This video does a pretty good job explaining one way to do it:

Kick and sticks are really fun shots to practice. Once you know how to execute them they can be used for all kinds of deviousness and position shots. I'd recommend everyone try them in a progressive practice style drill. It's one practice shot I never get bored with, they just feel so good when...

That or kids that don't know any better. I'm really surprised my friends/cousins and I never did rip the cloth doing this when younger. We just didn't know any better, we honestly thought that was a jump shot. 😂 We did have fun jumping over hotwheel cars like we were Evel Knievel. :LOL:

As long as I'm in the right mood I don't mind a slower 1P match. I have to be in the mind state of learning and analyzing. Sometimes the extra time lets you think of what your move would be. You can kind of do the same thing on any pre recorded match. Pause it and think of all the shot options...

I really enjoy watching Keith's matches. They are a breath of fresh air to see someone with more natural/personal/unique mechanics in this era of robotic clones. He is proof you can play to an extremely high level and not follow the "proper" playing form. I don't mean this as any kind of...

Cool! Nice to hear about it. It's a really different design. At first I thought the design was dumb, but honestly I'm starting to like it. It's definitely thinking out of the box but it seems like it would work well.

That would be expected for cues that old and not stored with museum quality climate control. It's natural materials (even the glue) and time has a way with stuff. Wood dries, shrinks and expands. I have a rocking chair I picked up for $15 that needs the legs re-glued that has similar inlays in...

Even if they were knock offs, the skill it would take to do so would still make them desirable. I'm no expert of even a novice at that type of cue but my gut feeling is they are probably legit. Even if they were a copied design or something it's just not something anyone can do. It took real...

One of my worse ones happened in a race to 5. He was/is a good player. He would handily beat me most days. I'm up 4-0, and one single solitary thought went through my mind, "I should have this one, all I have to do is play smart." The final score was him, 5-4. At least it taught me something...

Many can if they are building you a cue. Diveney's old stuff circa 2012 used to be some type of surgical or radial... but I think anything within the last decade has been a modified 3/8-10. A Diveney shaft will fit on a McDermott and a McDermott shaft will fit on a Diveney. I'm not really...

It's probably good we don't live near each other, I have a feeling we would be good buddies but the next morning might end up being rough! :D Probably about 3 shots of whiskey. Of course your coordination may suffer. You kind of want to get to that point where you wish a fella would. It's not...

Good perspective. I could see that. I suppose it also signals to other players that you are open to action. Or, hey that guy from the county over said he is looking for action because (insert typical woofing). Thanks for the new perspective! :)

👇 Yep.

Calcutta is a waste of time. It's for degenerate gamblers. I'd rather go to a tournament with or even without an added $500. I don't give a rats ass about Calcutta. Last one I went into the pool and finished 4th. A local guy I know bought the "pool" and several other local greats. I was the only...

With all due respect to Pia, who gives a F###. :rolleyes:

I'm not sure but they do hit a ton. Really good shafts IMO.

Diveney makes light and dark kielwood shafts.

I agree. It's not for everyone but CTE can work well if you study and practice it. You have to approach a businesses to sell a product on their site. You will have to sell them to the site cheaper so they can sell them at a profit. I have no idea why Geno didn't choose to do so, or if there...

This isn't meant to disparage, but is it possible you just didn't get it? :unsure: I would hope a DVD could explain the system so everyone understood but it's vastly different than being taught by the instructor. With a live instructor you can ask questions to better understand the material. I...
