To the point of what to teach players, the most important things are that they have a stroke that is straight and that their wrist is straight, not curled in. After that there’s a lot of different techniques that will work. Here’s a link for Fedor Gorst vs Joshua Filler. 2 of the games top...

Thanks guys for mentioning me in a thread other than “the ugliest stroke in pool”. I usually place first or 2nd in those. Several good points were made in this thread like the improved techniques of the new generation of Filipino players and how most snooker players look quite similar. That...

Sign me up please. Definitely a Ronnie fan.

I'm not particularly concerned about looks. I just know I tried one in the past and it hit good.

Shot clock Pool absolutely does need a shot clock. There's no way Dennis or his backers would agree to switch it up and start using one tonight though. If pool is ever going to become a popular mainstream sport like we all hope we will need a shot clock. 30 seconds max for rotation games...

New cue Does anyone know exactly when Dennis switched to the new meucci cue? If it was particularly recent that would explain some of the very uncharacteristic mistakes he made those first two days.

Dennis does certainly slow play people on purpose to get them irritated and out of rhythm. I expect him to do so even worse tonight .

Start time for the next round?

Yeah it's a great event. It's going to be in the fall this year though instead of April so we've got a while to wait unfortunately.

For anyone else who might be interested brass tap billiards has tournaments Monday, Thursday, and Friday. All handicapped 9 ball. They host big events several times throughout the year as well.

It varies occasionally at the other rooms depending on leagues or other events but it's usually Friday night 8 ball at breaktime and bucks is having tournaments I believe Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday now. Also this weekend at brass tap is the state 9 ball championship. $75 entry races to...

That's a good one that I hadn't heard before. Knowing him though it's not at all surprising that he not only was serious but he won the game. Thanks for sharing the story.

Many of the best stories ive ever heard were about Scotty. If you have any please feel free to share them here for everyone.

Great tournament. Run by good people. Always gets a great turn out and 100% payback of all entry fees.

I saw Billy Palmer a couple years ago but I'm told he doesn't play much anymore. I was told diabetic issues (eye sight?) had hurt his game. I saw him play some great one pocket to beat Scott Frost in the finals of a tournament about 10-12 years ago.

I used to see him occasionally at the flamingo in St Petersburg Florida a couple years ago.
