    Tell me why this is a foul in 9 ball, please.

    I played it at 25% speed. You can clearly see the nine ball moving.

    Video as a tool.

    I record video of myself at least once a week. Then I try my best to focus on what I perceive as myself doing wrong. Between watching my own errors, and help from a terrific teacher on this forum to whom I've sent the video for help, I've gone from regularly losing to 420s to having won my last...

    I watched a live stream of an 800 Fargo rate player, competing in a $20 weekly tournament, recently.

    Only reason you beat him... he wasn't placing his chalk on the diamonds...

    What Is The Best Jump Cue?

    After reading some thoughts from this forum, I went for the OK Healing Jump Cue at $159. I've never been able to jump properly - and I am now jumping with ease (though not yet pocketing). Thoroughly satisfied with my purchase.

    Apa nationals and pressure

    Have to agree. I played in the finals in Vegas with a team representing Broooklyn, NY back in the 90s. Though I was only a 6, I was the top player on the team, and they relied on me. Pressure had me missing shots I never missed back then, and I consider myself pretty cool-headed. It's a tough...

    Rhino 'Time' and 'Time Crystal' tips

    Just wanted to update my post now that my Rhino has arrived with the leather brown tip. It does have that clear layer, like the Time does - but it's clearly a multi-layer leather tip. Plays great. It's a much harder tip than the Tiger sniper I'm using on my Katana 3 shaft. I'm enjoying playing...

    Rhino 'Time' and 'Time Crystal' tips

    I'll find out in a couple of weeks. Heading on vacation for 2 weeks and the shaft is arriving while I'm gone.

    Rhino 'Time' and 'Time Crystal' tips

    That's indeed what I'll do, but I'm simply interested in the different tips. In the end, I agree completely that it doesn't matter at all. I'll either like it or I won't, and I'm perfectly capable of changing the tip myself.
