It's in Capelle's..it's in the break shots chapter..can't quote the exact page at the moment..

Was it the Blonde? :thumbup:

So I took a good look at that again, the shot seems to bear a relation to a derivative of the kiss/dead carom shot but from a different angle? Am I on the right path here? :confused:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16VriO8ZQkg&feature=related I was looking at the ball that Fats shoots into the corner. I can't really tell if that ball lined up with the pocket. I can't really tell but does he spin the adjacent ball inable to make the dead ball go into the pocket? If you can...

In my opinion, I always thought it was a rhythm thing, possibly as a psr/possbily not. I have seen local players do the same thing, even with an open bridge as you've mentioned. I have even found myself wiggling my middle finger during an open bridge with my ring finger tucked in as well. Though...

just ordered my copy...cant wait to see what good stuff I can incorporate into my game :)

Hey Fran! How did you do in playoffs yesterday afternoon? Wish I could've given you more of a game. Maybe next time. You shot very well and I could see you were gaining a lot of momentum towards the end. Congrats to you. :thumbup: In regards to this post, my opening break was placed towards...

Sorry, I'm just a bit confused, if the rack is perfectly tight we still won't get a perfect break? I've been checking the back row of the rack of every opening break I have to perform for each league match. Most specifically the corner balls. Does it even matter if the corner balls are touching...

Um...no, try again

I'm at that point in my straight pool game where i'm experimenting to see what works for me. I'm primarily a 9 ball player and have that long fluid stroke (which may work for 9 ball). When learning 14.1 i've tried using the same stroke with mixed results. Last night during league, I experimented...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B48mcg4eJnU this is a work of art @ 0.32 seconds I used to think this was the way to go and tried emulating it with no luck.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yg2WAg9OZNY

Merry Christmas Ingo! :)

sorry..yes the thickness of the tip itself

Re: player cue tips Why is it that some players prefer their tip to be the bare minimum while others have a "birthday cake" on their cue as John schmidt used to say. For example some of the filipinos, and svb use the bare minimum on their tip. I used to think the more of the tip the better the...

for you massive rack runners in straight pool...what is your ideal pace in shooting?...if a shooter takes his or her time analyzing each rack..and shoots at a slow pace, will they ultimately crunch big numbers/maybe not?...or can they start slow but ultimately have to pick it up if they were to...

Many a-great straight pool players have been named steve-Mizerak,Lipsky,Kurtz, Will you be next in line to follow this pedigree of steve's? :grin:

Maybe it's just me, but I've been pondering this for the longest and was wondering how many of you fellow 14.1 shooters have thought about the dead carom shot, if it's available, and how often it appears after the opening break in a match. If the breaker edges off the corner ball (either left or...

Hey Dennis, sorry for the delayed response. I can only really speak about the early session which I'm included in. In the early session, which has six particular divisions. The last division (division six) from what it seems has some of the newer players in straight pool that are just starting...
