I am working to get myself into the controlled break game for 8-9-10. So I am researching how to find those sweet spots. My one pocket break is ok but iffy on scratching if I don't get the hit right. my straight pool needs alot of work.

Hello everyone, I am posting this here as a discussion, I have witnessed the amount of knowledge and ability from all the members to help each other and even myself. I searched for info here on this and did not find anything robust. MY break is ok, I can thunder clap the pop and...

Mitch I fully agree and we tried to be cheerful and helpful to the player. I agree that the other team likely did not bring the player up to speed. As for the three foul rule on a lesser player. If they are cocky and boastful, it could be the humbling experience they need. If they are simply...

Jim, There is no handicap. Except for the fact that its nine ball, which as well all know means any slop win is a win and you miss late in a run and it is likely your opponent will win.

I agree with you jokrswylde. It was the attitude and despite us being as nice and as helpful as possible It just felt wrong overall. We tried to explain several things to the player but she wasn't hearing it. Sounds like she has found out BCA is not for her and will back to what makes her happy...

We do have a women on our team she is about a 500 Fargo level player. I mainly spoke out as it will become a further downfall to the sport without adjustment and I would prefer to help players in this mindset but not sure how or if It could be done. . BBB you can never offend me at least.

Not even sure where to file this. The other week myself and The BCA 9 ball team I am on was warming up and about to start when a younger lady from the other team came over to ask us if we where the other team and we said yes. She said she was fresh transplant from APA. Then...

It is not how I am playing or trying to play. Just through working on trying to figure mental adjustments to increase my mental feel of pocketing balls. It is something I discovered and was wondering what it meant really I guess. At the end of the day all these things are just tiny parts of...

I had to go through the motions again as I am at work now. The ball of my right foot was not changing location just rotating some. So I aligned the balls and got down and checked them. Then stood up without moving my right foot "I'm right handed". Then Pivot my right foot to what we are calling...

First that is a great diagram!. Yes this is exactly what I am inferring. With the green line being my starting point of the shot and the base placement of my stance. Then pivoting my entire body and stance to the blue line. Note: I am not holding the green line stance and hitting the blue.

yes or correct.

Hello Everyone, Todays aiming query. So since I started this thread my cut issue is much more aligned and I would say I have cut my miss window in half on the shots angles we discussed. It still need work and like everything in pool is a ongoing growth path. This morning I was working...

Sixpack, Thanks for chiming in. You basically described the situation I was/am still kind of in, to a tee. I still Dog my runs too often and only time adjustments and practice will fix that. With that said and after a lot of personal reflection and Knowledge from players here and in my...

Hello everyone, I know there is already an older post on this instructor but I wanted to start my own with fresh ink. I would like to give Matt Sherman the praise I feel he deserves. I recently posted up on variable issues namely in 8 ball pattern play I was struggling with and got...

Pretty sure my ghost is a clown. Extremely good player, despite the big red shoes.

I am not going to disagree with you on that regard and I get that we build memories incorrectly in our minds often times. I was just trying to highlight I could play well enough at one time and am working on growing that direction the best I can and appreciate everyone taking their time to give...

All these examples are solid advice: My progress is improving but is ongoing as well I think sharing some backstory here is also a good idea. I once already was a solid player In my opinion. I think I even have been apart of this forum before but I cannot recall for sure. I...

Thanks for the input. I downloaded Tor's book. I am prob going to livestream my practice on my youtube. If the group is interested in watching and chiming in with help or just general support. Looking to grow myself upward and help those below my level and any I can as I grow forward. I feel I...

I have been told recently by some Higher skill level players that my patterns in 8 ball could be better, Seems when I get BIH. I will choose my problem balls to get them cleared away but while giving up better patterns to up my percentage. The bigger deal is I just did not even see the pattern...

On these shots I currently draw a imaginary line across the contact point then estimate the edge of the CB and create a cross with that center line focused on a center CB hit to start. . Then look at my guessed distance to cut/ hit the contact point and see if the timing and throw will create...
