The binomial distribution can be used to model all of the examples you've listed. With all of the posts on breaking Mosconi's 526 run, one interesting application would be the liklihood of a current top player beating the record. If we know the probability that John Schmidt will run a single...

Sold .....Thanks for the interest.

Still for sale

Yes, the cue rolls straight all together and individually.

I have an Elite 62" Cue that I used for around 6 months. I no longer need it, I have since went with a custom cue of the same length. New price is $140, I'll sell this like-new cue for $75 shipped. I can email pictures if anyone is interested, otherwise here is a link...

A big thanks for the responses..... Randy - I've checked the V in my grip both before and after the hit, it does not seem to be rolling the cue. I also placed a small piece of tape on the shaft of my cue - the tape stays in the same position throughout my stroke. Mark - This does not seem to...

I just got the Rempe cue ball, and I'm finding that I tend to hit the cue ball to the left of center. It doesn't seem to matter much where I hit on the vertical axis of the cue ball or the speed of the shot, every time the chalk mark is 1-3 mm left of center. This does not seem to be an issue...

Randy/Either Fargo or Marshall MN in August

For me 30 degrees is automatic. I have the image of the 30-60-90 triangle pretty much burned into my memory from math and science courses taken over the years.

Excellent, I hope to learn more about it at pool school this summer.

I've been watching the Mike Page Half Ball Hit videos on youtube (excellent material) and am wondering if it makes sense to use the half ball hit as a point of reference for aiming. In other words, look at the cut angle, if it is 30 deg....take the half ball shot, if slightly greater than 30...

Good idea, I am going to try this on my next practice session.

The drill, as I am doing it now, does add value and I will continue to do it. I am more or less looking to see if there is a drill with a similar concept developed by an instructor. It seems like the good instructors on here (yourself included) have a knack for developing drills that can...

I agree with everything you say, and I do incorporate many drills in my practice routine. More specifically, with this post I am looking for drills that involve setting up a variety of different shots and shooting each one multiple times to learn cue ball path, throw, cue ball speed, etc.

Roughly 1/3 of my time is spent playing the 6 ball ghost, and the other 1/3 is spent on various drills (Bob Jewett's progressive practice, L-Drill, Dr Dave drills, etc.)

nathandumoulin - I own these dvds and they are top notch. One part I enjoy the most is the 8, 9, and 10 ball runouts with commentary. Could you ever get Mika to do a full DVD with this type of material? You could even go into a little more depth with talking through how he analyzes the rack...

I will spend around a third of my practice time setting up a shot on my home table and repeating it over and over again. I'll change one thing at a time, like play shape on a second ball - shoot it 10 times.....then find another route to get on that second ball - shoot it 10 times.....move the...

I didn't put anyone on a pedestal, my comment was that intelligence likely plays a larger role in success for pool than for many other sports. Chess takes intelligence....agree? Pool, in my opinion, is the sport that most closely resembles chess. With pool you need to plan many steps ahead...

That's the thing.....How do I know that parallel english works for me? And how would I know if Back Hand English would work better? Occasionally I will miss a shot after applying english, but I can't always attribute the miss to the application of english. I am wondering if the general...

I think you are forgetting the topic of the thread. Mental discipline is not the same thing as intelligence. Do you fell you could break into the 70's if you were more intelligent?
