That's kind of an old one, but a good one still. I've watched it several times. Watching player review tapes from a world class player is a great way to improve your pool playing skills.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. :rolleyes: I was just being facetious, not stupid. It's ironic that the people who own bar with pool tables in it don't know how to spell it. Your trick shots are very impressive. If there's anyone who knows how to spell it, it's you. I'll defer to...

I'd like to see these 5 players in no particular order. 1. Reyes 2. Frost 3. SVB 4. Daulton 5. Pagulayan The other spot would be a toss up among several players. I don't keep up with one pocket enough to know who the other top players are, but I do have an accu-stats one pocket video with...

I was playing my 9-ball league match at this bar last night, and they had a strange rule that I've never seen. I could tell they very serious about this rule because they had it posted in 2 different locations right near the pool table. See the attachments below. The bar has a strict 'no...

I learned to kick from watching Efren play for many years, and my kicking game is one of my biggest strengths.

Your average skill level 3 player doesn't know what a safety is let alone recognize one while keeping the score. That's the reason why the system is so flawed. Too many stats to misrepresent either intentionally or accidentally.

A fundamental with the APA's handicap system is that safeties almost never get properly marked on the score sheets. Safeties essentially cancel out innings, therefore you get too many innings for most matches which implies that the players play weaker than they actually do play. So even when...

Put that on your azbilliards user title. :cool:

I agree with you, Zach. I played APA for 10 years and have been playing NAPA for about 1 year now. NAPA's way better than APA. 'Score sheet pool' is exactly what APA is. Cheating is commonplace. I know I'd rather play in a league where a local league operator can manually override skill...

I laughed my ass off. :rolleyes: It's horrible advice obviously but not amusing.

This is not consistent with reality. Lots of players still shoot jump cues and jump shots aren't going away. You clearly don't like jump shots or jump cues, so you likely just jumped to the conclusion (no pun intended) that less jump shots are being played based on a very small sample of...

I find that if I hit the cue ball a little below center (no sidespin) and use a really good follow through, this helps me a lot to squat the cue ball around the middle of the table. A good follow through seems to make the biggest difference for me. Go to youtube. Watch the pros and study the...

Wow! Chang breaks and runs like a machine! :thumbup:

That's very impressive. How many tries did it take you to execute that shot?

720 is correct. If the 1, 2, 3, and 10 are in the same position every time, and the other 6 balls are in random order, then here's the math. 6! (six factorial) = 6 X 5 X 4 X 3 X 2 X 1 = 720 I see that I'm repeating what someone else already said after I finished typing this, but here it is...

I have both. They're both good quality racks. The Magic rack is much better for 8-ball and rotational pool (9-ball and 10-ball). You get get very consistent tight racks and straight racks (not tilted) with the magic racks. The delta 13 is the best triangle rack I've ever used, but it falls...

If it's your inning at the table, you can talk to yourself all you want. I do it too sometimes. There's noting rude/unsportmanlike about that. If someone doesn't else doesn't like it, screw them. You're not doing anything wrong. A lot of really good players are very vocal when they play.

Usually, the only people who consider safety play to be 'dirty pool' and get mad when you play safe on them are idiots who can't run 3 balls. They're bad players, so they don't understand the concept of safety play. The 8-ball league I play is full of these fools, and my team just took 1st...
