    Training cue ball, question

    The Rempe ball seems to be the most recommended, which is why I bought it some time ago. The only reason to buy it was so I could see if I was striking the CB where I was aiming, but mine doesn't hold chalk for some reason. occasionally it leaves a ghost mark but barely viewable. Maybe mine is...

    How to pronounce Schön

    Maybe they just added the umlaut because it looks cool. :-) Sent from my SGH-T959V using Tapatalk 2

    How to pronounce Schön

    I'm not German but i'm pretty sure its not pronounced "shown". I was taught the umlaut sound is like shaping the inside of your mouth to pronounce an "O"" but close your lips around it as if pronouncing an "ooo" sound. it sounds closer to an "uh" sound. At least that's what my voice professors...

    The Sounds of Silence ... or Not?

    I only play and practice at home, and in silence. When my brother comes over to play he likes to play music. It totally screws up my game. I hate it. I know that if I start going to pool halls this is something i'm going to have to learn how to do, but I still hate it. Sent from my SGH-T959V...

    How do I use my j/b cue?

    I know this is gonna sound dumb but here it goes... I just got my first j/b cue today (j&j) and I'm not sure how to use it as a jump cue. Do I just remove the butt of the cue and shoot like that? Or am I supposed to remove the middle section and attach the shaft to the butt despite it being...

    Whats the strangest thing you played for?

    My cousin is married to this guy who played quite a bit in his younger yrs, when they were recently married, but they lived in Mexico. I remember her telling me how he would always get home with random things almost every day. Things like boots, hats, shirts, belts, and occasionally jewelry. I...

    Mobile App to diagram pool shots

    Apple already has one. Although u can't take a picture and automatically diagram it the way u suggest. U can however diagram and take a snapshot and save the layout. Sent from my BlackBerry 9780 using Tapatalk

    careless chalk

    If he is better than you, and you are learning from him, just suck it up. Be grateful he takes time to play with you. At least that's what I would do. Sent from my BlackBerry 9780 using Tapatalk

    Opinion on Breaking Cues

    How would you all compare the J&J to the Players S-PJB6? Which would you recommend? (Apologies to the OP. I didn't mean to highjack the thread, but maybe this info will benefit you as well :) )

    Opinion on Breaking Cues

    Thanks, that's the site I was talking about. It just seemed odd to me that you can't even purchase online. You have to have them call you back or you call them to give them your credit card number. Also, I remember looking at that site about 2 years back and it looked exactly the same so I...

    Opinion on Breaking Cues

    Where would one buy a j&j? I've been looking for one but the only place I found it was on ebay but its shipped from taiwan and the shipping is too expensive. I also found a website trough google but doesn't look trustworthy. Anyone know where to get these? Sent from my BlackBerry 9780 using...

    Pechauer

    I'm beginner so my knowledge about equipment is nonexistant, but I'll still share my thoughts :) I bought a pechauer based on a lot of thread searching and advice on this forum according to my budget. I love my cue. I later added a 314-2 shaft and love it even more. However, the only thing...

    Is this a sign of my poor break or poor racking skills...

    Therez definitely some small gaps here and there, but I was under the impression those were unavoidable unless you're using the magic rack?? I always strive to have the first ball frozen to the 2 behind it. Except I have to put it slightly in front or behind the spot. Does the quality of the...
