wow. That is Hilarious! I've not seen this in years.

I've generally followed this rule. But in pool, there always exceptions to this rule. Instead of following all the way down table then backup, I would use draw. I really only use draw for short distances and use follow for the rest. To me, follow is much more reliable and easier to visualize...

I've always thought One Pocket is the game that tests ALL of your skills. 1P forces you to really think what to do and what your opponent may do. Very analogous to chess! You think of a "move" and try to determine how your opponent would respond.

Happy New Year fellow Pool Players!

I've done both and found that 14.1 Challenge is more difficult because more chances for something bad will happen.

I find myself doing this. this helps me to visualize the speed needed for the shot. I know this looks silly but it really helps.

thank you for the replies.

What!? I have a hearing loss and the clack of the break startles me from time to time. Usually when I'm playing in leagues or "serious" match, I turn my hearing aids off so I can block out everything...

Good evening, How is the Fargo rate calculated and how do I get rated even though I am not a professional player? thank you

I will try this today and formulate a reply. There are times that I've done this and "see the spot" even though I don't look for the spot. I focus on the two lines only. I did the experiment with CB 2 feet from OB in several locations with 15 Inside and Outside. I am able to see the "point...

Is that when you are down already? Wouldn't that mean your elbow will have to move away from your natural stroking line ? Everything is done while addressing the table. It is in my experience never make a decision while you are in your shooting stance. You will miss. Once I've determined the...

What I do is start center to center. Then I slowly move right or left depending upon which side and which perception I will use. I will stop when I see both the center to edge and the proper perception line--then sweep to center cue ball... If I go any further or not enough, I will not see...
