Forgot to reply yesterday. I created/put this together simply to assess which group has the higher run-out chance. Not as a means to determine how to necessarily run the balls out. I'll work on that another time or try to condense the two into a single phrase/acronym.

South Chicago to be exact. Where do you shoot out of? Send me a PM :thumbup2:

For reference I play in Chicago which has a fairly average or slightly above average rating level compared to true Bs and As, etc. Basically, a AA in Chicago is more inclined to be a real AA. Also, I was in Wisconsin playing for a year and their Fargo system is nearly identical to the now...

You bring up another good point. I'm also involved in life coaching and have done a lot of reading and talking with wonderful mentors who inspired me to not be bogged down by negativity. No matter how old you are I believe that whatever dreams/aspirations you have are possible and my goal...

Thank you for the kind words. I was told about a year ago in Wisconsin (and have been told many times) that if I keep going the way I'm going I'll be master-level/top amateur level within 4-5 years. I know I can play pro-speed well within that time as well and I will for sure. What I mean to...

I think I'm going to re-connect with some of my psych teachers to find more information on this but I have a thought. Synaptic pruning is where the "use it or lose it" principal comes from and if you're exposed to something early on in your life then you will retain the ability. If you're...

Playing pool professionally is not my main goal; life coaching is but, I still love pool and want to play every minute of every day. I'm more passionate about this game than many many players (even those who are currently better than me) and I think this passion is responsible for my quick...

On my phone it's only Open, Problems, Blockers, Clusters, Breakers, Key-balls, Starter/Safety/Stop-Shot. The explanation I provided was only for people to read and understand where my mind is at for each point.

I know a lot of players fail to think properly under pressure (myself under league pressure) and I came up with a checklist of what to look for in order at the table. Mathematics has PEMDA for equations. I came up with OPBKBS standing for: Open - Which group is more open. Problems - Where are...

SVB Bergman J. Hall Carlo Biado Igancio/Alex P. Morra/Shaw

I'm still working on it :thumbup:

Here's my take for anyone who cares. Shane is not one of my favorite players - something about his game that I just don't enjoy watching. I've seen many of his matches on YouTube and I think he has some flaws based on intuition (as somebody else said). I can't quite say what it is but it's...

I disagree about format. I love this game, and I'm always hungry to be around it. Because of that I love to watch it regardless of format, equipment or race. I don't care if they're on Valleys or Gold Crowns with cues or broomsticks; I just enjoy this game enough to love watching it. I think...

Well, the common thought held has been that a larger tip increases your accuracy in striking the CB but you sacrifice some spin and please your deflection. As the tip gets smaller your accuracy must become greater and greater but you also gain the ability to spin the ball more and you have less...

The link works and that's pretty close to how I'm positioned when playing. The 90 degree bend was a lot but it did force my body into a better position but there were too many drawbacks to it so I had to go back to the drawing board. After a few months I got it figured out. Good thread...

If you can find a picture to give a visual example that would help. "Bend" seems to be ambiguous here. The bend I was talking about was going from having my elbow at a 135 degree angle to an almost 90 degree angle. That much bend was uncomfortable but I still shoot with my elbow bent at a 135...

Pidge, When I was having problems with a perfectly straight stroke, I was messing around with my body mechanics (literal body mechanics by the way) to see how different bends influence the rest of my body for shooting and I stumbled on this but eventually got rid of it. What bending my elbow...

Literally LOL'ed. Funniest thing I've seen on AZB since the CTE debate. :thumbup: Angel, -Richard

Depends, do the last 3 count on the break and do I get to rack for you? If they don't count on the break, and I get to rack then I'll take that bet. When I quit the APA a few months ago I was a 7 in 9-ball and I've made significant improvements since then. I find it hard to compete under...
