I am well aware of that -- yet the fact remains, sometimes they're never the same. Lou Figueroa how poetic

Sometimes I wonder if even these super human players can adjust to new equipment. I believe the history of sports is littered with champions who changed sponsors and equipment and were never the same. Lou Figueroa

I don’t speak “Matrix” but I get it. Lou Figueroa I think

Saw Fort Knox when I watched “Goldfinger.” Lou Figueroa Pussy Galore probably doesn’t count

Didn't know you could buy those. Lou Figueroa

I think you're correct -- there are all kinds of rabbits out there. What I originally meant was: playing at the highest level you believe you are capable of given your experience and the amount of time you have to devote to the game. Earlier, in another thread, I asked about consistency and...

In this country it's "inquiring." Lou Figueroa you're welcome

Just because I post here doesn't mean I'm writing for everybody here -- if you don't get it just move along ;-) Lou Figueroa

The marks on your rail would seem to indicate you are the guy I ocassionally see on the Billiard Channel with the camera strapped to his forehead... Lou Figueroa

I think most of us here, amateur players, are chasing The Rabbit (cue the "Impossible Dream") looking to consistently play at whatever level we believe is just renumeration for our devotion to the game. We play, compete, practice... wash, rinse and repeat. We experience the occasional highs...

There's a fellow at the pool room that did this. I told him to shorten his grip and that has worked quite well. Lou Figueroa YMMV

So, a variety of answers to a widespread affliction. But no one has nailed down the cause and possible cure… yet. Lou Figueroa

The food situation is horrific. Lou Figueroa

Does your game ever fluctuate? I mean -- like for a while -- you are firing on all cylinders. No shot is missable. Any position play is doable. And then... you come back the next day, or maybe even mid-session the same day, become screamingly helpless? Lou Figueroa just wonderin'

Well, a "thumbs-up" would have indicated approval or agreement with your post, which isn't what I wanted to do. I guess in some cases it might even be construed as passive aggressive... Then on the other hand, a thumbs-down would indicated disapproval which also wouldn't have been accurate...

I am just going hoping to have a semi-decent experience -- it is not the same as it was and it is considerably less fun. Something overheard at the pool hall just the other day: " Yeah, I'm going to the Derby. Funny thing is that as soon as I get there I want to leave." On the flip side I...

Easy to say especially if you do not make yourself aware of the history of the game. Lou Figueroa see

IMO he shot that combo out of pure and simple hubris -- he was on a roll and the table, even one as soft as the one he was shooting on, brought him down to earth. He was tooling along and sometimes when that's happening you think you can just fire away and get away with a lot. With his goal...

No. It's because Mosconi walked into a different room every night, 300 times a year, for many years, and on his first approach to the table -- whatever it was -- would most often run 100. The night he set his record it was at the urging of the crowd -- he didn't care about high runs. I...

IF the chalk you are using gives you a bit more grab, particularly at slower stroke speeds, and the balance of your cue helps swing the cue, just so as you’re descending into shooting position, to get you lined up for a truer stroke… Lou Figueroa
