I am not an instructor but I do know that if my balance is off (some anitbiotics can cause this) my game is off. This medically induced slump perhaps caused your mental attitude to be somewhat negative. Also, is the pretty girl a new person in your life? Could be a factor in where your...

It is, indeed, a crowd pleaser but I have seen many fantastic kick shots that pocketed the OB and it pleased me just as much as a jump shot. For the record, I voted "NO" on the banning issue for the same reasons as noted above by others. Nell Drake

You are exactly right on, Fran. It also helps to be cardiovascularly ( is there such a word?) fit although I cannot ever remember becoming out of breath while shooting pool...lol. Nell Drake

OK, I'll bite. What the hell is a paleolithic diet?

JAMSGOLF, tell your mother I said "You go, girl!!!" Nell Drake

Thanks, JoeyA. Maybe there is some hope for an old lady who didn't even learn to shoot pool untiil age 60...12 years ago...do the math...lol Nell Drake

funny picture. I saw the stream of the match between Jjohnny and Earl where Johnny came out in headphones, etc. It was hilarious. Thanks for sharing the picture. Nell Drake

What do you do when you are having an off night and you have to play a match? Every now and again I have a night where I cannot do anything right. I miss ball in hand, scratch, hook myself, get way out of line etc. Do you just write it off as a bad night or do you go to the bathroom and wash...

Thanks, gtj. i appreciate the tips and will take copious notes and I will definitely visit the website you sent but not tonight. Just got in from shooting pool if you can call it that...lost my match...YUCK. I hate losing (I guess everyone does...lol). Nell

Is there an echo in here? LOL

What do you mean by "kicking the right way"? I didn't know there was a wrong way except one that doesn't make contact with the OB. Could you give a little more explanation for a pool dummy?

Can't drink right now so I am pretty sure it wasn't a hangover. Will be glad when I can do so again...lol

Has Texas seceded from the Union again?

It occurred to me this morning while drinking coffee and meditating on my pool game that there are four ingredients in pool and I think I may have the order of importance correct: Fundamentals Focus Feel Fun Does this sound plausible or was I in an early morning fog? It...

Scott: I am sorry to say this but I am reputed to be very hard-headed and it takes a lot for me to change (a symptom of age, I understand) but I have always been this way. I don't do it on purpose but my bad habits seem to be ingrained (i.e. chipped in stone). No matter how hard I try to...

Thanks to everyone for your enlightening responses. You guys have forgotten more than I will ever know about this wonderful game. Scott, I really liked your description of the finesse stroking and will try to incorporate this into my game. I work on my stroke constantly and am gaining ground...

I totally agree about the dark caves here and the corresponding image it presents. Goes hand in hand with the sexy avatars. :-)

Bob, I am not quite sure myself but I think it does refer to a sort of soft poke to move an OB to a specific place while controling CB position. I guess I am trying to justify my poking...lol Nell
