Arnaldo, i have no idea what idiom means, but i guess it's a compliment :grin-square: i speak a lot of languages, but I'm very bad in writing. There are 4-5 errors in every sentence :D lucky i have auto correct on that helps a lot. acousticsguru: you might be right that the 8 doesn't go. I'm...

Darren appleton broke his record 25 june 2015 - 295 balls Ivo Aerts broke his record 8 march 2015 - 210 balls (not sure where to alltime highscore post/link was, but any 200+ run is always nice to keep as a record)

hi dave, found the website today. waiting for my camera to set it up officialy. did the first exam as a quick test and got only a 69 out of it. 9ft 4.5's diamond pro will do some training and then do all the exams on video when i feel i'm ready. I watched your runs, guess your highscore...

broke my ghost record today 9ball with bih. broke bad, but played the lights out (previous record was 7-4 win) : 7-2 L , 9' Diamond 4 1/2" hoping to install a camera soon , so i can upload a couple of vid's. :thumbup:

my short 14-1 training: - i usually start with watching a match of 14-1. i write down , one thing i saw and keep it in mind to try to incorporate it into my game. - then i place an open table (no balls close to the cussion) and run the table without touching any rail and with as much as...

totally agree. I honestly just don't open them and ignore them and tbh i don't get what all the fuss is about. i haven't been long enough yet, but it feels like if you would remove 100% of all the: "damn this site sucks" posts , you would actually remove 95% of all the negative energy that is...

my cent, since i know some of the top female players. Khodjaev, wendy jans I think , if you remove the break, theoretically all the rest equal (starting age, amount of training, same natural skills, same experience vs same strength players, etc) they could be very close to equal, but still a...

Managed to convince Will to get another taxi clock :rolleyes:. Hope he is happy with it. :thumbup: They where originally used for billiard/3c, but when i went on holliday in portugal i remember the local poolroom used it for pool too. they just took 3 random balls and lock them up. here's a...

pitty it's a 2FPS stream with only 31people watching. Horrible FPS rate tbh.

thanks steve. i'll check what the cheapest option is. I need to incorporate shipping, import charges, taxes. What about my idea to glue an old set of poolballs to train breakshots and learn how the cb reacts after contact? I also talked to my teammate about training and as soon as i can do...

just watched BJ's review of niels 116 run. Good job BJ :) Love it how u have some keywords in all your reviews. i like the "BAM just like that" :grin-square: Anyway, with niels his position play and shotmaking, he can run loads of balls, but I found it a more modern type of straight pool. the...

I was hoping i had capella, and i really thought i did but i don't. no idea where i can still find his book+dvd. gonna try my luck on ebay, but guess it's a long shot. I just finished jim rempe's 2 part dvd and i can say i learned a ton ! He also mentioned an exercise that he recommands to...

Hi blackjack, long time no see :) I'll add you on FB if thats ok with you. always nice to follow people i admire. I got enough material at the moment to get me going for some time. thanks for the offer. I've got line up: danny harrimans big run to study, i got a couple of schmidt run's with...

I haven't been on this forum for some years, so i have a lot of posts to read up again, and i'm sure there is amazing information to be find in other posts, but thanks for the reply ! @sparkle: i'm sure i'll come along your posts when reading up the older posts. looking forward to it. i'm...

4 hours a week for 40 years, thats a lot of hours :D but i agree the 100 goal might be too big a jump, but 50 doesn't feel like a good longterm goal, as i've done 30 and 40's already in practice. It's hard to find a good longterm goal. i've got my short and midterm goals ready, but no idea...

Hi, I just would like to share my personal 14-1 story. I'm a B player from belgium, and I'm one of the rare players who's favorite game is straight pool. I just don't know why, but i can get into the zone and enjoy the game a lot more then any other game. i rarely play it in a match, as there...

i'm not sure about the cloth or cushions, i think they aren't very different. they use a different kind of brand but are very similar. the balls on the other hand are lighter then the usual aramiths, and may be the reason svb is overhitting many shots.

i'm a very good runnerup :D actually its funny, i pay alot of attention to my gear, but i never in my life bought a good quality chalk. i'm always using old leftovers. shame on me

I totally agree dave. Lets hope she can step it up even more and get to be the top female player in the world. I'm not sure what balls they used, but i remember kamila telling me they were going to use cyclops balls and that they where lighter. her sponser offered her a chinese pooltable, but...

yup, this is her first try at chinese 8ball. it's A LOT different then pool and she still gets beaten by the more experiences chinese players who play only that game, just as the top man players get beaten by those who play this game all the time The balls are different (weight. i know kamila...
