Yea, I've heard of doing that, but do you think the plastic would cause the cue ball to slip?? I don't know, maybe, maybe not. I just had some extra felt lying all over the house.

In the book called, "A Mind for Pool" written by Philip B. Cappelle, it talks a little bit about how to really use english. I just wanted to share some thoughts from the book that I thought were really interesting and helped me improve my game. This guy is a certified instructor and has been...

I would watch it, only if it didnt have all that drama crap. I would watch anything related to pool, as long as it was on public television!

Yes, I have the same problem, although I am getting better! Try this: if you have some extra peices of felt from your table, cut out some squares mesuring about 1x1 inch. Set up a shot that is difficult for you, place the felt under the balls so it will mark your place. Shoot the shot at...

Nice job man, keep up the good work! If it was on a Diamond Pro, then thats pretty good, those pockets are tight. Try moving on down to the 5 ball!

I'm pretty sure that you can have your nose centered over the stick. Thats how I do it and it works pretty good. I've read in a book that you either have to have your dominate eye over the stick or have your head centered over it, so I think your ok! Cut shots are very hard to guage, some...

Thank you BVal, rep for you:).

Yes, if want the cue ball to deflect left of the rail, then hit it on the left side. I think when you contact a object ball first, the deflection switches, so hit the right side to make the object ball go left, but the cue ball will continue to go right. This is called "throw" it will...

I agree, try getting some professional instruction and see if that helps. Untimately I think you should decide, do you love the game? If you love it then keep playing, if it is causing you alot of stress and you dont even really like the game, then try different things to make if more...

Cool! I had no idea. Pool might be a little harder to play in other countires, because you have to find a pool table. Soccer you just have to find a ball.

Yeah, I've heard of that coke bottle thing, it seems to help. Try putting a dime on your arm (have a friend help you) just above your elbow, then take some shots, if the dime falls off then your stroke is off, and vise versa. I should prob. practice those shots too, thanks.

Ahh, I see, so you need a hard tip to jump as well??? Where can you buy these tips? Thanks for helping me guys

I'm not quite ready to buy a break cue yet, so I have a cue I use for breaking, what tip do you guys recommend? I was thinking a hard tip, not sure what brand though. Thank you.

I agree, these shots are very hard for me as well. Try lining up the tip of the cue with the pocket on the other side of the 1 ball. Put the tip on the felt where the center of the cue ball would have to hit, then visualize that spot where you need to hit, line it up and hit it in. Or try to...

Yeah, I wish pool was more popular. I've never seen it in the newspaper...ever. I agree with you though, pool is on its way to the top.

Congradulations to Marina!!! Good luck in future matches!

It's got a 1-year warrenty on it, so I guess I could go ahead and give it a shot. I researched the company that they are getting it from, dltbilliards.com, and it seems pretty good quality. A funny thing about the salesperson there was he tried to sell us a floor model table for like 50$ less...

Wow, thanks for all your info. Well...I do want it cheaper so I guess I wait for 6 more weeks. :( Lol I had not idea that Bruswick was 100% import from China. Haha, I was even thinking about canceling and getting a brunswick, LOL, shows you how informed I am.:D

It's an 8 foot table. Ran about $1800 with tax. Pretty good compared to other brand name tables.

I just ordered a pool table from a local billiards place about 6 weeks ago from today (3-29-07). It is shipped from China so I assume that it is made there. At first I was skeptical about the idea, but then he told me that the cushions were Olhausens own.... Accu-Fast. The slate is 1 1/4 inch...
