Sorry for beating up on poor Keith, but he is a tragic example, totally lost it, totally UN disciplined, but that is the truth, why hide it. He could run two racks, dancing the cue ball around and it would be dazzling, then he would blow an easy shot, trying to do too much with it. Then the...

Its sad, that so many great players like Babe, are fading from pool history, and today, few know anything about them, or what they did.

At the highest levels of play, two examples to study would be Allison Fisher and Buddy Hall, they are using mostly center ball, so did Mosconi and Greenleaf, who call this the golden angle, where you played to a little angle to angle, then you could slide from shot to shot, using no English, and...

If you do not make, promote and establish, stars, hero's, then you don't have a sport, you just have a back room game of gamblers.

Two problems here, everyone has the answer on how to fix pool, and frankly none of them have a serious clue. Opinions however are good, somebody might get lucky and stumble on something good, even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then. I can fix pool in a heart beat, just have some...

A wonderful man, sad the way he went out in the end, a great champion and entertainer.

One said this. I agree that a reference line is important but you can use anything as a reference line. You can use the shot line as a reference line if you want. There is nothing that proves that the centerball reference line is better than any other reference line. Center ball, is the center...

If you checked them out, you would probably find out, 90% of the women's tour, falls into this. It is a crying shame, they are forced to do this, because their sport wont support them. Its an old joke, what does a pool pro and a small pizza have in...

I am amazed you would buy an expensive cue, and not know what tip it has, or are not in on the choice of tip. You also need to be telling them, what weight you want. Lepro used to be a soft tip, but Tweeten recently is making them harder than they used to be, it is a med tip single layer, out...

Snooker players are the greatest potter of the ball, and play on 6x12, and they live, using center ball. The problem with using English, is the throw, making the pot more difficult. Center ball, less throw, the pot is easier to make, as long as you account for the cling in a cut shot. As...

Sure, you can get bumed out, it can get stale, it happens, so hang it up for a few days, then come back, that will work, and that is good. Pro golfers don't play every day, they usually have Monday off, or Tue. They will only do 3 tourneys in a row, 3 weeks, then take a full week off, and do...

The post office is always a pain to get them to deal with a claim. Fedex is always your best bet, on anything expensive like a cue, they will pay off. :o

I don't think there is one answer to this one. If position is a non issue, I cut with running. Most pros do. But on cuts, depending on what position I want to achieve, I will use 3, running, center, reverse. Most of us, don't have reverse, never use it, but watch Efren, he uses it a lot...
