    Old balls - Ivory

    ill upload a picture tonight i made of my oldest carom ivory ball set (around 1850). This ball was so old, you could perfectly see the typical ivory cross pattern in it. I made a closeup. how to recognise: - 2 black dots on either side of the ball. the nerve from the tusk going from one side to...

    World Championships Pool Juniors

    just got a phonecall from Kamilla's father. that website is the only one. They should have a free lifestream link. i can't check it right now, because i miss some flash plugins on this computer. I know kamila is as good as you can get in europe, AND she's only 14y old compared to most players...

    The Mental Game

    Hey Joe, I would like to thank you personally too for this read. Just like quiet eye technique, this post is in my eyes just as important as technique once you get passed a certain level... I don't regulary use triggers, and if i sometimes i do , its only a single trigger. The idea of 2...

    World Championships Pool Juniors

    exactly.... everyone knows this, but nobody does something about it. They already arent getting any $, the least they could get is coverage so they can have better chances in finding a good sponsership. If you come across results, websites, lifestream etc, let me know.

    Pool Hall Pictures from Vienna

    this really is a nice example of how a poolroom SHOULD be. I always love how you use the focusing of the lense to make you pictures so beautifull. keep up the good work m8 ! you pictures are always top class ! I wouldnt mind getting a poster or two of some of your pictures to hang in my poolroom.

    Can't get my stroke straight. AARf

    Hey spider. I had tested this before some time before i made this post. (I dont know if you remember my post about the quiet eye, but you should read it if not.) Believe me, i have been "fixing" for 3 years without any consistant result, accept from now. If a friend comes to me with problems...

    Anybody marking up their shafts?

    ive had the same idea you had, a year ago. I had posted it here, and talked about it with colin in pm's. I have marked my shaft with rings i draw with a pencil. I had 5 rings, for 5 pivot points for the 5 "main" speeds i used. Even if i know by experience where the pivot point is, the lines...

    John Schmidt 6 Pocket Challenge

    another problem i see in 6 pockets, is the rather low difficulty level of a perfect score compared to other games. I think getting a perfect score (10 x 15balls) is NOT SO hard. In a pro event, im sure, the differences will be so small and many will make a perfect score. How do you play from...

    9-Ball Video Contest (23): Can You Run This Rack?

    in 4 hours im home. in 5 hours the video will be ready :D This is a tough one. not many balls left on the table and 2 problems. My guess would be to solve the 2 clusters with one shot. the 2 is already a hard shot as it is. Using the 2 to do this would make it a to low percentage shot. I would...
