polishing balls
To Chalks Billiards, and all my friends who do care about apperance of there rooms and reaction of the balls.
Many thanks for coming to the defence of clean balls..
To Fast Larry,
It appears, that FL, is an expert on trickery, and not playing with clean BALLS. FL, perhaps you should try your tricks with clean balls?
As a proffesinal, this you should be able to do with ease? What if you couldn't use wax, or the room owner says use my clean balls, when you go and put on a show. I am sure, being the proffesinal that you are, you would adjust to the conditions, and put on one hell of a show, AS MOST PROFFESINALS WOULD DO and have done with clean balls and tables.
To LAURA and friends,
Ball cleaners are excepted WORLD WIDE.
Places like, Steve Mizerak has my ball cleaner in his new room in West Palm Beach Flordia, The BILLIARD CONGRESS of AMERICA [BCA],also owns my ball cleaner that they use at "ALL" of there tournaments, they have 67,000 plus members. Take the PRO-PLAYERS like, Hall, Segial, Rempe, Mathews, Reyess, Archer, DiLiberto, Strickland, Dennis, Ralph, Luait, Varner, Nat Green Searing,Kennedy, and all the rest of the pro-players DEMAND that the balls are clean.
This "DOES" improve them "running" out on you. Can you imagine hitting a ball and it not going the intended direction, because it had a film of wax or build up of dirt on it. The wax would cause the ball to "throw" when you didn't expect it. Not all bars or rooms have cleaners, as a result, we have all hit balls and seen them skid, squrit and slide when they should of went straight. The reason this happens is because of a film of dirt or build up being dirty and also a dirty table.. Think about it. [Maybe we should also, never clean the table ].
As far as only waxing one ball or any ball, I say, [BS]. Clean all the balls, so all are equal when struck. They will all react the same way every time.
The men's pro tour has excepted "clean over dirty" for years now.
My freinds I mentioned before, have been refered to, as a bunch of pro 9-ballers as if they don't know anything, or refered to as if they were trash.[B___ S___ again].
I assume that some folks have and like dirty balls, period. My question to all of you is, HOW IN THE WORLD, COULD ALL OF THE CHAMPIONS OF POOL, be so wrong. Amateure's alike expect clean balls.
Doing TRICK SHOTS, is a lot different from playing good solid pool. Trick shots do take a lot of playing and practice no doubt, but let us face it, they are set up trick shots for the most part, with the exception of a few MASSES shots.[ Not trying to take anything away from you folks who work hard at do these trick shot shows] for pool players.
Playing great position and making great shots is in fact an art of it's own. My good friend Buddy Hall has done "shows" for many years. He will not do trick shots, period. He says, they are just that, "trick" shots and that's all. When he goes to do his "SHOWS" [world wide] he plays with the pool-rooms customers and gives a clinic on how to play the right way. He teaches pool and shows whoever how to do things to improve his or her game.
DIRTY or CLEAN?????
It makes one wonder why, all of the major tournaments in the world, have ball cleaners on site for cleaning pool balls during competion. This include the US OPEN, The BCA's tournaments, The Tokyo Open, The APA tournaments, with over 217,000 member strong, Jay Helforts tournaments out of California, Rino's tournaments, Mr. Matt Braun's, $50,000.00 winner take all, Challange of Champions, [ dirty balls on TV with a nice clean table, this will never happen], 3 cushion tournaments, Clicks billiards, Barney's pool rooms, Dave and Busters, Boston Billiards, Shooters, The Night Deposit in Clarksville, Tenn., Golden 8-ball, and so on. I could name hundereds more. I have sold over 6,000 of these in the last 25 or so years. I guess my customers are wrong, they need dirty balls to make a go of it.
Can you imagine a golfer or baseball player using dirty balls? Of course this is POOL and dirty makes it ok. [B___ S___ again].
FL, may wax his cue ball for it to do certain things, [tricks], but it's a fact, that wax will attract dirt and grime. I can't imagine a pro having only one ball on the table being close to clean much less applying wax on it. He or she would look like a fool in person or on TV, for sure.
As stated before, clean balls are better than dirty balls. I guess that's why they invented [SOAP].
It all comes down to one thing, do you want to learn trick shots, or do you want to improve your pool game?
To answer a few e-mails questions,
Yes, I did sell my ball cleaning company a few weeks ago. The new owners have been trained by my wife and me. It will still be a great product for those of the pool world who care to have a great place to play, with clean balls.
[My wife is now retired and doing her thing in the garden, and God Bless her].
BY THE WAY, THE BLUDWORTH BALL CLEANER is built in TEXAS, by AMERICAN'S and made with 100% AMERICAN MADE PRODUCTS. [Nothing like to other one mentioned in an eariler thread which was made in Korea, that has no gurantee, except in KOREA].
Don't know about some of you folks, but I support AMERICA and AMERICAN's. [CHEAPER IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER].SO LONG.......
Many thanks to all who have clean table to play on, and clean balls to boot.
