    Relaxed vs raised shoulder?

    Never ever thought about my shoulder position while shooting. I have an idea. Let's really complicate the game. Pretty sure the stroke is delivered from a lower position than the shoulder like elbow or wrist. I could be wrong.

    Pick one and pocket it. That's 10 ball call shot call safe. Percentages. More decisions to make hence luck is taken out of the game. Or just make them both.

    Why? A little more thought goes into it. Do you ever play one pocket?

    “Less Lucky” Version of 10 Ball?

    I like it. Makes for a more intensely thought out game. More chess like. A good called safety can win you a game especially if a player kicks or jumps poorly. Safeties win games. On that thought, many players think the object of a game is to run out, rotation games especially. It isn't. The...

    “Less Lucky” Version of 10 Ball?

    Call shot, call safe is the only way I'll play 10 ball. Take the luck out of the game. The only way I'll play 9ball is rack your own, 9 on the break gets spotted and call the 9. There is enough luck in Texas Express 9 ball.

    Recently picked up a custom Joss from Stephen Janes. It came with the Joss kielwood shaft and a layered tip. I replaced the layered tip with a hard pressed Triangle and am absolutely loving the hit. I am getting so much action off it that I have to play more center ball with this set up. At 74 I...

    Thoughts ... Russian Kenny is out of prision

    Yup. Hate calcuttas. They extend already long tournaments. Just do a side pot. The guys running the Calcuttas love to hear themselves talk and the degenerate gamblers love it too.

    I'm still playing with one cue. Kick better. It's all about the speed on the kick.
