Dear Sir, I entreat my students to NOT publically show anything that is not finished and first-rate (I teach photography). Like the athlete; never give us anything but your best effort. First of all, as an artist your ideas are (presumably) unique and you should not want anybody else to mess...

Dear Sir, I tell my students NOT to put out anything that is not finished and first-rate. First of all, as an artist your ideas are (presumably) unique and you should not want anybody else to mess with them, even your girlfriend or best pool buddy. Outsiders can screw up an art project faster...

Looking for a new cue? I have been playing with McDermott cues since 1984. Recently, my G-core shaft felt a bit off; I was not sure if it was my imagination or what but I sent it back to Menomonee Falls and they said it had a very slight convection (that, for some reason I had not noticed but...

I have two suggestions: One, have your cue maker make a three piece, sneaky Pete cue, each section measuring approx 20 inches. I have such a stick that I use when traveling in South America and it fits in my carry-on bag. My stick was made by Dave Tice. Dave Jones here in Seattle can make one...

One Pocket Of course One Pocket is a wonderful game; just like chess. People who disdain it and say it is as much fun as watching paint dry usually, when queried, do not know anything about One Pocket and are simply addicted to the fast action of Nine Ball. You can see in any pool room that the...

Ciao Bob, Thank you for correcting a couple errors in my piece. Referring to pilsner and pool I guess I was thinking of lots of ads that show svelte girls holding cues with what seems to me to be some sort of sports bar scene in the background. These might just be cue-maker's ads or some other...

The Mosconi Cup, part 2 Page 2 of 2 ... For example, I know for a fact, that virtually all classical musicians have fun making music, even Glenn Gould. Look at Yo Yo Ma, arguably the most famous classical musician alive. He LOVES almost any kind of music and plays with Blue Grass, Metal...

The Mosconi Cup I would like to offer some thoughts as to why the United States is not winning Mosconi Cups. There are many reasons of course and for one person to pretend to have all the answers would be presumptuous. Of course we can win again but how? First of all, it must be acknowledged...

I just want to put in a good word for McDermott Cue warranties. In the past year I have had to return two cues and both times I was VERY happy with McDermott's response. The first was regarding a ten-year-old Sneaky Pete which I had sanded and re-stained and then sanded and painted and then...

break physics Very interesting conversation regarding (possible) cheating with the eight ball rack. I can't help but recount an interesting breaking situation I had with Jason Klatt once in Seattle a few years ago. He was beating me mercilessly (of course) 6 to 0 in a race to seven (nine ball)...

tendonitis I too am interested in this thread about billiard sports injuries. I over-practiced my tennis serve 25 years ago and ended up with a severe case of tennis elbow (couldn't even pick up a dictionary). Then recently, enthusiastic about developing a "monster break" I over-did it again...
