Thanks that sounds better. I just know from shooting firearms if you start looking to see if you hit the target before you complete the follow-through you will miss.

That's what I'm talking about it would be like Ali v Foreman.

Thanks to 8 ball Einstein and Bob Jewett (long time fan of your articles). They are carom balls (carom is the term for a 3 cushion billiard ball right?) not pool balls. My Great Grandfather had them and they were passed down they are never for sale and I don't understand why they were passed...

I'm not sure anything has changed. Granted we're supposed to love everyone equally and not stereotype but this is what I've encountered. I started playing in the 70's and this is my experience. Granted this doesn't apply to everyone. The "average" players seem to be the ones that treat...

I have (4) billiard balls from at least 1890 (could be older but not newer). What were they made out of then?

Good luck Dennis as a fan I love your game. When do we get to see a match-up between SVB and you? That's a match-up I would pay to see as well as the dvd.

It's the "Tempo" article. "There are some rules for the exercise and you should follow them closely. Begin with chalking your tip, an essential step in preparation for every shot. Now comes the routine set forth last month. Connect with the object ball; make your stance; warm up; move your eyes...

Did you try Ned Morris?

I was taught to lay the cue Jay Helfert's way (right or wrong) for his stated reasons. It was considered good etiquette when using someone's cue to lay it flat and a "breach" to lay it on the rail. The first people I can remember laying their cues on the rail were pro's (who usually don't buy...

Thanks for the replies.

Thanks I thought that was right.

Good idea. I always read or see on video "well he did it on a 4x8" or "what do I get". The prize fund would make it a put up or shut up. I've always said if Willie Mosconi's run only happened because of the 4x8 table somebody would have already done it. Granted I don't know every pool...

Can anyone give me an unbiased opinion? I ask because I will pay for a quality product but won't throw money in the street. I have limited "me" time and don't want to waste it watching a "frozen" stream with 2 guys or gals discussing what they ate at the snack bar. I'm not saying there...

Earl could run out with any stick, but what a great thing (except for his opponents) if his confidence gets back to form.

Tom Ross (AZ Billiards) has a column where he says follow the object ball to the pocket with your eyes. Never made sense to me on cut shots and on straight shots I would think it would cause you to jump especially when the ball and the pocket aren't close together. Anybody see any "sense" in...

Can't help with the Ex who can figure them out. Mine decided it was a great idea to destroy my copy of "Rags to Rifleman". Tip: Never date women from places you like to go you'll be repeating the circle when you break up.

"Its not bragging when you can do it" Earl Strickland or Babe Ruth can't remember

I tried just about every brand of glove for the same reasons they all wore out in the thumb area. These are the best ones I tried no issues. Sharpshooter http://www.epoolsticks.com/pool-stick-accessories-pool-gloves.html Sports beg for gloves baseball, bowling etc lol. Wait a minute Jim...

Hat's off to you pool room owners. I wanted to open a small pool hall (because I like pool) but I don't think it's a good return (in my area) for the effort. I have a real estate business and I always tell my wife: Rule#1 We're the only ones who care if we make it. Rule#2 This isn't a govt...

That is a lot of pool even for a champion like Mika the mental toll and on your feet (exhausting). Particularly since this isn't banging them around at the local place I bet he went straight to sleep. Was this winner or loser side?
