What were the results for this match?

I was led to believe that the white diamonds where specifically for breaking and jumping. I would like to use this as a playing cue as well. I just wanted to find out if anyone has any issues jumping using a 314 shaft.

Lately I have been playing with a cheap china made sneaky pete. This cue has a fairly hard tip as opposed to the morri soft and mediums I usually use. Due to the hard tip I have been able to leave the jump cue in the case and use my playing cue. I have been wanting to get a predator 314-2 and...

Any updates on the tourney? Updates anyone?

Lately, the pool hall has just seemed dead during the day when I practice. I can only play for so long by myself before getting bored. I play free from 11am to 7pm. I am off Wed, thur, fri and every other sat. The tables are gold crown 3's with simonis. I will play 9 ball, 10 ball, straight...

Stuck at work. Anyone have any updates for the 14.1 tournament at Hard Times Bellflower?

Bellsr 22 costa mesa, ca 35 - 40 hours a week

I find it funny people feel the need to talk shit. This is what i play as in one of the local tourneys and have been told by a couple of friends that are much better that i play at least at this speed. I put in at least 40 hours a week playing and have for the last 10 months. When im not...

I started playing about 14 monts ago and play at about an A-. That took a lot of 12 hour days though. I think i am to the point where i want to start some lessons to see where it takes me.

My cue was having a new tip put on it so I was using friends cues all night I couldnt stand it. I hated all of them that I tried. I guess I am just used to the way mine is balanced. All the other cues just felt like all of the weight was in the end of the butt. It felt like I was playing...

I used to always struggle with this until i ordered Joe Tuckers DVD set "racking secrets." He gives you lots of information about reading ranks and not just nine ball racks. Well worth the money in my opinion.

Ask the pros Louis Ulrich has a thread on some routine shots worth practicing under the "ask the pros" section on the main page. I started practicing these and it has been working very well. This might be a good place to start if you dont like drills.

Thats awsome that calvin coker won. Im in one of his leages and have been watching him practice the last couple weeks. I heard the first day that his opponent broke and he ran 91, so I knew he had a good start.

Just got addicted to straght pool. Got a 20 on 2-7-08. Hope to get to a 40 or 50 by the end of the year.
