    Instructors or those in the know

    Not to be difficult, but are you referring to timing in the sense that he feels rushed while shooting? or can't pull the trigger? or maybe yanking the cue from the back swing early? I'm curious. G.

    break thru!

    Having only played 3c for a few months seriously, I have nice little break thru moments fairly often because there is so much to learn. BUT, I have had 2 that felt like I figured out secret info you usually have to pay to learn :) I am still working them out to 100% but here they are. 1.> The...

    Kamikaze tips....AWESOME product! great to deal with.

    First off,...I am not a sales rep for Kamikaze tips, nor do I have anything to do with the business besides being a satisfied customer! Last month I ran out of my go to tips which were Talisman soft, and or medium Elk Master. I saw the offer on AZB from Kamikaze and tried out their soft and...

    Pavlos Zachariadis arrives in the States

    Carre'... I looked it up as soon as I read the word! If I am correct in the terminology it means to "keep square" or I guess as the cloth is considered the shots will keep their expected line around the table with Royal Pro cloth, and that is why I am going to have it installed on my table if I...

    Wrist, yea, but what about the hand?

    No Lou, I did the tests a day apart. Actually I did the first 2 in the same day....1 at 10am, the other after dinner....then the third the next afternoon as to not be able to cheat or be warmed up! :) G.

    Wrist, yea, but what about the hand?

    GREAT conversation guys!...exactly what I was looking for. So, over the last couple of days I seat up my own experiment to attempt to justify using any one of the 3 ways I am gripping the cue. I'll call them "full" = fingers closed around the cue..."pinky" seemingly similar to full, but VERY...

    Wrist, yea, but what about the hand?

    https://vimeo.com/18252195 This is a link to the way I play 10ball with a very loose grip. Yea, I can move the CB around, but I do tend to unexpectedly lose whitey now and then....that is what I am working on now. I am not really unhappy with my game, I guess just trying to tighten up things a...

    Wrist, yea, but what about the hand?

    hey guys, thanks for the input. I just went to the basement to test a few things.....here's what I noticed so far. > dropping the pinky straightens out my stroke....disclaimer>>>I have been a plumber 30 years and most of my fingers/wrist have been busted multiple times...might have something to...

    I was in your shoes 3 years ago, and a crazy good deal came my way, and pooof! now I have my 3c here at home :) I do feel bad for my GC pocket table....it has been relegated to a covered gun work bench....sad really.

    Price of Pool R U Kidding Me

    on the same note...I have worked in pool rooms that have both hourly and pay-as-you-go and most newbys opt to shovel coins in thinking its cheaper, or they wont be there an hour? After the 2nd or 3rd visit they figure it out. G.

    Wrist, yea, but what about the hand?

    I was reading the extensive thread about the wrist in the pool stroke. I realized I pretty much never think about my wrist, but I do pay very much attention to my hand. I go thru different sessions of keeping my entire hand closed around the cue thru the shot, and then I will find myself...
