    Fractional Aiming/Cue Ball

    Spent a lot of time at LeCue in the 60’s. Played a lot of golf on the snooker table with Red Perry and others. Around midnight I’d go from LeCue to Parker’s on Washington Avenue.

    Johnny Archer

    Last pocket eight. The rest are just bar pool on larger tables. Archer needs to hang it up. He has the charisma of a piece of Tweeten chalk.

    High Tech Version of Pool

    Topgolf is a joke. It’s a bar with a halfassed driving range. Once was enough. I’ve played in school and college and wouldn’t let my kids go anywhere near this amusement park.

    Pool jerseys are bad, but also not good

    He had on a pair of khaki slacks in a recent tournament. They were about 12’ too long for him. Hung over his shoes. I don’t think he looks in the mirror before he leaves for a tournament. He needs to find a tailor.

    Pool jerseys are bad, but also not good

    Tony is the worst dresser on tour. They need to wear collared golf shirts tucked in. They look like clowns.

    Great quote that lots of players need to read in an effort to speed up the game.

    I’ve been putting with the quiet eye for 3 years. I’m trying to determine it application in pool. If you used it literally in pool you would look at the back of the cue ball last but that sounds counterintuitive in pool where I want to look at the object ball last.

    Great quote that lots of players need to read in an effort to speed up the game.
