Thanks, CJ!! I watched the TOI ppv and had a chance to practice it a little bit. WOW! C 2 C hit is almost automaic! I didn't have to calibrate anything. C2E is where I can see I need some calibration on my shooting, but still WOW! I realized that subconsciously I shot all my shots using your...

not an instructor here either, but the first two things that stood out for me after watching the video. 1. The stance . it's hard to tell exactly what's wrong with it looking from that angle, but you appear to stand uncomfortable. 2. There's is NO pause or almost no pause before your final...

had my first 50 run yesterday. Without the break, just threw balls on the table and ran them with no order.

I never measured the size of the pockets, I see no difference in which pocket to shoot the ball if I can see the shot, I usually make it. But there's something about Valley that makes it "one of a kind". When I started practicing , I started to come up with different drills and exercises on my...

Wow! I thought that my stroke was the weakest part of my game, that's why I work on it all the time and that's why I posted the video to see any flaws. But it turns out that it might be the strongest element of my game, if I understand all the comments correctly.

Thanks! Now I see what I did wrong on the first shot, If I drew the ball a little bit, I would have a lot easier out. Also now I noticed that I hit almost all the shots too hard. The reason I shot the second and third ball like that, mostly was because I did realize it was a bar box with huge...

Thanks for your input. I rarely get an access to a pool table and practice at home on a dresser which I made into an improvised pool table (covered it with used table cloth), where I practice my stroke using just a cue ball. When I get a chance, I always go to the pool hall, I really understand...

Thanks! I am trying to learn how to shoot softer and the speed control is the weakest part of my game, but I am working on it. Believe me, if you saw me a couple years ago , when I picked up the cue for the first time, I was really pounding those balls in. As far as the bridge, I tried the...

I went to shoot some 8 ball tonight with my friend Mike and also to try the video camera on my new phone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FVsfg0f988&feature=youtu.be Mike was getting cocky and thought that he would beat me easy. He left himself bad on the 8 ball and miscued while trying to bank...

When I started to learn pool, one time I had a chance to play with a master player and I asked the same question. He told me - " looking at the cue ball last when shooting pool is like looking at the dart instead of the dartboard or looking at the gun instead of the target when shooting".

In this video he made it and I believe it was more than 20 yards away. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPv8fqCntKA I can ask him what he looked at when shot this shot.

Question for C.J. Actually I am seeking your expertise and experience. In this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=MMKH7xHqYWA Does Stalev use T.O.I.? His position play seems so perfect and the ball floats where he wants it.

3- foul him in 9-ball a dozen games in a row and see what he says. If you can't do it yourself, find someone who can and see what your buddy says about safeties then.

I am a newbie, but here's my two cents: not until a short time ago I had the same problem, especially when I was trying to power draw. I either missed the shot completely or tensed up at the last moment and miscued or jumped the ball. I "tried" hard to draw and couldn't. Then I changed my...

I will try

Since I started to play pool recently, I started to notice one thing... I have been playing guitar since I was a kid and now I compare pool cues to guitars... In a way... They are similar. How they look, how they feel, how they hit, how much they cost, etc... Of course I can pick up a walmart...

I am sorry, I thought it was here. Is there a way to move it to NPR?

I went to the jazz college with these guys about 30 years ago. Now they're recording a CD in Seattle. They travel all over the world, gig in U.S.A. and back home in Siberia. Check this out . If you like good music you will like the music...

Like many others said before me, you can find a nice player for 30$ and if you know how to play, you still will beat those who can't play, no matter how expensive their cues are. A lot of the people like nice things. I shoot with Lucasi Hybrid LH10 that I bought for 160$ and I am happy with...
