    3 Cues - Questions for {{YOU}}

    Your Requirements Gulyassey makes cues that generally have a soft hit but be aware that your perception of the hit is greatly affected by the type of tip you use. Try an elk master on a Gulyassey cue and I think you will understand. I have owned over 200 cues in my day and I've only found half...

    Which player from the past(or even present) do you wish there was more footage of?

    Denny Searcy I've never seen ANY footage of Danny Searcy. Several years ago I posted, here on the forum, trying to find some but had no luck. I also called a couple guys that knew him well, Harry Panos and George Dowdy, but they didn't know of anything available. What a shame, his stroke tempo...

    Bonus Ball...Revisited--AGAIN !

    The current crop of Europeans didn't grow up with the lore of the sharp hustler that we Americans labor under. Their experience makes them more amenable to team play. If bonus ball does nothing else, perhaps it will succeed in bringing our players closer together. And that may be just what the...

    Cue Maker?

    Knockoff. To paraphrase Queen I guess we're not still waiting for the hammer to fall.

    Omega DPK or Kersenbrock?

    it would be nice to see some pictures. However, it sounds like you've just written your own ad. The bottom line is, if it is a DPK, then it's worth more than an Omega. The Omega Q company was a collaboration and therefore its cues don't have the same gravitas as pure DPK's.

    (Spin the ball go broke PETER RABBIT!

    Thanks for the kind words Mr. KoolKat. My best regards to the PinkLady while I'm at it. You're the one that should write a book anyway, something called "The brave tales of a neo-Ulysses". And as far as your cooking goes, CJ really dogged this one.

    (Spin the ball go broke PETER RABBIT!

    Unfortunately, he died of brain cancer in October 2005. You should read his book "How to get by without working", if you can find it. It's short but interesting. Please note, however, that it is not called "How to get rich without working", just how to "get by".

    2013 Mosconi Cup: One for the ages

    Actually Matt, you're the best (at least as a person), a good friend, good player and a hell of an all-around super guy. Ah well, I guess I'll try to come in next week and let you beat on me some more but you know me and my pocket is not shallow, I do like to gamble. My best to you and your...

    2013 Mosconi Cup: One for the ages

    Matt, Matt, Matt, you and I both know that if I picked up a cue for about 20 minutes in the next couple weeks I could send you home crying to the PinkLady. You really can't even spell one hole. Perhaps we'll play again next week and I'll drive my junk car so you won't be so starstruck and hey...

    2013 Mosconi Cup: One for the ages

    Johnny, You don't know me and probably don't want to but I have good friends that know you including the irrepressible "fat Albert". I've always admired your game and your tenacity. I also used to back Earl in his darkest days; profit margin was a little thin. I'm really a half assed player but...

    Earl Strickland - Great Player OR the Greatest Player?

    Years ago, when Earl was preparing to go to the Maine event straight pool tournament I played practice dummy and designated rack boy. As far as strategy goes and the "proper" way to play the game, Earl was lost. He merely unloaded sheer firepower and ran 120+ balls in a way that would make most...

    Very very nice page AZB of Turninng Stone Live Coverage <<<<<<<<<<

    Bravo! Well said. Jerry Forsyth and Pat Fleming both deserve our thanks. And even though it's true that I once lived in Forsythe County and I used to fantasize, as a kid, about Peggy Fleming, I'm not a relative of either. As we all know, Pat received well-deserved admission into the Billiard...
