    WPA Bans 245 Players

    If you think that more than 30% of China's population is above the poverty level for the US and most western countries, then well I'll leave it at that. Here's some info really quick. According to recent data, China has effectively eradicated extreme poverty, meaning the percentage of the...

    WPA Bans 245 Players

    Yeah, but about 80-90% of that 60% are living below the poverty level for western nations. Yes, but again there is more disposable income available in western nations which is what sponsors want. Out of what, 12-15 high level tournaments? Yeah, but they're 60% of the population, so they don't...

    We used to call the payphone next to us collect and then accept the charges... and yes in some locations it DID work. When they had the pay phone's number listed on the phone. Jaden

    I fell for the Carbon Fiber Hype

    Yep and all of them will be high deflection without cutting off or rather drilling out some of the first 5 inches of the front of the shaft. At least I think that it's the end mass there causing the higher deflection. I'll eventually drill it out some myself and test it. I'm not sure if it's...

    Today Laugh... Found on Amazon "The Eight Ball Bible Paperback" – Illustrated, July 17, 2012 by R Givens

    I was wondering why you posted it as a today laugh because I had only read the description and saw the 29.95, thought I must be missing something. Then I went back and saw the 4995.00... lol. Yeah, someone needs to lay off the crack. Jaden

    I fell for the Carbon Fiber Hype

    Then I question your measuring method. Did you find each shafts pivot point and compare them? Yes, it's the front end that makes the difference, but unless they're cutting out CF out of the front of the blanks, they aren't making them very LD. I know because I've used several different of the...

    I fell for the Carbon Fiber Hype

    Most of the CF shafts are super high deflection. Only a few have been shown to be LD. Revo, Cuetec, and one or two others. The rest are typically based on the same blanks that are virtually impossible to make LD. Ask me how I know... Jaden

    How to practice?

    Yeah, but I didn't and wouldn't recommend that for someone to start off with because there's too much information out there and it's too easy to get into things out of order and learn concepts that you shouldn't be focusing on to start off with. Books or learning series videos will give you...

    How to practice?

    Practice without knowledge is about the equivalent of mental masturbation. You have to gain knowledge and there's SO much knowledge to gain. If you don't have access to good instruction, get some books and actually do and practice what they say. Byrne's books are good. Study the game, video tape...

    Guys who never sell cues

    Couldn't and Don't are TWO VERY different things. Someone (not naming any names here) May be excellent at selling cues, but just doesn't like to because they like the cues they buy or trade for or win. Jaden

    The Reyes Cup

    There are a ton of expats from many western countries in Asia, especially, vietnam, singapore and malaysia. So not surprising at all. Jaden

    The Reyes Cup

    Yeah, they do it on EVERY SINGLE BREAK shot. I'm watching to see if there's going to be an open shot on the lowest ball and.....blammo....cut away... Dammit... Jaden

    Hitting cut shots with draw - why do I keep missing?

    As many have said, we would need to see your stroke to really say, it could be a number of things. That being said, most draw miscues and misses are due to a deceleration or lack of acceleration on the stroke. Try aiming at a point in the middle of the CB rather than just aiming at striking the...

    Which Variable Is the Cause of Most Missed Shots

    Yeah, that's been what I've noticed for me as well. I stopped playing when I was going through a divorce but then we were able to reconcile. I'm working on getting to a better place in life so that I can focus properly on the table. Getting back in shape will be one of my steps. I played my...

    Which Variable Is the Cause of Most Missed Shots

    Yeah, I was going to leave that it wasn't gambling unsaid. I don't mind playing for money, some people will only play for money. I don't like stealing though. I rarely play for money against players below me unless it's to make a point. It's not about getting money for me. Another thing is that...

    Which Variable Is the Cause of Most Missed Shots

    Not in retirement. As I said, I prefer to just play play. I'll gamble when I have to in order to play the games I want. I have played Scott a couple of times here in Phoenix(tenball and one hole) and if you'd like to play sometime, just say so. I'd probably be willing to. ;) When I DO gamble, I...

    Which Variable Is the Cause of Most Missed Shots

    Let me clarify my stance on this because it may not be clear. To understand the game at a higher level you have to know how to impart spin and understand what it does. To play at the highest levels, you do have to be confident that you can consistently use side spin. You also have to, more...
