Ask your self this same question, why does not Mike Massey, Tom Rossman, Charles Darling, Stefano Pelinga do that also. Answer, they are making 4 times what these people are and don't have time for 9 ball. 9 ball is not their sport and game, artistic is, they have their own tour and events now. Ask your self why does not Steve Davis, Jimmy White and Stephen Hendry come over from England and play in these events, answer, they are making 15 times more money than these guys and don't have time to, 9 ball is not their game, snooker is, they have their own tour and events. Why does not Culemans, Bloomdahl, Sayginer, come over and play in the us open, answer, they don't play 9 ball, that is not their game, billiards is, they have their own tour and events. 9 ball is not the only game around cue ball. You may only be aware of it, but there are other games. There are other tours, there are other world championships.

One more question, cut and paste where Larry ever said he was great, you said that, he never said that. Others say that about him, Larry never does say that about him self.
 
Bopper I unerstand what you are saying, but the players that you have named have tryed 9ball. I have never seen larry in the Trick shot magic magic in baltimore and its been going on for a few years now. I would like to see what he has won in the past 5 years or so and under what players were in the tournamnet. I dont want any beef with larry I just would like to know what he has won to back up all the things that he has said.

This was answered in great detail in the previous page. That was the complaint issued on you. You keep asking the same question over and over even when it is answered. Maybe that is why FL calls you dumb. Maybe if you accept simple answers and move on he will quit calling you dumb. The guy could not play on trick shot magic because he was crippled and retired from the game during the last 4 years, do you get that now? He was medically permantly disabled, he could barely walk. Most of his records occured during the early to mid 90's. He has not played any body in the last 4 years that I know of. I do hear he is going back out on tour next month so that is about to change.

He has posted his entire history on the chat site www.billiards-pool.net, go in and at the top open the tutorial sections. All of your questions are answered there, it is a small book. You want to know, go read it, I have and I know. Go read it, then get off the guy's back OK. We are all sick of you stalking and ragging him on ever post, do something different, we are all bored with this sick act of whatever you think you are doing here. If you want to rag the guy if you do read this and I know you will not, take it off of this board. Take it to him personally. We are tired of seeing this, give it a rest.
 
No dummy here. I did not know he was hurt, and to tell the truth I dont care. I just think he talks alot of noise for just being a trick shot player, after all who he cares about trick shots? I think you have it all wrong about me I dont bash larry infact i have not written a word about him for about 2 weeks but i see in a few of his post my name was said. I dont have time for old man"s games ive seen people like him in my lifetime They win a few things here and there and then all of the sudden they think they are god! I"ve said this before and i"ll say it again I dont like or seek out trouble, Larry just has a problem with people who have diffrent opinions.

You don't like trick shots, I don't waste my time playing in 9 ball events, learn dude to agree to dis agree, different strokes for different folks. You do your thing, let me do mine OK> You are on every one of my posts with a negative dig or insult. I have never done that to you, but your only posts are on me. No, I am not God, just a good teacher and showman, nothing more, nothing any less. I have a disabled license plate, the doctors wrote me a full medical total disability. I am playing now in great pain under tremendous handicaps. I am now giving the field the 4-5-6-7-8 and the snap. I am going back into tour competition not because I want to but because people like you are forceing me to. When do I get to retire, when I am 90 friggen years old? How about you and I just let this thing ride. You had your stay, you threw she yet on me for months, everyone saw what you wrote. Some bought it, some did not. To keep repeating the same attacks over and over says you are a demented stalker and this is becoming nothing but a harrasment. Move on man, do something positive, none of this you are doing towards me is positive.

How about this, stay off my posts, dont come in on me every time I post, then you and I have no problems any more. Can you do that. Is that possible. If you are correct, you seek no trouble, then stop seeking trouble by trashing every word I write. There is this thing dude in this country called freedom of speech, are you aware of it?

May God bless and peace be with you. May the wind be always on your back and all 9 balls fall. VENI VIDI VICI, OMNIA VINCIT AMOR. Latin for “I came, I saw, I conquered, love conquerors all. Yes I really did do it all and you can believe it, or not. If you don’t believe it, we’ll rack em sausage, C’est La Vie. In time, it’s all dust in the wind anyway.

Now that's the ticket, now come on to my post and teach me something new. The reason I know a lot is two reasons, I have been learning things about pool since WWII and I force my self to try and learn something new about pool every day. In over a half of a century, then would I not have a lot of knowledge. I am always hungry to be taught anything new. I am always open to that.

I just hate to see teachings going out I know to be wrong. Ah, I can't save or teach every one, so I am learning to live and let live and let die as well.

