And Snorks is STILL talking about Scott and his lesson! I know, we play on a Tuesday league team together. :D By the way, Snorks had an ERO (Break and Runout) last week in league as well as many more in practice and is showing constant improvement in many areas of his game. He has gotten...

The real question you need to ask yourself is, "Do I want to get better?". However you answer that question is also the answer to your question regarding lessons.

To date the best practice regiment I have ever heard was that of Stephen Hendry years ago. He would set his alarm and wake up at 7 am every day Monday to Friday. Get showered and dressed in the same attire he competes in. Have breakfast and report to his table at 9 am. He would take a 15 minute...

Depends on what you want. If you want to find someone to play, Greenbank Broken Cue, but the tables are crap. Nice tables, there are few places. Anywhere to play in Brockville? I know Jason Klatt. It wasn't him. Pretty sure it was Jason Williams I played. Is he from the east coast?

Sure you can learn from those you beat! For example: Bar tab after playing: Free Lesson learned: drinking is fun and free New shoes to replace ones worn from walking around the table: Free Lesson learned: the more you stand, the cheaper replacement shoes are. Full tank of gas: Free Lesson...

Cudos to JL for that! I have known some touring golf pros that worked while touring. They sold financial planning, insurance, a variety of non-tangilble products, etc...Easy to do on the road. I would hope people would follow the path that lodini presented. If would be nice to see those who...

Although I recognize the names the only guy that you listed that I am friends with is Whitey. The competition will be awesome. Best I will have seen to date. Looking forward to it. Anytime you are in Ottawa let me know. PS: Jason Williams? Young guy? Won the juniors a while back?

How to play 9 ball. No problem crawfish. Here it is in a nut shell: 1) you may make any ball in order, however, you must hang the 9 for your opponent and give them a chance before you can make the 9. 2) although your opponent may have a nice, what he calls a pool cue, you MUST use either end...

Point proved. Thanks for the reply Tristan. Now if cplayer replies Shawn will get to fully understand my point. You see this forum as a stew, I see it as rice. We are all equal grains each with something to give. However, stir, and all the rice is disturbed. Add what you will and let the others...

Shawn, You will quickly find out that there are lots of newbies on this forum. I am one as well. I have truly enjoyed my start here and with the exception of a few people who just lurk to stir the pot there are tons of not only knowledgeable but really great people on this forum. I have some...

A player I met a few years back, Norm, is a high school math teacher with a family at home. He plays to a strong semi-pro level and seems to move the cue ball like it's on a string. I asked him once how much he practices to keep in shape. He plays 5 days a week, 15 minutes a day. He has a...

Ok, I normally ask my advice directly by PM, this time, however, I am going to see what some of the big boys (and ladies) do in preparation for a major tournament. At the end of August I will be playing in possibly the largest singles event, well, most significant anyway, of my life. I am...

Use something like Chalk Off everyday and you will prolong the life and play of your cloth. It used to be you had to brush or vacuum your table to clean it which stretches the cloth a fair bit, now, with CO, you can clean the table in under a minute and not damage the cloth. IMO it is the best...

There is one serious question you need to answer for yourself and that is what is more important the learning experience or the gamble? Locally we have the exact same type of player, who shall be named Katana, and few players stronger than him will play him because we hate the weight he asks for...

In many respects the spot is more of a nuissance that an aid anyway. Always use the diamonds to set your rack as you KNOW they are in the right spot. Like was said you settle the balls on the head string and ensure the top ball is centered on that line then be sure the centre balls are in line...

As to why Corey wipes both balls, I am assuming that you are not lagging with two cue balls, in that case you do not want chalk on the object balls. As far as the lag, they are starting to use the rule that the second player to hit the CB must do so before the first CB has hit the end rail. I...

Wow. What else can you say? Wow.

Out of curiousity...when talking about the best 16 year old of all time is that for all disciplines? If so I really don't see how Stephen Hendry wouldn't take that down...

Read the books "Zen Pool" by Max Eberley and "The Pleasure of Small Motions". Like Jay said, stay in the game. Keep playing in your mind. Use the time in your chair like sitting out a hand in poker. Watch you opponent and learn their game. What mistake are they making? How should you play to...
