    Good hit? Free game-changing app all pool players should own.

    Definitely bad hit. The cueball should not have the energy to follow the 8 without hitting the 8 first altering the cueball path into the 15 and then rail.

    Bar rules question

    I never heard of defense or BIH until I was 22. It sure was a learning curve when I was recruited to an APA team. I prefer what we call tournament rules, call your pocket, BIH. No nit picking BS I grew up playing. Another odd rule is the open on break that some leagues and tourneys use. I don't...

    I have one like it. On mine the ferrule is screwed on a metal stud.

    Would Mosconi had been great if

    I agree with some of your points. He was already a great player but he got to study the best their was at the time. Jeter would have been just as good anywhere he played, he is/was just that good. He would not have been as successful in a smaller market.

    Would Mosconi had been great if

    I see no correlation... Jeter didn't play one on one with a world beater day after day! Few if any world champs become champs without playing the best to elevate their game. No one tells a new player to find the sucker and pound on him and you will be able to beat the best in 2 years...

    Lathes & beginners

    I got started by accident. I have an Atlas 10x36(54" bed) that my brother was going to scrap. It is not the ideal lathe but good enough for tips, ferrules and shaft cleanup.

    Handling nerves

    2 weeks ago I played an 8b tourney on 7' diamonds with simonis cloth. I had not played a tourney since '09. I have a valley BB but hardly use it so I was rusty and it showed in my first match. I had to resort to defense and not try to RUN into trouble. I played horribly but won with luck and...

    Simplified kicking systems, where are they?!?!

    I have been doing the parallel shift for 1 and 2 rail shots for years. Once you learn it you can just look at the shot without using a cue and make a hit on bar boxes. After I warm up, I always practice the 2 rail kicks to figure out how I need to address the CB.

    League players are strange people

    Jeff hit the nail on the head, only the best cheating team wins. It hurt my game when I started playing league, It is also too easy to be higher handicap than you should be because of the dumping. I just talked to friend the other day and he told me a 3 man apa handicapped tourney he was going...
