Play with the elephant balls (I have a set too, they are great), ebay the other ones, then buy a set of super aramith with the cash.

119 please! :)

1. Have you ever had a break and run? -> Yes 2. What was your largest pack (Practice or against an opponent)? -> 4-5 3. Do you gamble? If so, cheap or expensive or both? -> yes, relatively cheap 4. How much have you ever won in one night? -> few hundred 5. Have you ever read a book to help you...

Here are two different questions you have to ask yourself before you take a side on this issue: 1. What pool instruction is available? If there are no pros in your area or nobody that you trust to teach you, then finding a match to play in may be a better solution, be it a cash game or just...

Help Meeee!!!!!!! I just started playing straight pool and don't know what to do in some situations. First, what should you do if you get bad shape on your breakout ball? Should you make it and then play safe or use it to play safe? Second, what would you do here? This is not exactly what...

Does anyone else carry around a bridge head just in case you end up in a hall that doesn't have a good bridge? I've got one and it's one of the best small investments that I've ever made. Also, if you do have one, do you have a stick to put it on or just use your break stick or some other...

This is an easy out. Just scream at the top of your lungs "Oh SH**, he's got a gun" while pointing the other way. Then proceed to move half the balls in the pockets and the cue where you need it for the next shot. :)

How about those of us that didn't make it that far? Do we get our pictures too? :)

No, no, no, no. A man's arms are built differently than a woman's. Get someone of the opposite gender near you so you can see this for yourself. Stand up with your arms relaxed at your sides. You will notice that the palms of a man's hands are faced more towards his back, usually by about 90...

There is one not so obvious, and greatly overlooked, difference between the male body and the female body that will make it more difficult for a woman in many sports. This has nothing to do with any reproductive parts either. Let's see if anyone knows what it is.......:)

20 years of bowling and only four 300's? Those lanes must have been tough....:) I would suggest the 9 foot tables over the 7 footers any day. As everyone else has said, it's easier to adjust from 9 to 7 than 7 to 9. Also, don't limit yourself to just one game. Try and learn some games...

1. Chris Loar 2. Eric Moore 3. John Newton 4. Chris Futrell One of the most exciting matches was Loar/Futrell. Loar was down 6-0 to start, but the match came down to hill-hill on Futrell's break with Loar winning. Loar ended up beating Moore 11-7 in the finals.

Low right was what was used and the ball rattled right in and out of the pocket. Needless to say, I ended up winning this rack. I was thinking the best bet would be to either stop or draw a little as the pockets would not accept balls with that much english and speed which keeps you at the...

START( %EM8C9%Fo4Q0%Gc3[0%HE3J9%IK1T3%Pb2C9 )END My buddy got himself in this mess yesterday. He had one idea, I had a different one. Note that the table we were playing on had tight pockets, so tons of english and/or speed is more than likely going to end up in a miss. Both the 5 ball and...
