No, but he is a very strong player that I thought someone would add to the list. I had no idea John has been talking about the Mosconi Cup. That means he must be training for the opportunity to represent!

Jay Helfert has a saying that works well in judging a shot like this. Whitey never lies. That is the cueball will tell you by its rebound angle what ball was hit first.

I haven't tipped my hand yet on what my five would be but I will say are you peeking at my cards Satori? Come on...what's your five?

Three things affect a bank shot: Contact point on the object bank, how hard you hit it, and the English applied. This system works as long as you don't apply English or hit the shot harder. Also when the object ball is close to the rail (within one to two ball lengths) it can affect the...

Okay to me the first two are gimme's...Shane Van Boening and Cory Deuel. The third would have to be Justin Bergman but the water starts getting murky after that. You have Oscar Dominguez, Sky Woodward, Brandon Shuff, Earl Strickland, Chip Compton, Joey Gray, Mike Dechaine, Johnny Archer, Alex...

I agree with you Jaden and I would like to add that Confidence is a big factor here as well. If your playing well it makes the decision making is so much easier. Thus not much time thinking about it.

Many shots in pool can be defensive in nature requiring additional thought. Sometimes you are caught between two choices and they seem equal in promise. It doesn't matter how much time you take. Walk around the table during this time and "play the movie out" in your head. That is, visualize...

Assuming both players ran out on their break in every game...no.

First use the cueball to iron the cloth. Second use a shaft to find out which balls are smaller than the others and rack them to the outside perimeter. When the balls are different sizes there is no way to get them touching with any rack. Ironing the cloth will keep all but the headball from...

When it happens soda water from a soft drink soda fountain usually works on most stains by lifting it off. Then in the washer later with shout and add some oxyclean...

3/4...7/8...1 inch. The thinner the easier it is to transport. Two piece and three piece slate makes it even lighter than the one piece. Performance wise the 7/8 and one inch over time i would think would do you well but that's just a guess. I will let a table mechanic chime in now...

He gave up the game.

Jam nobody could tell a story like Smorgie...miss that guy. :( Thanks for bring back the laughs!

No, not necessarily. Because the the brain in that instance will acclimate to a constant flux of feedback.

Playing with a new cue unlike what you are used to is foreign ground. Your brain is looking for feedback from that cue and that feedback is unfamiliar. Your brain becomes finer tuned to pick up every nuance that cue can give you. That's why your playing a notch better. The late George Fels...

For a safety break I employ a side break. I aim for a half ball hit on the head ball to the outside of the rack. Hit it with lagging speed and you will drive 4 balls to a rail. Experiment with English if you want a specific location of the cue-ball.

Yes...yes they are!

Although the video quality is less than perfect this youtube video helped me greatly. Colin Colenso trained Olympic athletes and knows how the muscles of the body work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xW1tsONEI_U
