Thanks for the tip

I'm looking for a game in London, UK. Can be action or just tryhard for a beer. I play all games, including snooker. Probably not English pool though. Offering lessons for advanced players as well. If you have been struggling with some issue for a long time, I'm confident I can help you. Send...

All aiming is, is pattern matching your current "shot picture" to your subconscious prediction systems picture database. It doesn't necessarily have to appear 'straight' or 'aligned' (although that does help). Building consistently is what matters most here. As long as you get your eyes in the...

I'm not a "pro" but I am thinking of switching back to wood because I cannot see CF very well. I love how CF plays, no issues at all, but the way light reflects on it makes it hard for me see it well in my peripheral vision.

Very kind words, thank you. I'll give you a call. Why not post your findings for everyone, I'm sure it would be interesting to discuss. Sorry but you misunderstood. I agree with all your points. Well I know... I built it! :-) It keeps the butt of the cue laterally stable, allowing slight...

It seems to get worse with age... Thanks. It's the traveling that's wearing on me. Anything in particular I can help understand better? Thanks, will do Well, cliff notes would be that your eyes lie to you most of the time and after a certain point mechanical fixes no longer work Thats...

Understanding Stroke Development To understand this phenomenon, let's examine how players typically develop their stroke mechanics through different stages of progression. The Beginner Phase New players start with basic physical movements, learning to connect their cue with the cue ball...

Hello pool fans. My name is Oliver Ruuger. I've been lucky to be able to work on my pool game almost full time (3-4 hours a day, 6 days a week + tournaments) for the past 3 years and have traveled to some of the biggest tournaments in the US with decent results. For context i am a low/mid level...

The end of the bce/csi events is a bit of a blur to me... but I do remember you breaking like a grizzly bear and then telling me you found the correct soft break speed to make a ball... hahaha i need some breaking lessons from you for sure :) good match!

Hey all, I will be staying in Istanbul (Topkapi/Karakoy area) for the next few months. Looking for any recommendations as to where good players practice. I'm a decent amateur lvl player. Also lf a local tournament calendar if there is any! Thanks.

You should change your conditions according to what you are looking to achieve. Struggling with getting your technique sharpened up? Play on tight pockets. Want to improve positivity, flow and positional play? Play on normal sized pockets. Already running 10-packs on a normal table? Tighten...

Well you are in luck. I've been playing with the wx900 for a good while, and got to try out the ignite for a whole day last week. To me, the deflection of the ignite feels slightly less than the wx900, but honestly i adjusted to it almost immediately and had great results strait off the bat...
