Jam, I am 70. Have been playing pool forever. Of course I have heard of Louie, but I doubt that I a have a single friend who has ever heard of the guy. He is the very definition of obscure. When I said that 99% of people never heard of him I was being nice. Probably 99.9%. So unless you are...

My first cue was a Palmer, custom made in 1975, 59" long, 21 ounces. It is still my favorite playing cue 49 years later. Tried many cues but keep on going back... I paid $150

I mean no disrespect here but just how are you going to capture the interest of the general public with Louie Roberts? 99% of the people in the world have never heard of him. It is hard to find anyone who cares about obscure pool players.

Le Pro. I have been using them forever.

Shaw shoots so straight that sometimes I wonder how he ever loses. Super talent, maybe a bit of an underachiever, tournament wise. But his ability to run balls is incredible.

at least we have moved on from John Schmidt.

I know a guy who used to run College Billiards in San Deigo. He told me that every day when he opened the doors would be a smiling Ismael Paez with his personal set of balls. Probably 30 years ago.

can he play?

Holy shit.

Personally, I don`t believe Schmidt ran 626. All we have is his word, which is selling at a discount these days.

That is quite the monitoring program that lets you out at night to go to bars.

It looks like birdshot!

At first I thought were referring to the guy in the pink frilly capri pants.

What the pros do differently They don`t miss nearly as much

It looks good to me.

What happens when driving home after playing?

Percocets help a lot

It seems like Mizerek should get mentioned here. He was the best straight pool player in the world in the 70`s, winning BCA Opens and World Championships. No one was lining up to gamble with the Miz playing straight.

I don`t like jump cues, they take a lot away from the game. Someone plays a great safe only to have his opponent gimmick his way out of it. As far as I am concerned that is what jump cues are, a gimmick. The kicking game is one of the most interesting parts of 9 and 10 ball. I have watched very...

The way you put this, it sounds like you are saying Parica had a little dog in him. No freaking way! Parica was one of the greatest money players that ever loved. I am not saying he was better than Efren but there was no dog in Parica.
