    Golf vs pool

    Well........Some of those Mulligan guys would lose a chunk o change (if you get my drift) For those guys....we would kind of tend to look the other way.....We did have a "Cheaters Club".....If you were caught cheating and put in the club..... you pretty much killed any action from pretty much...

    10 ball and i am calling.....safe

    I assume this is right after the break.....If so...I am calling push.....Ideally leaving the CB stuck to the end rail...and using the 8 to pocket the 1 and hopefully wedge up against the 3 off angle so the combo does not go...extra insurance against a fluke made jump shot with a view of the...

    Golf vs pool

    Ummmmmmmm.....(I must refer you to click on the UAS link below)...... Lets see....... The all time classic "foot wedge" The also classic (never a lost ball) because you have one in your pocket and even though you snap hooked it 150 yards out of bounds over a house....you miraculously found it...

    Handle Hand Wrist Angle?

    Golf grip is with a neutral hand and gripped in the last three fingers....first finger and thumb are just along for the ride....In addition....If you grip with your first finger and thumb...it makes your wrist stiff...You have to relax your first finger and thumb to move your wrist...

    Looking for simple way to take decent video of myself.

    If you are setting up at a pool room....camera phone on a tripod is about as simple as it gets.... If you are like me and have a home table...My laptop doubles as a desktop and is connected to a larger monitor and I use a wireless keyboard and mouse.....I have the laptop sitting on a shelf...

    Which ball was hit first?

    He may have spun it ....(but he did say just a bit and ever so slightly)....I watched the frame by frame just before the "WHOOO!".......using the dots.....the ball looked (to me) to be in full roll just before contact.

    Taom Chalk

    Based on all the "clean" comments....I am thinking of trying this chalk......So....other than color.....what is different between the V10 and Pyro? Not a fan of green and have blue cloth and most of the places I play have blue cloth..... Is there a significant advantage of green v10 over...

    Which ball was hit first?

    If it had hit the 3 first.....would it have picked up opposite rotation and followed a more tangent path off the 5?....in this case it appears to have hit the 5 first...picked up some slight left hand rotation and then hitting the 3 it killed it forward off the 3 tangent path

    What a tool!!!

    It is pretty much not.....but I have not heard of her being in much "action" To me....it is starting to feel like the "Ball" brothers in the NBA......Dad was a real Don King type....

    What a tool!!!

    The ole "what I would have done"......I would have sat quietly while she finished the rack....between racks I would have said...."Hey...just an FYI....make sure you call pocket on combos....some joker may call that on you that you did not call the ball"....and left it at that..... Hoang didn't...

    Cell phone junkies

    These days for local events....the score is no longer a coin under the rail.....now the score is kept on your phone and updates the bracket real time........so you are kind of forced to have your phone with you during a match. I get the jist of the OP though........I update the score and turn...

    Happy Ending!

    I asked AI to explain the Birds and Bees in 2024......This is what I got. The whole 'birds and bees' thing has become more difficult nowadays You gotta explain all about the birds and the bees, the birds and the birds, the bees and the bees, the birds that used to be bees that still like birds...

    Contact Point and Visual Distortion

    Exactly what I was getting at in post #32 with the ESM formula. For me it is a must to play that way as my eyes just don't work that good.....when someone comes up with a good brail aiming for pool system....I will be all over it.

    Increasing stroke speed?

    I have not seen this mentioned .....so here are my "observations" and input that you can try and see if it helps.....As far as "technique" goes I am self taught through reading, observation and trial and error.....I also drag everything I know from Golf into the pool world.....So take this with...

    Contact Point and Visual Distortion

    I am just not sure about that.....If that is what it takes to be a top player.....I have no chance....zip zero nada.............I made a ball with 32 contrast lines to help make it easier to prove you right....(which obviously actual balls don't have)....I don't know about anyone else....my eye...

    Some evidence of what I have long suspected about Fargorating

    I don't know who this is......but I probably most likely know you......My comment was obviously an exaggeration.....but there are only a couple three guys in AZ I am going to take against Shane on his worst day.

    Contact Point and Visual Distortion

    I kind of doubt it is necessary to have 32 fractional points on a OB to pocket all the shots.....I also doubt there is anyone that precise in stroke accuracy..... No matter what tool you use to get aligned....ultimately there is going to be a need for some feel (aka confidence) for making a...

    PUSH OR PULL

    Hmmmm....interesting.........In Golf this is a shark move.......If a guy/girl is putting well...making everything they look at and you want to try and get into their head............. "Man you putt GREAT!!!....You make everything you look at.........I am just curious....Let me ask....Do you...

    Your "first five" pointers...

    Personally....I would throw them all out for a complete novice....I would start them off with the foundation of success. Grip Stance Posture Alignment Literally everything else they do in the game of pool will be based on those 4 things.

    Some evidence of what I have long suspected about Fargorating

    In any sport....you have your top speed...low speed and your average speed.....you rarely play at your top speed...you rarely play at your low speed...the majority of people perform mostly somewhere from a little below to a little above. As you get better your low speed will go up....until then...
