And to increase fan interest you need more fans. I think this can be accomplished by making amateur pool a better environment. I would point to the USGA for golf as an example. Governing body which is not tied to professionals or trade organizations. Responsible for rules of the game and a few...

You sir have hit the nail on the head with the red text above! Us pool bums gotta get it where we can though! ;) Best of luck on your return! If you are in Vegas for BCA nationals message me here and maybe we can play some cheap 10 ball! Ken

So you are saying "Aim small". Got it. Simplicity is the teacher. Ken

Handicaps have their place. And they dang sure didn't stunt the growth of golf in anyway! All this BS about socialism is a joke! There are many facets to playing a game. One of them being social players. Another being competitive players. They both have their place in the world. Obviously...

Take this for what it is...my experiences/opinion I have shot 10's of thousands of these shots. I started back 3-4 years ago when Ingo turned me on to it! Since then I have gone through a lot of changes. My initial results were similar to what you mention. My conclusion was that my actual...

New is not important....but condition is. Skittle or standard colors...doesn't matter. Delivered to Oklahoma. If you have a set please post a pic and a price. Thank you, Ken

Dinner and a movie is always a good start! Sorry...I have nothing to offer on your request. I just couldn't resist responding to the message header! Best of luck on your new table! Ken

You and I are obviously not communicating. I am ok with that. Ken

Mainstream thinking treats the subject with disregard..... Good subject IMO though! Ken

Sometimes people actually say what they mean... In my earlier posts, I said I look at the object ball last during competition and cue ball last during practice. That is my answer to the OP's query. Sidenote: I played James Walden (not even) last night and kept missing some fairly easy shots...

You are reading what you want to read....not what I wrote. It's ok though. I bet Greg Cantrill understands! I am out! Ken

You might want to read that again. I don't see anywhere I say it is obvious to look at the cue ball last. I said "The way I strike the cue ball determines the success or failure of my attempt". My point was that the cue ball does not care where our eyes are focused when we hit it. All that...

I hold a piece of equipment and use it to strike the cue ball. The way I strike the cue ball determines the success or failure of my attempt. Just as it is when striking a baseball, a golf ball, tennis ball, etc etc I have studied this question with an open mind for over two years now. My...

Two things stand out to me in your post. 1. Your son likes pool 2. Gambling had an adverse effect on your life Definitely teach your son how to play the game he already likes. But also let him know about your experiences with gambling and in turn your views on how to handle himself as a person...

I wanted to clarify. I am just an end user who found a tool that works. Don Bodden is the talent behind the site. Never met him but I am sure glad I ran across his site! He provides it free of charge so the least I can do is share my feelings about it! And yes...this post is a shameless bump! I...

I introduced a lot of the pool world to challonge.com a couple of years ago. Well, Don Bodden (AZB user dbodden1019) has taken it to the next level for pool! http://leaguepoolstats.com/ is the best tool I have used for running tournaments. I have used challonge.com for a lot of events but this...

I have been at Jamaica Joes too long without jump sticks. Jump the 2 and make the one and get out. Use a bit of low and hold it in case you miss. A reasonable 2 way shot on any table. :) Ken

Attempt to bank the 2 under the stripe to possibly block it while pulling the cue ball back towards the end rail behind the 8 trying to leave him hooked or at worse straight in and on the rail. I would be focusing more on getting the cue ball to the rail. If the 2 rolls too far to block the...

I used this last night for my event at Joes. Table assignments, match duration, etc etc. It made the job a lot easier! Ken

I am an advocate of challonge.com as well. Been using them for quite sometime now... http://joes.challonge.com/ I signed up for http://leaguepoolstats.com/ this week as well. We will see what that one is about very soon! :) Ken
