    Target Pool - Dimensions of Target

    I used to have one back in the day...don't know what happened to it. I recall the center bullseye approximately 5 1/2"-6" diameter (2 ball width) with 3 concentric rings each 2 1/2"-3" (one ball width), making the entire target area approx. 14"-15". Scoring was 10pts for center, 5 for...

    Why do I always miss the money shot?!

    typically if I dog a ball, it's because I was thinking about something other than the actual mechanics involving the shot at hand. For example, "man, that was a great out I just made..." as I drive the 9 into the rail 'whooo--hooo...break and run...' as I miscue on the 9 'ok, you're perfect...

    Do you play Pity pool and how to shake it

    against weaker opponents, no cash on the line-just for grins and giggles, I will intentionally handicap myself by intentionally getting out of line to a jump or kick, play shape for caroms/combos, play last pocket 8 ball, etc. playing one pocket i'll take intentional fouls or leave easy banks, etc.

    How Would You Run Out?

    I would juice up the CB w/ 3 tips of left, firm stun stroke to send CB to the long rail just above the 1st diamond, let the spin take over to come around 3 rails and carom the nine... then I would wake up and go clean my sheets...

    Is it poor sportsmanship to celebrate a mistake by the other player?

    ABSOLUTELY is poor sportsmanship. It's one thing to root for yourself; but not at the expense of others. If you win due to an opponent's fatal unforced error, shrug your shoulders, shake their hand, and give 'em a 'them's the rolls, buddy'. Celebrating another's mistake is in poor taste, and...

    Give me a story of the worst time you dogged it/choked...

    At the BCA open teams, we're up 12-9 and I am working on a b-n-r. Get to the last ball before the 8. It's less than 2 inches from the side, and all I have to do is roll it in, get about 3 inches down the rail, and shoot the 8 in the opposite side. I slow-roll the CB, get perfect shape, but...

    Jumping up a level

    once again...it's difficult to put a timeframe on progress of this type. for example, i worked on 2 rail kicks for about three days straight, 12 hours total give or take, until I could consistently hit the1/4 of the ball I'm aiming for. but when I was working on rail shots and shooting over...

    Jumping up a level

    imo, you cant quantify a jump like this. Every person will progress at their own rate; it all depends on what you put into it. Do you just bang balls around? Or do you do drills, have a purpose, or something specific that you want to work on in a practice session? If you truly want to...

    Playing By Feel vs. By Calculation?

    In my experience, this is usually due to the high level player going for too much. they only were thinking about the reward of getting BIH, and not the risk of selling out if the shot isn't executed correctly. That said, I'd rather rely upon my skill in execution, rather than lady luck to...
