    CIT, SIT, Deflection aim adjustments: At the object ball vs at the pocket?

    I asked Roger Griffis (RIP) one time how he learned to move and spin the CB so well.......He said he just spun the Sh** out of the CB for a year and then dialed it back in to around CB....He said you have to know how to spin it when you need it. May have been a little tongue and cheek from...

    Take all of the weight out of your break cue

    Modern day....IF I was playing all the time and practicing the break.....I would want to be able to Hit a 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 MPH break at will.....kind of like a golfer with a wedge that has a 50, 60,70,80, 90, 100...(etc) yard swing with a wedge....I don't care for the "BIG"...

    Do the Pro's have any annual competitions in Phoenix, AZ?

    Example of a chip tournament.....FYI...incoming player breaks....race to 1......if you lose you lose a chip......Very much a "social" event.....A 720 can only lose 2 games the whole tournament.....and has to play probably more than 30 games.....NOTE: The faster you run out....the quicker you get...

    More accurate when doing ZERO warm-up strokes. What might be going on?

    Simple.......The drop and shoot forces the "pause" before taking the final stroke and creates hyper focus on alignment. The warm up strokes are to get a feel for the shot power......problem is when the "pause" gets skipped you are never fully aligned before actually starting the final stroke.

    I've been contemplating

    Aim is easy....alignment on the other hand.......

    Do the Pro's have any annual competitions in Phoenix, AZ?

    Mostly Fargo Pro events.....JJ's, Metro, BullShooters, Main Street, Dozers, are the main locations to check for weekly......Chip tournaments are now the norm and the higher your Fargo you pretty much have to play perfect and string 10-15 wins at least once to lap the field and catch up.....It...

    Do the Pro's have any annual competitions in Phoenix, AZ?

    He was one of the good ones....I played on a BCA team with him years ago, actually drove up and roomed with him that year. He was a Math Wizard. He taught math gymnastics or something like that to kids. He was the human "blue book" of cues and had a few of them. IIRC he played in Camel Tour...

    Do the Pro's have any annual competitions in Phoenix, AZ?

    Not since the days of the Golden 8-ball when Danny D. was the house pro and played many a big name in the pit. There used to be an event that was held at the Convention Center (downtown). The last "pro" event of any signifigance was at Kolby's Corner Pocket. Many of the big names all over the...
