That would be hilarious.

I use CTE system and love it. I took 2 lessons with Stann before my stroke and am thinking of taking a trip down there for a refresher soon now that I have my head back together.

Hey guys I had a breakthrough in my game and thought I would share a tip that helped me tremendously. I have been in a slump for far too long (especially after my stroke). I was dubbling up pockets completely missing easy shots miscuing and just all around terrible. I couldn't figure it out...

Call me superstitious but I live and die by my pre-match ritual. Before my match I have an Irish Car Boom and drink a pint of Guennis during the match (needles to say i dont drive when I play pool). I have to have green chalk and at the start of each game i use Talc. I am methodical with my...

Thanks guys this is all great advice but one problem I live in a small town that has several available leauges every night of the week at least 6 bars with a league available That May not sound like allot but for the smaller town I live in it is and if the players want to join a new team there...

Hey guys I played 9-ball last night and was thinking about the break shot in 9-ball. the break in 9 is imperative I see allot of players break at an angle hitting it as hard as they can. However when I do that I often find myself in a bad position for the one ball. So last night i tried a new...

As a guitar player a great deal of people like distressed guitars (guitars with a great bit of ware on it) because it gives the guitar a history and character. personally I love distressed guitars then it got me thinking about the idea of distressed cues. just as guitar plays still watch the...

My main weakness when playing on a 6ft table is cue ball control navigating through the congestion and often times end up in bad positions when I try for a big run. However I can pull off some impressive shots to make the 9 early using combos or caroms that at pretty complicated. Where I get...

The mechanics of the stroke has nothing to do with an LD shaft but an LD shaft effects the beginner's approach to practice

well I cant say this is not right for every player because i think sometimes the APA skill level doesnt reflect their true skill But in general 2s and 3s

How is this is an OCD mindset beginners dont need to be focusing on english so an LD shaft is not really that beneficial and some people get bogged down with using english when their problems such as an inconsistent stroke and speed control.

the thing is that they get no benefit to their development because they shouldn't be trying to play english. It helps you play with english because it helps you aim while using english and That is something a lowerlevel player should not be focusing on. You mentioned that when developing you...
