Hey Dr 9 Ball, I recall George Rood telling me that he owned the place where the 526 Run happened & it was on an 8 foot Table. Can you verify that..?

I played with lots of cues in my day & I liked my Pechauer. It is a good Tool. But, I now have a Guido Orlandi Conical Joint Cue . IMHO it is superior to everything out there. But.... it has a SUPER Joint, a LD Shaft & Cork Grip. It's a precision Instrument, not just a jointed Stick.

Thanks Dr Dave. I've been throwing balls since I was 14, that is 62 years ago. The instructional video I bought some years ago, by Robert Byrne had this particular science demonstrated & I was amazed, so I learned it, even after playing Pool for 50 years. You never quit learning. Before the...

I was re-reading some of this thread & remembered Robert Byrne showing how to throw ball around a ball... man , that is magic. I gotta dig that Video out & re-watch it.

Wow, what a change. We were at Buffalo's about 4 years ago...this place is Beautiful.

We just had our Snooker Table (for golf) recovered with 860 Simonis. It is slow, slow, slow. I don't know what the old cloth was, but someone said it was Gorina. Anybody got an idea of what's better than Simonis 860 for speed.

When I start missing balls, that I normally make without much ado, I realize my mental picture has gone bad. So, I start looking at the Shot Line, then doing a slight side step to the left & BINGO, I'm on again. Wearing glasses can cause anybody problems... because of the refraction, the glasses...

Here is a layout from the book titled, "The GREAT Break Shot". It is a 180 page book on the Break Shot, in all the games we play. This particular shot will leave the 1 ball close to the corner pocket. If you have parked Whitey in the middle of the table, & you don't get hooked, you will have a shot.

So Ralf learned his game with 10 years of 8 hour practice & NOW HE MAINTAINS HIS GAME AS NEEDED WITH WARMUPS...Great Idea.... But there are only a 100 players world wide, that can do that. That means there are millions that could play better, with a practice regimen. My point exactly.& we all...

Let me say a few things about this statement. We go into lots of Pool Rooms & the one thing we never see is anyone practicing. This has to be a phenomenon, because practice is the only way to get better at the game. Yes, a small percentage of people have Pool Tables in there homes, but even...

I have one of those shafts myself, but I don't a have a butt (McDermott, I think) to try it on. I've kept it all these years, now I think I will try it out.

Hi Landon, nice to hear that you are doing well. Doesn't seem like 10 or 12 years have gone by since we originally met. I see your Dad on line once in a while. There will always be a place in Pool for someone like you. here's hoping that you continue to do well & if you ever have the notion...

Congrats on the win. hope you & Dad are doing well...

Very Good suggestion....

That is precisely the reason we made that sketch. I play with a 58 inch cue that has a 4 inch extension, made by Guido Orlandi. You might get someone to assist you in setting up your address, to develop your prescribed Cue Stick Length & see what you come up with. I never believed that Cues...

My Cue Maker friend & I made up a sketch on making cues to fit each of us' frame. This sketch is just a suggestion, using past experiences

Actually, I thought it was a good response. A video would clearly show what is happening in your stroke. The fact that many will give you their unqualified opinion is the humor in the endeavor. My Partner & I have been giving Video Analysis lessons for the last 7 years at the big tournaments...

You could stick a video on YouTube & all the Armchair Instructors will help you out... They can't wait, so get'r done....

the break shot Efren is shown using a BreakRAK on YouTube.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm6EyYDEGvo Finding a used BreakRAK is tough, that's because players like it & learn from it. I've made thousands, but you can't hardly find one. Rodney Morris said players won't even talk about the...

It seems that the Breaker is favored by a slight margin, but if you look closer, you'll see that not many have a Strong Break, that's similar to Van Boening's, That's because players don't practice the Break Shot.
