    Practice Time

    I think you hit it right on for me Andrew. I actually spent a couple hours with Bob Jewett about a month ago and he helped me develop a correct stroke, bridge and pre shot routine to work on and I have honestly seen my game take a step up since then. I am just glad that I know that what I am...

    Practice Time

    How much pratice time do you think is necessary to improve your game? If I was to practice give or take 5 hours a week, would that be enough to improve my game or just enough to keep it from falling back? I know it is somewhat dependent on the persons learning curve and the type of practice...

    Driving to Reno from California

    I'm in Sacramento and it hasn't stopped raining since yesterday. I checked the weather report and it is supposed to be snowing through the summit all week. Bring chains, drive slow, and allow 4 to 5 hours drive time from Sacramento to get there.

    Dennis Orcullo - World Bar Table Champ

    From watching Orcullo, Parica and Petralba this weekend, they actually struck me as being the nicest and most down to earth guys. As much as I saw "the american" players analyzing every gap of every rack, the Filipino players very rarely checked the rack. They were all very approachable and...

    Oroville info

    Archer was playing Orcullo in the finals when I left. Archer won the first set 9-7 and I just couldn't stay long enough for the second set. The finals of the team was going on when I left. The team from the winners side was up but I'm not sure the exact score. They pretty much dominated it...

    Oroville info

    Glen Atwell just beat Amar Kang on the losers side. It was hill-hill and Amar broke and scratched on the break. Atwell almost had Archer the round before. I think he was up 7-3 at one point and was on the hill but Archer pulled it out in the end. Charlie Bryant and Ames, I think his name...

    I'm not sure how the breakdown of the prize money, but there is $30,000 added to the nine ball and $15,000 added to the team. I'll try to find out while I am there today how the payout works.

    smooth shaft

    I got my sample of the Slipstic cleaner/conditioner today and put it on and was amazed at how much smoother the shaft is. It was so nice that I went right to seyberts and ordered the set. I haven't tried anything else, but with the results I got from my initial use, I don't feel the need to.

    Need test group - Billiard rooms and players

    I received my sample today as well and couldn't wait to use it. I couldn't be more impressed with the results. The shaft I have is about 10 years old and was fairly well maintained, but I didn't realize just how smooth it could actually be. Will definitely be picking up a bottle. Thank you...

    Hopefully Jessie will be coming to Oroville for the bar box tourney this week. I'll have to keep my eyes open for him.

    predator shaft

    Most common comparisons would be the OB-1 shaft and the universal shaft.

    Tip suggestions

    The best advice would to buy a mixture of tips, soft, med, hard, very hard and see what you prefer. I would hold off spending $20 on a Moori if you're not sure how hard a tip you like. I bought a selection of Talisman's and a few Tiger's and will play around until I find what I like. I...

    Looking for new VPH (Virtual Pool Hall) players

    I think the scam is in the spam that keeps getting posted. If he would have taken the time to answer a question or two, I might have looked into it.
