kinda rough!

I've learned more from Dave than from anybody else, and am learning from him to this day. His website: Billiards and Pool Principles, Techniques, Resources (AKA Dr. Dave's Multimedia Poolopedia) is easily the only pool/billiards information resource in its class for size or quality, and it continues to grow both ways. [One word, Dave: back ups.]

Add to that his growing schedule of instructional events and commercial products and his "retirement" is sounding more busy, not less - lucky us!

AzB Hall of Famer, if ever there was one.

Thanks, Dave.

I could be mistaken but I don't think dave is in a rush to be in the AZB hall of fame.

This thread is a tribute to Dave for all he is as does,
but at the same time it is an example of what this forum could be
if we put ourselves out to praise,compliment and lift up our fella man

Is there an AzB Hall of Fame?

pj <- thought I made it up

I thought he made it up also. Regardless, being retired, I am certainly in no rush to get anywhere. However, to be clear, I retired from my "day job" (university professor), but I have not retired from my passion for pool. I plan to continue to work hard on my pool stuff for a long time to come.

Regards,
Dave

for all you have done to make Az a fun place
rather a place where at least one person makes helpful comments, and provides
wonderful video instruction available


I have played pool 65 years with some of the greatest players to ever play and never really got any good,I never even heard of the things you descibe and demonstrate on here regularly

I am in awe of the things you regularly make available

Thank you for all you do,I have never seen anything like this
Dean
Couldn't agree with you more Dean. Well said and deserved. Thanks Dr. Dave!

I don't want to steal any of Dave's thunder, so here's just a tip o' the hat to my other personal "pool scientist" heroes, Bob Jewett, Mike Page and Ron Shepard.

Mike and Ron don't post as much as they used to (haven't heard from Ron since RSB days), but along with Bob and Dave they're still the Four Tops of pool science in my book.

Thanks to you guys too,

Ditto! They were the true pool physics pioneers (along with Coriolis, the original pool physics pioneer). I have certainly learned a lot from them over the years.

I don't know if I found AZB first or Dave at colostate.edu about 10 years ago.

I started reading a lot from Dave's site, helped a lot. Incredible information. I hadn't bought a book in decades. Happened to come across his in a store, and bought The Illustrated Principals of Pool and Billiards.

Knowing Dave's math background, it's pool turned into math. And math is an exact science for most practicable purposes.

It's great stuff. When you want the final word on why, how or what happened, Dr Dave has the answer.

Thank You
