I'm a purveyor of English, nearly never do I hit centerball. New teammate, 10 yrs ago, commented he don't understand how I can make the cue ball do the weirdest things on the table. He tried it, never again. But he wins tourneys once in a Blue Moon. I've been learning "my thing" since mid 50s on...

One time this, really good player, Tim broke. When the balls stopped, I then under my breath to my partner said, "his 7 is going to be his problem ball". He started on his run out only to find he couldn't get to that wide open 7 to either corner pocket. After missing it, he looks up at me & says...

In a sly way I was meaning some players trot (clop-clop) around & around the table seemingly endlessly surveying every possible shot. Only to miss the 1st one then commence to blame some movement or noise for their miss. Seen this A LOT more often the past 3 years.

4 way rasp? HOOF FILE does it quicker.

This post isn't directed at anyone in particular. Did you not play well before nothing said warp? You're mind is not on the game if it's on the warp. .

I've recovered tables for over 1/2 century now and I prefer a slow rolling ball on the bare slate for leveling. Most of my jobs are not the higher end customers. Many times the cloth chosen/purchased by customer has imperfections which will cause ball roll-offs. I do inform the customer of...

I find them on sale. If not then I have the means to make it.

$80?!?!?! SHAT... I'd use a concrete sidewalk before spending that much. hummm... gives me an idea . . .

In Kenosha, Wi. there's a pool league that deems this table is level. YES that cue ball did pick up speed to drop in the pocket otherwise the speed was enough to lay at or on the rail. .

I picked up a Measles Ball & noticed no difference between the Red Dot, Red Circle or Aramith ball. I've noticed when I put it on the table for league practice the guys would take longer lining up the shot. What I observe is they're distracted by the dots & when they miss blame it on the...

No idea where I picked up this ball set. Curious if anyone has info of this style of balls. .

Interesting idea. Sets a row of balls for consistent practice shots. You'll find which angle(s) gives you issues, even pro's have them. . . .

Keep buying them beer until you win. OK-ok, seriously... Watch others how they stroke, position, shooting style, etc.. It's FREE tuition. Find what might work for you and practice, A LOT. .

There are millions of players persona's in sports... here's a special one. . .

I did it for $12 back in the early 1990s to a different mfg table, American Heritage, with a short skirt. Took about an hour for the returns, 1 hr for the tray. The returns were dark brown and blended well with the dark wood. .

THANKS GUYS for the help (my teammates are useless in that dept). When I hard top roll, my tip extends beyond the cue ball momentarily until the forward roll grabs the cloth. I have sightly Whippy Meucci's. They bend UP then whip down onto the cue ball. I've lowered the tip a little, shortened...

Last night I did some different angles on Power Top Rolls. Found 2 issues. 1- Leveled the stick and use a higher tip contact. Can't do that when OB is real close to the CB. 2- In the past, my follow through always seem to double hit the ball. So at point of contact I began lifting the tip with...

Bob J.: That's quite possibly what I'm doing sub-conscientiously, lowering my tip. Will work on that tonight. Measureman: I'll have to setup my phone's video to see that jump along with the possible poor follow through stroke. THANKS ALL.

I'm a fan of open bridge on most shots but when it comes to draw & power forward closed bridge is a must. With max draw shots I've learned to create a slight jump shot so the cue ball loses near zero reverse at impact. Doing that on power forward causes cue & object ball jumping thus losing 'X'...

I'm looking for info how to get power top roll on the cue ball. I've watched several Mike Massey's video's but getting more forward roll than cue stick speed eludes me. My draw shots are fine to great so I figured the top roll must be similar, it isn't. I know that follow through is key and...
