Everything stated above is important and makes sense, but it looks like everyone is forgetting what actually drives every sport. It's a huge base of recreative and casual players. Why is basketball so popular while some people don't even consider pool a sport? Because basketball is a part of...

No matter how awesome this looks, it's still more fun to blast things yourself ;)

I'd like to hear as much information about this as possible: detailed description, when it is used, background and development, some notable uses in important matches, your personal experience etc. Nothing is too much.

Actually, it can be used in many games, but the rules have to allow slop. I was talking about it being a good tactic only when any safety is a poor option. And with time you can learn how to reduce the chances of a ball like the 8 falling in when doing this. This is exactly what I had in mind...

Finally someone agrees with me. Miracle! I wonder where the usual crew is right now, I'd like to see them try to beat both your and my arguements.

Not counting some ridiculous position play or intentionally scattering a tight group of balls. I mean this as shooting hard at your ball(s) in an attempt to pocket something by luck, which everybody says is idiotic. I understand that shooting at pocket speed or playing a safety is a way more...

Many personal examples I do have, but only one tell now I will. There was this guy, a good player btw, but so annoying and full of himself, a standard wild specimen of a young male a**hole, biologists would say. He kept making fun of my playing style and skills, and soon he challenged me to a...

One time I went through months of slump, I can't remember winning more than one match. I remember losing without winning a single game. Then it all suddenly changed and, before I knew it, I was playing better than ever. I took on players who used to make me look like a dumb cripple during my...

Iron Willy?! Sounds like a pornstar.

More that some people here did or think they did. I have no time to explain now, I'll post something in a week or two.

My foolishness? People like you are responsible for so many suckers in the world. You just stand in the way of knowledge and sanity.

1. I explained that you need to think about pocketing as a priority instead of position play. I was only talking about the offensive part of the game, not that you need to play every shot offensively. 2. When your only alternative is a very likely miss or a rather bad safety, it becomes your...

I'm not saying anything about him, I'm just pointing out how ridiculous this whole story about my relations to him is. What is even sadder is that I'm not the only victim of someone's false accusations. Search that name up, you'll see that at least two or three more people were accused of being...

When I first came here people mistakened me for some infamous bad guy and everyone hated me. Today, people consider me a bad guy of my own and hate me even more. We all get used to the beauties of pool community sooner or later ;-)

I'm sorry it even happened, but don't worry, with that care, the antibiotics and all of us on AZ as your support, you'll be great before you know it ;-)

The feeling is getting mutual then. And please, what would your arguments be? I can't wait to hear them :)

As far as I can tell your strategy seems fine, especially when winning is the top priority. Just a couple of things which can greatly increase your personal chances of beating their best players: 1. Never risk missing to play better position. Pocketing a ball whenever possible is crucial against...

I did. Still not getting it.

Yes, I did, my bad. So?
