    Good Pool Books?

    In the same vein as this, "Pleasures of Small Motions" is similar in concept, but written directly towards pool players. And "The Inner Game of Tennis" is typically referred to as the end-all mental game books.

    ✯✯ SHARKS Episode #18 is Up ✯✯

    Maybe the people 'round here are the exception, when I'm having a conversation, there isn't much a pause in the back'n'forth. Sometimes, of course, there's that "formulation" period - but certainly not in everyday conversations. But, whatever. for me, personally, it's distracting, and most of...

    ✯✯ SHARKS Episode #18 is Up ✯✯

    I also have been watching since the first release, and I like that the show has settled down on a few story points - the first few episodes were just random story starters - and nothing has happened there in a while ... like the guy trying to hustle the pro girl to get into a big money game...

    Pool Reality Show Interesting To General Public

    There was a movie about air-drumming... it did decently... but, unlike pool, it's easy to see the action going on and get wrapped up in the energy of the competition - and you don't have to be a musician to understand it.

    Pool Reality Show Interesting To General Public

    If there can be multiple shows about truck drivers arguing over the radio there should be at least be a pool-themed show. But, like Justin said, there are legalities to following people around; which is probably like single-location shows (Pawn Stars, etc) are so easy to make. So, what about...

    What are the benefits of an ivory ferrule?

    ^^This. I'm glad someone posted it. As for the chalk thing, there's a "Juma" ferrule that, while not 100% chalk resistant, is pretty good at keeping the chalk off. I have them on my cues and if some chalk gets on there, a little wipe down does the trick wonderfully.

    Early/Mid Morning Streams

    There are 2 star billiard streams that run (usually) during the day, 10-ball is what I see most often; but I haven't really kept up with them in a while. They're in the Philippines, iirc.

    One Pocket capital on the USA???

    I'm going with Arizona ... not sure I can peg a city, but AZ has some of the toughest ongoing tournaments I've seen (going off ustream events, that is). Wasn't Grady in AZ? I know Scott Frost is there; plus a ton of A+ players in the monthly tournaments.

    Advanced "after contact" Masse' Position SHot

    Scott Frost demo's this shot somewhere in that Power One Pocket DVD - but doesn't say how to do it, the sneaky b*stard. :p Thanks for this post!

    Trying to figure out a Buddy Hall Tour advice

    Gah, I wish my town had the support. I had SO MUCH FUN when you came through with Archer/Varner a couple years back. I'm in a few different leagues with a whole lot more players available, I could ask around and see if people would be seriously interested. And I'm not too far from Buddy...

    Kamui Black SS or S on OB Classic Pro

    I have a Black SS on my Classic Pro and for me, it's a little too soft. That tip grips the ball so well (on soft speed shots) that when I'm 1/4 tip off center, enough spin is put on the ball that it affects the shot. But, like all tips, it's more about what works best for you. I realize the...

    What's the Best Way to Support InsidePool?

    I bought the digital subscription and after an initial oops, (I emailed them and it was resolved in a few days), things were excellent. I had access to every online issue available; it was more than worth the $10 (I think it was) it cost me. Print mags cost a lot of money for both the...

    Svb Orcollo on TAR now

    So, I decided to rewatch last night's match, but after the end of the match, when the loop restarted, it restarted from after the break at 8-7... have they been doing that all day? I was hoping to catch the opening 7-packs. Any thoughts?

    I'm having some serious issues with layered tips. Help?

    Layered tips Do.Not.Like any tip tool other than a straight file. And when you shape them, pull down vertically from the center out to the edge. If you file horizontally, it creates enough heat and torque to dislodge the glues between the layers. So, no cue cube, no ultimate tip tool, no...

    Funny pic/gif thread...

    That video was making the internet rounds pretty heavily a few months back; all of their stuff is a little jacked up like that. I am surprised that Mr Wilson is familiar with it though, as I wouldn't peg him or his social circle to indulge in such oddities.