Come on my post and ask a sincere question and I will try to answer you in the same manner. Your right, talk pool, have fun here. That is what this sould be all about, not fighting over if I did this or that record, who friggen cares man. Focus on what I have to offer here. I get on prime time TV all the time, how, how do I fake and fraud that? Did I fake and draw the Ripleys 5 cartoons my self? Yes I did all this stuff and that was long ago. All that matters is now, today, what I can contribute today. The questions I am answer today. That is why I am on here, to contribute, not to fight with any one over anything. Let me work, I will be very pleasant to deal with.

I thank you for your nice response, I look forward to the repair between us. Perhaps in time this can be forgotten. Peace un to you my brother. :p

Those who become my students and I have the honor to teach them, get told two things up front. I do not know anything. I follow the Aristotle philosophy which means if I finally acquire all knowledge on earth, I then know that I now know nothing.

2nd you do not receive teachings from me or lessons from me. You are being taught by the greats of the game, most are now passed on and I am the holder of their knowledge. I drained their brains of what they knew. They honored me with what they had. I am their messenger, your link from them, through me to you. When I talk, it is not me talking; it is Greenleaf, Hoppe, Caras and Mosconi talking to you. Everything I teach, they taught, they wrote about in their books and they did in competition. The great hustlers Fast Eddy, Minnesota Fats and Omaha Fats taught me all there was to know about gambling and matching up.

You should view me as a living encyclopedia of pool and billiards. I have a half century of acquired billiard knowledge sitting in my head. To access it, all you have to do is ask nicely and what I know is given freely.

May God bless and peace be with you. May the wind be always on your back and
all 9 balls fall. VENI VIDI VICI, OMNIA VINCIT AMOR. Latin for “I came, I saw, I conquered, love conquerors all. Yes I really did do it all and you can believe it, or not. If you don’t believe it, C’est La Vie. A prophet is not recognized in his own land. Rack em sausage, Go play fast and loose. In time, it’s all dust in the wind anyway.

Some general pool questions

Hi Fast,
I read on one of your posts that the better players play with harder tips? Why is that? Especially since with a softer tip one can get more spin and less miscueing. Would you be so kind as to explain that to me? I'm really out of my depth here. I have an Elkmaster on my shaft ( please don't laugh). I used to play with a LePro..but I miscued a lot. With the Elkmaster, that has almost disappeared.
One more question. I can normally make cut shots, but when I try to play position by applying english to the cue ball, I am happy to see that the cue ball more or less ends up where I want it to ( after impacting a rail), which is something big for a rank amatuer like me. However, playing excellent position doesn't help me coz I almost ALWAYS miss the simplest of cut shots, just because I used english on the cueball. What gives?
Your response would be much appreciated. I haven't read all your posts, but who did you rank as the greatest. Also, if you have any stories about good old, CLASSY Mosconi...please do entertain us with that. He was my favorite player..although I never saw him play. I'm too young...I missed the golden age! Thank you in advance..I do hope you respond to this.

Just a rank amatuer,

If you rough up you tip now and then with a sandpaper file and dont break with it, chalk correctly on every shot, you should rarely mis cue if you stay within one tip of center in any direction. If you are you need a lesson on your stroke.

A soft tip does not impart more english than a hard one, it is just the opposite. The cue ball leaves the tip at impact with in 1000th of a second, where is the time to grab. A hard tip out performs a soft tip on every stroke in the game. You were on a med hard lepro, a good tip, you went very soft to the worst tip there is, elk master.
The best tip there is: Get a taislman, pig skin soft, the performance is out standing my friend, better than the Morri. Of all the great players and ball runners, Mosconi was also my favorite to watch. Every time he came to the table, you knew you might see a 200 ball run, I saw many of them from him.
He was exciting, electric.
 
Fast Larry,

Do you have any matches of Mr. Mosconi playing on video? I have NEVER seen this legend play seriously...only at the BCA Expo in 92. And even at his age then, he played amazingly!

If you have any matches of him playing 14.1, I would love to purchase some!!!

Thanks,

Travis

Yes I have some stuff from him in the 30's and 40's. I could dub you a collection of what I have. email me for details and I can come up with a resonable price for it you can afford. It won't be much. fastlarry@bellsouth.net :D
 
ozmanix said:
Hi Larry,
Are you saying that the impulse between a soft and hard tip are the same?

I am sorry, I do not know what an impulse is? All you need to know is this, soft tip suck, hard tip good. Best hard tip tailsman pig skin S grade. Put that on, win and feel good.

Impulse, I want a drink, I want to nail that chick, I will run that traffic light and not get killed or get a ticket.

Seriously, avoid soft tips, they just mushroom and go away fast. They do suck. :cool:
