thanks again for the tips and advice. i do indeed have a time out for each match, so maybe i will start using it to confer when i get stuck. i have been practicing with clusters on my home table, and i am going to try to play at the local pool hall every week so I can get used to the barboxes...

thanks again everyone. I was placed on this team...I am new in the area and I don't know a soul in the league, so every session I will meet new players. The leagues is ACS, so 5 players on one team play all 5 players on the other team; at the end of the night I will have played each of the 5...

thanks for the advice so far. I don't complain to my teammates, I saved that for you all :) I guess the biggest frustration I have right now is playing with all of these new guys who are probably forming an opinion that I suck, when I really don't. I have a pretty good understanding of the game...

Last night was my second session in the local league that I have joined. I was pretty pissed when it was all over, so here's my story. I would like to hear from others on here who are in leagues and who might have gone through a similar thing. I feel like I am a good pool player. I can...

thanks for the tips so far. i hate that the league play is on barbox tables, because i practice so well at home and then i can't really use a lot of it during league.

i played my first night of league on Thursday night, and it was a lot of fun. I did pretty well considering it was the first time I have ever played in a league...my handicap is now an 8.2 out of 10. The one thing I had a lot of problems with was adjusting from my nice 8 foot Connelly with...

if he suckerpunched someone, it sounds like he does indeed need some help.

will it replace a meucci shaft or is the joint different?

i saw some great matches and the whole event was very professional. i was quite impressed by the players, the dress, the atmosphere, and everything else. I am excited to watch how the tour unfolds, I think it has the potential to be very positive for the sport of pool. BTW, the pool room is an...

i watched him play both the matches and Sigel seemed off his game. He missed some easy shots and his position play just wasn't there.

I am planning on coming up on Saturday to watch the matches. Is that a problem? Will there be room to stand and watch?

I have camel on mine and my dad has camel on his, which I played on for 20 years. for a home table i like it a lot more than green or blue. i have the simonis 860.

awesome, thanks a lot! the Drivermaker thing looks like fun.

I practice everyday and running racks is fine, but I would like to start playing some games in addition to the normal practicing. Are there any games out there that you can play alone where you accumulate a score that you can compare to other players...just to see how you stand?

well, the problem is that the only local leagues here are the ACS and the APA. I have heard a lot of negative things about the APA, so that is why I asked on here. I know the ACS is not as widespread as other leagues, but I don't know if that is a huge drawback or not, as far as I'm concerned. I...
