    i love my new ob1

    Not even close. IMO the Black Dot can't touch Predators. I have a Z2 right now but after hitting some shots with Snorks new OB1 I know I need to put that shaft in my bag. Awesome.

    11 Greenies. Thanks guys.

    I need to piggy back this thread to say thank you to so many great posters that have also taken the time to add to my rep since this thread started! I am proud to announce I have achieved 10 greenies! Wow. Thanks to all.

    Gladiator to Child in One Set! (longish)

    Last night I went to play at one of the local rooms against their house player. The table there is very fast and plays tighter than any other table in the area by far. Normally I take an hour or so to adjust, however, the changes I have been working on in my game seemed to come together last...

    Advice when CB is close to OB

    I haven't read all the posts so forgive me if this has been said. I learned a few years ago how to shoot a straight on shot from 1/4 inch away straight on with draw or follow with no foul. I highly recommend practicing this stroke before attempting it in a match. Adopt a very short bridge...

    racking 9 ball

    Without revealing the complete secrets of Joe's DVD I will just say this....you are looking at the rack wrong. The top three are tight, great, but the secret lies beyond those balls. Contrary to popular belief the gap between the second balls (middle of those two) means nothing. Gaf racks occur...

    racking 9 ball

    By now I am surprised that everyone on AZ has not purchased a copy of the Joe Tucker DVD. That said, to answer the question about why are they pulling the top ball....to make the 9 ball break available is why! The top three balls are important only so you do not launch the CB off the table...

    9-ball provincial championship (quebec)

    Congrats and good luck. Don't let JIGS put her hustle on you. Be sure to have her introduce you to Andy Tipman and Luc Comtois. I hear there are there as well. Nice guys.

    Thanks Freddy

    Freddy, I felt I had to say thank you. I recently purchased your Banking book. Wow. I am glad I never had the misfortune of falling into a match with you. I have not had a chance to truly get into the book or practice the shots on a table. I have only had a chance to read and learn some of the...

    dufferins and other housecue'S.

    Probably not worth much. Give them to the local boys and girls club. It will do wonders for the Karma.

    Question/advice about turning pro.

    The question you should ask yourself is "What standard of living do I want for myself?". As well you should look at retirement and how to acheive that if you change vocations. I don't tend to give advice to people when it comes to life decisions as that I feel those are decision we make...

    predator 5k?

    As you can see in my signature I have a first generation Predator. One of my close friends and past teammates recently purchased a 5k7. There is a very noticeable difference. The hit feels more solid. The butt size is thinner than mine by a fair amount. I can feel the difference in the hit...

    mental game

    I do not like to argue on the forums but I strongly disagree with DCP here. I have read both, most recently POSM, and I took a lot away from both. POSM was what I read getting ready for the Canadian Championship and I went into the events and my matches confident and focued. I would HIGHLY...

    Ospd----only Serious Pool Discussions

    I think to what Bobby Jones said about why he plays golf...for the feeling of a perfectly hit golf ball. When I want to get on stroke I lose my mind and body in the search for a perfectly struck shot. When you get that feeling it is like a drug. I also like what is referred to in Pleasure of...

    What is the greatest compliment someone has given you?

    Over the years I have been the fortunate recipient of numerous compliments. Not due to my stellar play, simply because I believe what goes around comes around and I enjoy commenting to other players when I feel they deserve it. Most recently I have adopted a new phase that accompanies me...

    What is YOUR shot?

    Bar fun trick shot This shot works best on a 9'. Set the balls frozen as shown. Challenge the fish to make the combo on the 9. It should be set up frozen on the rail and all OB frozen together. How to make the shot? Apply a little saliva between the two and nine then freeze em up. Works...

    accu-stats % ratings?

    Funny this thread should start now. My buddy wanted to see what his accu-stats would be so he made up a chart and kept score. We played a sloppy 7 ahead set that lasted, I am ashamed to admit, 51 games. :( :o In the end he ended up shooting in the low 700's and I was in the mid 800's. Those...
