You're right about that Jay, but you also forgot about bank pool :) lol Banks players learn how to turn the ball on the rail when playing a bank shot, as well as how to use different speeds to create different angles off the rails :) I feel that Rotation, Banks, 1-Pocket and Straight Pool are...

It looks like he just played a rail first force draw shot with a little right hand english to make sure he would get the CB upstairs to the balcony for the 6 :) With the cloth and balls being new, the force of the speed and the draw would've naturally made the cubeall slide forward a little...

Thanks, but I'm in the UK and am not keen on the bill of calling international, been there, done it, and got fed up of the rip off call charges :) lol Willie

Either no music or else some Delta Blues or Piano Blues instrumentals :) I agree though that the best sounds are the sounds of a ball dropping into the pocket, especially when it's the break ball and getting a nice wide open break :thumbup: Willie

I bought a pair of glasses that are supposed to be billiard glasses, but tbph, they are complete shite! :mad: Randy, can you PM me a website address for the Billiard Glasses that you deal in, I'd certainly appreciate it alot :thumbup: With having worn glasses from I was about 4 years ols...

Thanks Dennis, I really appreciate it buddy :thumbup: Willie

BUMP :thumbup: I look forward to when this DVD is available :) I currently got a copy of JS's 245 high run and have yet to watch it, but I will certainly be enjoying every shot of each rack tomorrow evening whilst destroying a cigar and some coffee :D Willie

I concur with this as my sig staes I have a Omen J/B as well and it is a beast to break with :) Solid flat-faced joint with a 3/8-11 pin and longer jump cue handle section to allow for longer and shorter distance jump shots :) Try sending a PM to Si D'Vali (thediamond) as I think he's got one...

well, the high run I hit was made about 6 years ago, when I was playing against my friend and practice partner a game of straight pool to 125 :) After about 10/15 innings of safeties and small runs, my buddy played a poor safety and left me a couple of easy shots, to which I took advantage of...

Hey Steve Thanks for your reply buddy and some rep points are coming your way :) The reason I was asking the question about the effectiveness of the stroke is because one thing that I have noticed in my own experience of shooting pool, is that if a player is shooting with a short and somewhat...

Hey Guys :) I don't know if this has been talked about before here and so I thought this would be a good discussion to have, especially since it's concerning straight pool and a player's ability to run balls consistently :) What I would like to ask for your thoughts on is this:- How much...

I agree with this, particularly the choice of cloth :) I would rather see Straight Pool being played on the old heavier barbox cloth, than on the faster 9ball orientated cloths of today like Simonis 860, Z9 Clother, etc :) Straight Pool on the faster clothers suited to 9ball just doesn't feel...

Thank you guys, I really appreciate it alot. Right now I don't feel that I can get any benifit from any kind of constructive practice routine's because I'm simply not getting enough table time to work on my overall ability and to iron out all the creases in my game, and so until I can find...

Happy Birthday Scott, have a great day buddy and here's to hoping for many more event better days and Birthdays to come :thumbup: Willie

Bump :thumbup: Hey Dennis, how are ya buddy? :) I just got a brand new custom cue arrive in the mail yesterday and it's funny about how you describe the pool shaft that was suited for straight pool because the shafts on the new cue have got a very similar kind of taper to them :) The best way...

Hey Guys :) After competing in the last few events and not even playing close to my real capability, I can't seem to get back 'In Stroke' after spending so much time away from the sport over the last few years and to be honest it's really becoming to be annoying, but the reason for this is...

Very well done Geranio and congradulations on the double decker high run :thumbup: It's such a great feeling when breaking that 100 mark, it's like finally finding the right size of sledgehammer for bashing down that brick wall obstacle that has been in the way for so long :) Congradulations...

I remember this cue because I had a copy of a book by Steve Mizerak and it included some black and white pics of his cue and some of his cases, including a all white leather 2x4 case with the Miller Lite logo on the back, from when he did the commercials :) If I remember correctly, that...

I'm not the slightest bit enthusiastic about the chosen location for the WPC, IMHO it should have been brought back to either Cardiff, Wales, or it should've been held in the USA, with Vegas being the most ideal spot :) Willie

Agreed :thumbup: Willie
