how much for lessons? :)

from what i've heard, the 314/314-2 is better than the z/z2. what do you think the next step up is, either predator or not? i can't wait to start apa next year when i begin grad school (hopefully in valpo - nw indiana here i come!)...

1 and out just to say i played :) seriously tho, i haven't played in a while but a guesstimation for me would be around 15. i really should practice more 14.1

depends on how far the cue ball goes after deflecting the 10 in the corner. a good enough 14.1 player can just work around the table going in the same corner as the 10 and the opposite side and still set themselves up nicely until the balls are racked again.

here's an idea. hit the rail first with a bit of top and you should be able to break up the 14-8 so that you can go back and forth with those and the 9 and 4. continue on the 5 and then work around the table. that's just my idea.

full stroke, half stroke (if you want to be easy) tight pockets draw back ask someone if they are playing with a wrap on their cue ;)

i don't know much about a triangle tip. have you ever used a moori tip or anything like that? i play with a medium-hard tip and like the way it hits. i guess its just personal preference.

Predator 5K2 with 314 shaft. $600. i recently won a nice stack of cash (from bowling, not pool), and i'm wondering if i should invest the $200 or so and get a z/z2 shaft. any thoughts?

sweet shot. sweet music. im trying to figure out something to do (and get to 50 posts) that comes even remotely close to all of these awesome shots. keep it up everyone!

play to win. you don't learn much, if anything, by playing someone who just isn't good. that's how we all get better, by getting beaten by the better person and lots of practice. it's why some people at school just flat out refuse to play me because they know the only way they can win is if i...

anyone planning on going to drexeline or other local pool hall soon? i think it would be cool to meet up with some az'ers and have some fun and hopefully learn from people better then me

for the uninformed and eager learners (like myself)... What is 10-ball and this golf game you speak of?

i don't gamble. the only time i did was at school where i knew i could make money. it worked for a while until people realized i wasn't losing. i'm here to learn and make myself a better pool player.

Just wondering who on here has acheived that milestone and about how long it took to get there. If all goes as planned, I'll be joining the APA next year. I'd like to consider myself a strong 5 (low 6 on a very rare occasion), but only time will tell I guess.

never played one pocket before, although i've seen it. i think i'm gonna start out at drexeline and see what happens there. only been playing with my 5K2 Predator for a few months.
