I describe it as a hammer curl with the torso bent over. In weightlifting, the elbow remains in a fixed position when doing curls.

I think that in order for there to be quality practice time spent, you have to go into the practice session with a question in mind. Going about trying to answer the question is quality time, even if you don't find the answer during that session. Finding out what isn't the answer is just as...

Thanks. No need to be worried about me.. I'm actually a pretty positive person. I guess it all comes down to the values you have. I never heard a curse word in my house growing up. Other people curse like it's just everyday talk to them. I guess I didn't expect to be cursed at like that in the...

It's not an attack. It's the truth. I never questioned his performance. I was stating my only experience with him was where he did not act like a gentleman.

Yes, and I do appreciate your wisdom. We're all human. After the match, he found out who I was through someone who intervened and had an opportunity to approach me and make it right, or at least discuss it. He refused. I hope he has since adjusted his attitude as he matured. None of this affects...

WADA has a list of drugs considered to be performance-enhancing. There really is a reason for drug testing that makes sense. Unfortunately, occasionally there are false positives that can happen or traces of something that don't really affect a players' performance that can hurt a player. But...

Too bad. Truth is truth.

He didn't know I was a board member at the time, so he wasn't breaking any rules. So to him, I was just some woman who was annoying him. He had options as to how he could have responded to me. I guess that's how he decided to act towards someone he considered to be a nobody.

I don't owe you anything. Look them up yourself. It's pretty obvious.

Nope. And while we're at it, why don't you take a hard look at the chronic drug and alcohol users who would be wimps on the battlefield without their 'enhancements,' who are in the Hall of Fame. Clean up the Hall of Fame.

Niels Feijen --- yes, he puts up a good front, doesn't he? At the 8 ball WC in Fujairah, UAE, when I was on the WPA board, I was sitting in the stands watching the finals (which Ralf Souquet won). Feijen was sitting nearby in the stands and talking and laughing with guys on either side. He had...

This makes perfect sense because of the strong difference in colors. You can see the layout much clearer.

That looks similar to what Danny Barouty did with his arm bent in a cast, only he cut the cue up to about where his hand was. But as we know, that position doesn't work for the rest of us when we use the bridge for the reason it was intended --- when you can't reach a shot.

Well, as you may know, skilled players tend to carry their own mechanical bridges with them that suit their playing styles that also gives them more height options and maneuver options than the typical ones you see in pool rooms. If you do some research you will find that they have become quite...

How do you know you're getting more deflection and not just being inaccurate? I'm assuming you mean cb deflection or squirt. But regardless of accurate or inaccurate aiming, many players make the mistake of shooting down at the cb with a pretty steep angle of attack. If you need to hit below...

I think you're wrong about that. As far as I can tell, the WPA will continue on with whatever players they have and will continue to sanction events. The sanctioning process isn't just about getting a sanction fee. It's also about assuring that the player selection process is fair to all...

Who are you? What's your name? What country are you from and what's your relationship with Matchroom? So you're saying that running even just a few events in the past without letting everyone know that these players in the events were being managed by them is okay? Were they trying to give the...

Suspending players is necessary. For example: There are athletes in all sports, including pool who switch continents in order to be chosen to play because they aren't ranked high enough in their own federation to get in through the allotted quota, so they will try to get in through a different...

I believe you. I think that when we talk about why people miss, we should eliminate considering the ones who don't care and don't even bother to try. As an instructor, I walk away from those who want me to make them better without them doing any of the work. They're not players and don't count...

Why do you think that is, given that there is so much information that's easily accessible?
