    Break Stats -- Steinway Classic 10-Ball, August 2013

    I wonder how the tournaments would go if they played 10ball, racked by a referee and the players would not be allowed to look at the rack.

    Back to Manila

    Question about matches in manila You might be able to answer this question for me since its been killing me and I cant figure out the answer. Ive been watching some of the money matches from the Philippines on youtube. I see how they put the powder on the rail of the table and they use it...

    Regarding APA....

    I for one think that APA 8-ball for the longest time has favored the higher ranked player. If you look at the win ratios for sessions you can see how the high rank players win a whole lot more 8ball than the low ranks, and when it comes down to 9ball the higher rank player wins less than the low...

    Music or Silence?

    I guess I am the only one who really doesn't care lol. Maybe because I am so used to play in so many different pool halls, some are silent some are loud, some have good music, some have bad, some is rap, some is country. It really doesnt matter. Im there to play pool and that's it. If I am...

    "The Decider" Free weekend Pass contest.

    It is a great thing that we all can watch some of the greatest players in the world play at their best while we are in the comfort of our own home. I am thankful that I learned how to play this game on this era of technology where it is so easy to learn the game in comparison with the players of...

    What state has the highest level of play?

    I live here in NC and I have done some traveling and for what I have seen the conglomeration of "A" players and above is pretty big overall, more than I have seen in any other state I have visited. What are your opinions on this?

    Good fitting Glove?

    Guys Im looking for a good fitting glove, unfortunately I have long skinny fingers and it is hard for me to find a glove with no finger tips that fits well and snug. I like the poison one but the S/M size it comes on its still a little bit too big for me. Ive bought other gloves and sew them...

    Have you seen this

    My little brother did. We used to play soccer growing up so we have the tendency of stopping/picking things up with our feet. So he tried to step on it to stop the cueball from rolling. He slipped, and ended up doing a split in the floor lol

    Could you be a pro player?

    I have only played a handful of times on bar boxes. the 7pack was on a tournament match not apa match. But apa here is played on 9ft tables. Matter of fact I was really surprised that they play apa in vegas and most of the country in 7ft tables. It really makes me wonder how is the skill...

    Could you be a pro player?

    JB the 7 pack is more of a fluke, everything was going right for me that night, getting the rolls, the break was working phenomenal, the stars were aligned, i had a breakfast of champs etc lol... Wish I could, but I cant take all the credit, I have had (and spent a lot of money) getting...

    Could you be a pro player?

    This is a really hard question to answer. Too many factors and variables involved. As an example I think I got the most recent story; I have been playing pool now for exactly 2 and a half year. Two and a half years ago I didnt really even know how to hold a cue, didnt even know what pool was...

    stuff to remind my noobies about APA at states

    justadub, in reference to the jump shots on APA a lot of it has to do with local bylaws, on the national level you are allowed to jump (a legal jump shot) with your full cue, however some local bylaws on local leagues allow you to switch cues and use either your break cue or your playing cue, an...

    stuff to remind my noobies about APA at states

    on #1...Lord have mercy on the soul that is going to try and call a foul on me if he makes the 9ball and scratches and I pick both up with one hand out of the pocket and tries tell me its ball in hand LOL. #2 it's clearly stated in the rule book that rule questions or remarks as "nice shot"...

    Break Shot

    I spend many hours every week practicing the break, working on controlling the cueball, reading the rack to play one or more balls in a pocket and trying to control the one ball in rotation games. I've tried to modeled my break to be similar to Shane's break; this is the first time I've got it...

    Finding a good instructor

    What's wrong with that? That's usually a good method to get your body aligned with the line of the shot
