    Fight or flight

    Meh everyone chokes now and then I don’t care who you are. The best players of every sport choke. Gambling won’t stop you from never choking again. I feel plenty of pressure from leagues and tournaments. More times then not I handle it fine. I’m just on the struggle bus right now. Ebbs and...

    Fight or flight

    That’s the problem I do have a solid psr but sometimes it pops up anyway. Trust me this time next week I’ll be back to running out fine but man this game gets in your head and when your confidence gets shook it takes everything with it. Oh well.. it’s what keeps us coming back I guess. If...

    Fight or flight

    This is something I’ve struggled with on and off through my 35 year playing life And I really am now. To give you an Idea in my first two session of apa masters I played every week. A session is 12 weeks and I lost 3 matches in both sessions combined. Right now I’m lost 4 of my last 5 . 3 of...

    J&J pool cue case users - satin dividers or fiber tubes - preference?

    I remember when I bought a justis case At the expo. I considered buying a used one from someone there until I picked it up. It was the old tube style case. No way I wouldn’t want to carry that all day at a tournament. Lol Way too heavy for my skinny shoulders. I went over to his stand and bought...

    Billiards guru craves the return of billiards in his Shenandoah Valley hometown.

    Love when people talk in absolutes. No on? I would love to see pool halls return. We have less places to play in my town then in my 35 years of playing. We have no pool halls. Most of the bars are gone replaced by brew pubs who don’t have a table. The closest thing to a pool hall is if a bar has...

    Is Predator's move into every aspect of pro billiards really a good thing?

    I have no problem with my predator products and I’ve had a lot of them 🤷‍♂️ . Hell the cases our a great value for the money. that being said my most expensive is the p3 . I can’t imagine spending the money on a blak series or throne. that’s just to much for a production cue to me.

    Is Predator's move into every aspect of pro billiards really a good thing?

    Anyone putting money into the game at this point is a good thing. I don’t see it as any different than golf honestly.

    Lucasi Pro line

    My uni lock predator never comes loose. I prefer the quick put together and break down in tournaments. I could tell a single difference in hit but everyone is different I guess

    Predator Las Vegas Mens Open

    I would agree.. the production quality looked much better this year. The predator tables are starting to grow on me. I’m not trading in my diamond but I don’t hate them either. I must admit I was wrong. I didn’t like this format at first but it keep it interesting. billy rolled over everyone...

    Pool jerseys are bad, but also not good

    I don’t have a problem with them in pro tournaments . You have sponsors that need recognized . I think it’s better than when they were just slapping random patches on a shirt lol. I think it’s funny seeing my local apa 4 wear one. I was pretty disapointed at last acs nationals last year. I...

    How Bad I Am Nowadays

    They are so much a like it’s amazing. A golf swing to me seems so much more complicated though. You can go from hitting the ball down the middle of the fairway to slicing the piss out of it and be simply your letting your wrist slightly break down somewhere and have no idea. Lol its a...

    Magic eraser vs black revo marks on cloth

    I have a sprey bottle that has a mixture of woolite and water. I sprey that on a folded up white cotton shirt and wipe my table down from the middle towards me. does a pretty good job But it wasn’t strong enough to take the black marks off

    Magic eraser vs black revo marks on cloth

    I’m a bit anal but It was more out of curiosity I did it. I swear any stains in life I can clean with either magic eraser or dawn dish detergent . Dawn will take everything out of clothes. Oil stains , mustard, blood … whatever you manage to get on your clothes put a spot of dawn on it, make...

    Magic eraser vs black revo marks on cloth

    You know I hold off getting it recovered Because of that . my cloth is in great condition. I clean it and the balls once a week and I feel playing on some worn cloth is more what I’ll find when playing in tournaments then perfect conditions.

    Magic eraser vs black revo marks on cloth

    I’ll probably get butchered in the comments for this lol but I’m getting my table recovered most likely in the next 6 months . I‘ll of had my diamond for 2 years at that point and I play almost every day so it’s time. I got the typical black on my cloth were I break from so I thought I’ll see...

    How do these diamond tables play so badly? vid

    As much as I love my diamond I always cheer for Brunswick to do well but their barbox table is just fugly to me. I’d rather buy a predator before that and I feel they look like a table you would buy off temu

    How do these diamond tables play so badly? vid

    This is what I’ve said lol every table plays different. If your as a good a player as you think you are you can adjust.

    Great quote that lots of players need to read in an effort to speed up the game.

    That’s exactly how I’m going to play if I think it bothers you. In 35 years of playing I’ve never given a single f$%$ how fast or slow somone plays. all I care about is how I play. They can do what they want when they are at the table.
