There is no such thing as a talking rooster. This is AI.

… what?

Please read what I wrote a few posts ago. Nobody is using equations or math when they actually play.

Speaking for someone who doesn't gamble, I don't personally consider putting up $50 or $60 a couple times a month during the course of the night as much more than the cost of friendly entertainment. I am talking about people who play $300 or $500, or a couple grand per match as gambling. For...

I hear you. But at least for me, it is very easy to turn all of that off. It is compartmentalized. I play completely by pre-shot routine and feel. I'd say with billiards I play even more by feel than most players since I consider diamond systems a distraction. Maybe that is why I'm a little bit...

Reading all of these stories reassures me that if I were transplanted back in time I would not fit in at all, like a college yuppie in the police force. I have trouble relating. None the less I am glad that I am able to add some positive value to the pool world today.

You still don't understand. Nobody is expected to, or should be, thinking about or doing math while playing pool. All of this stuff is simply an external exercise to come to conclusions with clarity. For example, a player can spend their entire career playing beautifully and winning tournaments...

I would guess that the added nylon helps reduce the water retention. I need to buy some billiard cloth this summer so this is good to know.

I hope that you take the time to learn more about this because it could very well give you a big boost in your game. Small things we never know end up making big differences.

Yep you are on the right track. Finding and then accepting exactly where your vision center is will then follow with the rest of your stance and stroke settling in place from this. After this phase you can start to use your lower peripheral vision to verify you are stroking into your desired...

"To 'win' is a bad reason for playing because this motive will not help you become good at the game... Those of us who fall in love with the game don't do so because we love to win. We fall in love with it for other reasons: the pleasures of small motions... Focusing on the grace and elegance of...

I think I understand what you are saying, but this part isn't clear to me. Do you mean that you respect people that encouraged you go through hard work to achieve your goals? Whether or not you pay cash (be it for a "class" or an "opportunity"), you can have mentors either way. And either way...

Awesome work! It must be a great feeling to have your equipment cutting wood with the garage door open mid morning on a nice day! I can imagine that smell.

Good thread here, insight into different perspectives.

Mostly all correct, but I learned to play by playing better players, for free. I never respected anyone who required a stake to expose their knowledge. They usually don’t know anything useful compared to people who are interested in spreading knowledge far and wide. I don’t believe in paying...

I started playing in 2005, so it’s been 20 years. I only started playing as a release from academic stress, and never was around the game or any type of gambling growing up. I am part of the new breed that is mostly fascinated with the beauty of precision as a skill. I work too hard for my money...

In Massachusetts that almost a whole house!

Even if they do offer a color, they may not have any in stock. If they don't, then they would need a reason to dye an entire bolt the color of your choice. A bolt goes for around $20k (per Felice), so it isn't a good investment unless you have a plan for all of that cloth or can convince a...

Joe Tucker is a world class pool instructor. He lives near Providence, an hour and a half from Boston. Mazin Shooni is in Malden if three cushion is your thing. He is an excellent resource and sought after.

The DigiBall pass-around will start shortly. Reviews are to be posted in a separate thread that will be created soon. If you are one of the testers, and happen to have a home table, as well as a camera and a computer, or have the capability to produce "pool media" with your setup, please also...
