    Does League Play Limit your Potential?

    I am just getting started about getting better at pool. I am currently overrated in APA as a 5, I think I am really a 4 but I got a couple easy matches early. I don't know if all masters leagues are like this, but the leagues in our area are 4 person teams. I would not want to be a drag on...

    Beta blockers, anyone?

    I would argue that taking a prescription drug for a known condition isn't akin to being blind and having to drive. I would say that allowing the medication would be a reasonable accommodation. Think of it as more of the blind cab driver can have 20/20 vision with glasse, which would be an...

    Manning Cues

    I ordered a diamond table from them a couple of weeks ago and I am waiting on delivery, The communications with them has been top notch and they answered all questions almost immediately. They were very upfront with the lead time for the table and made sure I understood it would be at least 10...

    Newbie needs advice

    As others have said, all of these "home" type tables will not play as well as a tried and true commercial table. What I mean by this is that the rebound angles off of the cushions won't be quite right, the profile and height of the cushions might not be perfect, the speed of the table will play...

    Thanks, the concept sounds great, but $85 bucks for what is probably snake oil isn't a good idea.

    Mezz Wavy Joint Question

    i have been looking for a new cue, but these types of custom joints really turn me off to some company's. I don't want to be tied into just their stuff (or pay a lot to get others modified) for almost no gain. I really wish some of these company's would just use standardized joints and let it...

    Need help changing weight on Schon cue

    you can also try putting a pair of pliers on the screwdriver handle to get a little more leverage while allowing you to put some extra downward pressure on the screw.

    Got CHALK? I DO! THE TOP 3 CHALKS!

    I never really payed attention to chalk and been using master chalk at home since forever (bought a gross for like 15 bucks). However I started playing leagues and hated how my hand looked like a smurf after a few games. So I bought some magic chalk to try and WOW what a difference. No more...

    Free Pool School

    I saw that and considered it, but I know I can't keep up physically shooting pool for 8+ hours a day 4 days straight. I wouldn't be able to walk past day 2. I just started down the path of taking the game seriously so and wanting to improve so I am not sure starting with such an intensive...

    If you had ~$60 for one ‘beginner’ DVD...

    you should be good with his material. He builds his entire skill set off of stressing fundamentals and getting the correct stroke. I would also check out some of Joe Tuckers material as well.

    Free Pool School

    I agree with that, its all about getting the right training and competing against those world class players. Having the right connections early on makes this easier if you have the willpower. People tend to play to their competitions skill level over a long period of time. PS -- Jim Collins...

    If you had ~$60 for one ‘beginner’ DVD...

    Zero X Billiards is Tor Lowry's website to buy his material. There are some great bargains on there for digital downloads. I am pretty sure you can get an entire video series for like 30 bucks.
