So I went to go play a small a small weekly 8b tourney. I barely cash in third place and stick around to watch the last match. Towards the end of the match, I'm sitting in my stool with my case hanging on my shoulder ready to leave once it's over. As soon as the match is over, the winner...

Can you still be considered a sandbagger if you're leading your division in points for top gun? Isn't a sandbagger someone that loses on purpose to keep their SL low? You have to win more than most to lead in top gun points.... "Asking for a friend". Sincerely, SL 4. Don't laugh. I aspire...

Like many of you, I'm trying to step my game up this year. I plan on setting aside 4-6 hours a week to practice drills. I know this isn't much but I can't commit to more at the moment. Life gets in the way! :rolleyes: Aside from practicing drills, I want to soak up as much free knowledge as...

My brother is looking to buy a used table. We found one for sale but moving costs are a little more than anticipated. The one place I called is charging $375. I'm not familiar with the cost of this type of job so I was looking to you guys for help. The table is located in Diamond Bar on the...

I knew I wasn't that good but after doing his Guaranteed Improvement drills for the first time, I found out just how bad I was. It sure was a blow to the ego, that's for sure. I'm looking forward to watching my scores go up. They can't go much lower!

I'm going to be traveling to NYC this week. First day there I'll be taking lessons from Earl Strickland :grin: I'm obviously very excited about taking my first lessons from my favorite pro player. The purpose of this thread is to ask about the night life out there. I was hoping to get the...

****Edit**** I decided on the Little Al Romero. I bumped this thread to ask if anybody knows what toppings Little Al likes on his pizza. I will be going into his shop tonight.***Edit*** I plan on purchasing an interim Players SP in the next couple of weeks and upgrading the tip. I'm just...

I'm sitting here reading The Monk's Point The Way that he generously offered to people on here for free a while back. On page 39 (of the PDF) he mentions that Mark Twain used to play and could run more than 100 balls without a miss. I knew he enjoyed the game of billiards but where's this...

There's two parts in this video that make me think that. Around the 27 and 31 minute marks he begins to go on what seem like a couple of rants. "YOU GUYS THINK I'M STUPID DON'T YOU? IS THAT THE WAY YOU VIEW ME? AS I HAVE NO EDUCATION RIGHT? IS THAT THE WAY YOU VIEW ME? REALLY???" and...

I decided to keep a practice log to chart my progress. The reason I'm posting it up here is so that the experienced players can read through my observations. I figured you guys might have some valuable insight that would be helpful in my journey. The drills I'll be doing for now will be from...

How the hell do you guys get the 8 out of the jaws on a pocket that isn't your last? I occasionally drop into a few Mexican bars to shoot a bit and it seems like last pocket is as common as beans and tortillas. That's all they play. It's a joke folks, I can do that, I was born in...

As I've said before, I'm a newbie to this game. I spend most of my time on bar-boxes where bad strokes can be concealed for the most part. I know I need to spend more time practicing. I'm really serious about getting good at this game fast. I now have a good starting point with the advice...

I've been playing seriously for a little under a year now. Mistakes are inevitable. I believe that one of the differences between the average bangers and players that get better are learning from your mistakes and consequently, not repeating them over and over. Sorry if there's a similar...
