    Weird stance?

    Tried the exact same stance a few years ago. I thought I found the "secret". I went back to right foot on the shot line and never looked back. In the end if it works for you do it There were two YouTube instructional videos (apologize I don't have links) featuring Thorsten Hohmann/Mike Massey...

    Shouldn't cue's handle be axe handle shape?

    I like the normal round grip Snooker cues I've seen have a flat butt end that seems to help stabilize the cue on longer shots I don't know if its legal, but I'm surprised we don't see a rubber or plastic grip molded for a persons fingers like the rubber handgun grips (I don't care for these...

    Elevated-Cue Shots ... Are They Legal?

    Serious question (I'm not trolling) I always wondered why the rules don't treat all miscues as a foul? Example I can't "scoop" to make a legal jump shot, but I can "scoop" and make a ball. As in I tried to draw, but I unintentionally "scooped" the cueball. Both or neither should be fouls IMO

    What's the deal with pool players? A sport for angry and shitty people it seems

    I don't condone bad behavior, but you must not get out much. Tennis players throw their racket over the fence. Best golf tantrum I saw a guy pushed over his golf cart.

    Buddy Hall "Tuck & Roll"

    To bad Buddy Hall's life book can't be reprinted. I lost my copy during a bad moving experience. Also I wish somebody would get with Buddy and print an instructional book. Far as I know he doesn't play much anymore so he wouldn't be giving away his methods.

    1 year withouth pool or snooker, how to keep up skills

    Your health should come first. I had to take breaks anywhere from 6-12 months over the years. Write down what your doing now so you won't need to completely start over this could also be a perfect time to bank some money and book some lessons with a good coach. So when you start over its not...

    Aiming for pro within 5 years. Realistic?

    To reach Shane's level is beyond amazing, but he had a lot more going for him than just hitting balls in his basement He had access to top coaching, emotional support and practically unlimited table time from the time he was a baby. Once he was a teenager/adult he had financial backing to...
