    manipulating the system = sandbagging

    I have played APA, BCA, local cash leagues, weekly handicap tournaments and to be honest I dont see as much sandbagging as people make it seem. Dont take it wrong, there is sandbagging in almost any handicap format but just not as much, someone plays good one or a couple of nights and that...

    Playing better while medicated

    I gotta tell you its not "marijuana" that has done this to people or families, its the people consuming it. Im not defending drugs here because I am a pot head or a recreational drug user, but peoples lack of self control is what causes this, I mean, lets look at the flip side of legal drugs...

    Drag follow

    Thank you Bob, I practiced it for a little bit. on those shots aiming at the "sucker side" half of the pocket seems to solve the problem. I also noticed that if the CB just barely starts rolling forward when is impacting the OB it looks like it creates some kind of skid on the OB and it throws...

    Drag follow

    So I have a question, I've noticed everytime I do a thin cut drag follow (or just drag kill) I hit the OB too thick, I'm playing on a ring game right now and every person I've seen it do it under cut it. Is there a reason why this is happening? I don't have a problem with thin cuts using top...

    What's The Point Of It? Seriously . . . Brutal Honesty Required . . .

    I ask myself the same all the time, what is that I want to accomplish? I guess one perfection. I started getting serious about pool because I wanted to prove certain people wrong, yes I do love the game but I dedicate this collosal amount of time for selfish reason, I wanna be better than...

    Makes sense, and it's in accordance to my previous post.

    Playing better while medicated

    That's a tough question, and without any kind of long term study and research you can't make an accurate conclusion on the topic. Having said that, we have to remember we are not perfect human beings, we also are alive because we are this huge self sufficient chemical laboratory, but since we...

    TAR Podcast Johnny Archer: "It's feel what we're doing"

    There is so much discussion about systems and feel it really gets crazy, at the end of the day we all have to use systems and we all have to use feel, it's inevitable, there's no perfect "system" otherwise the game would have been already been figured out, and obviously our feel is wrong many...

    Have You Ever Snapped A Cue ?

    Lets see, I've broken shafts, ferrules, butts, once I hit my cue so hard against the table that the metal joint BENT. I used to have a really bad temper for some reason playing pool. After I broke my last expensive predator, I bought one more and promised myself I would never get mad again and...

    Open V Bridge vs Closed

    I completely disagree with what some people say that an open bridge or a closed bridge is more accurate than the other, they both can be equally as accurate and you can do about every shot one way or the other. Sometimes they will teach you to use a closed bridge for powers shots, that's just...

    lenght of bridge

    So it seems like a lot of it has to do with the evolution of the game/games. I used to try and play every shot at the same "bridge distance" like I mentioned before and I feel like it created two main problems for me. 1. Getting out of line by overhitting the cue ball, which in my opinion is not...

    lenght of bridge

    And that is how Ive always shot, however my speed control is one of the things that has need the most control. Recently someone suggest to change the bridge distance slightly depending of the shot, it seems like it has worked real good in controlling my speed and staying in line since I can only...

    Need Break cue

    I think finding a break cue is like finding a good cue after you have been playing for a few years. There is so much to learn about the break, the rack, the balls, how they react on different tables. Its the single most important, one of the most difficult shots in pool and vastly overlooked...
