do anyone of you experience the same dilemma of having eye problems? just want to share and express my frustrations that I'm having right now. I recently have 3 vision distortions. before, I had only one condition in my left eye where I see a distorted image of a line rather than a straight...

I dunno, but if I remembered correctly on her previous matches in female tournaments, she doesn't play this so damn slow. I dunno if it's part her deliberate strategy to get her opponent off-sync or whether she is just being extremely cautious. maybe it's nerves, I dunno. but what is certain...

a previous thread about Shanelle created some bit of controversy about her getting much attention, sponsorship deals because of her looks. most, if not all of those who reacted not in favor of this and seems unfair to them are females. some say she shouldn't be getting such deals because is not...

why does the CB pops out of the table? any of these are true? 1. hit the CB too low? 2. object balls are racked loose? 3. object balls are dirty? 4. hit the front object ball half of it's side at full speed? 5. you are just one heck of a wrecking crew?

I believe Joven got some potential, but there are two weakness in his game that I didn't fail to notice everytime. when he is on the verge of a run-out and the easiest table layout, he always chokes. forget all those wonderful shots that he made before that if he can't even finish it. call it...

played last night with a newly installed tip (EM milkdud). I'm back to playing 13mm again. was playing just fine eventhough I fell short on a few shots due to the adjustment from 12mm to 13, missing a ball or two opening. pocketing was great as hell and managed to fluke a ball once. was crashing...

I'm not sure how does that APA league or some players in the APA, rank the players based on their pool skills. I know that the rankings will be based upon how you performed in your matches or simply your W-L record standing, but do you guys have any thoughts on what pool skills do this people...

I know that some of us might not enjoy playing rotation since the game is quite that not easy as compared to playing 8-ball. also regarding the fact that some of us are not that accustomed to playing it or skilled enough to have superb control on the CB. so here are few pointers that came into...

I'm having thoughts whether if Gym workout could damage your good stroke. I know for a fact that such activity could develop your power breaking skill. but I'm quite unsure if it would damage your good stroking consistency. will a pool player be able to compensate and adjust just the same as...

what happened here is that pocket the 7 at the lower right corner pocket. CB goes down to it's normal path after the initial impact, hits the rail but was killed almost instantly after the rebound. the CB did a semi-arch or bounced off the opposite angle. by the way, the CB was struck at above...

IIRC, 13 years of age. same time I began shooting pool. learned it from my oldman and his friends. I just played by mere amusement and despite that, I would say that I win most often than not by shear luck. I was never taught about card strategies such as bluffs, card counting and reading...

years ago... before my eyes were that sharp, I would had preferred using a 13mm tip cue on hitting a very thin or extremely thin long cut shots to the far end of the table. the distance wouldn't matter since I'm hitting the OB just right at the right speed and right spot or angle. over the...

went out to get some action last night. saw someone and asked to play me. 8 ball rules were not mentioned since I thought it was unnecessary, big mistake. so my opponent fouled, so I took BIH which surprised him. asked me why I took the CB, I said you fouled. then he says "NO", ball stays where...

We've heard alot about pool sharks, I guess we also have something about pokersharks as well, since pool and poker games are played in the same arena. I think that both co-existed with each other, thanks to our gambling friends. So here is one experience I had with such person or a shark. I...

I believe all of us know how a banger plays. for we all started from that. as far as I can remember, this was were the things I noticed when I was starting out. 1. totally misses the CB during the break 2. miscues the CB 3. double hits the CB 4. hits the CB accidentally while trying to line...

Would the U.S. pool community be willing to organize a rotation pool event in their circuit? I think it's time for this game to reclaim it's place as a skilled pool game. bankpool has been included, 10-ball is the new pill, 1P is an entertaining game and 14.1 is regaining it's momentum again. so...

I know this shot may not be a big deal and may appear simple to a lot of us. but I believe it takes an imagination to consider this option of a shot and not just bang away. what do you think of the person's speed who considers this and makes this shot? is he a banger or a C player? the guy got a...

I had just witnessed one of the most painful match in 9-ball some hours ago. it's between Django and Nick. and to tell you how much it pains me to see these two players appear helpless while waiting for a chance at the table. surely, if either player makes a ball on the break it's almost an...

heard the prince of Brunei entered the WPC event. as we all know, everyone must undergo a qualifying event sanctioned by the WPC Committee inorder to play in the annual WPC. now, as I've read in the players' profile, the prince only played and reached the semifinal in the Brunei Open. inspite...

Yesterday, I went out with my wife to try and look for a cue for her personal use. since she's still in the initial phase of enjoying the game, I didn't want to disappoint her and diminish her learning the game by buying a cheap cue that doesn't hit good or atleast shoot straight. so we went to...
