V10 Clean - very, very clean. Masters required much more table maintenance and hand washing. $20-25 I had one I thought I lost so I bought another. I found the original a week later. The original is at 25 months and it’s less than half used up (Home). The replacement piece (pool hall...

When I shot those vids, in spite of how they may be numbered, the head-on view was the first shot I took, and I shot these cold. I had not been shooting beforehand. It’s possible I naturally corrected in the other vids as I shot 2 thru 4. Not an excuse, just a possible explanation. But yes, I...

Here's a funny prank. Listen to the guy at the end.....LOL https://www.linkedin.com/posts/mrpreventive_a-mechanic-pranks-his-colleague-while-starting-activity-7056359998930501632-eNIE?utm_source=li_share&utm_content=feedcontent&utm_medium=g_dt_web&utm_campaign=copy

I have tried CB last many times. I’m much better off OB last. There are a few circumstances, though, I will use CB last, like jacked up over a ball; CB frozen on a rail; or almost always when using the rake.

I do this often. I like putting Cb on the foot spot, aiming at the head spot (I have a donut on the head spot), then stepping in. With this aiming, the cue should be easily and repeatedly directly centered over the short rail diamond. I have been able to achieve this very consistently. Then...

I’d rather people look up parallax themselves. Too complicated for me to attempt to describe it here. What I did notice is that if I lined up center ball (center vertical and center horizontal), then move the cue tip to the bottom of the CB the tip was actually slightly right of where the CB...

Mostly. It was a combination of twisting my wrist which pulled my hand left toward my torso, tip goes right; and parallax where it looked like I was center ball but wasn’t. Former caused many misses. I have fixed the stroke portion. Still occasionally hit the CB slightly right of center...

When I started doing the Mighty X drill I often got a perfectly still CB, albeit one that is spinning counterclockwise. I know I have a perception problem where I hit the CB ever so slightly right of dead center. I never would have realized that with a plain white cue ball. I think the measles...

I have made significant progress in the last few months. I'll spare the details of what I have changed. This past weekend I played my best pool ever in competition. As a TAP SL 6, I played three rounds (matches) of 8-ball in the Title Holders Qualifier tournament. I had three BnR, one in...

Stu wrote “He missed it but fluked the ten into another pocket for the win.” I thought that in 10-ball all balls were call pocket.

Exactly. That’s why it’s confusing. Per your definitions, you can shoot a cut the OB with outside gearing English but be hitting the rail with inside reverse spin at the cushion. I submit most pool players think of inside/outside only in terms of CB/OB interaction, and running/reverse as...

My intent was to differentiate CB to OB contact vs CB to rail contact and not use the terms for both; that’s why I mentioned the “angle”. But you are more correct, it’s the spin direction with respect to the angle to the pocket. (Truth be told, I struggled wirding my original post and missed...

And bagpipes

“Outside” and “Inside” are conventional terms used to describe spin in relation to the object ball’s angle with the cue ball. “Running” and “Reverse” are conventional terms used to describe the cue ball’s spin in relation to its angle off a cushion. Giving meaning based on context to common...
