    Game That Teaches The Most Skills?

    1p for the win. I have noticed that my skills from other games translate to a better one-pocket game for me. Not sure one-pocket really improves any of the other games though. Straight pool has helped me spot dead balls in racks/clusters as well as pocketing "easy" shots. 9-ball/Rotation has...

    Carbon Fiber Shaft Cleaning Question

    91% dries faster. I think it is used in applications where water cannot be used (Computer cleaning and such). Seems like 70% would work fine for the shaft. I think it is primarily used for killing infection and bacteria and stuff. (Works better on skin than 91% alcohol for a disinfectant)

    Carbon Fiber Shaft Cleaning Question

    My understanding is the finish on the shaft is what is most important to protect (that outer layer is actually quite thin as well, per the pics online). Rubbing alcohol cleans my shaft with minimal pressure being applied. I do a little hand test to make sure nothing is on the shaft, then I...

    Carbon Fiber Shaft Cleaning Question

    I clean mine before each session with 90% rubbing alcohol and have only noticed blue from chalk coming off.

    Cuetec announces Carbon Fiber tentative price and....

    There are probably a lot of factors that could make this true I imagine. A slightly imperfect hit on a shot, accidentally imparting some left/right, creating some deflection. A non LD shaft could deflect enough to miss the shot. Is the guy better really? He is the person who made the poor...

    Guess I’ll start playing one pocket. Help needed.

    I have to agree with Andrew Manning. Josh Roberts is one of the best one pocket commentators I have watched. Any stream with him is worth watching a few times. One pocket will definitely show you weaknesses in your game. It can be humbling. Good luck

    Jason Shaw, classless?

    While I certainly felt it was excessive, (especially after each game, he hadn't even won the match and was strutting around like a peacock.) it is part of this event, and his high energy was fine. If you want to know what was totally classless and uncalled for, it was the facebook chat that...

    Maximum Throw at Different Speeds and Angles Video

    Hey Dr. Dave, one thing I have always wondered is why you don't use some kind of ramp so that you could take some of the speed variables out of the equation when you do some of your vids. Like this but with some way to hold the ball at different heights. I've seen something like it, I would...

    2018 AZB Ghost Challenge - Official Thread

    I did get a camera for my birthday, I was having trouble setting up the camera to get a good angle, the tripod it came with was very tiny. (Like 12 inches or slightly less (30 cm)) It looked ok on the camera's little screen but on my tv it was just horrible because of the flat angle. I need...

    do I need professional lessons

    I shot pool multiple times weekly for many hours each time for years. My practice was mainly playing people and asking questions and paying attention. This unfortunately didn't fix fundamental flaws in my stroke or game. I got to a weak 'A' player level, but couldn't quite get the consistency...

    Template Rack Issues Due to 1-Ball Size Variance for Used Balls?

    He is absolutely correct. I play at places with mixed ball sets and/or damaged balls and they really do a great job of ensuring a tight rack. Accu-rack is by far my favorite templates.

    2018 AZB Ghost Challenge - Official Thread

    I found a pretty nice camera, stand, battery, case, combo set type thing online with a Sony camera that is pretty similar to the one you posted. I made a short list of gift items that I would enjoy and sent it to my girlfriend. She has trouble shopping for me since we always just buy what we...

    Houston Area Pool Halls

    In my younger days I stayed in Alvin almost exclusively. I do not know of the Cue and Cushion crowd, but it is possible I might know some names if you know any of them.

    2018 AZB Ghost Challenge - Official Thread

    The reasons you state are why I plan on getting a camera. Its pretty inexpensive really, and I do play long sessions myself, even when by myself. Thanks for the input though. What kind of camera exactly? Just a cheap sony? Does it do 1080p? 4k? Seems like it would not be able to record so...
