    Most Common Shot In 9/10-Ball

    I agree, it's rare not shooting this shot one or more times in a single game. I'll add that practicing this shot without shaving the long rail with the ob is a good habit.

    An open conversation on what pool in North America needs and can support.

    I think the problem is the game itself. It's strange that I prefer to watch snooker to pool (although I don't watch it a lot), but I love to play pool and playing snooker bores me... For some reason I see snooker more atractive to watch, its esthetic, the dynamic of the game, etc. I know a lot...

    Corey Deuel on Europeans and the Mosconi Cup

    Mark Wilson's "additional friction" comment

    No, friction depends of velocity between surfaces, it's less with more velocity. Rolling velocity counts, if balls contact when one is rolling at high speed, friction is lower than if it were sliding. Touching balls are the ideal situation to maximize friction because they are not rolling at the...
