Now that you put it that way, I guess drills are suppose to bring up similar situations during game play. But I'm not sure if it is the case...maybe to an extent. I can put in 8 hour days at the table, and still get drilled by the top 25% locals, so all my practicing really does nothing to...

I should be asking you for advice.

If you are trying to work on your fundamentals you should tell us what you think they are. Some of the guys on here can actually tell you right or wrong. Looks like you were just hitting balls with no direction with the cue ball. I think if you are making balls during practice...you're not...

I guest you guys have history. That's kinda funny tho. How is TAR offspring of IPT? Nevermind...I am someone unaware of all this and will leave this thread alone. Apologizes for anything said that may have offended anyone. Good luck with legitimizing pool as a spectator sport.

What do you suggest from your experience as a pool player to make pool better than what is it now, that would be so different than something like the IPT? On a sidenote...do you really think it is appropriate to ask me and justnam to get together and discuss a topic you apparently feel is a...

Why would we need ESPN? IPT was scheduled to air on a non-sports channel. It had regular running commercials. All the drama and excitement of watching your favorite players and entertainers was what got me into wanting to watch it. Even if I hardly play pool I would tune in to see whats...

I would love to go to dirby or us open. other than that I don't know much of tourneys.

Thanks. I see how that can be a pretty bad situation for him to defend against...especially if she is known to be an upfront and honest person. But what about ransoming someones boobie pictures? isn't that somewhat outlandish?

I had no idea that he was accused of that. I don't know marisa or charlie to be able to say he should be charged with such a horrible act. I'm not defending his actions....just want to know more of the facts to be a better judge. So far, all I gather is this girl, Marissa, left her door...

I was told there are about 4-5 guys in the country that plays top speed. These guys have dedicated their life to the game. Each step of the way were enormous barriers. While some are known, how is it possible to know what they know unless they tell you? Any information other than what you hear...

Are you saying that there are less people in the real world that can have a civil discussion than people here? Or are you saying that you are the type who likes to resort to violence as a means because I don't see anything in this thread worthy of anyone getting hurt over. We have done nothing...

There are city run facilities for avid volleyball players. The city organized these weekly events for their residents. If you are from out of town you may pay 2$ more than the usual 3$ to play all night with some of the best players in town. I know it is city run because I had an incident with...

I think you need to go over the posts again before saying that I insinuated anything...or that I "Don't know shit". It's cool that you are sticking up for someone if he actually was being attacked. But after reading your post again it seems your opinion is a little inconsiderate of all the...

But that was my point. I never said anything like that for him to infer that I dislike are disagree with what he is doing for pool. He made the comment " Buy a pool table if you don't want to pay the guy for buying one". If I said something along the line of " industry people are leeching of...

You know what? what's with this negativity? I never said specifically that people such as yourself are leeches. I just supported Holly's statement about changing certain things about pool, supporting that idea in a sense that other sports supports their players more by having outside money...

"Demand" may have been a poor choice of word. I wrote quite a few paragraphs supporting the statement but decided to leave just the post as is. I meant nothing negative about you or anyone in the industry. I would rewrite what was written and erased but I feel you are capable of understanding...

The sport is not dead, just the purity of it is clouded with all the nonsense. I'm lucky because I have a player on call...lol...blessed. Very few of you can say you have something like that. So for me, it's not dead. I can call the guy right now and he can go over the phone exactly where I'm at...

I was not referring to previous incidents with people in the industry. I meant that the industry is less supportive of its athletes compared to other sports that have facilities, equipment, and money to give to their players from the money they make off them.

Yeah but that is just state of the world. Everything is experiencing a down turn for a while now. When things pick up so will our numbers.

I think pool epitomize the word "INDUSTRY". It is the only sport that demands more from players than any other.
