I don't have much to say, but, man! Watch that stance! lol http://www.metacafe.com/watch/954773/flexible_girl_playing_pool/

You have to call your shots, but no need to make them in rotation.

I was wondering if you guys knew the game Bowling on the pool table. -You rack 10 balls, (like ten pins) -you break, (if you don't make a ball, it doesn't matter, doesn't count yet) -If you run out the table without missing, it's a strike, -If you run out the table with one miss, it's a reserve...

I was there, i saw the finals. I actually work at this poolhall ;) It was very interesting. John Morra, only 17 y.o. is a great player. He finished 2nd behind Montal. Morra beat Alain Martel... twice... in the same day! This is something! Too bad for my coach (Dany Hewitt), he finished...

I don't wanna give up pool, AND I KNOW WHY I KEEP PLAYING! I know, it's true, maybe i've been hard on myself. Thanks to all for your advices and opinions. I know that i'm just starting. A year and a half is too soon to give up. Tonight, i played in a local tournement. Didn't have much...

I just came back from a pool room where i've been playin straight pool with a pal. He kicked my ass (as usual) but this time specially hurt. 125 to 55. My best run was, i don't remember, like 5 or maybe 6... it sucks... I was reading a book, I think it was from The Monk (not sure, but i...

HAHAHA... i agree.. lol beautiful shot indeed!!

Hi, i'm looking for a x-breaker, can't find any on e-bay, or even on stores around Montreal (Qc, Can) area. I looked here, on the forum, and all the threads of x-breaker for sale were saying : cue sold... i was to late. So, d'you know some one who wants to sell a x-breaker, or, someone who...

I never heard of that, sounds funny, but interesting.

Thanks guys for your comments. Yeah, i knew it must have been a mental thing, it's just that i didn't feel it. But you're right, when i got an advance, i don't care if my opponent make a ball of a sequence of 3-4-5 balls or even win a game. As StevenPWaldon said : when you're ahead you have...

Last night, i've been playing with my pal, a race to 9. I had an advance, i was leading 4-1. I don't feel that i started to play worse, actually, i felt like i stayed focused on every game, maybe that my opponent started to get better, i dunno, but unfortunately, i lost!!! 9-4...

oh i see, it makes sense :) thanks for the answer

great thread! My instructor actually told me about the X-Breaker, as the best jump cue he ever played with. He told me it was crap for breaking though, but still worth it tu purchase it. I asked him why he didn't like to break with it... he said the shaft was too big so he had kind of a hard...

the ghost? that is a pool game? who d'you play it? sounds interesting.

i was playing today... that was not spectaculary dumb, but jsut funny. We were playing 9-ball. I got BiH, i set me ball pretty good for a shot on the 3, i sucessfully make the shot, perfect effect to set the CB for the 4. After making my shot, i stay low on the table, following the CB with my...
