    CutShots Training Ball for Beginners Experience?

    The issue with the Elephant balls and other training cue balls is I guarantee you don't set them up right. You'd have to be an incredibly talented player already to know how to actually set the balls up correctly, to adjust for throw and spin, and friction, and ball cleanliness, distance, speed...

    Looking for insight on stance, 6 foot 8 pool player

    ...the pains of being a tall player :) I found a stance that works, and Ive been playing for a really long time with no pains anywhere.. I also don't use an extension as it feels too long to me. My stance is between snooker and pool, and I don't bend all the way down to the cue as I lose my...

    Any way to recover the old WEI diagrams?

    I got it working by running a Windows 7 VM with Internet Explorer. (still supports Flash and Shockwave) I found the original program somewhere and I can run it and create diagrams etc.

    Diamond 1 piece slates,is sagging/divots a myth?

    Its BS... One piece slates still have the same supports as the 3 piece slate tables. Main thing they do one piece is for shipping and setting up. One piece table won't ever "pop" the slates. if you have a choice, get a diamond Pro-AM with the one piece. You will never regret it. They ship fully...

    Navigator tip many choices (black, alpha, automatic)

    I play with either the Soft or the Medium Alpha tips. (EVERY tip becomes a hard tip after shooting with it for a couple weeks) I used to play Kamui black Medium, but I got tired of them mushrooming and glazing over. I only shape my tip once, then never touch it again... , I change it as it wears...

    Derby City Classic - What ball set to be used?

    Its important because you tend to play better when you aren't thinking about what ball is next. I like to have whatever balls so I can play with them and get used to how they play. They all play slightly different and the different color palettes affect you as you run out. I saw so many people...

    Derby City Classic - What ball set to be used?

    Hi, As the title suggests, does anyone know for sure what set is being used? I understand they are going back to Aramith from Cyclop, but I can't find the exact set. I usually buy the exact set so I get used to the various color schemes and playablity, etc. Thanks in advance *and yes, I tried...

    suggestions for setting up garage?

    I would go with an 18,000 btu Klimaire mini split with the heat pump. Its around $900 and another $4-600 to install. They are half the price or less of a Mitsubishi and they are fantastic. I used to have a table in the garage and they will cool, heat and dehumidify. They have a remote and a...

    FL, Merritt Island, Satellite Beach, Melbourne/beach where to shoot

    Isn't Players on Aurora Road (Melbourne) still open? It was a pretty good room for a long time. I think Sandaler plays there.
