    What book to get

    Might I suggest Capelle's Practicing Pool, and the IPAT series (you can pick one that suits your skill level). The information contained in these titles are not only useful, but actionable. I have found that these are both great resources for structuring practice sessions and measuring progress...

    Warm up strokes

    Thanks Fran and Scott, these comments are very reassuring! Especially since I found myself, after a month of working on the consistent routine, naturally doing exactly the same calibrating/fiddling/movement aiming before a set routine at my league last night!

    Warm up strokes

    (disclaimer: not an instructor) In several of his books, Phil Capelle teaches a variable warmup routine--recommending that one shoots only when the "green light" goes off in your head. I have been doing this for a couple of years, and sometimes the green light goes off after 2-3 strokes...

    Cue Storage

    Hello all, I just read a thread re: taper roll (http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=236522) and now am feeling that non-straight cue paranoia. What's the best practice for storing cues at home? I typically just keep them in the case and try to keep the case as vertical as possible...

    WTB: cheap joint protectors

    Thanks for the tip Junkie. I haven't seen too many different joints, and compared to my other 5/16x14 joints, 5/16x18 was what I thought it was. But the shafts don't fit each other--the piloted shaft will screw down about half way and then gets too tight, the flat-faced shaft will only go in a...

    Your greatest Shark Tactics

    You're twisting the words and the intent of my post, man. I'm looking for feedback so I won't be perceived as sharking. You might be right, but methinks that's another part of my game that needs work on--and not in the way you think. Anyway a lukewarm up to the OP for stirring up...

    Your greatest Shark Tactics

    "Unintentional" sharking I don't shark, but still find the information on this thread is pretty valuable. Not only to spot a shark when (or before) I see one, but also to prevent myself from unintentionally sharking somebody, when I am actually trying to be a good sport. Is this sharking? A...

    WTB: 360 Purecue action trainer

    Seen here: http://www.gravitycue.com/ Surely someone must have already developed a permanent dead stroke with it and now has no need for it. I'd prefer it to be the 2-piece US pool version, but would consider the 1-piece or the snooker version as well. cho
