True story. In 1968 I had to go downtown to see an executive in a high rise building for a few minutes. I was holding my 18 month old daughter with her facing over my shoulder as we got on the elevator. There was a Black lawyer, executive or some such in his three piece suit and $100.00...

I tend to agree with 336 Robin. Over the years the teams with two or three people seemed to draw more people and they seemed to have the most fun. It is easy enough to have two or more flights with lower handicapped in one flight and better players in a second flight. The key is advertising...

One other thought that may or may not appeal. We noted that team tournaments attracted 100 or more players for a one or two day tournament. Have three player teams with rules that say all players must have similar handicaps from any of several different leagues. Teams with handicaps of 3 - 5...

Put together a brochure that details what you will do to hold a tournament.Emphasize the advertising you will / have sold and the potential number of players who will be in attendance with an estimate of how much money each player might spend. Send your brochure with a letter to all the pool...

Some additions that complement the Teaching Code and your summary. 1. Real teachers think there is no such thing as a stupid question. Student questions tell the teacher about the student and where the student is in the learning process. This is the place to start teaching. 2. Real teachers...

Wishing you the best for a speedy recovery -- it does happen. Warm Regards, Joe Waldron

I would recommend a few long visits to Dr Dave's web site. http://billiards.colostate.edu/ See especially http://billiards.colostate.edu/bd_articles/2012/april12.pdf There is a great deal of useful information on his site including videos that address many topics. His books are also...

I agree, Lil Joe's CDs are among the best. works available. Welcome to the board. There is lots of good information here.

Well .... we have a fellow in our room who has a few emotional problems. He is 50 or so and probably has an attention disorder and is hyperactive among other things. He has not been doing too well learning to play pool but has kept at it for a few months.' Two of us have been helping him quite...

You might find this article of interest, several others have found the ideas useful. The link is to three newspaper articles I wrote several years ago and then combined into one paper. At points it is is a bit redundant. I just never had the inclination to revise it...

Has anyone effectively removed ballpoint pen stains from Simonis 860? Chemistry web says to use isopropanol, shaving cream, hair spray (dicey) and or carpet stain remover. I am looking for an answer from someone who has experience removing this type of stain. The writing stain is not too heavy...

Two things absolutely solved my standing up. 1. Just before you take your first practice stroke. Shift your weight to the rear by two to six inches. In addition to helping you stay down, you also get a better perspective on the stick and where the tip will hit the cue ball. It takes practice to...

With over 25 years as a university professor and past recognition for my teaching I can speak to this issue. When I was younger I paid far too much attention to individual student evaluations. There could be 28 positive evals and two highly critical. It seems that human nature is to focus in on...

Enjoyed the match and your win. Congrats Lou.

Maxed out awhile ago but numbers don't mean much. Some of the comments are apparently semi-private, at least I doubt the authors would appreciate having them listed.

Click on the Control Panel and review "Last Reputation Received." The number is useless because a few years ago "buddies" continually repped each other to drive their numbers up. However the comments can be interesting. While you can "red" rep someone as a negative comment. It is not a good...

As has been said, the numerical system is broken. Probably of more use is the section in the Control Panel that lists the last 20 comments you received. These comments from people you do not know are more indicative of your contributions to the board. I give the green rep sparingly and only...

Should have added that to my post. Thanks for reminding me. My face has to stay square with the shot line. That is, each eye is at a 90 degree angle to the shot line.

After reading and studying the eye dominance problem for awhile here is my solution. It may or may not work for others. First, I have a tendency to be slightly right eye dominant with a preference for the cue under the right side of my nose. I force myself to shoot with the cue under my chin...

There is no discussion with people who absolutely know. For my part I prefer the reasonably unbiased replicated empirical findings from qualified observers. But then, I have nothing to sell, only ideas for thoughtful minds to consider. My contributions to this thread are completed.
