Alright, Thanks everyone. I'm definitely going to try some things I've just heard but it probably wont get better overnight. but I've got a good 60+ years left to perfect it lol. Knock on wood.

So I've been playing for maybe 3 or 4 years by now, and I turned 17 this summer. My game is alright I guess, but I am almost certain that my stroke is whats holding me back. You always here people talk about the bottle drill and all of that but that doesn't exactly solve the problems. So I am...

gag me....................

okay, I looked into it and since st. peters is pretty far away, would it be possible for me to qualify at baxter's and start from there? I've got a friend interested too...

The Gateway Amateur Tour (8-ball, sponsored by Viking Cues) is coming up and I was wondering how "good" the players are in an amateur tournaments and tours. I can run a rack maybe every seventh or eighth rack when I'm on an 8 footer. Is this good enough to at least win a few games or should...

then you probably just missed it..

This bar has its own team in the league. I just don't want to post any more names because that could be even more problems. I understand where you're coming from though..

Did you read the entire thread..

Im not gunna say where the tournament was at because I don't want any more problems too arise. My opponent told me that Zim's Rack leagues were a modified set of APA rules, so I gues we were all wrong. As for joining the league I thought about it but with sports and school it would be kind...

To start I wasn't in anyway trying to bash Mike Zimmerman, I was just wanting him to reply so he could clarify the rules because its his league. So im sorry if that offended you Mike. I don't have anything against him, and honestly Ive even been looking into him making a cue for me...

So tonight I entered a double-elimination pool tournament at the local bar and maybe 15 people showed up to play. I lost my very first game and got dropped down into the losers bracket. I eventually won a bunch of consecutive games and worked my way into the championship (not a f*&%$#! clue...

Michael Zimmerman There is also guy in southern illinois called Michael Zimmerman. He makes custom cues and I've heard a lot of good things about him. He's got entire leagues and tournaments set up. Got to http://www.zimsrack.com/ZCC/ZimmermanCustomCues.html I also think he has...

By a tight grip being a death grip he is saying that it will hurt your game, not that its impossible. And I really dont get why people fight on here, its kind of lame lol.

we dibt have football or wrestling at our school and I live like 40 miles from you by the way lol

Its amazing how irritated people get though. They get down 5 or 10 and they start to ***** and complain. But some of them are so bad you just hate to not take their money lol.

something tells me in 2 years you will look back and be like wow....... :banghead: but in the meantime, after a few minutes people will get used to the cue ball being different but people are stubborn so good luck making a go of it lol

What is the f___ing point of this thread if you won't say the name... You say that you want to be heard but its kind of useless without his name. Its like walking a picket line with a blank sign, does no good to anyone. Just say the name so people can learn from it, if the cuemaker...

I read the article that Johnnyt just posted and it made me think a little bit. The main place I play is a little bar in the back of a hotel. Being by far the youngest person that ever goes there (16 years old), I wouldn't be very difficult to beat the crap out of. I like playing for money...

I think the main problem with pool is video games. There is one kid besides me in my high school that actually plays pool. Granted there are only maybe 350 kids in it, probably 150 of those kids play video games at least 20 hours a week. Kids won't play pool because it takes more time to...

Right now I'm hitting with a 5280 sneaky pete that swerves like hell. I'm looking into a new cue but I don't know if it should be a custom or just a production cue with a good shaft. I'm leaning towards a Dominiak but other than that I'm clueless. All advice needed, thanks
