Practice drill along rails Her's a neat drill for shots along the rail, while also learning about postion play. All object balls are aligned along the rails as shown. If you want you can move them slightly off the rails for a bit more difficulty. Take ball in hand to start and then pocket...

Earl's cue (at least several years ago) Well I thought I'd check in on this one. I have one of Earl's cues from when he used it to win the 2002 WPA World Nine-ball Championship (men's division) . I purchased it in an auction directly from him in Tampa at one of the wheel chair tournaments...

Just wishing everyone on AzBilliards a joyous holiday season. Karin Anne

Another variation Another variation on this type of shot is to orient the cue about 45 degrees relative to a normal straight on stroke. Then move the cue along its axis across the cueball just brushing the cue ball. A small drawing viewed from ABOVE is attached below, hope it illustrates the...
