    Anyone watched these videos?

    There is something nice about watching someone really enjoying something they are good at. Also, is it this woman who just won the Predator women's event? https://probilliardseries.com/kamui-world-womens-9-ball-championship/chou-shutouts-fisher-to-win-kamui-wpa-womens-world-9-ball-title/

    Is the 2023 Derby City Classic 9 Ball going to be viewed as a tainted win?

    Yeah, there is at least 20-25 world top 10 players there. :D

    Winning and Losing - Separating the process from the outcome

    I know a great player that tells himself “all I have to do is make this easy shot and I win!” And that works well for him. I tried it and it wasn’t the best for me. For me it’s probably bouncing between 2 & 3. I play best when I look at the shot, see the CB path and let my brain do the...

    Winning and Losing - Separating the process from the outcome

    I have done coaching and mindset more than technique. I don’t have time right now though at all. If you are still near Joliet we might be able to meet up and just chat about mindset though and hit some balls around.

    Winning and Losing - Separating the process from the outcome

    Bumping this old thread of mine. It recently helped me get back to the winner’s circle after a long break and frustrating comeback. I was practicing well but not playing well in tournaments at all. Hopefully it will help someone else.

    My very accurate 3-rail kicking system. No crazy math required.

    Stay with it. I think it has merit but I haven’t been to a table yet so I’ve refrained from commenting. I realized that you are talking about an add-on system to the spot on the wall system but it seems some folks might have missed that.

    Did I make a bad call as Tournament Director?

    Late 90s I played in a big tournament at McChesney’s in Denver. I was at the player meeting and it wasn’t mentioned. I hated to concede games. To the point a lot of people were pissed at me. Anyway, first match I’m playing one of the favorites. Race to 5. He breaks and is running out...

    Good observation. I noticed the banks but not the short position ones.

    Did I make a bad call as Tournament Director?

    Everybody has some blame in this situation. Bob for not paying attention to his game. Vic for raking the balls before getting an acknowledgement from his opponent. You for not making sure you completely understood what each player was trying to tell you before you made the call. It can be...

    Oscar vs. Schmidt 10 ahead one pocket, streaming

    A lot has changed in 15 years too. Some shots that I was told never, ever to take are now commonplace among the pros.

    Oscar vs. Schmidt 10 ahead one pocket, streaming

    Yeah. I enjoyed it until I fell asleep way too early! Nothing to do with the stream. Rehabbing a house so I’m tired at night.

    Oscar vs. Schmidt 10 ahead one pocket, streaming

    Sometimes I don’t like that they completely miss a great shot or something but overall I enjoy this stream. It feels like watching with friends.

    The guy with the gravelly voice and the hat was Jerry Mcwhorter the cue maker.

    Lil Joe Villalpando Makes Them Stars.....

    Ironman is another one that I miss from this thread. When we both lived in Denver we had some pretty good battles.

    Rubbing the cue against your chest while down aiming/stroking

    It's kind of funny I just was in a huge slump and one of the things that was causing me to hit the CB off center was...my cue touching my side during my stroke. I moved it out and turned a little more and started hitting the center CB again. I still had a lot of work to do on other things but...

    🎈Gabe Owen Wrapless Merry Widow🎈

    That is a beautiful cue! I played with my Shurtz/Bob Owen yesterday. I took it to the pool hall just to hit a few with it. It's not my regular player because I couldn't stand it getting stolen. I couldn't stop playing with it and shot with it for hours. Delightful! Sounds like Gabe's cues...

    2023 World Pool Championship

    Unfortunately I agree. This year I had to make do with watching the daily highlights and it was ok. I was too busy to watch it all anyway so it was nice to just get a recap at the end of the day.
