Uh, seriously??? That would be Ball. 4B = 4Ball 5B= 5Ball. Etc, etc.

I have the Aramith Crown set. Two of them actually. I have the Aramith Super Pro set. I have the Centennial set. They are all nice and play great. Just wish that I could play great.

Addition by subtraction. And as I said above, you would have to be a really darn good player to do what he says.

What pockets are open??? Can't you see???

I think I am going to try that soon. Hopefully tomorrow.

No, of course not. But if - IF - is like the biggest word in the dictionary. And also, at times with those few balls clustered together it can make getting around them really difficult. Sometime you only have one spot to get to so you can obtain position on the next ball.

No, not racking the balls the exact same way every time. I just used the 4B, 5B, and 6B as the example in this diagram. It could be any of the balls. And it might look yummy but going from the 4B to the 5B is the key shot in this rack. Doesn't look like there is much there to me. I know I...

https://pad.chalkysticks.com/c908e20.png I use the Outsville template for breaking racks of 9B. And as you all know I have been breaking those racks on my new Diamond Professional. The issue is that I usually end up with about four balls all close together as shown in the diagram. In this...

I'm somewhat confused. If you are a RH player as you step into the shot shouldn't you plant your back foot - your right foot - first? And then move your left foot into position? r/DCP

Not sure one can use the term custom with a Falcon cue. I could be mistaken, however.

In the 90s 1st prize at the Sands Reno tournament was around $11,000 to $12,000.

I agree here. Totally. Those Pocket Reducers can do wonders for your game. I wonder if any pros have ever taken along one to a tournament and practiced in the practice room with it on just before a match?

This topic - elbow drop - and CB or OB last have always been just about the two big issues in the game of pool with regards to instruction and execution. Surprised nobody has brought up the CB/OB last issue in this thread.

Yet tons and TONS of these so-called PBIA/SPF instructors tell you that you have - HAVE - to keep that elbow up and pinned, not moving, using the pendulum stroke. I knew they were wrong 25 years ago.

Hu, Not all of the racks I do run are wide open. Sometimes they actually have some difficulty. Earlier today I actually got out the rack diagrammed below. Not an extremely difficult spread but it wasn't easy either. I'm not world class. Unfortunately. And as is the case with any rack -...
