    Pro's and Cons of a ball return table

    I took the ball return off my GCII....It was too noisy for the house...I like the sound of the balls going into the drop pockets much better anyway. RKC directed me on where to get drop pockets for a GCII that will hold many many balls in one pocket...are mounted correctly with Allen...

    Aiming 101 please

    The good news is you really don't need to know the contact point on the cb to make a shot....all you really need is an aim point for the CB. Another practice method you can work with that will help you with finding your aim point is a center to center method. Simply put...you aim the center of...

    Applying precision English.....

    Don Rose showed me this method many years ago...It was actually a 3-cushion system...but of course it also works for pool as well.... For kick shots it is a very effective method when the natural angle path is blocked. For shape off an OB...I much prefer Buddy Halls clock method. Keep in...

    If (insert system, method, etc) was good...

    Look at it this way....systems are only tools to help you play the game better...but they don't make you a great player....practice does. I liken it to that of a carpenter.....A good experienced carpenter can take a crappy hammer, an old saw and a basic ruler and make a great cabinet....Many...

    Do any of you VISUALIZE THE SHOT, or the OB Enerting the Desired Pocket

    Sorry don't get on here much anymore No...I like to think of myself as a 9 ball per inning guy.. The triangle is made up of CB to Pocket CB to OB OB to pocket. For some reason when I visualize the triangle formed above I can just simply shoot the CB down the CB to OB line and the OB follows...

    Training for a backstroke pause

    I think the pause is incidental....The more important factor is the tempo of the entire stroke....the pause part (aka....transition) just happens. There is scene in the movie Tin Cup that fits the pool stroke...Roy was being asked about his golf swing....He mentioned that he would think Dollar...

    128 person bar table tournament $$$

    I am guessing the 11 - 15 balls are being removed? If not...You have to factor in the "save a buck" rack when the opponent rakes the last three balls and they use those pluse the 10 - 15 balls.

    Jump Cue: What do you use

    T.M. Jump/Break - $200 You can take the end piece off for a little longer than normal jump cue for long jump shots...you can also remove the middle piece and use just the end piece for short jumps. any monkey can jump with this cue...and it makes even the weakest breaker look good.

    Do any of you VISUALIZE THE SHOT, or the OB Enerting the Desired Pocket

    As part of my own crazy Tsquared alignment method that I developed...I visualize a complete triangle before every shot...it includes the CB path to the pocket.

    What is right with pool?

    It is one of the more challenging sports that is one of the easiest to put "In" your house without breaking the bank. Not many people can afford to put a bowling alley in the house....or a football field or basketball court in the house.....not to mention a golf course! And believe it or...

    What tip keeps its shape and plays good too?

    I tried the Kamui Black Medium, Kamui Black Soft and recently just switched to the Kamui Black Super Soft...I like the SS the best of all of them...It felt to soft at first but after a week or so of play it feels perfect. As far as shape...I was under the impression that a tip keeps a shape...

    soft tips.....am I alone?

    I just switched from the Kamui S to the SS....At first it was too soft...so I did what you are supposedly not supposed to do to a Kamui...I used a pic on it and now it is perfect....don't ask me why
