    Hitting center of the cue ball

    I also have a theory. I also have no proof to confirm this: I believe most top pro's are using T.O.I on the vast majority of their shots. I believe the rest are using T.O.O. I don't believe there's a single top pro in the world who shoots center ball other than when shooting straight in shots or...

    Hitting center of the cue ball

    Hey...Wrickyb! (post #5) Show some class when choosing avatars, would ya' ? Would you really want to bring home to mom any woman who shows up in a pool room with a top like that? Also; she's sitting that way on purpose and she knows damn well what she's doing with the back of her cue! JEEEZE...

    Dominant hand

    They try; but, no one has yet come up with an adequate explanation for why some hockey players play with their right hand on the bottom of the stick, ( right shot) and some play with their left hand on the bottom of the stick. ( left shot) As I wrote...they try. You can poke holes in every...

    Want to buy a Gold Crown and trick it out...What do I do?

    Jerimy Chambers (yes...Jerimy with an "I") is a mechanic who's shop is in New Lennox. He's not only highly respected in Chicagoland, but all over the Midwest. He did a sub - rail extension on my GC4 and reduced the corners to 4.3/8. The sides are 5.0. I couldn't be happier with them. You'll be...

    Diamond pro-cut 4.5" vs GC 4.25" pockets.

    When I say, "IMO it's a perfectly fair table," I judge that by feel. When I play, the instant, the ball leaves my tip, I know if I hit it "True enough" that I deserve a drop. I also know at that instant when I don't deserve a drop. With my pockets at 4.3/8" I get what I deserve and don't get...

    Diamond pro-cut 4.5" vs GC 4.25" pockets.

    A few years ago I bought a used GC4 with standard factory pockets. (5.1"?) I live in the Chicago area. I had a highly respected mechanic around here named Jerimy Chambers extend the sub - rails. At first I was going to go with 4.5" corners. Jerimy told me the process would shorten the shelf a...

    Rules question

    So I'm playing on my G4 last night...just throwing 15 balls out there and banging them in. A ball I tried to make in the corner ratttled, then stopped on the lip. 2 minutes later I made a shot in the side, opposite the corner pocket with the ball on the lip. The ball I made in the side had some...

    Fun Help thread

    Are you a serious player who practices frequently and for long hours, or are you more of a recreational player who only plays when you have friends over. If you're the latter, go with what looks the best. If you're the former.....well there's a reason why the traffic signal for " Go" is green...

    Efren still my hero.. 5 on the snap.

    I can only assume you noticed four easier ways Efren could have gotten a hit on that ball and left himself safe that he failed to pick up on. Enlighten us, would ya'?

    Efren still my hero.. 5 on the snap.

    I don't how to post links to YOU TUBE videos; but if anyone wants to see the most perfectly executed safety shot ever performed on a pool table, you can see Reyes do it against Van Boening at the 2017 Derby Cuty Classic. It's at 47:00

    Curious observation about oldtimer's strokes

    There's another thread on the front page called, " Who's the best all - around player of all time." In post # 10 there's a link to an interesting article about Harold Worst. So after reading it I went over to YOU TUBE to see if I could catch a glimpse of his game. That's all I could catch...a...

    Ronnie OSullivans American Hustle Season 1 Episode 1 on Youtube

    I just tried both the O.P's link and the link provided by Mista335 in post # 79. In both instances I was greeted with this message: "This video is no longer available due to a copywriter claim by North One Television."

    Gold Crown IV Cushions/Replacements

    I also had Jerimy Chambers install Artemis intercontinental cushions ( He said it should be my preference. There is a slight more spring to the artemis then the super speeds...that's all) and perform the sub - rail modifications necessary in order to have my GC IV converted to pro - cut pocket...

    Anyone else like me?

    I have a choice here. Do I write 4000 words or just stick to a single sentence. What? The gallery is voting you say? OK!........IF YOU'RE ODD YOU HAVE COMPANY!

    Molding the young player?

    What you say makes sense if the kid is willing to abide with whatever method is placed before her as far as making her tall enough for the table. If she feels restricted and loses interest though.......all I can say is I started playing in a regulation 8 footer when I was 11. I was the shortest...

    Can someone explain shot to me?

    When posting in this thread, I think I violated a rule I made for myself about a year ago. I told myself anytime I had an idea that I believed other posters might find a bit " Off the wall," wait a day before scribbling! As Ronnie O'Sullivan was quoted saying in a "New Yorker magazine profile...

    Can someone explain shot to me?

    If all I do is troll, the troll patrol should be comforted by the fact that I've only posted in 10 threads so far in 2016! .....and Neil! Jeeze! I haven't made the veins stick out in your neck by talking about T.O.I. In any of 'em! Alright all.....I wouldn't have posted anything if I didn't...

    Can someone explain shot to me?

    When writing of the shot, I used the letters IMHO. Ugh...this means, "In my humble opinion." So you're trying to help me? I guess this now means my opinion is so crazy, while at first you thought it possible I was the benevolent crazy type, my refusal to accept your efforts toward my reform...
