Hey I just had Lasek ...

I hear ya... geez, you're still a puppy too. I'm 64, straight pool was THE only game I ever cared to play, but its becoming more of a frustration now. The things that I know are affecting my game are... Focus Eyesight Stamina Desire Most likely all interrelated. The good news... I do...

Of course with no one actually seeing your stance, stroke, delivery, its pretty impossible to firstly assume this issue you feel is affecting your game is really doing so, and secondly, trying to suggest a specific cure to it, which may or may not even address any problem. There are many world...

Just a thought here, but why not let a cue maker put a simple joint in it.

I just explained that. Most likely the pros compensated, or the cotton cleaned the balls better. More logical than static.

And there you have it... having no desire to listen to anyone confirming the unexplained is not discounting facts. Thank you.

Please show me where I said that! I said I don't care to hear confirmation of static. There have never been any facts regarding that, just ridiculous speculation. BTW, I wasn't trying to keep you. :D

What? I said .. hitting an OB with a CB that has been drawn picks up overspin ... not the CB. Sorry if I didn't make that clear.

I think I just spent 10 minutes giving you an explanation. what I just wrote was an EXPLANATION ... the two words "static" and "electricity" don't explain a damned thing, they are merely two words. Ya know ... players that know what they're doing realize the balls are skidding and they...

Well I read this in another thread and I just couldn't help posting a new thread so I can say what I'm compelled to say without it getting lost in a very long thread. THAT'S RIDICULOUS Before I tell you what ... I'll tell you, forget scientists .. I don't even care if Jesus Christ himself...

I understand what you're saying. There are fine lines in each style of stroke. The elegant stroke can easily suffer from decelerating through the CB, while what you call the punch stroke isn't really a punch the way the kid was shooting, rather an acceleration through the CB with follow...

Are you kidding? Everybody wants to know how to Jump start pool in the USA, here is your pool messiah. Some strong sponsorship, maybe like reebok, skittles, ... who knows, just a sprinkle of marketing, and boom... the Justin Beiber of pocket billiards. Kids will be wearing his face on their...

Yeah, by your explanation that isn't what a slip stroke is. On long straight shots I'll let go with my grip hand very lightly on my last forward stroke through the CB so the cue is merely being cradled in the first joint of my fingers with nothing else touching it. For me, this is the single...

Who the hell knows....... all I know is I don't go to sears to get my car fixed, I go there to buy underwear. I thought you go to a bar to pay 5 times what a drink is worth and to get loud and stupid, not to play pool. So then wait.... waddia go to a pool hall for? I'm confused.

Pool hasn't changed .... Our society has changed. From being able to walk down the street after dark, to saying hello to neighbors, to stopping in the isle of a supermarket and making small talk to strangers, to walking to the corner soda fountain, to helping someone in need without fear of...

My father used to always tell me .... As you grow up you will realize that there are many more "horses asses" than there are horses.

LOL ... ya but I've been using the same roll since I was 12 and I'm 65 now! In another year I think it will loose it's stick and then I'll return it for a new one. :grin:

While I'd rather have bamboo shoots stuck under my fingernails than play 9 ball ... I agree with you. Everybody must think I'm kidding .... the solution is to hang one of these over the table, and fill it with balls. Three spins and let em fall on the table. :thumbup:

That seems very reasonable, and it looks nice. I may pick one up. Thanks for the heads up. I mark my old wooden rack for front and up ... and ... determine where it needs tweaking to tighten up the balls and I put a small strip of painters tape inside it at that point. I'm a cheapo. :thumbup:

To me a bargain sounds like a two dollar and fifty cent triangle that I put on myself. But hey, I use old newspapers for shoes too. :thumbup:
