That's alright. I have a keen grasp on the reality of AZB

Rick first came to my attention about 6 weeks ago when he and C. j Wiley were a tag team defending the merits of teaching T.O.I to intermediate players. Some seem to think T.O.I. Is a radical concept that highly advanced ball pocketers should use if they wish but it will just mess up the minds...

Wow! Hey Rick- hang in there dude! You have my sympathy with this bombardment of unjust ,unwarranted, and ignorant attacks. I happen to use the pure pendulum stroke exclusively, but if you or others have different ideas I want to hear them and you were doing a pretty good job managing an...

I hear ya. I'm a newbie. I can learn from my mistakes. I shall make a concerted effort to eliminate the boredom from my gems of philosophy.

You Smart Ass! I have an iPad on my lap and a sandwich in my right hand and I'm trying to blow a flea off my screen and the little bastard won't move. So then I'm trying to flick it off with my finger and I can't quite get it so then I start blowing at it again. Smart Ass!

I decided at 11 that I was not going to attempt to play 14.1 until my shot making skill had reached a level where I stopped missing open shots on my 8 footer no matter how long the shot if it was at least a half ball hit. I've reached that level. Well; I cam't say I never miss, but when I do...

I have 4 1/2 Inch pockets with a 1 inch shelf on my home table. When I played on a Gold Crown with 4 1/2 pockets and a 2 inch shelf I was shocked when I hit the side fading and it rejected balls that would have easily gone in on my table.

Lol...nice going C.J....It might have something to do with the size of the ball also. Ronnie O'Sullivan is poetry in motion when he hits a snooker ball. I've also seen him hit a pool ball. When he hits a pool ball it's pretty good motion, but no poetry....you know I'd really love to proofread...

When I shoot in my basement I use both practice both T.O.I and center ball. I've come to the conclusion that T.O.I. Is the superior method but I still love the challenge of improving my center ball hit. Also I don't really enjoy watching pool matches on TV or the Internetui but I love watching...

Silly me. Thanks. That's it. Those articles for billiards digest are priceless. Meanwhile 3 weeks I said, "I consider the pool stroke to be an artistic expression. When I enter the realm of the artistic is when I progress the most. I'm sure poll books are highly beneficial to some and I'm not...

Hmmm. I think the only way I' m going to get out of this is to retire His Boy Elroy and register again as His Dog Astro. By the way I said I didn't care much for pool instruction books, but I used to read you a lot on a site associated with www.sfbilliards.com. This site had all kinds of links...

I wish posters would stop contributing to this thread so it would just disappear and my long post would disappear with it. I'm kinda embarrassed about it now. It sounds like I'm I'm tooting my own horn. I was being a little overdramatic there. When I was a kid there was nothing I would find more...

Thanks for the comments. I appreciate it. I'll think about it.

Lol - I cherish the time I spent alone in my backyard shooting free throws as a kid. I wasn't much of a basketball player. When I would run up and down the court I'd get winded before the other players. I couldn't throw a pass without it getting intercepted. If someone passed the ball to me too...

Nope, I'm not in sales. I'm 53 years old. My dad put a fine pool table in the basement when I was 11. I still live in the same house. I'll estimate I've played on that table for 10,000 hours. I've spent 2 hours of my life in a pool hall. Four these reasons I'm both very knowledgeable about some...

All the cues were tipless? What? You mean the folks in charge of the common area didn't know cues were supposed to have tips on them and no one bothered to tell them?

I don't know anything about the performance plus shaft. All I'll say is I bought a pechauer pro series sneaky Pete for $270 two weeks ago and Holy Shit! This thing is a magic wand! I previously played with a standard maple shaft McDermott I payed $170 for. I like it, but this pechauer is the...

Shall I assume what some of you are saying is that there are are only so many hours a pool player has to practice, there are many skills other than shot making that have to be learned, therefore pool players never reach their potential in all of these skills, including shot making?Shall I then...

I've read on these posts many times references to how money players can't remain unknown for long since the emergence of the Internet. At the same time, I can't recall many posts in this forum (I've only been here since April) requesting information about unknown players. So where and how on the...

Maybe I'm going to have to think about my writing style. You're not the only person has criticized it. Also, when I look at my posts I see there are often many mistakes that I could have corrected if I had proofread it but I have such trouble negotiating with those damn little arrows in an...
