I really think thats it... I know I think too much about those things when I'm playing in tournaments.. but I don't know how to stop.. :mad: I try to "let go" and play like I know I can when I'm not worried about anything, but its so hard sometimes to be able to do that.

lol.. good one Snorks. :) Too bad you can't play.. maybe you should consider a road trip and come watch. :p

Thanks everyone for all your advice... :) I'm going to try and find someone that could help me out or give me lessons because I'm sure I'm doing something wrong and need to make some adjustments.... Jimbojim... I'll be arriving Saturday morning at the Provincials.. just come up and introduce...

That must be it... now that I have my own table.. I'm used to playing bare in the privacy of my own home and can't play in poolrooms with clothes on!!! ha ha .. lol.. :p ok seriously now.. :) I didn't play THAT bad at the last tournament, I just wasn't happy with the results.... but yes I would...

Maybe I am focusing on my arm and stance too much without realizing it. I know you have to learn to let go when you are competing and let your body and mind do what they are trained to do, but thats easier said than done. I have my provincial championships in two weeks, so what ever rut I'm in...

I guess this is more of a rant, but if anyone has any ideas or advice, please help me! :) Does anyone have any idea whats going on with my game? I bought my table a little over a month ago and have been practicing quite a bit. I did some minor changes to my stance and stroke for the better. My...

It depends on my mood really... but I usually never warm up more than 1/2 hour-45 minutes... alot of the time I just walk in a play. If I do warm up, I always stop playing 15 minutes or so before my match and take time to relax. I also rarely shoot in between matches... .. but maybe this is a...

Well I'm also from the Ottawa area and I have to be honest that I am not looking forward to this red cloth either. I played on red cloth once and I did have a headache afterwards. I also hate using the red chalk and don't like being told what colour of chalk to use on my own cue. I will try the...

I will have to recommend www.thewinningstroke.com . Thw owner Steve is located in the Gatineau, Ottawa area and has a very good rep among us and many others across Canada. I can guarantee great service. :)

I guess my situation is sort of the opposite of everyones... I play pool while my future husband doesn't.. :) We met in high school when we were 15 years old almost 13 years ago and have been pretty much attached at the hip ever since. We both played pool at the local arcade once in a while...

Here is my bar inside my igloo

Alain Martel used to give lessons, and I think he still does. http://www.webillard.com/cours-de-billard-martel.htm

I wish that were me playing at the BCA event.. unfortunatly I haven't played in a WPBA event YET, not even a qualifier. Hopefully next year though or maybe later this year. :) I would say that Luc Salvas was speaking of Myriam Lafranchise who is also from Quebec. He was/is her coach, and she has...

I can't get over how some people are so immature. Who the f**k cares how she looks, this is a game of skill and not a stupid beauty pagent. Marina is a talented young girl and I wish her all the best. go get em Marina!!!!!! :)

what are you suggesting PoolSponge? lol Don't forget about Marina Linguerri though. I would put her as pretty much the top Ottawa female. (But I'm from Gatineau, so its ok.. ;) )

I'll be there, but playing in the Womens Amateur this year.

2 hours at the most.. I go to Brossard every year for the Provincials and probably the 8-ball Nationals if they are held there again this year.

Gatineau, quebec here. :)

Well since you are my sponsor, I have to say great site.. :)) :D

My boyfriend doesn't even play pool.... thank God he lets me go out every night to practice and travel to tourny's all over the place and he doesn't have a problem with it... :) I'm one of the lucky ones I guess.
