I'm not quite sure what an AA player is. Is it above an A player? First of all to reach A player level one needs to love the game first. Loving the game is the motivation needed to reach a high level. Some love the game and play hours on end but their abilites only let them reach a certain...

Maybe your LO is doing you a favor and letting you know that if you want to win and not go up you have to make the matches a lot closer and take your chances.

How could you forget to put your cue in the case. Let's hope it's still there.

When Buddy missed the eight to tie the match up I was actually expecting for him to miscue. That would have been more believable.

I got hit square on the jaw once. I never had a chance to get away from the table after lifting up the rack. Knocked me silly for about an hour. I think my jaw would have broken if the cue ball had hit me on one side or the other. Because it hit me dead center I think the force was spread out...

Jerry, a friend came over to my house today and had that feature on his phone and we experimented with it. It works great once you learn how to use it. Replay in slow motion was instant.

In the real world, not the dump world, if Buddy had any Idea that he might miss this combo with $50,000 on the line he would have played and easy safety here by rolling the eight to the short rail and laying the cue ball right on top of the nine ball forcing Lebron to kick by going up table and...

The bottom line here is that once Buddy got on that combination he should have just made it and everyone should have taken their losses. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet. Who would believe he would miss that combo especially as bad as he did. I was there and there was no doubt in my...

On my worse day I would be a heavy favorite to make Buddy's combo. On my best day I would be a big underdog to make earl's combo.

It looked to me like Lebron was the one dumping. Maybe he was the only one that bet on Buddy. That shot on the eight that he missed was awful, It was weak, no stroke and no position on the nine. Buddy missed the combination on the nine exactly the way it needed to be missed. Hitting the nine to...

No sir, I value my health.

Unlimited fouls do make the game winnable. Years ago in NoCal I played a game where my opponent had three balls to the good and all of the remaining balls were near his pocket and I was corner hooked at the other end of the table on his side of the table. I took a number of intentional fouls and...

Many I know would play and dump and wind up with half.

I would take the foul like Lenny said. this would give him one opportunity to make a mistake from that distance. If he put me back I would take another foul. Having him needing two extra balls could be big down the line. If we were not playing the three foul rule then I would take even more fouls.

You are correct with that statement.

Because it's the higest number and the color purple is the heaviest color thus it will head to the pocket better.:smile:

yobagua, there's been some very good advice in this thread for you and others. The thing I would add in respect to selling out in the early part of your match, is to have confidence in your feelings when you suspect that something may go wrong with the shot. Your pass experience may be telling...

This shot is pretty much a toss up for me. The upper pocket is bigger from this angle but you still need to hit it pretty good .Missing this shot will most likely leave the cue ball in the middle of the table and will probably leave a decent shot. The lower pocket also has some advantages...

The first time I played Don was on the 4x8 table that we had in the back of our barber shop. I was so impressed with his play that we made an appointment to play at a near by bowling alley where they had 4.5x9 tables. He beat me there too. I later played him on a bar table, same result. I...

A good question is.. did you shake his hand after the match?
