Aha, I see, so Irene gave you a visit and forgot her courtesies... Well can't blame women; sometimes they fire up when you least expect it and calm do for no reason whatsoever. The workout thing. I think there's a mental side to it as well. Basically, one thought led me to think about it, you...

So pool is a fairly physical sport. Your muscles are forced to perform unique tasks. As in any other physical sport, many spend time in gym developing their bodies, should a pool player do so? To pull off a fast shot your arm has to be fast. You know what I mean? Should a pool player be...

Nice one, Thanks

I am really sorry for making a new thread but just can`t figure this out. If a player X shoots a ball and makes it into his pocket simultaneously pocketing a ball into Y's pocket. What happens?

Francrimi, Ok, so I am not sure which one of these but either Corey or SVB has his break cue's butt marked. Or had. I've seen it in one of their matches but I cannot recall who....

After doing some work at the table I was able to pin point some inadequacies in my technique that unwillingly put spin on CB. I took the advice with a stripe ball and after shooting some shots it was clear that something's not ok. Basically my cue was at a too large of angle at the time of...

Hey, Instead of playing a stop shot with a centre hit I like to hit it low and play it with a softer stroke. I have noticed that on longer shots if played very low CB stops but keeps spinning. I aim straight (I think) and long straight in shots are my favourites but the CB stops and keeps some...

Good stuff people, Recording one self is very useful... The first thing I noticed, as did someone else here, was my moving head, fixed it by staying a bit up, like an inch or so. Also, earlier my cue would bump into my chin and throw me out of line, that went away as well. One shot - two birds...

Thank you for replies, Yesterday I brought my camera into the pool hall and took some shots. Side: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJlIEf015RE Back: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOluPbgjFIw Even though an opinion can be split on this issue, I would like to know what experienced people think...

Wow, thank you for replies… Francrimi, See, I was not trying to emulate anyone, just play my game and shoulder came from nowhere. I thought that it looked something like those guys are doing. But now when you asked me those questions, I started wondering, am I really sure I do the same thing…...

I share a passion for pool... and pool not being a mysterious game before I started practising regularly, suddenly became a venture full of mysteries. My question regards a stroke. I used to have trouble putting spin on a CB, I thought it was due to poor table conditions, slow cloth and rails...

Hey, you all. So I am pretty new to pool it's been six months with a cue in my hand and probably these problems you mentioned are for us noobies to figure out, progress comes slow, smallpox is fast... Thus, you probably should not take for granted what's going to follow. At first I thought that...

So I started playing more seriously (meaning that I bought my own cue and began practising somewhat regularly) about six months ago and every game I played since then, even with my buddies, is not the same simply because of expectations. And every single one of us know that expectations put upon...
