    Shy but wants to play

    I've been using an imaginary 'dotted line' to go from the center of the pocket through the center of my OB. It's been helping me 'see'. I was shooting well in practice today at a bar and I beat my pool buddy a few times......he's a 7 in BCA. I also beat a guy who said he wanted to learn...

    Ridinda9 has it right........the coach was standing right there with his finger on the rail when my opponent tried to bank his 8 ball. "Hit the 8 right here" he said. I thought he'd move away, but he didn't. He stood right there with his finger on the rail. He missed the bank shot. I missed...
