wtf does this even say?

You guys are all nuts. Just shoot the damn balls into the pockets, what is so hard about that. Pocketing balls is the easiest part of pool.

I'll tell him today to call the "captain" He is not in Ohio, he is in MA.

Probably good if you're playing at home, but all these waxes are not allowed to clean balls with according to the official rules.

That Grady Mathews video is worthless. For one it doesn't show the ball curve, all it shows is that making the object ball spin a lot will spin it into the pocket when it hits the rail.

I'd have to say the reason the Brunswick is leading the pool, is a lot of the older guys that have played for many years and grew up and played their whole lives on GC's are diehards. A lot of them probably havn't even played on a Diamond. I started on GC's but the first time i EVER hit a ball...

Now this is the kind of table i like to practice straight pool on. Most straight pool players will disagree but I like the pockets small. The one problem i have is the pocket angles, those 45' angle cuts make the pockets a little easier. When they are angled outward more it throws the ball back...

Do you mind sharing what camera you are using in this video. It's the perfect quality video for recording pool. This is the quality I'm looking for. Also, only seen one shot, but it seems you take an awful lot of warm-up strokes, at least 12 or 13. Do you do this every shot or just on this...

After looking at the diagram it looks a bit different. From looking at the diagram it appears the 11 is straight in the side, but looking at the video you posted there is quite a bit of cut into the side pocket which changes the shot considerably. Edit: Ok, i watched the whole run instead of...

I watched your video and i observed something and i'm not sure how it's supposed to be. At 1:16 JUST before you say "into place" you have your shot set up the edge to edge. Now, you say its a pivot to center, but right at the exact point, you slide your whole bridge hand to the right about an...

If the balls are set up just like that in the diagram then just cut it right in the side. A lot of left spin will throw that right in.

Those are some significant changes, especially ball in hand anywhere on table after the break in 8-ball on a scratch.

World Class Billiards in Peabody has about 12 9ft Diamonds. Also, Snookers has GC4's not 3's

Well that settles it. Hit the object ball in one of 3 places and every shot goes.

The LO might not be a bad guy here. First off he said it's the tournament to decide who goes to Vegas and it's held each night, and it's the first night. Well maybe they need to see who wins the first match to determine who plays next. Is it fair to the other 20 teams if the entire schedule is...
