    SVB break shot

    Hi, I'd like to know more about SVB's break shot. How does he achieve this kind of action? I can't really deduce it from videos or streams. As far as I know he's got to have a barely (really subtle) elevated cue, but where does he strike the cue ball? Is it top spin or does he draw the cue...

    Draw at Address?

    My best guess would be that players who do this have a "windmill"-like stroke (Bustamante for example) and it's just the way they picked up the game. In addition, it is easier to sight the shot when you address the cue ball low like you mentioned.

    Playing safe

    As I said, there is no real deal behind these challenge matches, except for seeing that you managed to achieve something - but they are there for a reason and beforehand he had a choice (we both wanted a challenge match). If it wasn't for the challenge match I wouldn't have tried to 3-foul him -...

    Playing safe

    Hey, so here's the deal: I'm playing vs. a mate at our club - we've got this "score system". So if you challenge someone and you win, you win some points (no real deal behind that - I think the winner of this score board doesn't get anything, but nevertheless ^^). So I challenged him - we were...

    LIVESTREAM - Austrian Grand Prix

    As an Austrian myself (for the sake of the other guys in the forum I stick to English, alright?) I enjoy national streams - but we sure don't have a lot. The stream was better than I expected, I've seen worse, believe me ;) If there's any chance you could provide more of these, be sure to check...

    Tip/Ferrule size - Smaller for what?

    You can get a little more action on the cue ball - that's what I think at least. Just imagine hitting the cueball below center. Hit it with a standard 13mm and a smaller one. If you hit the exact same point your hit with the smaller tip will be less in the middle of the ball than with the bigger...

    Pool shark with a little chihuahua in him

    Well, he scratched and wasn't one-stroking - I don't think he's that good.

    You do realize that this picture's been photoshopped? This woman has never been near these men before ;) That's why they are not smiling.
