    Old school Hopkins vs. Rosas match

    Yeah, it's older than 1987. Also, I wasn't aware that there was a difference between scratching in a pocket and the cueball flying off the table. I was playing back then and I remember all balls being spotted and cueball anywhere in the kitchen. Jay said and cueball off the table meant ball in...

    Stragetic-safties, or splitting hairs?

    Another way is to play a safety on the lowest numbered ball moving it in line with the 9 ball and hiding the cueball so that if you get ball in hand you have a combo on the 9.

    Monica Webb All Class

    I watched that match too, I think in retrospect she should have used draw and the 2 ball would have followed forward and pushed the hanging 9 ball in the pocket. Anyways, you're right, she handled it with class.

    Why not Shane vs Lee Van Corteza

    I was watching "Clash of the Titans" tournament that was held not long ago in Toronto I believe. Anyways, Shane is talking with one of the commentators and when asked about Orcullo, Shane said he didn't want to play him because he's playing too good. I couldn't believe it but go watch it on...

    One Pocket Situation...What's Your Shot?

    I think banking the ten one rail to your side and leaving the cb on yoor opponents rail is about as good as it gets. I wouldn't want to disturb that 3 ball cluster seeings it doesn't benefit your opponent as it lays now.

    How Do the Pros Aim

    I was watching a segment of Clash of the Titans pool tournament on you tube. Alex P. vs. John Morra and Shane Van Boening was a guest commentator. At some point in the match they were talking about aiming and Shane mentioned that he doesn't look at the cueball he just sees the tip of the cue...
