    personal discovery in stroke

    I am not sure which instructor, but IIRC there is a fairly will known instructor (of the pros) that makes players do a drill where you lay the cue on the rail and shoot shots one handed.

    What's in your JB Case? - WIN A CASE.

    I guess you could say I play mostly at Stingers and BullShooters in Phoenix.......(or wherever there is a tournament I can enter pretty much Arizona, Las Vegas, Cali.)...The last tournament I played in was at Griffs in Las Vegas. I don't carry a ton of stuff in my case....but here is my custom...

    Learn with an aiming system or not

    Meh....Same old forum....This thread (like all of them) got derailed from the OPs post with meaningless banter that could have been done via PM.:rolleyes:

    Learn with an aiming system or not

    Here is my opinion...(for what it is worth) First ask yourself...what exactly is an "aiming system"....I compare an aiming system to what a carpenter would call a measuring tape, ruler, protractor, etc.....These are all "tools" that the carpenter uses to get a "feel" of where to make the final...

    Pool Room Genius Stories

    This thread reminds me of the time some of us were playing a ring game on the action table near the register counter. Two guys with girl friends in tow came up to get some balls for a table...One girl asks her boyfriend....Why are they only using 10 balls.....His reply...."They are...

    I've tried everything, need you guy's & Gal's help !!!

    I doubt you will read this in any book or have a BCA instructor tell you to do this...(until they read this and try it)...Everyone (I ever spoke with) usually says the same thing...."force yourself to stay down"...or force yourself to stay down until the ball is pocketed...etc. etc..........but...

    Do you change your grip a lot?

    No...my power draw grip is the same as a normal speed stroke....However....on a power shot...I make extra sure my grip is correct (for the way I grip the cue) on that shot....I want to make sure my stroke remains straight with no deviations.... My grip pressures are the same also between a...

    Everything Is So Clear To Me Now......

    Banger is a relative term....from my experience....90% of the people that post on here are bangers when playing against Efren.....100% against Chuck Norris:wink:

    Do you change your grip a lot?

    Proper grip leads to proper stroke....Improper grip leads to improper stroke..... I can't think you will be able to use the same exact grip for every pool stroke on the table...However...I think you want to keep your grips as consistent as possible so that your stroke and game are as consistent...

    Is This a Legal Shot?

    Ummmm foul......nice gimmick though.......but the CB path was a dead give away.. Funny thing is.....since I have a table sitting right behind me....I decided to put on my Mythbusters hat........ I tried setting this up so I could reproduce the shot....I actually could make it per his method...

    How Would You Get Out?

    I would not argue those that go two rails here.....on paper and the higher the skill level...that is probably the way to go....but for those of use that only get out once or twice a week...going one rail has less chance of getting hooked behind the 8.....more likely one rail you end up short or...

    How Would You Get Out?

    Pretty much just center CB...One rail to shoot the 6 in pocket B......The only thing you need to do is "favor" the right side on contact with the CB just so you don't "unintentionally" put TOI on the ball and kill the running english it will pick up on contact, of the 5... I like the one rail...

    How Would You Play This? 2/20/2014

    If you are gambling and want to extend your action....just play it off of the point of the side pocket...back out for a straight in 9...whew!!! I almost scratched!! ..:wink: You mention that the cloth was new....If the cloth has slide the draw may not take the draw like you want and you may...

    Thinking about going Pro

    Does not matter which one you pick...do both for that matter.....just don't forget to factor in the third "P".........Two make it....one takes it. Me personally I chose to be a professional ameature at both....and yes...the third one still takes it.

    Can't Improve. Should I quit?

    I was going to say take two weeks off before you quit...but someone already beat me to that.... So...I will say this...If you read between the lines of what you said and what has been posted...you will see the secret....develop your stroke from what comes natural to your body...you can't force...

    What's your move?

    Fire the 5 - 7 combo to make the 7...the 5 caroms down table to break up the 9/8....then simply shoot the 5 in the lower right corner...8 in the side...9 in the same corner as the 5.....no problem..................or I may consider doing it the hard way and shoot the 7 and 8 in the same lower...
