I've had the pleasure of watching Efren practice rotation on numerous occasions at Hardtimes. One time he ran down to the 10 ball getting perfect on every shot, before switching his cue back to his RIGHT hand to finish out the rack. He made it look so easy we didn't even notice we was shooting...

Thanks for all the suggestions so far! It is a new construction and we will most likely move in a couple weeks after the home is completed. So far I'm leaning towards either luxury vinyl plank, low profile carpet tiles, or the epoxy shield. As far carpet color goes, anyone have any suggestions...

Hello! I am purchasing a new home which includes a large unfinished basement where I can finally fulfill my dream of having a poolroom. Just wondering if anyone had suggestions on the best bang for your buck floor covering for a concrete basement floor? I've done some research and due to...

Hey garczar, how does your Rick Roper extension screw into your Mezz butt? Do you have an X-Bumper on the Mezz or did the extension come with its own bumper? Thanks for your time!

Dodong means "Kid", so Dodong Diamond = "Kid Diamond". Not sure where the Diamond part of his name comes from.

Try breaking closer to the center of the table around 1/2 - 3/4 break speed

Love the idea of using the golf tees to check stroke straightness and alignment! I need to go pick some of those up along with some hole reinforcements. Thanks for the video Dr. Dave!

This is the best description of the power break stroke that I've seen or heard. I've studied and practiced the break a lot over the last year but still have bouts of inconsistency when trying to generate more power. I could not figure out what separated my good days from my bad days but you just...

Thank you for posting the link! I first heard of this match when I started playing pool and have never seen it. I've always wanted to watch it as a learning tool for playing proper straight pool patterns. Happy holidays to you and many thanks to Accu-Stats as well!

Apparantly Efren was talking to Francisco Bustamante (who is sitting offscreen) and said the young man was imitating Busty's penchant for throwing cue sticks haha

I just recently had an epiphany regarding my own mental game. I frequently fall victim to pre-match anxiety, which leads to "trying too hard" when playing a match of any consequence. In crucial situations I would sometimes tense up and/or get the shakes real bad. Aside from the anxiety, I also...

I've hit this shot about a dozen times on a crappy bar table haha. On a 9 foot I've only been able to do it a couple times, but it was on new/almost new cloth and very clean balls. Corey doing it in a game is just ridiculous. Funny how much power he has in his stroke but almost always seems to...

John Kucharo came through my hometown around 20 years ago looking for a game. My buddy (who was around 18 or 19 at the time) ended up playing him some one pocket and 9 ball, ended up either even or losing a little bit to him. He said he watched Mr. Kucharo practicing on the 5x10 snooker table...

My best was doing the drill 3 times in a row without a miss, 9' table. I also tend to miss only when I lose concentration for a second or shoot out of rhythm (usually too quickly). I've also done the drill with the cue ball 1 diamond farther back twice in a row without missing. I tend to lose...

Thornton checking in, work from home so I don't get to have a snow day. Hey Slayer, my mother-in-law lives in Westcliffe and we visit there once in a blue moon. Where do you shoot pool, anywhere halfway decent in town?
