    Why do I hate league pool so much?

    1. You should be wearing a shirt that says "I'm Jay Helfert, who the hell are you!" Don't wear a shirt that says "Vince' everyone will start calling you Vince. LOL 2. You need to remind yourself why you joined league if it still sucks finish the season and move onto another experience. 3...

    Was it slop, or was it intentional?

    I remember this match. Skill on the safe slop on the ball going in. Hard to find two more colorful players than these two. Moro would run more racks jumping up in the air than a lot of players with perfect looking fundamentals. Thank you for posting I know people have their negative stories...

    How to Learn Better Patterns/Shot Choices.

    I enjoy reading this thread. This is the kind of a thread about how to play better that makes me log on to AZ. Patterns only make sense to a player if they can play the position shots. i would watch the David Sapolis (hopefully I didn't misspell his name again)14.1 videos on youtube. He has...

    I wonder how many master cue makers are out there.

    Whatever the definition of a "master' is Ned Morris from Desert Hot Springs, Ca has to be considered one.

    Speed Control: The Secret Ingredient

    What comes first the chicken or the egg? Better players are experts at coming with the first shot and controlling both cueball direction and speed. Once they are in line they are expert at controlling cueball direction and leaving a shot I remember a number of accustat tapes where the...

    Moving GC 3

    Thank you for the reply that helps me a lot. The table is completely disassembled looking at a possible move of around 1900 miles. Should the slate be packed on side or lying down flat in truck? I planned to pad the wood frame

    Moving GC 3

    I might be doing a personal long distance move. I'm looking at renting a UHaul truck trying to figure out how big of a truck i will need. I have other stuff that weighs a lot so just ordering a 10 foot truck doesn't help How much does a GC 3 weigh?

    Seriously, Do you like pool events on 7 foot table?

    What makes any event pro pool anyway? Golf has different levels of pro tours with strict qualifying standards for players to compete pool doesn't. Its fun watching Webb tour golfers play on easier courses than the PGA tour and watching these talented golfers tear it up. That would be like 7...

    No game like it

    My two cents is that for those exposed to pool it takes a little bit of skill to play and a lot of skill to play well.

    Grandson learning pool

    Congratulations he'll remember that forever. When I was that age my Dad's cousin had a table their kids were all gone so I would come over during the winter and play pool. Don't be afraid to sometimes let him play you even kids adapt to what's given them.

    Ha! POV pool will probably post the Hard times one pocket matches. Very good matches AZ's Jay Helfert is on one of them as well. Darn I should have kept my mouth shut and not ruined Jay's action. I could have kept quiet and maybe he woud have given me a percentage. ;)
