I see one pool table and a door with writing on it. It looks like an empty office to me. I had no idea that you were in a public place where people were around you. As for the hat, that's your business if you're cold indoors but I've worn both hat and mask in the winter and have found them to be...

So what I'm taking from your response is that you really don't know what he means, yet you're agreeing with him. He wrote what he meant, didn't he, or do you think a professional writer like Matt is incapable of getting his point across and we have to treat him like someone who doesn't know how...

You can pull any sentence out of anything someone says and say it's right, and it may very well be right. But does it answer the question? If you continue to allow him to take you out of context, you will certainly be on a world tour. Best of luck with that. Take pictures and post them here as...

First of all, don't assume what feelings I have or don't have. You're going in a bad direction there. Second, rather than judge everyone on an emotional level, pay attention to the issue at hand--- particularly what was asked and answered. He was clarifying an earlier statement that he made...

This is so convoluted that all I can say is that if someone reading this is dumb enough to go along with it, then they deserve what they get. Feel free to have the last word, Matt. I'm out of this dumb conversation.

Do you always play in a mask and hat, leaving only a slit for your eyes, or are you just trying to hide from us? I agree with Pat about your stance. To me, it looks temporary, as if it can change at any moment, particularly considering your response to him --- "I don't know." Why don't you...

This is such an arbitrary statement. How far apart? What angle? Where are the feet that you're speaking of that causes neck problems in relation to the shot line?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you really can't practice pool on a carom table. You'll be wasting unnecessary time and energy trying. Your best bet is to find another location with a pool table where you can practice without your friend. If there's no other pool table around, then you...

Thanks for the reply.

There's one more thing I want to mention, and that is stop and stun shot speeds are supposed to vary, based on several variables -- one for example: How much of a pocket you can see. If it's a shot near the rail where the pocket is partially obstructed, then hitting the ball lower and softer to...

Cloth conditions will affect the consistency of your theory. For example, if it's raining outside and the cloth is damp, your normal stop shot tip placement might not be affected because although the cb may slide more on the damp cloth, it won't change the result of your stop shot. However...

I think the break shot is the closest you can get to a golf swing. I use those principles when I break, and I have a very hard break when I need it. As in golf, I stand more parallel to the cue on break shots (I'm not alone in this). Then I lead with my right hip, as in a golf swing and transfer...

My preference is to hit the cb as low as I comfortably can and adjust the speed (whenever possible.) Sometimes the shot is too short and you have to adjust your aim point to a higher point. I think this distance is one of those borderline shots where you could go either way. It all depends on...

You didn't expect to accomplish it in one go, did you? You have to give yourself a few months to get the timing down.

Sure. If the table is wet or if the cloth is worn down to where you can see the weave, or if the cloth is loose, you can forget about trying to muster up any decent amount of backspin to draw the cb. And if you do manage to muster up some backspin, you really don't know how much draw you will...

You can get up to an extra 5 mph by thrusting your body forward into the break, but it requires good timing or you will wind up getting the opposite effect of slowing down the break speed. As for the back leg releasing, the cause depends on your weight distribution at address. Some players...

Number 3: Yup. That's me.

It's a bit frustrating when someone takes 15 minutes to say what they could have said in 15 seconds. However, it's interesting and worth bearing. He says that it's the anticipation of that explosion or shock that makes people nervous enough to flinch, causing a miss. He addresses the problem of...

My mantra for myself dealing with those types of conditions is WWED. What Would Efren Do? The conditions in the Philippines where there are no windows and no a/c and 100% humidity and worn equipment are no walk in the park, especially back when Efren was at his peak. Efren rolls the ball...

Oh, believe me... I can relate. I've been in situations where I've had to take a big percentage of things I do best --- my absolute strong suits --- and put them in a closet in my head and leave them there for an entire event. You're lucky in a lot of ways because those conditions are always...
