    Is isolated straight-stroke practice really worth the time???

    Here is your "key"....You can't force a straight stroke.....I mean you can try to force it straight a million times "practicing" a straight stroke. but under pressure a "forced" straight stroke will fail. A crooked stroke is magnified by pressure, amount of force applied, or using english. In...

    How would you do this?

    Well.....you are a favorite to lose this rack...so hard to judge the second rail...I don't like an attempt at a 2 rail........What would I do?.....Punt.....I would attempt to bank toward the 9 but bank long at just above the middle diamond with pocket speed....and try and go one rail with the CB...

    What beginner pool tip do you wish you learned sooner?

    Well....13 pages deep and did not see this one mentioned that sometimes I wish I would have been told. "Stay off the damn forums!!!!" Truth be told....I may be partially to blame...(although it would have happened anyway)....I never really mention this much...but those Valley of the Sun...

    secret to long table bank shots

    🤔🤔I think the sooner you can realize there is not only 1 perfected method for all banks the better....There are multiple methods for banking and pieces of each can be combined for your personal best method....I want to know "ALL" the methods What was never mentioned (that I saw) in this entire...

    Fixing eyes or adjusting aim

    I get that people have varying amounts of eye dominance...and you naturally see to that amount of dominant eye....and need to learn to align based on that amount of eye dominance........I guess what I really meant to say is I don't like the "term" Vision Center.......It seems (to me) like just a...

    Fixing eyes or adjusting aim

    If you do the circle (or triangle) dominant eye test and then close your dominant eye. You can see just how dominant your dominant eye is.....the further outside the circle the more dominant...When I do the circle test the object will move completely out of the circle. Dominant Eye Test I am...

    Low English

    IDK....In some cases I would say the opposite.....Example....On the end rail....say I am cutting the ball to the left corner and I put low right because I want the CB to travel 2-3 rails around the table to the other end.....I am for sure not hitting thinner....I may hit a tad thicker to counter...

Both 12.7 and 12.5 Rhino with original and aftermarket tips have done that WTF kind of miscue was that to me....similar with low left/right draw stroke.......seemes real easy to miscue....perhaps it is a great practice cue to kind of...

    Overcoming Frustration

    Well technically you don't....otherwise you would not do it......but you do know it is one of those things that is throwing your stroke off......by adjusting one you can see if it makes an improvement. Ideally at some point in practice you found a gear where everything clicks and you analized...

    Overcoming Frustration

    90% if pool players are what I would call "weekend warriors"......(Personally I am about a quarterly warrior...I only play competitively about 4 times a year)......practice/play throughout the week is limited due to work/life....so consistency is going to suffer.......That being said....I have...
