    Tensing Up

    I have been working on staying loose during more powerful shots, but still occasionally fall into the old tensing up routine. Does anyone have any tricks they use to keep their arm muscles loose on those long draw shots, break shots, and stronger shots?

    Taper roll - Poll

    A friend of mine noticed a taper roll in my cue last night when he was messing around with it. It does not seem to affect my play at all, but he tried to argue that there is negative impact. Tip and joint still stay flush to table when rolled... so what are your thoughts on the subject?

    What did I do?

    http://CueTable.com/P/?@4IMOj4PbHQ1uAAS@ Hill-Hill against someone that usually kills me. I was feeling good until adrenaline got the best of me on the 8, and I ended up here. Both ball are snug to the rail... I line it up... take the shot... and I am in a world of pure joy as the 9 ball...

    Phenolic Tips Legal Where?

    A friend of mine asked me yesterday, if the pros are allowed to use a phenolic tip in any of the major tournaments. I told him that I assumed not, but was unsure. Any help on the matter would be appreciated.

    Lifting weights and pool

    Do any of you serious players lift weights? My wife finally got me the weight set I have been dying for, but I know even a little soreness will throw off my pool game. Any advice on minimizing the damage to my pool progress?
