Chalk up another for VNEA. Here the handicaps are 6 to 11 with .5 points in between. I am an 11. Personally I would love to see how the stats of some of the players here match up against other leagues and see if we can draw some type of comparision to equal ground. I have never tried APA and...

I just want to thank everyone who has contributed to this thread. I am pretty sure this thread has attracted more attention than the other fun one I started "The Tragedy of the Jump Cue" or something like that. I know you ALL loved that one! LOL Wow. I like this thread. I am learning new things...

Canada is also sending Marina Linguerri again. She finished 4th in the 2007 Canadian Womens Open. Go get em kid!

How to compensate for a rack not directly on the spot: Head ball high: break with slight follow through. This forces the wing ball (9 ball) lower. Head ball low: break with slight draw. This pulls the wing ball (9 ball) higher. The implication for 8 ball is that it now becomes very hard to...

Marina Linguieri from Ottawa is going to rep Canada as well. She finished 4th this year at the Canadians in the women's open and played the juniors last year. Good luck Marina!

Tell us would be my guess. For those of you not fortunate enough to have met Snorks he is one of the most genuine and nicest guys you will ever meet. He is a lot of fun and is incredibly mild mannered and funnier than most. I know the close group of friends we share and the constant banter that...

For me it is about creating a successfull mental image. I envision a pocket 2 inches behind the head ball and play my break like a straight in stop shot with power. I have found that by thinking about the break the same as I see any other shot I have been more consistant with my break and cue...

While I agree with the previous posts that it would be tough to win here I would rather play a safe and try to hit the left side of the 9 and push the CB to the rail. This pushes the 8 a little closer to the pocket so if they try the carom on the 2 or 5 the 8 could double kiss and go in. If...

Check Ebay. I saw an older SP for sale last week and it was advertising butt only.

The best I have heard, and what I go by, is that the angle you need must be at least equal to the angle required to clear the obstruction. If you have a long jump and the CB needs to launch on a 35 degree angle then you can jump from there or slightly higher. Adjust a little for where you need...

We have a similar system here but we also have + added to the letter handicaps. I think the pole needs to have a short stop in there as an option as that is where most semi-pros would fall. I am going to guess I am around an A. But in action I think I am probably a strong C. Any takers? ;)

That's all you need.

Here is an easy drill to help practice staying down. Place an OB on the spot and line the CB up to shoot it straight into the corner pocket about half way between the OB and the rail. Stroke the shot with draw and draw the CB back into your tip. This forces you to follow through and stay down...

I like the custom jump cues that Don Broos (DB Custom Cues) does. I don't play the really tight jump shots but for the jumps I do attempt I can really control the CB well and it takes no effort to jump. Send me a PM and I will give you some pics of the available cues. He has a lot and they are...

Not a fan. Too light. If you have a very wristy break then you might like it, if you prefer to power through your break the lighter nature of the cue becomes, IMO, counter productive. I do agree it is an incredible full cue jump cue. Many players here bought one as soon as they came out and...

Bump for other offers.

Contrary to popular belief in this thread english WILL effect the break as is demonstrated quite well by Joe Tucker. Watch your break and see where the one typically hits on the side rails. If you are hitting below the side pocket use a bit of draw to pull the one higher and follow to push it...

I am searching for a friend. Please PM or post (your choice) prices for new BK2's. To be known I will also require shipping to Canada. Thanks.
