    Mr. Strickland Goes to Philippines

    if anyone wants to see a very good view of earls grip/stroke, i played with him a few weeks ago and filmed him, got some good video from behind of his technique. He doesnt form a loop around the cue with his thumb and pointer, he cups the cue in his hand, and he actually twists his wrist when he...

    Cue Ball Frozen to the Short Rail

    A little trick that i use in situations like this, when the o.b is far away from the cueball, cueball on rail, and dead straight in.....i pretend the o.b isnt there, and aim to scratch in the center of the pocket. If it is lined up slightly to one side of the pocket, aim to scratch favoring that...

    Cue Shopping

    absolutely phenomenal. They were the last vendor to still have ob cue extensions in stock after ob went under. I ordered one, and it came in chipped/damaged. I called, spoke to a friendly woman, and she sent me a replacement no questions asked. I wouldnt hesitate to do business with them.

    Lots of APA Drama Lately

    You have to mark the pocket in the apa that you are shooting the 8 ball into. People use their pocket chalkers, or some other object which stands out. You are suppose to do it, even if the 8 ball is hanging in the pocket and it is 100% obvious which pocket it is going into. If you dont mark it...

    Lots of APA Drama Lately

    the apa has always been drama, hence why i quit it in favor of private leagues. I found that teams of weak players work harder at getting you on technicalities than to beat you by making balls.....at least in my region. I have seen teams claim foul and take points because someone didnt mark the...

    Heart rate data during play....

    you must be pretty fit to have a resting rate of 55. Thats on the low end of average bpm. Very active people tend to fall low on the scale. I'm skinny, fairly active (walk 1.5 to 2 miles a day), in my 30s, dont smoke and am in the 70s or 80s bpm resting, which i think is pretty "average". Im...

    Heart rate data during play....

    I just took a lesson with allison a few days ago, and she told us "dont think for a second that us pros dont shake. We all do". So, i assume their heart rates do the same.

    met earl strickland yesterday in Albany. Videos coming

    I knew there had to be some azb members there. I only recall seeing one person get a rack on earl. Then Earl came up to me and said something along the lines of "anyone can beat anyone once", and i said to earl "thats right, try beating you in a race to 10!". I was using my old, mcdermott cue...

    met earl strickland yesterday in Albany. Videos coming

    i talked with earl about that as well. I told him I respect his game a bit more than the other pros because he has to play under more pressure than the other pros, because he has to deal with the crowds always trying to piss him off and get a reaction out of him. Someone next to me was even...
