I have my own table and practice about 10 hours a day 5 days a week. Have a good day and dont be so busy that you cant knock'em around for a while. John There are not many places to play where I live, so for the best practice, I must travel to Nevada; however, I have been fortunate enough to...

I will take you up on that offer to practice, should you ever visit a place even remotely close to me. Try to stay warm, my friend. :wink:

Tor is the best pool player I know. Though I've known him for many years and have watched him play and teach others, I am learning more from all of his videos because I can go at my own pace. He also teaches in a way I can understand easily; admittedly a challenge for me in the past. Though...

Katrina is beautiful and very fortunate to have parents as you and Karen, who already consider her to be a part of what is the world of pool. Thank you to share the image of such a precious baby.

My User Name is representative of a song title, with lyrics very meaningful for me, by Evanescence. My avatar is a photo of me with an overlay of the words to a poem I wrote. As an often "overly sensitive" person, I had a negative first experience being a new person to the AZB Forum. I have...

That is what I heard as well, but even if I had not heard that part, as a player who still has a great deal to learn to even be considered an average player by some people's standards, I would know that I should not try using english as described in the video without being more advanced in my...

I found this free video to be very helpful for me. My experience has been similar regarding the complexity of some of the instructional material that is available. Hope this may be useful for you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOliM1fySNE

This video is awesome and taught me a great deal about 9 Ball position play. The drill shown in this video is one of my selected drills to fulfill one of my pool-related resolutions for the new year. I want to be able to consistently run out this particular 9 ball pattern. In studying this...

I am extremely focused and determined when I go to Planet Fitness for exercise and workouts. I have a routine and I rarely deviate. My pool-related resolution is to select 2-3 new pool drills based on my objectives to master particular shots with which I struggle and approach those drills...

I love the "he got out and he shot all the wrong shots!" quote. I'm pretty sure I am still doing that far too often. Diagrams and discussion as what is contained in this thread helps me move further away from being self-described by the quote from the "78 year old pool playing buddy" referred...

Makes me want to find out where Kickin' Chicken plays. Might then put myself out there by singing Karaoke exactly like I do in the shower, then play a round immediately following the distraction. :wink:

Thank you. I know no other way than to just be myself. I am sure forums are similar to other forms of social media, like Facebook or Twitter. Navigating this forum is just too new, so I am sure, as you say, it will just take some time and patience to "connect." In reviewing some threads, I...

No not at all. I am brand new to AZ and it is likely I just had a negative first thread experience. My experience in the pool community in general has been very positive, so I am sure I will discover a way here which connects me to some great content sharers and people from whom I will learn a...

This is but one example I have seen which makes me want to implore others to guide me to a forum where people can "agree to disagree" and discuss rather than argue, especially if it involves name-calling. Suggestions from anybody would be very welcomed and appreciated. I am not accustomed to...

That's too bad because I would love to see more great players sharing videos or even easy to follow written or illustrated tips. Even though some of the material presented in the 80 minute free video by Tor was basic, I learned a great deal which was useful to me, after about the 30 minute...

"If you get too hung up on being a 'student of the game,' such as the use of pool terminology, rather than focusing on being mentally prepared; understanding strategy; knowing effective systems; practicing diligently and maintaining confidence, you will become a player who loses his or her money...
