    a question for serious...or shall i say higher level players

    I couldn't have said it better. after a certain level of playing ability, our minds know what to do to make a shot and make shape on the next ball, but it is the focus needed to accomplish it......I can go in and play a mid level player and just knock 'em around without too much concentration...

    OB Classic Plus Ferrule

    I purchased my classic + about 6 months ago and had not ever really inspected the ferrule....having to use a magnifying glass, I see the linen effect and also what appears to be some hairline cracks, not the length of the ferrule but maybe 1/4......here and there if you know what I mean? I...

    pool glove

    just used my Molinari glove for the 1st time yesterday. In the past I have tried the "sir", predator and longoni gloves. the first 2 gloves proved to be inferior quality and the longoni, along with being very pricey, also has a leather pad on the palm. while you might think this is a good thing...

    OB and Predator

    I am on my 3rd 314-2 shaft, that is because the first 2 were under warranty, then I got a ob+ classic, in comparison, the 314-2 shaft never leaves my case now......that is all I have to say about that. :rolleyes:

    yesterday's match 120-119!!!

    we have a local handicapped league and are about half way thru the session. I had a match yesterday and what a match! I won the lag and the opponent broke and 2 balls did not hit the rail resulting in a 2 point foul. (what a difference a foul makes) no high runs due to the rack was not opening...

    Which chalk do you guys use?

    for practice I use "blue diamond" but for play I use "great white".....the word in our pool hall is spreading on how good the great white chalk is from outsville (renfro)...it is round in shape but can be ordered with a magnet which helps. it is at least as good as kamui if not better and at a...

    pool glove

    I have used predator gloves for a couple of years and thought the quality dropped (stitching coming loose after 2 weeks!). I switched to a longoni glove and while it's quality is superior to the predator it is very pricey ($25). I am interested if anyone here has tried the Molinari glove being...

    Practice your long shots

    thanks for you post as I started back into 14.1 a few weeks ago and realized that the weakest part of my game was the very subject of your post. 2 weeks ago I started setting up a break ball and shooting only from the jaws of the pocket in the kitchen and after a few days of that I became...
