Shooters
Anyone that is going to shooters or goes to shooters on a regular basis please pm me. I am looking to have someone take pictures of the place for me. I used to be a regular there in the late 80's early 90's when it was Mr. Cue's. I would love to have pictures of this place. Thanks

Shirley and I showed up about 8:30 PM. It was our first time there, and we arrived just in time to see the two semi final matches. Jose Parica and Efren Reyes both won their semis, then played each other in a race to four, with Efren taking the win 4-2.
They were both kind enough to pose for snapshots with Shirley. On film, so I don't have anything to post.
I haven't seen much one pocket, and only played it a few times back in the late sixties, in Norfolk. Shirley had never seen it played, and was confused at first, by all the "missed" balls. She caught on quickly, and realized that you always have to control at least two balls.
The tables were Gold Crowns, with 4 1/4" pockets. With these players, you could never leave any kind of open shot or bank, though they did reveal themselves to be human, and both missed a couple times. In all the games we saw, I think there was only one double kiss. They didn't shoot many power shots, but there were a lot of drag shots with spin. Efren seemed to make the cueball a permanent resident of the bottom rail.
We ran into Bill (3RAIL KICK), another habitue of DannyK's. I asked him to introduce us to Joey, but he had already left. Prolly had put in a long day. There were a couple geezers in attendance that disrepectfully fell asleep about the last half hour. Oh well, we had crapped out at home all day on the couch before rolling in.
