    44 Breaks & Only 3 Chances

    SVB vs FSR. I watched up to through the first 6 breaks. 0 for 6 were runnable. Either dry, or no starting shot. MR format.

    Was it a mistake to get a unilock playing cue? It keeps making a rattling noise whenever there is vibration.

    I think there is something that comes loose inside the Revos occasionally. It might be that rather than the joint.

    44 Breaks & Only 3 Chances

    I vaguely recall your prior posts about this, that when you shared pictures, you had lots of clusters on the table. Now, it looks like you have super good spreads. The break looks great in the 2 pictures you shared, if that is representative. You've got a super nice kick safe on one of them...

    Pros or cons playing with light shaft (approximately 3.0 oz)

    A player at the pool hall I go to has a Keilwood shaft and it plays great. IDK its weight, but I assume they are all lighter than normal maple shafts? There are a lot of them out there these days, and I haven't heard of any longevity issues with them.

    What do you think would happen if there were no handicaps, in any leagues or tournaments, and all tournaments were Open to all skill levels?

    Social banger play would be the same. Leagues would dwindle. Local tournaments would dwindle. Regional/pro open tournaments would be the same. Gambling would get bigger, since that would be the only outlet to find a "fair" game. IMO:)

    Muscle up « and » play pool!

    They work fine together from my many years personal experience doing both. The first few weeks at the gym your muscles will be very sore. After that, they get used to it and don't get too sore.

    Feedback on My Stroke & Mechanics – Looking to Improve Fundamentals

    I just switched to this after a local studied my mechanics and recommended it. I previously had the cue hang down low in my hand. Now it's tucked up in that web for the past week or two. I'm giving it a good try.

    Parallel vs BHE vs tuck and roll vs "intuitive" English vs whatever else you use.

    I promise you... If there was a high speed camera from overhead, of you, and me, and Efren shooting the same exact shot, the stick would look exactly the same at the moment it strikes the CB.

    Parallel vs BHE vs tuck and roll vs "intuitive" English vs whatever else you use.

    It’s not true though. It can’t be due to the physics. The only case is where Pat mentioned the squirt and swerve cancel exactly. The cb never leaves in the same direction as the stick is pointing. It always leaves at an angle. The whole parallel word is flat wrong. It may look that way in your...

    44 Breaks & Only 3 Chances

    That's just amateur play man... I played about 15 sets in the past 2 weeks on a 7' Diamond. I think I had 3 total break and runs. The balls broke fine, I just stink.

    Parallel vs BHE vs tuck and roll vs "intuitive" English vs whatever else you use.

    Aren't they the same thing, just the entire 3rd picture is rotated a few degrees counter-clockwise? There is only one stick "line" that will make any given shot (I'm counting position as part of the shot). It doesn't matter if a banger is holding the stick or Efren. It doesn't matter how the...

    Good players aren't going to tell you otherwise unless they are selling you an aiming system lesson.

    Parallel vs BHE vs tuck and roll vs "intuitive" English vs whatever else you use.

    ps, I play the same way (but its not "parallel" english). I get down on the shot with my stick already adjusted for xyz. All my warmup strokes are with the stick pointing in the direction needed to make the shot with position, and pointing to the spot on the CB the tip needs to hit. Zero...

    Parallel vs BHE vs tuck and roll vs "intuitive" English vs whatever else you use.

    There is no such thing as parallel english. The stick is always angled relative to the shot line when spin is applied.

    Parallel vs BHE vs tuck and roll vs "intuitive" English vs whatever else you use.

    All these years of aiming controversy, none of these systems except the “intuition” one adjust for the cb swerve and cb to ob throw. The pivot one’s attempt to adjust for cb squirt.
