    The fragility of "good pool playing"

    Played in two tournaments in the past two weeks... second place in both, 8ball, first didn't lose a game until the championship, second lost two on the way... Both times it wasn't the miss's that bothered me it was the nervous anxiety... Both players who finished first played extremely slow and...

    What Table Size is your personal preference to play upon

    One Pocket Rules Question

    A discussion ensued after the following happened... My opponent had a ball jawed in his pocket, I shot it in, did not scratch and told him to spot the ball, as he owed one from a previous foul. He said he did not owe this ball until after his inning was over, which by the way favored him from...

    Is pool or golf tougher??

    I play both, average at best... Both at scratch golf or pool require the same concentration skills and both for a run of a cluster of balls or the proper angle to attack a pin require the ability to picture the shots in your "minds eye" then execute... Personally "golf" is harder to maintain...

    Teach a boy to shoot pool

    I don't know if this is good or bad. My son is 7 and wants to play each time I practice. He holds the cue with both hands on the end, rests the shaft on the table and sights and shoots. I give him ball in hand on every shot, playing 8ball or 9ball, I play banks only. He can run 4 to 5 balls...

    Entertaining the troops in Iraq & Afghanistan

    Thanks, I sent an email to big army, debbie.ewald@fmwrc.army.mil for her assistance with this. Should get the answer and help starting the ball rolling in a couple of days. As far as a fast helicopter ride? You need to ask Little Bubba what the WGCP stands for... You might change your mind...

    Entertaining the troops in Iraq & Afghanistan

    :cool: I am at Arifjan with Little Bubba... I will go to the MWR Director here and ask what is required to accomplish this task... However, it will take fellow AZ's to help line up someone who is willing to make the trip. The plane ride over and back is not something casual to do. It is long...

    Fits with Predator Air-Jump

    Hate to say this, but showing him the change in elevation just means he beat me like a drum again...

    If you could play anyone, who would it be?

    Mosconi in 14.1 Eddie Taylor and "Bugs Rucker" in banks Wanderone (Fats) in nine ball... Realization is that all I would do is rack the balls, but if I could only get it on film, the things we all could learn... ;)

    When you miss a shot, is it usually because...

    I miss most often from lack of concentration on the object ball. However some one pocket shots require pretty intense concentration on where and how the cue is stroked. So I miss them also... Guess I just miss lots of shots, just ask Little Bubba...:D

    Beeswax or bondo?

    When I recovered my table I filled all the holes and joints with beeswax. Yet as I read the posts on this, most of you have used bondo, or a similar compound. Was this a mistake?:confused:

    What model Olhausen is this?

    good table I got one of these in Houston for 2K, great table... Just make sure you have plenty of shims. Took me 4 hours to level it with help from "little bubba". Also make sure you take the time to ensure corner pockets are even prior to tightening the rails. I play one pocket and the right...
