I like the moment when I break a man's ego. -- Bobby Fischer

8-ball still some way ahead...

Thanks qwert!

Erm, it's satire...

Well there's a shocker :)

That is basically a summary of what I've been saying about the APA. I also started playing in it for the first time this session. I love it so far and am working to improve.

*bumping this*

I'm only a novice-intermediate player, but I regularly go from 7 to 9ft and back down again. The main differences I've noticed on a 9ft compared to a 7ft: - any errors in your stroke or your aiming are magnified on the larger playing surface - i.e. you need to be rather more accurate - more...

Well I chose 7-ball because firstly I believe it's growing. But mainly because it's a very distinctive game and I thought it would appeal to those who like to play something different from the norm. You can buy special racks and balls for it now. Based on this description...

Wow, 8-ball has really taken an overnight lead after being level with 9-ball! I expected 10-ball to be more popular than indicated so far. I didn't realize one-pocket and straight were that popular these days. I'd never heard of one-pocket until a few weeks ago. Very interesting ongoing...

LOL, you must be several times stronger than me. I've been using this method for several weeks and have yet to lift the CB from the slate. On the other hand, I've made a lot of balls. Usually get a good spread of balls too.

Would APA 4 at 8-ball be a beginner or intermediate? I've got one break&run patch so far in my first session playing APA. How do we define a beginner? Someone who knows the rules and who can hit the object ball most of the time?

I wonder if the APA will put on 10-ball leagues in the future?

And rightly so.

Oops. Sorry, your 1st post didn't really make that clear.

Break from the balk line about 2-3 inches from either rail. Hit the 2nd ball in the rack head-on as hard as you can. From my experience you've got roughly a 50% chance (perhaps greater) of making a ball. If you're playing lower-ranked players they're unlikely to run out on you if you don't...

Want to see how to use the bridge correctly and consistently? Watch pro snooker. Snooker players have to learn to love it.

I do, every week ;)

Just D/Led 3 videos from YouTube. This looks bleeding awesome! Hardcore-porn for billiards geeks :) Just Vols. 1-3 could keep a novice like me (APA 8-ball SL4) happy for several years at least. What I particularly like about the content: - 8-ball strategy This is only covered in any depth...
