I was going to ask the exact same question !!! Been playing with a Z shaft for a while but my potting skills aren't on par what they used to be. Switch to a 13mm shaft today and the balls have been flying in. Is a bigger tip more "forgiving" with stroke errors ?

Thats a brilliant drill. I know snooker players do the line up this way to make it harder since you only have one ball to play for.

If Alex was born in the UK, started playing snooker at 6 years old he would be a top 16 / top 8 player no doubt. His mental game is very strong which i think would give him a huge advantage at snooker.

Back to back 147 has been done, not in an a official match but in a exhibition one. Still a great feat. I don't see why people think a 147 in practice is such a great thing. Big difference in running one in your own club or making a perfect break on TV.

i would argue 90% of all the top snooker players use this "acceleration motion". look up shaun murhpy, has one of the nicest cue actions there is.

You sure you have only been playing for 3 months ? That looks impressive. Once advice, try to slow down your back-swing and have a more controlled stroke.

Trying to order a 314 2 shaft, uniloc joint, but at checkout it says the promo code is not valid anymore ? Does it work for anyone here ?

Indeed, every banger can knock in balls. What always amazes me is the superb position play and control of the speed that the pros have. That takes years to master.

This is what you get when you let pro's rack their own. They will do everything to get that 0.1% advantage. In your weekly local tournament - go crazy and pattern rack what you like. But racking your own at the so called "world" championships ? Thats just nuts.

This whole racking your own is strange. But then again, let a ref rack and the players start to argue for 30 minutes about how the balls arent in a straight line with the rotation of Mars.

Or they could pay 0 and not host the event at all. Cause like you know, pool on TV is an instant winner ! :thumbup: I bet they make thousands of the ticket sales too !

Did Appleton gave up the last game ????

Orcollo is playing fast ! Damn, he is on fire.

chrome here - took me about 10 minutes before i got a login page, but now the stream is working. I think they are rate limiting the website to allow X sessions per minute to reduce the load.

What a shame that they can't seem to fix the streaming issue... especially since we are in the later stages of the tournament.

8 ahead ? Isnt that a bit too much ?

Rating someone a double A means they are at very HIGH level of pool. So whats her biggest package in 9 ball ? I expect atleast 5 on a 9ft.

This is indeed one of the craziest things I have ever seen. Unbelievable. In snooker there is the rule that you have to nominate the colour that you are going to hit(for example, the black). You only do that when you play a long shot or its not clear which colour you are gonna play. Such a...

couldnt agree more. problem is, pool streaming is a very niche market. the quality is really horrible anno 2014.

Spot on!! Nothing wrong with taking your time over a difficulty safety (timeout), but some of the slow play that is going on in professional pool is really killing it for TV broadcast. Nothing more painful than watching a simple 5 ball runout taking forever.
