Did anyone else think Effren's opponent was a little B>>>>> for that first break? I'd have had words.

Got what I was told is a Vintage Palmer 2x2 case i am thinking of putting up for sale.

I do have a couple O'Neil 6 cue cases but not sure willing to part with those yet and that's probably bigger then your looking for.

Thanks Shane

As I've said many times about my light..........

It's a cheaper alternative and since I am almost always over at my unattached garage upstairs apartment (pic attached) during the daytime I don't really need a big time light. I am usually not over there at night.

If that changes once the cold weather hits then I will most likely pursue having a much nicer light installed.

And there is always the chance I might sell my Gold Crown IV and move the Diamond Professional into my basement. And, yes, I might also consider buying a new Gold Crown VII as well.

Bottom line is that current light gets the job done.

Stop being oppositional. You have a great table and the light should not be worst available.

Your setup is like a $5000 bike on a $40 car rack .

You need a purpose-specific light, especially "during the daytime".

Can we see your current GC IV setup?

I can't believe you use that light for the Diamond still

Does anyone know who makes Joss 2x4 brown and black (mostly brown) leather cases? I ordered one Monday and was curious. It looks similar to an instroke, just different dyed brown. The price is great (to me) at $190. I'll get my hands on it in about 3 weeks. It's coming with my cue shipped inside. I searched the forums and didn't find the answer. Corinne at Joss always seems busy, I didn't want to bother her.

I have tried that. Doesn’t work. My mind is ALWAYS active. I can’t turn it off. I am hoping to redirect it instead.

Thanks for responding.

I practice karate and have for 40 years. I've taught it for over 26. I try to apply my focus when I shoot pool:
When I am down on the shot, I focus on the path of the breath, just the path in and then out and I shoot on the out.

There's still a lot of the forums to read.

Yeah, pretty impressed with his play.

I stared at that photo for like 5 or 6 seconds waiting for him to shoot...lol

Tennesseejoe · Sep 3, 2026

I think about all those things when I practice. And I practice until it is routine. That is why it is called 'pre-shot routine'. When I play, I only think about making the shot.

Well, they do lose a point at least. I think it adds a layer of strategy to the game.

Knocking balls off the table should cost you 5 balls, not 1.

I fully understand that mindless execution is best. .
So, my questions, in particular directed to the more highly accomplished AZBers here:
1a. From the time you get down on your shot and perform pre-strokes, until you address the cue ball the final time, what do YOU think about?
1b. Same question, but what would you recommend *I* (or any player to whom you are giving advice) think about?

nothing... i dont think
my advice to you is the same
you did your thinking before you got down in the shot
once you are down
"Just Do It"
