    Light Grip for playing pool.

    +1 for the shock value of the thumb tacks! You make a nice power shot with those and I'm done!

    One pocket question!

    Maybe its just a set up. They're lulling you to sleep until the time is right. Then, its time to raise the stakes. Unless its just for fun or small stakes, I'd stay away from that game.

    Visuals for Dennis O's 9b pattern rack.

    They aren't bunched together, but the same pattern is there. Most of the balls are headed towards the same, far corner pocket. On a soft break the ball doesn't bank in, it stays mid table. Probably less random collisions too with a soft break. Too easy for Dennis!

    Visuals for Dennis O's 9b pattern rack.

    Great observations here Creedo. I wish you would have mentioned the magic rack earlier in the post though. (That changed the whole aspect.) Great runs, no doubt. The pattern racking isn't so bad, but that MR is too easy for pros. Least they can do is rack with the 9 on the spot. Also wondering...

    Cloth Cleaner - Thoughts...

    Stay away from spray cleaners like chalk off, they slow your table down. As many have said, the X-1 is the way to go.

    What's the difference between "casual players" and "bangers"?

    There are pros who are douchebags, but nobody would call them bangers. At least how I understand it, a banger refers strictly to skill level(not how a player carries themselves).

    What's the difference between "casual players" and "bangers"?

    Nobody wants to be known as a banger. For that reason, I think its best not to use the term.

    TOI vs TOO - CJ vs Mike Sigel

    Ratta is right, we need to be able to hit most shots with all different types of spin. We cant predict what spin would be preferred until we see the shot. First thing I thought of when I heard about TOI was that it was the opposite way Mike Siegel plays. The way I see it, MIke uses OE to...

    Measle ball, i HATE it

    That's a good point, Sean. Because the red circle is easier to draw, its generally preferred for 9 ball. The blue circle, preferred for straight pool. Most pool rooms I've seen though, do not carry blue circle balls. Sometimes its because the cue ball has been replaced. (As someone here...

    Measle ball, i HATE it

    If you don't like the measle ball or the blue circle, try the red circle ball. http://www.ozonebilliards.com/redcircuebal.html The super aramith pro plays good too, but I prefer the red circle. http://www.ozonebilliards.com/suarprocueba.html

    Play The Table Not The Player...NOT

    True that can happen, but the A players reaction will vary. Some may come away saying they should have gone for the cut. Others would walk away thinking they did nothing wrong, and would play the same shot again. They may also feel the percentages were played correctly, and the other guy got...

    Real King Cobra - Give Credit Where Credit is Due

    He's really not too expensive. If you have a serious issue with your table, get him if you can.

    Play The Table Not The Player...NOT

    During a run with no problems, play the table is solid advice. Any time problems arise, where thinking is required.... I consider my opponent and the leave if I miss. Safety game counts for a lot too, I love a good safety battle. But if I'm outgunned in that department, I usually try to go more...

    What level am i at?

    I'm nothing special Dave, a mere B+ player. I know my place in the pecking order, and I make no claims about beating any ghost.

    What level am i at?

    The more you say, the deeper the hole gets. With all due respect, sir: Post a video, or move on to a different thread.

    If theres no video, it never happened. Nothing personal, just the nature of the internet.
