    Why Your Skill Doesn’t Matter in Matches - Just in Practice

    You need to be able to play under pressure. Usually that means gambling …. BUT that doesn’t mean you have to play for money. I remember a place my friends and I would play that had live bands on the weekend and a dance floor. The bet? Whoever lost had to approach the ugliest girl in the room...

    Unaware of mismatched ball sets in upcoming tournament.

    I’ve played in some local tournaments where the rips in the cloth were covered in duct tape, there was one rack for 3 tables, the rack had 3 four balls in it and one end of the table was off the floor supported by a floor jack because the floor was so out of level. Fun times! 😀

    Mini-Demo: for what it's worth

    You really need to find an instructor, or at least a seasoned player, to help you. Your bad habits will be harder to correct the longer you wait.

    best cue tip tool

    Got my new Diamond today from the factory.
