I'm not sure I do the same thing, but it sounds similar. I align, get down on the shot, position my cue tip where I want to hit the cue ball, and I take the shot. Almost a normal shooting routine minus all the sawing back and forth. In my case it's probably a stroke bandaid, but it works pretty...

I think the contrast/clarity comment was right on. All the same benefits espoused in the HD Vision Wraparounds- As Seen On TV ads.

I know everyone says to practice how you play, but for me... I don't. If there's a tough shot or a BS safe choice in practice, I try the shot. I push myself in practice to see where my limits are, and I end up in dead stroke for my level of play. With no consequences for missing hanging over the...

Corey seems happiest challenging himself. He obviously has enough talent to compete at a high level in pool playing the same way everyone else does. Rather than grind out hours of conventional practice, he seems more happy using that time and his talent perfecting things like an 8 ball soft...

The platform/nails solution comes from as good a source as there is... but to satisfy your curiosity, it's been my experience that the table (GC3 in my case) will collapse the carpet and pad. If you can't implement the platform/nails idea for whatever reason, assemble the frame where it needs to...

I'm in. Far worse ways to part with five bucks.

The measurements and physical differences are easily verified, but the subjectivity inherent in claims of "better" makes a lot of the claims difficult or impossible to back up with anything repeatable. It's all in the preference of the user. One thing I'm curious about is the wider subrail...

I thought the joke was excellent. As for the question, center ball is the only way to play without chalk. You can sneak off center occasionally, but you'll get a miscue if you try to do too much.

When you were a terrible beginner he did it to keep you in the game. Now that you're the better player, why is it suddenly a problem? Play by whatever rules prevail in whatever format you can, and have fun doing it. Rules/ equipment/ strategy snobs miss out on a great bit of fun while...

Don't forget the merchandise for all us suckers who want something other than Hustler and Color of Money posters. I took Jacksonville, MikeyFrost and I are pretty much best friends. No big deal. Hoping to meet all the AZ TV stars when I visit NY later this year, and looking forward to the show!

I can't say it's how I would do things, but Roy feels slighted and his website is his venue for airing the grievance. My own interactions with Bryan were favorable, and others have reported the same. Anyone considering him for a future cue purchase should be able to search his name and find the...

The rule seems adequately discussed; I just want to know who ended up winning the replay?

I've had good success with a first-ball break like in 10 ball. High percentage for one of the second balls going in the side.

I played some doubles tournaments with my wife years ago that used a handicap based games race format. My mediocre level and her terrible level put us at needing 2 games to win vs any other team, and I won at least 1 rack per match for 3 rounds as I recall. Valley tables with fast cloth make the...

I have more trouble with accuracy when trying to follow, but it's usually because I'm trying to hit too hard. Just like a draw shot, a well executed stroke at mid speed will move the cue ball more than you think. On my GC3, I see a shot that I need to hit with top to come back up the table and...

We had a problem with people not reading and adhering to the rules. Now we just have the reading issue to deal with.

One of the spots behind the 1 ball... alternate and see which side they break better from. If they change to an overall weaker/worse break chasing the money ball it'll usually backfire on them. Also, trying to go cross side with the second ball will end up putting the money ball on or near the...

When I played APA there was a team that did this exact thing. The bar we played at paid all dues, so it didn't even cost the team to play that second night. Sandbagging affects the team you're playing for, but it also affects the team you're playing. Leave the handicap determination out of the...

Lucasi has used Uniloc quick release joints for a while, but they also had a quick release joint the same as Players called a Turbo joint or some such. Pictures would get you a 100% answer and likely links to purchase, but without pictures there are still only a couple of possibilities. Search...

My shotmaking is better than my position play, so I prefer pockets on the tight side of fair and average speed cloth. I can move the cue ball fine, just not predictable with my speed most of the time. Most times I'm getting weight, so it's nice to have tighter pockets that rattle balls and...
