Agreed. I like the fact that Joe Rogan is a pool fan, and I like having him offer some thoughts on the game and the players, but in terms of trying to describe the shots you need someone in there with actual knowledge. Even Jerry, Ken, and Jay fall short in that respect. I don't know who...

Is that pin the same as a Schon?

Can't agree with you about the talent, Earl is as talented at cue sports as any human. Besides, they said Jimmy was more talented than Davis or Hendry too, but that didn't stop him from losing to them, over and over again. My guess is that had White been a pool player from birth he would have...

Um what? Much as I like Jimmy, he was fairly well-known for blowing it on the big occasion. I mean you're talking about someone who was basically a supporting figure to the greats of his era, whereas Earl WAS the great of his era (along with maybe Johnny and Mike Sigel). Jimmy won, as...

It will be a lot harder to yawn with your foot buried in your mouth like that, considering Joe Davis held the world championships for TWENTY YEARS and used a closed bride.

Foot, meet mouth.

Bump.......

Bump for a new week

Friday bump. FYI I may consider trading for a Predator BK cue, but the original only. I'm not interested in the BK2.

Selling my Mace jump/break cue by Rick Howard. The cue hits very well and jumps perfectly. It's in fairly good condition with a few dings from normal wear, but the shaft is good and I recently had the wrap cleaned and polished and added a brand-new Samsara break tip. The ferrule is phenolic...

Except according to the stats, they played 184 games and there were only FOUR games where someone missed a ball, lucked it in another pocket and then ran out. That's about 2% by my calculations. Hardly seems worth all the nonsense of the call shot rules if you ask me.

I lol'd. Good one.

Eat half a banana before a big match, then if you get a little hungry later on have another bite or two. It will nourish you and give you a good level of energy, while the potassium will help keep your nerves even. It's basically the perfect food.

Nice video. I might do something similar soon when I do some Kamui testing myself. Also gotta hand it to you for putting yourself out there. Let's see if softshot gives it a try with drywall. He might have a chance, if memory serves drywall dust and billiard chalk share a lot of the same...

Well you need to get out a little more. Not only do snooker pros totally understand the idea of deflection (though they may have a different term for it) the experienced ones will also understand that not only do you have to allow for it when using side, you also have to compensate for it...

For me it was about 5 years of playing a LOT. I would say I wasn't a serious A player until I started playing in lots of tournaments and gambling against other strong players, though. For me the biggest difference between being a B player and an A player is, without a doubt, confidence. As...

This, this, and more this.

I'm gonna agree that the best way to aim, by far, is by instinct, and that is something that can't be taught, only learned. You do need a basic foundation though, and there are a lot of ways to get that, either through 'ghost ball', point of contact, or whatever. In the end I don't think it...

Well in theory that's how it would work, but it might take some help to get going. An organization like the WPA and the BCA, plus whatever else is out there, could form something like a 'Grand Slam Committee' to try and help get each of the respective events to the needed status, then hopefully...

For my money it's stupid for pool to even have a world championship. I said years ago that it would be far better to have a Grand Slam scenario, and structure the year around four large tournaments promoted in different regions by different bodies, along the lines of tennis and golf. Having...
