    Question about aiming

    Why wait 6 months? Great books, but they cannot answer questions, nor can they respond that you're doing something correctly or incorrectly. Get the instruction first (from a qualified instructor who uses video analysis), then utilize the books. Play Great Pool is a book that I recommend to...

    Bar Box monsters

    Mike...The best players played on whatever table had the money on it! The best players learn to adapt immediately to whatever playing conditions arise! The older players who grew up on 14.1 tend not to play much on 7' tables. 9ball players will play on whatever table has the biggest bet! LOL...

    I knew them when???????

    His real skill at wing shots was throwing 2 balls at once, and making them both in opposite corners. Even Dr Cue, who drills in wing shots, can't make the 2-in-1 wing shot without a bunch of tries. Fatty was friends with everybody by the time of the Johnston City tournaments. Jack White told...

    I knew them when???????

    Which is why I take exception to Jay's mentioning Don Willis as a "fat old guy". Old he may have been, but Don was fit all his life...no way he was fat. He was already short like Jay, but he was spry and could juggle five or six hustles at the same time in the same poolroom. Scott Lee 2019...

    I knew them when???????

    Tom...I was there in Burlington too. It was my first pro tournament, and Stroud had just delivered my first custom cue to me there! Everybody was there, old and young, road players, tournament players, and stone cold gamblers. Buddy Hall looked like toothpick...way tall and 150 lbs maybe...

    I knew them when???????

    Mike and I were good friends. One time I took up a collection to fly him from Albany to Va Beach for the US Open, because he had incurred some serious medical expenses, and just couldn't afford it. We got him there just so he could play in the CCB annual tournament at Q-Masters. Lotsa guys...

    Need professional instructor

    Almost always a huge difference between a pro player and a professional instructor. I'm pretty sure the OP knows that. Scott Lee 2019 PBIA Instructor of the Year Director, SPF National Pool School Tour

    Connecticut Pool Room

    Shooters in Southington is a popular room, with a good owner and has tournaments among the locals all the time. Several AzB posters play there regularly. Scott Lee 2019 PBIA Instructor of the Year Director, SPF National Pool School Tour

    Is the National Billiards League legit, or a scam?

    Bill, the only thing I want to say is that either you like league play, or you don't. If you like league play, either you like APA...or you don't. By the numbers it's obvious that the APA is popular enough to be self-sustaining, and a force in the amateur pool world. There are pool leagues...

    Is the National Billiards League legit, or a scam?

    As a former APA L.O. I would be happy to give you my opinion of why it is the largest (by 3x) and most successful amateur pool league in the world. First and foremost, it was never intended to be, and is still not a money league. While APA L.O.'s are allowed to have payback divisions (I did)...

    Best bank dvd to learn basic banks. John brumbacks?

    judochoke...You won't take this advice anyway, but I'll share it with you. Videos are okay, but they cannot answer a question, nor can they observe and critique how you set up and deliver the cue. Get a lesson from a qualified professional instructor, one who uses video analysis, and the...

    Is the National Billiards League legit, or a scam?

    Bill, you have no clue how the APA operates, as you've obviously never been involved with them...at least from an L.O. standpoint. The APA is a for-profit business. I don't know anyone that works for free. There's a reason why they are the largest amateur league BY FAR...and it's not because...
