    Any tips for not changing your grip pressure on the shot.

    Doesn’t that predispose you to squeezing the cue even more? Do you use the pre-squeeze as a reminder not to?

    Diamonds!!

    Diamonds! Our league hall got four new 7-ft Diamonds and last night I played on them for the first time. New Simonis. Wow, really unpredictable. I overran some shots and came up short others. I don't know if it was because of new cloth, but I swear the balls rolled differently depending on...

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

    Would there be any benefit to selecting reasonably strong, but not super high strong, MC rookies who can catch a gear occasionally but statistically not be expected to win? Perhaps with very low expectations, they might not feel pressure the same way the top players feel, and might perform well...

    107 Breaks & 6 Chances

    I have read through this thread once. I don't remember whether anyone has, or even I have, responded thusly: - How many different breaks have you tried? - Have you tried a particular CB position, tried 10 in a row, verifying you have hit the CB in the same exact spot each time? Verified you...

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

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

    107 Breaks & 6 Chances

    Brian of FXBILLIARDS on YouTube said: Run three balls in order. If you can do that five times, add a ball. If you can run four balls five times add a ball. Fail, go back to three balls. Then five balls. Then six balls. Succeed, add a ball. Fail, remove a ball. He said if you can...

    Do you want to learn more about your stroke?

    I had my video analyzed. I will spare you all the details but I will say the analysis was spot on and very useful. It confirmed some things I already suspected but identified a couple of things of which I was not aware. Bottom line: Very Good Stuff!
