    Francisco has always been one of my favorite players of all time. Tremendous firepower and heart.

    Draw for show, follow for the dough?

    I agree. I feel the slower cloth was conducive to using draw because it made it easier to gauge cue ball speed. With the new, super slick, more frictionless felt, precise draw is very difficult to control because the cue ball slides a great deal more before the draw takes effect. Back then...

    McDaniel Cue

    Leonardo Andam dead at 55

    I had no idea and was just wondering whatever happened to him. So very tragic. I wish all his family and friends the very best. Boy, could that man play. Exquisite cue ball control and a jeweler's touch. Such a smooth player. Makes me very sad to hear this.

    Grady Mathews video

    I sure do miss Grady. Man, what a treat listening to Grady and Billy in the booth together. They'd start arguing and Grady would be teasing Billy about being a lock artist. Hilarious. Grady would always refer to Billy as "Cardone." Add Buddy to the mix, and pretty soon the storytelling and...

    New Here? - Introduce Yourself

    Hi people. I'm from Hawaii, hence my moniker "islandboy." I learned to play at "Guys & Dolls," in Shreveport, LA. Love to play, but have always taken multi-year breaks from the game. Just starting to hit balls again and it sure feels good. What a great game we have.
