1. Choke up on your cue...I bring my grip hand up about 4 inches more than normal. 2. Grip...all the pressure between the web of your thumb and index finger. 3. Dont restrict your stroke arm. in other words elbow to close to your body. 4. When you go down on the shot already have your cue...

Sweet....my favorite is the 5th one over....left to right.

Pretty nice, and the AI avatar too. It seems to be pretty knowledgeable and accurate on everything. Only draw back that i found is i wish she had the capability to create simple images. I asked her to give me an example of the opening positions of the balls for snooker. It would be nice if she...

Depends on what type of player you are and what hit you prefer. Maple for the player that likes a subtle feedback on contact. Straight grain maple forearm i really think has the best feedback of the maples for subtle. If you are not a feedback or vibration person and likes more of a solid dense...

No problem, it should definitely add some friction. You can always vacuum some up if needed. If you go over the table with a nylon bristled brush just dont use much pressure to raise the fibers.

Jay, I think all the black beauties that Hank made were phenolic cored with maple. It wasnt linen based phenolic it was a paper based phenolic which gave a unique hit. Always wanted the the black beauty that has the Tad style ringwork in the butt.

Well how much chalk do you have? Get about a dozen cubes. smash it up to it is a powder. Put it in a baby powder bottle. Squeeze it out all over the table and rails. Use a table brush and brush the table and rails good to even out the chalk dust. That should do it pretty quick or you could use a...

Exactly, especially when you are playing on your gas money to get home and food money for the night. That puts the pressure on. 😁

4 inch pockets are just bad for everyone especially the sport. The player, the room owner, the viewers etc. When they are using 4 inch pockets for pro play of course you as a serious player says well thats what i need to practice on. Oh but, If i can run out on a 4" pocket i have perfect...

I never had a lot of money to gamble on. Especially through the 90's. I was lucky to have a few hundred in my pocket. I was in my 20's and it was always a struggle. I gambled small it didnt matter 2 bucks, 5 bucks or races to 7 or 9 for 20. Only times i gambled higher was if i was up and playing...

That reminds me of Cornbread Red. I was at a bowling alley back in the day that was my usual place to play because it was the only place that had 9ft gold crowns at the time. Red comes in and comes over and we start shooting a few and talking. He was like is there anyone in here that plays for...

I don't know about tournaments being extra pressure....I have more pressure trying not to loose my money.😁 The way my mind thinks for some reason is if i go out on a tournament im only out the entry no big deal. But definitely agree about Gambling giving me more time on the table.:D

Kind of been thinking about this. Do you think that Gambling or Tournaments make you a stronger player. Personally, I think that Gambling made me a stronger player than tournaments. I really never liked tournaments that well. I would rather gamble. I get in more table time and i can hit the gear...

I dont mind it as much as when someone has to kick at a ball and they take all day doing mathematical calculations pointing at different points not once but least twice. They are talking to themselves while doing it then says no thats not right. Im sitting there like damn just kick it its not...

Briana is shooting pretty sporty! Have been really impressed with her pocketing ability recently.
