I gave you a shot at a fantastic cue with a great story behind it and you didn't even hit a ball with before turning it down, ya nit!
Slow? Who would have ever called you slow, lol?!?!? True stroy - one time about 20 or so years ago Okie and I were playing scotch doubles 9 ball, overmatched with a little spot, and put the stall on these guys so bad I thought they were going to come flat out of their skins. It goes hill hill and I have to shoot a miracle cut into the side and we run out for the win. I've never seen two guys so happy to lose just so they could get out of the game!I gave a good holler when I rounded the table on my way to the ten! Yea...I was flying!!!
I used to play deathly slow. I videotaped a match during the BCA nationals in Vegas back in the mid 90's. When I went back to watch it my wife asked me what was wrong. I was bored beyond disbelief! I knew what was going through my head on the inside but from the outside I just looked like I was on the stall. Since then I have tried to improve my pace. I really think slow play kills the rhythm and you need it to play top speed!
wait for it....
here it comes....
but what the hell do I know...I am not an instructor!!
I couldn't resist! And am totally joking. Our recognized instructors...no wait...certified....no credentialed...crap! Those folks who we all know are experts have a LOT to teach us all! It does appear they have a bit to learn as well...just not so much about pool. Maybe JoeW could put on a seminar at DCC!
Thanks for the accolades, everyone!

Hmmm... yep, sounds familiar.
All kidding aside, that's a real nice run for ya, Ken. Here's hoping there's lots more of on the horizon. We definitely need to come out to your place in the near future.

I think your offer came after the loss of my job....aka I decided to go a different route on the new cue quest
I am in love with the design that won the OB design contest though. Ebony Blood.
If it hits anything like my OB1 shaft then it will be an awesome cue!
I don't think we put the stall on as much as we were stuck in a stall by the way we played! We were both too slow. It sucks to suck! lol
We won a match?
Thanks for the comments Tom! The door is always open at my place. TB should be dropping by in the near future. I will let you know and maybe we can have a sit down then!

Well done! Wow, that 4-ball! OOOf, nailbiter there. Congrats.
That was strong! You played that very, very well... congratulations.
Rack boy my foot! You need to get out and play with us more...at least some!
Tourney tonight you could play in!
Thanks Robert!

I have noticed myself doing the knee thing lately. Not sure why...I have very dry hands. Maybe I am wiping chalk or something off. Or maybe I have a new twitch!
Going to Disney World! oh wait...nope. Like I told my wife who wanted to spend some towards misc expenses...I am reinvesting it in myself! I have a LONG way to go!
Thanks Joey!
Thank you!
Yes it was!!
Thanks!
Ken
I responded earlier but just now had a chance to watch it.
I'm pretty impressed. That break out on the 2 ball was tough and you showed quite a bit of knowledge on that shot. I was thinking you were going to have to use a bit of right hand and come straight down at the 2. Nope, you knew you had a couple of inches to spare and you could go two rails and out into the cluster. Very nice shot there. I bet that change in angle made all the difference in the world. Had you gone 1 rail who knows if you would have even gotten a shot on the 2. Good decision and great out!!!
