    Pro Pocket Size TOO Small for 9 Ball

    As I told you at Derby, I think the break should be from something similar to the snooker D with the one on the spot, and figure out what rack works best from there to encourage big breaks again.

    How High Or Low Do You Cue For Maximum Spin And Had Dr. Dave Ever Studied This?

    Yeah, I guess I didn't frame them as two different questions. My main question was this: Should one be finishing with the tip on the table for maximum, or even moderate follow?

    How High Or Low Do You Cue For Maximum Spin And Had Dr. Dave Ever Studied This?

    How high or low do you cue the ball when attempting maximum spin? The golfer in me knows that for maximum backspin, you want a downward strike. It would seem to me that physics would say the same would be true in pool, which would mean a slightly elevated butt. Does that mean we should...

    If anyone is going in the next couple of days would you leave a road report and where you were traveling from? I am leaving from NC Tuesday morning and will do the same.

    Breaking - 1990s vs 2026

    I have been thinking a lot about this lately and find it funny that this thread popped up. As a fan and player, I detest the “modern” break. Do you have any ideas about how to bring the old power break back in 9 ball?

    New Pet Peeve in Pool

    I saw that one recently as well and thought it was a terrible move. Shannon would never have done that had the roles been reversed.
