    Lost a set for five hundo on Sat

    Very good attitude. You have to learn to lose before you can win. One time when I was in college I played a big set and lost and it was about 90% of the money I had at the time (College right:thumbup:). I only played because I thought I had the big old nuts but I took it for granted and had to...

    A question regarding etiquette

    If my opponent is shooting right at me I typically stand up and move to the side a little just to be polite. However, if they are already down on the shot when I realize ill just stay still while they shoot.

    How important is lighting to you?

    Here is a picture of my bridge I use for jump shots: How can it be improved?

You could always take your hand off the table and make your bridge near your side but...

    One Pocket Players: Removing Balls From Jaws of Opponents Pocket

    Yea these shots are very tricky. When the OB is in the pocket like that you have to hit it square or actually on the side that's away from the pocket to avoid it spinning in for the scratch. If you cant do this without hitting the OB very thin off the rail and sending the CB flying, sometimes...

    Top Ten US 9/10 ball players

    If Larry is on his game he could beat anyone in the country. He is a little too inconsistent which is why he never reached the top but I've seen him in gear and other than guys like Earl Strickland, Nobody can reach a gear like Larry.

    How to not forget about the ghost ball area

    Don't use the ghost ball or any aiming system for that matter. All the ghost ball is is a way to teach beginners about the basic concepts of pocketing balls. You should be able to look at the object ball and pocket and instinctively know where the cue ball needs to go. Aiming systems are a...

    Top 3 banks to master if you want to be good at one pocket...ready, GO!

    1. Tight banks near you opponents pocket when you have to avoid the double kiss. 2. Full table bank to be able to attack the balls that are up table. 3. 3-railer to be able to go on the offensive when your opponent does not have balls near their pocket but has left you below or near the stack.
