    Hard to Find the Center of the Cue Ball

    Obviously I agree, so does that mean to forget about trying to hit center ball and accept that I should hit most shots with some degree of left or right, or to keep practicing my stroke on hitting center ball? At age 69, I’m currently having issues dealing with a 10 year old shoulder...

    Yeah, but sometimes it’s a touch of outside!

    Hard to Find the Center of the Cue Ball

    I know center CB is advised when you don’t need spin for positioning, but I’ve found that particularly under pressure and late in the rack, even when CB position is not needed, it’s more comfortable for me to apply some inside or outside, as I’ve done my entire life as a pool player. I’ve found...

    Thanks, that means we’ve lost both matches so far today I assume? Either of them go to the hill?

    Mosconi Cup 2025, Dec. 3-6, Alexandra Palace, London

    Brit fans behave just fine towards the Americans when the Ryder Cup is held over there or at the British Open. For some reason in this sport and particularly in this event, they seem to think it’s allowed and even encouraged, until Matchroom and the refs crack down on it, which would be very...

    It doesn’t get any worse than what Tyler has been through on the biggest stage our sport offers, letting his teammates and his country’s pool fans down with those numerous match deciding errors. We always learn and grow more from our losses than from our victories. If he’s able to face down...

    Feeling 100

    I certainly agree. Also, using a racking template to ensure the balls spread out better on beginning of rack break shots will greatly increase anyone’s chances at a long run.

    Ridiculous and unexcusable that the ref didn’t even attempt to quiet the crowd. Can you imagine that ever happening on a crucial match deciding putt in the Ryder Cup - Never. The culprits would be arrested and banned for life!

    So he lost after playing solid and being up 4-2?

    I’m guessing Oscar would likely match up against any player on our team other than Gorst or SVB in a challenge match for big $. Even though Oscar doesn’t even play full-time like the others, he would still be a clear upgrade over two of our current players, in regards to how he would handle...

    Feeling 100

    At your age, if you recently hit 75, you most certainly have the skill to string 2 more racks get to 100, but try to do it soon! At your age it starts getting tougher the older you get!

    Little Guidance Here

    Your food operation has to be good enough to attract non pool players, both dine-in as well as take-out orders. Our 30 year old 10 table pool room and grill, no alcohol, would never have lasted without the support from our regular and occasional dining customers who have never played pool here...

    Mosconi Cup 2025, Dec. 3-6, Alexandra Palace, London

    As far as Styer’s shot at the end of match 5, on new cloth, I’m not sure that inside would’ve reversed the path of the CB off that end cushion enough to have left him easy on the 9. He played it the correct way, he apparently was just afraid of scratching in the side which I’m guessing is why...
