I have two sets. A set of aramith premier's that came with my table, and a set of brunswick centennials.

I'd love to cure this. I clinch the cue and radially deviate my cue often on hard strokes. It causes my tio to dive down and move inwards. Definitely the worst part of my stroke. My game s so much better when I can avoid this.

I work as a physical therapist, and encounter people with the spinal stimulator at times. It definitely has merit, and is a reasonable solution to try if all other means of treatment have failed. Of course I am assuming that you have exhausted other treatment options. Sarno's books are...

I am skeptical like others on here, just because so few people can accomplish the feat of beating the 13 ball ghost. I would love to see some video of coco9 play just to be able to see what he can do. I don't think it really matters what "knowledgeable" people say about a pro vs. the 13 ball...

Absolutely. High quality craftsmanship abilities has little to do with a person's level of play. I imagine a lot of good cue makers spend so much time learning and perfecting their craft, that they don't have the time to commit to pool that it takes to get to that next level of play. Also, a...

The hole in golf may be the same size, but the course itself is vastly different than what it would be if the pros came to play on it. Also, bowling lanes and sizes are the same, but the oil patterns are rarely the same as what the pros play on. If you make any of these games as hard as they...

Sounds like awfully good advice to me. None of the other things you thought he might tell you would be of any value if you aren't keeping your head down. That is game changing advice that can take you up a ball or two right away if you didn't realize that you weren't keeping it down. Those...

There was a year where she won every wpba event of the year. That was before the better females of today came over, but still very impressive.

Nice gesture overall but kind of crappy in the end. They get to play each other in the finals, and don't even play it out. 3-0 in a race to 5 doesn't seem like something that's going to take that long to get done. I have never personally been in favor of splitting pots. I don't go to...

I read the book and thought it was a great story. The underdog fat kid with a loveable personality who overcomes depression by playing pool and become the worlds number one ranked player sounds like a great hollywood storyline to me.

I have had this same problem. For me, the most important thing is starting the forward part of my stroke in a controlled and relaxed manner. If I try to accelerate too aggressively, I will over grip my cue and engage my shoulder muscles often causing significant steering of the cue and a drop...

Agreed! Well put.

I certainly wouldn't be proud of it, nor would I be bragging about how I cheat people out of their money by hustling them.

I think that people get called "hustler" for playing well sometimes, just because you have to be good to be a hustler. If that is the case, then its probably a compliment. If people call you that because their is truth to it, then I would not consider it flattering. It would be kind of like...

I consider myself a C+ player. On 3 different occasions I have run 3 straight racks of 9 ball, and on several occasions, I have run 4-5 in a row playing the 7 ball ghost. However, if you watched my average game, you would never think that was the case. Part of being a lower level player is...

By the time you have a pro come in to do it, you could buy a much nicer used table, and the problem will be solved.

f you have had it that long, feel it plays true, and enjoy playing on it, then what do you care what people think of the table, especially if you aren't looking to sell it? Continue to play pool on it and have fun.

This is well stated and all true. However, the major flexor of the elbow is actually the Brachialis muscle. I'm sure that no one would get it though if we used that muscle for description instead of the biceps.

When you say uncocking, do you mean going from a position of ulnar deviation to radial deviation, or the other way around? I have had a terrible time with this type of thing for the past yr or so. I noticed that radially deviating my wrist caused increased spin, so I started using it more and...

If you read my last post on this page, you will see that I said I believe the elbow drop is a result of accelerating too violently from backstroke to forward movement, using my shoulder muscles instead of just the elbow flexors, and overgripping the cue. In essence, I agree with what you are...
