    For the Taom Chalk Users

    It is not just the rolling away issue....It is actually kind of a pain in the ass to hold on and chalk with the small round chalk.....The older I get the less dexterity my fingers seem to have.....They are not near as "nimble" as they were in my younger years......I don't even like the small...

    8 or 9ft table for this game room?

    I never play on 8' tables....so it would either be a 9' and deal with the limited space.....or 7' Diamond with pockets a bit on the tighter side.

    What it takes to be an expert

    What I get from that video is that my game closely resembles that of a roulette wheel.....or as Forrest Gump would say...."A box of chocolates".......You never know what you are going to get.

    Review: Chalk Holders Crical brand

    Not for nothing.....They all look good......I have not felt a need for the thing being stuck to my side ....and .I just can't stand the hard plastic feel....I like a comfort grip with a rubber like grip and finger indents;)

    OK lets start some trouble LOL (Diamond System)

    Different students.. different personality... different thought process....some people are book smart and street dumb...some can't pass a test but are very smart.... As an instructor...you need to adapt to the student ...some will learn from parallel lines..some will learn from numbers...as an...

    For the Taom Chalk Users

    I did not like the round chalk either....I just made my own comfort grip for it......put the cover on it and put it in my case or pocket when not using it.... The black does not photo well but it has indents and cut outs for the fingers and top....made of TPU (not hard plastic) so won't break...

    The Ladies of pool, where are they now?

    Not really a "where are they now"...but this looks to be from the early days of the internet and has quite a few pretty cool pics about the people being mentioned in this thread....plus a few other well known names from back in the day. Billie Billing

    Pattern Play

    I watched a video of Earl commentating on a match that he was playing in.....In most cases he remembered....but in more than a few cases he said could not remember what he did and gave multiple options.....Even when he remembered what he did he gave multiple options. Then of course there is...

    Have I come across the ultimate nit?

    Nothing new here......just typical shafts.....errrr....I mean ...... pool players for ya ......Those that blame lack of talent on the shaft (or rails, rolls, weather, time of day, amount of available drugs and/or alcohol.......etc.) ......and those that are more focused on the angles to give...

    Fast Improvement Training Method for Shot Making

    Even if there was a specific spot to aim for....It may IMO be a deterrent....I also think IMO...no matter what aiming system you are using there is a variable of subliminal adjustment....a GB center spot may not be visually what is best for someone..... I find that I want any GB aiming aid out...

    Improved ball marker

    It just needs a double decker mod on that back corner....that is the only problem I see with just a piece of chalk or any of them that mark on the cloth. I can't for the life of me remember where I saw someone made a DIY home build marker that was piece of leather (or something) that swiveled...

    Cue alignment???

    He could find out for himself pretty quick and report back on here...That may help make sure he is not dialing in wrong. make a circle with your first finger and thumb and look through it to a specific point with both eyes open.....without moving close one eye and see if that point remains in...

    Mark Wilson - CB or OB Last - Age Old Issue

    I don't turn my head....I just right at the pause lock in a visual on my target and then right before the stroke close my eyes...(but I try and keep the visual)....I will do it with straight in shots...but I also will throw balls out and try and run racks that way....You become very aware of...

    Earl looking CB last??????......I think not....(especially not the last one)

    Mark Wilson - CB or OB Last - Age Old Issue

    Golf Baseball and Tennis are compound motion swings.....Pool other than the arm nothing really should be moving.........(on the break shot the stroke becomes more compound so looking at the CB makes sense) For reference.....putting in Golf is about the closest comparison as neither "ball" is...

    Mark Wilson - CB or OB Last - Age Old Issue

    CB- OB....who needs to see either........If you want to calm your stroke down.....just play racks with your eyes closed.....Set up get perfectly aligned....right before you pull the trigger....close your eyes....
