    How Do You Express Your Displeasure With Your Ineptitude?

    This might be the biggest downfall of my game. What's the best way of dealing with this? I need some serious anger management not just in pool, but in golf and tennis as well. Even though my billiards game is about where I want it to be, I simply have no tolerance for failure. If I miss a few...

    Anyone have any stories of Gary "Bushwacker" Nolan

    Way back in the summer of 2006, I played him some games of 9 ball. It was pretty much me watching him break and run out for about an hour. Not a very exciting story :) He's a great guy though, a true gentleman. Still has a damn fine game. If I see him this week, I'll point him this direction.

    WU...How?

    A very general observation This is a little out there, but I think it has a lot to do with the differences between Eastern and Western philosophy. Western philosophy is one of observation through the senses, with a heavy emphasis on the physical world. Eastern philosophy, on the other hand...

    Haha that explains a lot. They must have changed the port within the last week, or else i'm sure google and myself would have noticed. Cancel thread!

    Billiards tracker

    Anybody been on the billiards torrent tracker lately? I haven't been able to access it in the last couple of days. This site was getting to be more and more popular, with a pretty good selection. I really hope it's a temporary outage. URL: http://uzhis.homeip.net:6969/

    PA State 9-ball tourn. June 3 & 4 $4k added

    I'm lead to believe he's from Texas, just based on his 2005 earnings in the 'player finder'. He played in a number of tour stops and what-not around the Texas area.

    what size table do you have at home?

    I play on an 8' Brunswick with bucket pockets with the worst-condition felt i've ever seen. Still, at $300 it was perhaps the best investment i've ever made. It plays suprisingly well -- but I don't know how many more spills it can take being in a college house. I don't play seriously on this...

    Keeping Your Composure

    Remove all conscious thought Like myself, you've probably heard people give advice like "just forget about that miss" , or "don't let it get to you". While most people are well aware of this correctable problem, few are able to do anything about it. I honestly think I got past most of that...

    "Bushwacker" vs. McCready

    Lucky Break I had been coming to his pool hall for almost 9 months before I discovered that he has a World 9-ball title under his belt. Anybody know what year that was in? Also, if anybody has any pictures of him back in the day, they should most definately post them. Skess, Did you play in...
