The story is even worse. Forget english for a moment, cut induced throw varies with the speed of the cue ball for all cuts thinner than 5/8 of a cut: the faster the cue ball is traveling when it hits the OB, the less cut induced throw there is. Then topspin and backspin will reduce the amount...

I clean my ball set by hand with 91% isopropyl alcohol. What benefit will Aramith Ball Cleaner provide? Edit: Okay, I watched this video: and ISO cleans the balls so well that there is a lot more friction between balls, which results in more throw when cutting balls in. Aramith Ball...

You need Play Great Pool by Mark Wilson. It's a book that will teach you how to teach yourself to play pool, and if you fully commit he has an in depth training program for you to try and complete. You will learn exactly how to stand, how to grip the cue, where your eyes should be looking...

I don't believe that. Mark Wilson addresses that idea in relation to his recommended stance. He says it WILL feel unnatural at first, but the more you work on it and practice it, the more natural it will feel. For me, it's natural to walk up to the cue ball and slump my body on the table in a...

I don't know about that--because you don't see all the shots you need playing the ghost. What I would take away from the golf video instead is: don't do the Mighty X drill for an hour (something I do). Instead, hit a Mighty X shot, then hit a shot down the rail into the corner pocket, then...

If you watch your movement towards the cue ball on your forward stroke on this shot: you can see that you facilitate your move forward by increasing the bend in your elbow. Some instructors, e.g. Mark Wilson, teach that you should lock your bridge arm straight. You might want to try that to...

A pool room with no music, no blaring cell phones, and no vapers? Sounds like heaven.

How many wars have you ended?

We all read the same stuff, it's not like you have any special knowledge of what Duramith is. If you can sand it off, then that's good enough to call it a coating for me.

I like your pause on the backswing. If you watch Yapp, Feijen they have a beautiful pause in their strokes. But unless you eliminate all the movement in your mechanics, you'll never be able to run three balls. 😯

I would guess that you've ruined the Duramith coating. Didn't you notice how abrasive the Ball Restorer was when you were using it? Here's what the Ball Restorer is for, i.e. when you need to sand about a 1/4 inch off the surface...

Unless the red measles ball is yellow, I don't think it has the Duramith coating. Here's what Aramith says about the red measles ball: No mention of Duramith. I've searched around, and I can't find anywhere that says that some red measles balls are Duramith and some aren't, but I've seen red...

If only there was a way to verify that....🤔

I'm wondering how often these slight/nearly impossible to cal fouls occur. Did Gorst also have some slight touch fouls during the match?
