Alright John. I'm calling shenanigans here. Are you honestly going to tell me you never had a period of a year or more where you practiced 8 hours a day? Most players (even serious ones) never had anywhere CLOSE to a year's uninterrupted practice time, and I still submit that much concentrated...

John, Then please explain why it took many years for Ralf to make the jump to the champion level. It's well documented that he was less than a stellar player when he first came to America. I'd be interested in your opinion on that. Also, the three main reasons you are a champion, John, above...

Well, that's the point, isn't it? Don't go the retail route until you are making enough money off your site sales to justify the time you spend setting up distributors. Honestly, this is the first time I've heard of your site, and if the prices were a little lower, I'd probably buy a bunch of...

That's a badass shirt. paying $15.00 for THAT shirt would even be a good bargain. Only thing that would be better is if it had his headshot form when he got the big huge paycheck from Trudeau... I'm not a huge fan of $20+ tshirts anyways, because I know how cheap it is to print them up. Russ

If anyone wants to drop an email to Pat asking him to never hire this dude to commentate again, email accu-stats@accu-stats.com I didn't watch the match, but I am sure that Martin ruined an otherwise GREAT match with his retarded commentary.. Russ

at the U.S. Open????????? My mouth dropped open when I saw that Accu Stats let him commentate. The guy is just horrible!! "Well, he'll just burp and get position for the 2." When I saw it was Kim Davenport beating Johnny Archer, I was SO disappointed that Martin was in the booth for it. Not...

$22.00 is WAY steep for the minimalist design. I hope that is because Efren is getting a cut. You can build your own tshirt on many sites for less than that. Russ

A good opponent will make that 9 from anywhere, because if that combo with pocket speed misses, the 9 will be hung up. Russ

I like his shot too... Just not crazy about letting the CB get off the rail, tho. But for someone who knows their half ball caroms well, I think you can rely on consistent CB placement near the back of the 8, if not directly behind it. Grady would like this shot! Russ

I think playing the 6 on the 9 in this way is a bad shot, and I will try to clarify why.. If you hit it good, but don't make it, you hang up the 9. You have to move the CB 10 feet, and if you go either 6 inches too short, or 6 inches too long, you are giving up a shot. Not only this..if you...

And furthermore... I'll say this about Jack's "instructions". Perhaps..Just PERHAPS.... Jack is more interested in creating utilitarian art than he is in making huge profits. For that matter, he may have decided that he is not going to put styrofoam, or ANY other material like that in his...

Okay... I'll start. The case in your sig looks like the case equivalent of those tacky spray painted McDermott monstrosities that every bar banger seems to think are the coolest ever. Not much "artistic flare", and seems to be "designed" more from the aspect of what will appeal to the unwashed...

Seriously, JB... What the F***, over? This is NOT a good business strategy.... ESPECIALLY when your competition is basically known as the high end case market leader. Promote your own line, and leave Jack alone. I mean, seriously, the only possible thing you can do here is force Jack to put...

Man o man, I can't believe anyone would accuse Rodney of doing anything shady. He's such a great guy. I mean, seriously...where do people get off with that? Russ

Jude, This is an example of the type of shots I practice to get the follow carom "feel" down. http://CueTable.com/P/?@4FKfH1GUma3HEtg3IJEb4PKRe1SdeC4aKfH1aGCj4aBJF4kKRe4kKnV1kbYy1kWKi1kUet@ I know it doesn't look high percentage, but I was demonstrating these shots to another good player that...

http://CueTable.com/P/?@4FHgY1GWvo3HEtg3IJEb4PLdO4SDqH4aHgY4aGSh1aBCx4kLdO4kHwI@ And on a second note, check the contact point on this diagram. it is not the same as your shot. Yours is basically a stop shot. Mine drives through the right half of the 6, which adds contact induced right english...

Jude, As long as it's not pretty much a double kiss by following through the 6 ball, the aim point can be adjusted to get the 8 in between the 6, no matter where the 6 banks to. In your diagram, the 6 is far enough from the rail to slightly adjust the follow carom amongst a few different...

I was considering this, but it seems wildly aggressive, and if you don't get behind either the 7 or 8, you opponent most likely gets a free shot to win, where with the safety, he's really gotta come with a spectacular kick, or get lucky. Russ

Did you try to follow and freeze to the 9? Seems very touchy from this angle. I don't really see any other high percentage offensive or defensive option. But then again...I AM a C player... :-) Short Bus Russ

http://CueTable.com/P/?@4FHgY1GWvo3HEtg3IJEb4PLdO4aHgY4aGSh1aBCx4kLdO4kHwI3kGrS@ Aim through the six ball at the thick part of the 9, find the closest part of the six ball to the 9, and then aim at that point with the middle of the CB and hit a medium follow shot. Six ball banks down table, 9...
