    Teaching Speed Control....

    Get the Kim Davenport box set "Target Pool". It has step by step drills designed to show you the goal and help you get there. I used it in the beginning of my learning and now use it with many students. Easy and fun. Each drill shows the proper setup, where the target should be, the path of both...

    YouTube - Luc Salvas

    Wait till you see him live! Luc is a great player and possibly the fastest on earth (be a tough call between him and Ronnie). Nice guy too.

    Why is it that average players always feel like they should instruct you.

    I somewhat agree with Mike. Around here there are lots of players too willing to give advice about what to do and most, given the same situation, wouldn't be able to do it. That said, I do believe in the saying that a good player does not a good teacher make, as well, those that can't, teach...

    What is the best jump stick technique

    Regardless of whether or not I need to use an underhand jump or dart I try and visualize a cue ball sized hoop above the obstructing ball in a direct line to the object ball. I change the height of the hoop depending on how I want the shot to happen. It is similar to how Phil Mickelson plays...

    What age if at all would you introduce pool to your child?

    My daughter was 3. She watched me play and I would help her "shoot" balls. Now at 5 she will come to the table and grab her little cue and want to shoot balls with me. She is still a little uncoordinated but I would assume that by the time she is 7 she should be able to stroke a little. Never...

    Rack your own or opponent racks for you?

    While I agree that letting your opponent rerack if the FBT isnt there, there is something fun about being able to seemingly throw the balls together and make the wing ball nearly every time and watching my opponent kill themselves trying to rack the same way desperate to make a ball! I think...

    A few questions about Predator Shafts

    1. Contact Steve at www.thewinningstroke.com. Great guy and he had great customer service. 2. Every shaft is the same as the next per category. Each 314 has the same taper as another 314. 3. 12.75 is the standard size for a 314-2. 4. I play the Z2. But I like both. Depends on which taper and...

    Cheap sets, no one seems to want to play em

    Flex, I'm not trying to start anything, but you said my method of paying to learn doesn't work, yet you recommend a few hundred dollars in books? My point, if anyone missed it, was this...if you want to gamble with a gambler put up some money, if you want to play for fun, play for fun with...
