Great Write up Stu, It was a pleasure meeting you, I had a great time conversing with you and hearing your insight on a few of the players. I am glad you were able to recover your hard drive and not lose the first 6 days of your write-up. This was my first Derby and I had a great time seeing...

Nice meeting you as well and look forward to seeing you next year! BTW I got about 1.5 inchs below the diamond on that draw shot we were competing at, it had lots of boom boom in it!

To reach maximum draw cue tip position striking the cue ball paramount. The smooth transition from the back to the forward stroke allows the stick to travel in a straight line striking the cue ball at the "Sweet Spot" per say. I spent most of last week at the 1st Instructors Summit bringing...

The best BILLS to have are the ones that pay the bills!

I don't think it is a secret, the event winners were announced after the event and people just moved on not making a big deal about it. Just like we do everyday!

The lady that won it was no SL 4 I promise you that. If I am remembering correctly it was Liz Lovely who won and she is currently a 623 Fargo and has won a few of the CSI ladies events. At one time her Fargo was up over 650.

The "A-joint" is where the forearm and handle section of the cue is assembled together using a threaded rod of some sort.

The USCBC Started collapsing when Lindenwood let Mark Wilson go, we kept competing for a short period but COVID put the nail in the coffin! We had 8 teams with 2 more joining right when it collapsed. The bad thing about this was we were picking up traction and starting to grow as there were...

Great chance here to take your game to the next level! Mark is an awesome instructor with a ton of knowledge! Wish I would have paid closer attention when I had the opportunity to work with him!

I played at Pearl City Cue Hawaii back in the 90s and I remember them flipping the cloth 1 time and the table played fine but it took some getting used to mentally. After a couple months they flipped it to the proper side that was when we realized that the installer put it on upside down.

I have heard from one of the pro players that is sponsored by Predator when I asked him which table he preferred and he did respond to the question right away this was his response "Hey sorry for the late response.. I must have missed it, I still prefer Diamonds to be honest!" then I sent this...

Yes I still teach the mother drills. I also still practice them.

The cue ball is long gone before your hand hits your chest. I suspect your alignment is the cause of the bottom left english. When I am practicing that shot if my alignment is off at all I get the same results as you are describing accept mine tends to be low right. I reviewed your video...

The reason Scott Lee taught your hand hitting your chest at the end of the stroke was to prevent people decelerating in the stroke delivery. The arm can only go back so far and forward so far. Because of the way I stand my bicep is the stopping point for me.

By Websters definition of a Sport, Pool, Chess and other board games are considered a sport. Look it up and see the criteria they use to validate what a sport is. I was surprised what constituted a "Sport" Here are a few things I pulled from the interwebs: The word "sport" comes from the Old...
