Back in the day, we used to play "two-shot rollout". When my opponent pushed and left me a seemingly impossible shot, I would say, "Damn, this is my favorite shot. I stayed up all night once trying to miss this shot...I missed it right before breakfast." If I then actually made the shot, which...

For 9-ball or 10-ball rotation games, I would go back to "two-shot rollout" rules and get rid of one-foul ball in hand. I would make those games winner break. I would ban jump cues.

When pro bowlers bowl, do they look at the pins or their target spot on the lane when delivering the ball? If you have looked at and analyed the shot and angle before getting down, have lined up properly, and have good, repeatable fundamentals and a straight stroke, it shouldn't matter much...

I would love to get some GOOD LePro tips like I used for decades before they somehow changed. The ones I have tried in the last decade, or so, don't compare to the ones made years ago.

I grew up working in a pool hall and have played for decades. I have never ONCE publically "celebrated" winning in an outlandish manner, even having won uncountable money matches, tournaments, etc. I have never ONCE slammed my cue, or anything else, when things weren't going my way or when I...

I was going to say a Meucci, too.

One of the first five cues Murray Tucker ever made.

Dennis Searing shaft on my Murray Tucker sneaky pete butt.

Can you set up a 7' Valley with 8" pockets for me? I'm ready for a run! LMFAO!

Earl's cue is around 24 ounces with the 12" extension on it. The tennis wrap and tape may make it a bit heavier. The 58" cue, without all the gizmos, is around 18 ounces.

Maybe SVB should try a run on one.

Since there seems to be no standard, what is the record run on a 7' Valley?

What .mm is your tip.

Do you mostly use a open bridge? I always use a tight closed bridge unless I am stretched out or I am in a position where I can't use one. The pro taper is best for my bridge. I also always buy 13mm, or larger shafts. My new Gulyassy will be 14mm and my cue has a .860 joint, which is larger...

Earl's Gulyassy cue is 58".

I have one of his rotisserie ovens. Had it many years and it still works good. Hit the Jackpot with it.

Were you forced to read them?

14mm shafts and tips ride smooth...like a luxury car. I was playing with one last Sunday. I took three cues to the pool hall: a C-14 McDermott with a 14mm shaft; a Murray Tucker butt with a Dennis Searing 12.4mm shaft; and a Becue carbon cue with a 12mm shaft. The McDermott was the smoothest...

Somebody should have stuffed a sock in the mouth of the lady who was screeching.

He is playing with a Mike Gulyassy cue and a Gulyassy solid maple 14mm shaft with a 14mm tip and a black phenolic ferrule. I think he is still using an Elkmaster tip. I will ask Mike when I talk to him again. Mike is currently making another backup shaft for Earl and mine is in the process...
