    The Earl vs Efren Video Collection

    he say that the weights on his arm helps him to stay down on the shot. as far as the gloves, he likes the "feel" holding the stick and sometimes will use a tennis wrap on the butt of his cue, again, likes the "feel". earl is my 2nd best player to watch and maybe top 3 of the commentators.

    Thanks Mark Wilson

    I got the book a few weeks ago and after studying and practicing chapters 3 thru 6 my game improved 20%.....can't wait to start the drills later on in the book. I haven't read many books on this subject, always been "hands on" but I am really impressed not only by the book but the presentation...

    14.1 Is Hard To Learn...NOT

    when I started playing pool more than 50 yrs ago, straight pool was the game I learned first, then 9 ball and bank pool followed. still try to play 14.1 when I can find someone to play along. it is difficult as most want to lay 9 ball or one pocket and I am too old for the 1 pocket game, I may...

    Fair to get bumped off your table by the league?

    good grief.........I used to play tap league but no longer. I was a 6 in that league. there was no other table available so had to go home. the number of games should not matter but we were playing 8 ball and after 20 games and many safeties, that amounts to one game per 9 minutes. I consider...

    ob + cue shafts firm/crisp hit vs quiet/soft

    tried a kamui clear medium that after many hours of play has changed to a hard tip (some glazing too). I do not like the hit right now therefore want a change hopefully for the better. :thumbup:

    ob + cue shafts firm/crisp hit vs quiet/soft

    okay, thanks, I really liked the crisp hit "feel" so will probably go that direction. I miss the feel from my old one piece that I accidentally left in the overhead bin of a plane and that was the end of that! had it for more than 20 years and haven't shot the same since losing it! :frown:

    ob + cue shafts firm/crisp hit vs quiet/soft

    is this a difference in personal preference or type of play (straight pool versus 9 ball)??? I play with a predator 314-2 presently and want a change. looking at the ob plus line of shafts and looking for some direction from those in the know. I tried the ob classic shaft with a crisp hit and...

    Fair to get bumped off your table by the league?

    had the tables been reserved I would have no problem....imho they did not handle it in a fair manner. there was not a problem the week before, it is just the fact that twice as many people showed up the 2nd week. since I am the oldest guy in the room I have seniority! ;) and yes, I will go to...

    Fair to get bumped off your table by the league?

    I am a regular, like 4 or 5 times per week. the league had just started there the week before and there were not that many league players the week before. been playing for 3 years there and never had the problem before. yes I am an important person, I was there first and was unfamiliar with...
