I could not agree more! It really bothers me when my teammates leave before the last game has been played. I hate hearing the excuse "I gotta get up early". We all gotta get up early! The poor bastard who plays last gotta get up early too, but he stays and plays in the last slot because that's...

Gerry, Yes, you are exactly correct. It is Grail that I was speaking about. I do consider it to be a center to edge technique, so I was speaking generically for the advice I was providing. But your point of clarification Is well taken, and probably something I should have clarified. Thank you...

Try the True Angle protractor for practicing the angles I have been practicing using the true angle protractor and the gum label dots. This protractor is perfect for setting up angles quickly & easily. The hinge part of the protractor is round and sits where the ghost ball would be. Then you...

I posted this in the thread congratulating Earl for winning the Ginky 10-ball memorial. For those who didnt see it, it was a hill/hill match & with 4 simple balls to runout, Kiamco was playing great. He has to just sink the 9 in the side (which he is straight in on), then roll up for the 10 in...

Interesting example of why you should make everyone shoot every shot. Before Kiamco scratched, I was thinking Earl should have conceded the game (even as early as when Kiamco had about 4 balls left and it looked like simple connect the dots). Even the pros can miss em'. Interesting question...

Mike, I truly appreciate the thread. Very cool. Question I have... In your match with Rodney Morris, it seemed as if he was getting all the rolls and you couldn't catch a break. How do you keep from getting overly frustrated during a match like that & having it effect your game? So many times a...

Has anyone considered a reality TV show where a charasmatic / entertaining player such as (Alex, earl, etc) walk into poolrooms around the country and have a progressive pot that will pay a local poolroom player the pot if they win a set. The stakes could start at $1000 for the set. If the pro...

Someone has to help me understand this. We live in Bizarro world! - Steve

This is why the AZBilliards community is so great. Thank you all so much for the encouragement and advice. I appreciate that you would take the time to read my post and respond so thoughtfully. - Steve

Wondering if anyone else has felt like this before. It seems as if I can't just let my stroke out. Every shot seems like so much work. I seem to have also lost my confidence. I do play two nights per week in apa league and also try to practice about 2 additional nights. I really haven't had a...

First, let me start be saying that you have an awesome rec room and table. 2nd, I will say you are not alone. I have redone my basement pool room 3 times now. 1st, my kitchen waste pipe rotted and was dumping god knows what behind the wall, under the floor, etc. The smell was lovely, the water...

Black-balled, I get it! I'm so thick sometimes :) LoL

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your wife

I'm not on Charlie's back at all. I thought they had a noble cause. I was hoping to hear that the organization was still a going entity as I thought they were really doing a good thing for the sport.

Whatever happened to the ABP (association of billiards professionals)? Are they still active? Are any events actually ABP sanctioned? I thought the idea of the organization was a good one. I think pool desperately needs some sort of governing body in pursuit of evolving the profession forward...

Same as Dom_papa, I try to limit my advice to players who need to work on the fundamentals. I am careful to make sure the individual is open to advice (not everyone appreciates it). Steve

I built a ball polisher based on this YouTube video posted by force follow. It works great for me and only cost me roughly $25 to build. I squirt some aramith ball polisher on the pad, then put in about 5 balls at a time in the "machine". I run it for a couple of minutes. Balls come out like...

I also built mine from the YouTube video referred to by Deamondrew. It is titled "how to build a ball polisher". The address is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8O5A6ON_bJU&feature=youtube_gdata_player. I built this thing for like 20 bucks and it works great!! I have had it for a few years now...

I love this event and am grateful to Allen and his staff for promoting the Super Billiards Expo. It is very special that we have something like this on the east coast and we should not take it for granted. I appreciate how difficult it must be to put this event together and I hope it continues...
