    Help identifying a possible hustler

    Wow thanks a lot, OP. This dude showed up in town yesterday and I was supposed to go play him tonight. He told us his name was John Michael Montgomery, but that "y'all will be calling me Jesus when I leave here!" It all makes sense now!

    As a guy who is still beginner-ish myself, I will say that I have gotten a lot out of videos/lessons like these. For me, their real worth is and has been showing me a template on how to begin approaching different methods, situations etc... But at some point -likely the point you're at now with...

    Best Playing Cue Builder

    CliffsNotes: Some like simple cues. Some build intricate cues. The latter might or might not be a good pool player. Both will defend their position. Fart.

    They might not vary "by much" (depends on what you feel about "much"), but they can make a huge difference. The astros for example, have a short left field porch. In the past they've actually traded for players at the deadline etc.. who have high percentages of flyouts to left field that would...
