I learned first time out, chalk is irrelevant on a broom stick. Played as much speed and angles (near zero) as I could. The operative premise is anybody who needs the broom will sell out.We found you could chalk the round end of a broom or mop handle. I pulled out my trusty Buck and cut a crosshatch into the handle to hold chalk even better. I don't remember if we ran any racks but we definitely ran some balls. Jumping wasn't in vogue at the time so I don't think we tried jumping with the light mops and brooms.

Maybe they played the same guy.There's that Lisciotti story he told about being on his case ball and the guy pulls a gun and starts firing past his head. Made the ball with no further trouble. And then Strickland told it. lol.
You're not wrong...when I started at a local community college back in the day, tuition was $12.50 per credit...To be fair, a semester of college was like $77 back then.![]()

I've heard of some pretty aggressive sharking techniques. But the one where you just start shooting at the guy has to be near the top. Not gonna lie... I think it would be effective against me.Never though of that.
Wonder if they ARE the same guy.![]()
I’ve run over 10,000 balls playing 14.1!Reminds me how a friend of mine told me he had beaten Arthur Ashe at tennis. Surely, this could not be true, but upon further inquiries, it turned out that my friend had beaten Arthur Ashe as a junior, when my friend was 17 and Ashe was 14. When the details are omitted, the wrong impression can be created.
Wait wut?I've heard of some pretty aggressive sharking techniques. But the one where you just start shooting at the guy has to be near the top. Not gonna lie... I think it would be effective against me.

That's good bait!“I’m just a beginner trying to get better”
That line did pay my bills for a couple years once upon a time. I said once as I needed something new to say. The “I ain’t played in xxx months”’was wore out.
This was back in the 80’s.
So when I told a guy I was a beginner (I was a B+ player at the time) and he fell for it, ok cool I made an easy game that time.
Since it worked once, I tried it again, it worked again. And again and everywhere I went it seemed to work. Even when I got a bit older it still worked.
Put it this way if pool action was still a thing and I was out there, I wouldn’t share it here. I never told anyone that line-unless I was using on them. It got me more soft action (more weight, weaker guys willing to play) it just made the guy I was playing feel good about himself. Bingo! Hustlin 101
I miss the hustle,
Fatboy<——yeah i play all the time, but im a beginner tying to just get better.
Vulnerable low hanging fruit-come get some…..they tried lol![]()
