    Using too much inside English??

    OMG stop looking at it as TIPS of english! There are an infinite amount of "tips" of english so you can't possibly do this deliberately!. Not to mention you have to take into account the deflection, swerve and throw. You are rattling the pocket because you don't have a feel for it yet. The only...

    Mosconi cup

    S See DRAMA sells. How do you think nascar got so popular? It was a fight that broke out on wide world of sports...youtube it because there is a whole documentary about it. I am actually going to watch the game with Earl and Oscar to see this interaction...and to confirm what I believe to be...

    How to fix pool

    Jump shots should be banned...or you must use a full cue. The diamonds on the sides should be removed. Pockets should be 4 1/2 to 4 1/4"...no bigger or smaller! No alternating breaks 5 minute (or whatever) game clocks instead of shot clocks Bring back the hot refs...why we have a bunch of old...

    Pool is dying as is, why make it worse by turning it private?

    Oh I totally agree...nobody but the most dedicated pool fans already are going to watch the mosconi cup...nevermind pay for it. The 90's got huge because pool was opened up to the general public...it was on tv...they had big purses, and they had Earl! and Mikaela! and Efren! etc...it was the...

    Mosconi cup

    Also I have a question. Do they hold up cheer signs to the audience? I find it distracting and forced the amount of cheering that goes on...on the players side too. How much is first prize? I think its 30k split 4 ways? Hardly life altering. I just don't think pool is exciting enough to warrant...

    Pool is dying as is, why make it worse by turning it private?

    First of all the worst thing pool did was alternating breaks. The second worse thing pool did was alternating breaks. The third worse thing pool did.... You get the idea. People love to see 10 packs. NHL did the same thing with trying to even out the league...people love dynasty's and...

    Mosconi cup

    Stupid format. This should be a world cup with teams representing countries...not the US against Europe. The US never wins because Europe has the best players...maybe China and the Philippines to...and Taiwan etc....you get the idea that every country can produce stellar players. The US does not...

    Pool is dying as is, why make it worse by turning it private?

    The hey day was the 90's for sure...I think the US open purse was bigger back then than today isn't it? I think streaming is great though. Although why is the mosconi cup US against Europe? Just make it a world cup already....the current format is ridiculous since the US doesn't even have the...

    Center to edge an aiming system or just natural aiming explained?

    No the 6 ball counts. Had that been a tournament I would have kept shooting the same way.

    De-constructing everything!

    You do realize that I set up the balls in the same layout as they were for Luc Salvas right? After the break, there was the 2,3,5,6,8,9. The video started when Luc Salvas shot the 2 ball. The 6 ball was pocket speed and should have dropped if the shelfs were right. It was also my first and only...

    De-constructing everything!

    I don't understand what's wrong with Russian Kenny's form? He gets down on the shot and shoots. You don't have to feather it 50 times ...just get the tip close to the cueball...confirm and go lol. ok I see it now...he jumps up on this shot. Yes you do need to mimimize movement to be consistent...

    De-constructing everything!

    You guys didn't believe me when I said I could run a 9 ball rack faster than Luc Salvas and then I showed you a video...just trust me on this one because I'm too lazy to get out the head cam if I could even find it. If you really don't believe me then go ahead and do it yourself.

    De-constructing everything!

    Ok thought a clean thread for this would be warranted. Most would agree these are the fundamentals. Stance (foot placement) Bridge Elbow (pendulum etc etc) Shoulder (not dropping before contact) Head (don't move it) Chin, Chest on cue (snooker knows best) Delivery of cue straight through the...

    Pro players still using wood shafts

    I have a revo. Carbon fiber shafts far superior to wood. You don't see tennis players using wooden rackets anymore do you? The only thing I prefer wood for is masse's....not the trick shot ones...actual in the game shots.

    2 rail kick fail and here is why.

    oh great while the rest of us have to wait while you do all the math only to miss by a foot. They should remove the diamonds entirely imo. This isn't paint by numbers. I got rid of my diamonds. I guarantee I can kick more accurately than any of you system guys. 1 rail, 2 rail, 3 rail, 4 rail, 5...

    2 rail kick fail and here is why.

    I explained it in my post about how it's pointless to aim in pool.

    Center to edge an aiming system or just natural aiming explained?

    Oh the 6 ball hung in the pocket...but I hit it pocket speed so it should have dropped...pool hall table, humidity whatever it should have dropped. BUT like I said this was my one and only attempt at this rack since that's all Luc Salvas had.
