I 3F'ed a guy yrs. ago in USPPA. And he was the best player there. He never spoke to me, or even looked at me after that. It was so easy to 3f him...there was a small clump of balls on the rail, and I kept feathering the 3b and sending cb way down the table. No way anybody could've prevented...

The only thing I've tried is using a striped ball in place of a cb, shooting at balls at various angles and keeping the stripe wobble to a minimum.

Hot damn! Yeah, that's it. Now how to use it. Thanks.

Won't the variant called one shot push out(where you can push-out at any time or multiple times) be the fairest format to play? Helps make bad rolls a thing of the past. Correct me about what this format is called.

To improve my center ball striking I want to get an old cue ball, drill a hole slightly larger than my cue tip in the CB's center. Then see if I can strike the ball and propel it forward. Hole about 1" deep. If the tip strikes the rim, deflection happens. With enuff practice when I use a regular...

Was it fast and easy to make a tight rack?

Food for thought

All respect to de Oro, let's leave him off this list. Nobody thinks he's top 10 material.

I'd like to move Dennis higher, BUT who gets demoted? The order is fine. Imho there has to be room for Keith. If these champs played a round-robin, and each could pick the game twice, who'd prevail? Assuming top form for all.

I have a technique that prevents squeezing and other issues. Simply rotate the cue continuously (with stroke hand) from aiming through stroking.

I've tried imitating Davis' stroke with decent results. The locked arm and forearm could help some people.

Gorst's cue stays as level as humanly possible, at least imho, and that has to lead to unbeatable accuracy. But Efren is the GOAT forever.

This is my first time seeing Soufi; fast and deadly. Why isn't he talked about...a lot? I'm very impressed.
