Every since I posted  what's in my case with Samm Diep, I have had other blogs contact me, or I have found other blogs of interest. One blog that really stands out is OMGWTF. this is so funny and covers all aspects of pool. Melinda has a way with words and will keep you laughing. Check out the article about Scott Medeiros.The article is titled  APA  National Team Championships.

The Opportunity Of Meeting Max Eberle.

For those of you who don't know Max Eberle, he lived in Vegas for awhile.  He has moved since then but I had the opportunity to talk with him while he lived here and found out he is not only a professional pool player but also an accomplished  artist. Check out some of his paintings. You can also go to   Max Eberle and view more of his work. He also has several books called Zen pool and a training video which I hear is excellent.

I always take every opportunity to talk with the pro's when they come to town and Max is a down to earth guy that is willing to elaborate on all aspects of his life.
Check out the video of Max playing Mars from pool hall junkies. Talk to you soon and please feel free to leave your comments.

REMINISCING

I was talking with a friend of mine last week and we started talking about when we use to play at Pinky's. Pinky's was located off FLamigo in Las Vegas Nv.
After our conversation we both agreed that we missed playing there. Pinky's has been closed for years,but the memories still hang on. Those of you that aren't familiar with Pinky's, they were a night club with 35 to 40 pool tables. All the 7 foot tables were covered with a hot pink cloth. I use to wear glasses at that time and the glare from the pink felt would cause me to miss some shots. At least that was my excuse.

Anyway back then I didn't know much about how to play the game. We would go out and bang balls and have a really good time. After several years of bad mechanic's and jumping up on every shot ( they should of nicknamed me grasshopper). I had a chance to watch the pros play at the Riviera and really fell in love with the game.
I wanted to learn more and become a much better player. I started playing serious and learning as much as I could asking alot of questions from better players and teaching myself. Big mistake, If you want to play better and become competitive then I would recommend lessons. All you new players that really want to get better
should get lessons and learn to start with the basics. Don't play around and try to teach yourself. I live in Las Vegas and we have several people that are more than capable of teaching you.If you don't live in Vegas I'm sure someone in
your area is giving lessons. In Vegas we have Walter Glass who I hear gives great lessons, and Greg Kuhls who also gives lesson which are also very good. To get these guy's phone number you can go to www.vegasbilliardsbuzz.com . Believe me I wasted years trying to teach myself, don't make the same mistake.
