THANKS C.J CARSON

You played Gary at the superbowl in Cincinnati… do you ever make it to Beechmont billiards

Total respect

I will be looking forward to seeing the upcoming video

Great video. And good job Carson. Lol. Cheers

I love your road stories. Thanks for sharing Champ😊

Of course you can run a rack when you set the rack in your favor. All the back rows are solids. Just like Corey Deuel , rigging the break…

I knew Dave

awesome

I agree with you on buddy and cue smith.

I like the way you explain things that sometimes take years to grasp on your own. The road videos to this point are also very entertaining. Thank you CJ

When will you come back to the cue club Lexington Kentucky? I play there and I heard you come in from time to time. I’m such a big fan

This guy is a boss.

My favorite player. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Champ

I think everyone like to see these matches, maybe AccuStats could arrange that ?

One more thing, I’ve been waiting for AccuStats to release your s u p e r b match against the Miz Have been asking them for 6-7 years now ! They answered that they will, but only released your game against T Ellin. Can You do something about it ? ( I saw the match 10 years ago on youtube, but it’s gone now…)

People will climb up a tree for a lie - rather than stand the ground for the truth. A great line in these days…

CJ, Rick used to joke that he once went into Raytown Rec for a pack of smokes and didn't come back out for 2 years. Lol! That was truly the weirdest place back in the day. They were open 24-7, 365. If you walked in there at about 3 AM, .they'd stop playing and stare at you, scared to death you were a cop. Everyone in the entire place was walking around like a zombie. And I'll never forget the echo when guys would break the balls. Made everyone's break shot sound like Bustamante'. Anyhoo, loved the video. Keep up the great work.

Back in the mid 70's all we ever played was 2 shot shoot out. This kid from up north came into the pool room we stated playing 9 pool two shot shoot out. Well he had never played two shot shoot out. This kid was a better shot maker than me. Playing 2 shoot it took me two days to break him. He couldn't understand the strategy o was using.

I really enjoy what you have to say. i tried what you were saying yesterday. All these years i was using a touch of outside lol

For the referee to make the generalized statement he did, is wrong. Below are the two rules from the World Standardized Rules that pertain to this. First, I believe the ref should have confirmed whether or not the balls were frozen. Only after that point can you make an honest assessment of Fair or Foul. Chalk it up to human error I suppose. I hope they do better going forward. 6.7 Double Hit / Frozen Balls If the cue stick contacts the cue ball more than once on a shot, the shot is a foul. If the cue ball is close to but not touching an object ball and the cue tip is still on the cue ball when the cue ball contacts that object ball, the shot is a foul. If the cue ball is very close to an object ball, and the shooter barely grazes that object ball on the shot, the shot is assumed not to violate the first paragraph of this rule, even though the tip is arguably still on the cue ball when ball-ball contact is made. However, if the cue ball is touching an object ball at the start of the shot, it is legal to shoot towards or partly into that ball (provided it is a legal target within the rules of the game) and if the object ball is moved by such a shot, it is considered to have been contacted by the cue ball. (Even though it may be legal to shoot towards such a touching or “frozen” ball, care must be taken not to violate the rules in the first paragraph if there are additional balls close by.) The cue ball is assumed not to be touching any ball unless it is declared touching by the referee or opponent. It is the shooter’s responsibility to get the declaration before the shot. Playing away from a frozen ball does not constitute having hit that ball unless specified in the rules of the game. 6.8 Push Shot It is a foul to prolong tip-to-cue-ball contact beyond that seen in normal shots.

I still say CJ is one of the best teachers (and the best players) in the game. Nice vid CJ! Keep 'em coming,

I remember when TONY ELLIN came on the scene CJ. He was a real good player and seemed like a real nice guy. How did he die? I was saddened to hear about that.

How did you pay your gambling taxes

I went into the Rack to play Cornbread Red he was playing a Canadian player for $1000 a game when he went broke I ask Red if he wanted to play some and he got quite then said you don't have enough money to play me boy so I went across 9 mile to the Jewish pool room and was practicing and Red snuck up and I heard a voice say you want to play some I looked at him and said you don't have enough money to play me boy later I got to know Red a little bit just one of my many stories I figured the odds were in Reds favor anyway

9 mile and coolage

Great to hear you reminisce. I started playing in 1958 and also have some really great memories. And, I've loved the game ever since. Keep the stories coming.

The Sands Regency, after sitting empty for years, has been renovated and is now J's Resort. Be great to see big time pool return to Reno. Probably never happen. All the pool halls have shutdown the last several years.

Awesome stuff. Do you have any stories of Tony Ellin? He lived down the road from us in Summerville SC.

Great stories & congrats on the high school champion funny no kids to acknowledged it/you. I also had to entertain myself too growing up in the country with not many kids around. Had a full dirt bike track got into karate, barefoot waterskiing 9 years of soccer & swam 4 miles a day for years won the local ping pong championships as a 12 year old, played pool to 135 Usppa then quit about 30 yrs ago started golf and became a scratch golfer then 10 months ago started back at pool & now playing to about a +4 in golf terms. Best game ever! Cheers

You got the double spot spot

I got the P right. Lol

Thank you Sir!

About 30 years ago Jeff Hooks told me after you came to Atlanta (not sure the year you came here first) ya'll were staying somewhere with a piano and he came downstairs one morning and you were playing and he couldn't believe how beautiful it was. I think he also said you gave him the 7 on the bar table when you first got here and beat him. Both accomplishments seemed impossible to me; I am vague on the details it's been a minute...

This was the first time I really understood foot work. Great presentation and it has helped my game a lot

Mike did that same trick to a pretty wealthy car dealer here in Chattanooga probably 40 years ago. They didn't bet anything to start with, but the guy told Mike that He'd bet him 5k that he didn't get the coin. Of course he did, but Mike didn't make the guy pay him anything. He was really great player back in the day. We had several around here back then.

Love your stories

You got the best education by playing on the road and meeting all the characters that life threw at you.

Can’t wait for your book to go on sale soon

Im from bristol and never realized as a youth how good the scene was and when janet set up on state street i was already gone.

So the point is that try to align ourselves centered with the line then start taking the left foot forward and right foot slide then we use our hips / push our hips right? Pls need your answers i need this🙏🏻

I have a device for your stroke and jump shot training.... could help with this same problem

Can you please explain your grip? You’ve said before that you grip like Shane. Is that mostly with your palm instead of your fingers? Do you ever slip stroke or use a wrist snap?

The shot demonstrated here is not the same as Woodward's.

Cj thanks for making more videos buddy.

this is how my neighbor taught me how to play when i was a kid. he ouldnt play 8 ball, or anything else just rotation.

Thank you CJ, this is the stuff I have been waiting for you to show. You have been speak1ing on this for a long time and now I have a visual reference reference of what you were speaking of and how you shoot out of your center. So thanks for the glimpse into what you do so well, and most of all I love your stories.....

Stripper pole part. 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Hilarious

Nice!

STILL GOT..IT
