    What is YOUR favorite training aid?

    My favorite training aids would be: Pay attention to the basics, holding the cue, stance, your stroke start to finish and practice, practice, practice. If you think you would benefit from tuition go and get some and to those who don't think they do, good luck with that!

    Fouls on ALL BALLS!

    IMO - All Ball Fouls is the way to go for all games, the rest of the World plays it, surely the more we standardize rules the better off we'll all be?

    Alex higgins 147

    That's because Terry was 'Old School' he never thought about breaks other than getting one big enough to win the frame. I know that from personal experience after playing Terry in an exhibition match, his first after winning the World Title. A guy at our club was from the same Welsh village as...

    laminated shaft vs reg maple shaft

    IMHO There appears to be little if any difference between the LD and regular Maple Shafts including deflection. I say play what feels right for you, I have tried them but gone back to good old Maple as it feels better to me.

    What is your favorite drink when you play pool?

    I too remember Fosters when I was living in the UK, I was younger then and it's pretty awful now to me. I thought the funniest thing was when I visited Australia during the 80's they thought I was crazy for as they put it "drinking that piss". I guess it's like the kids over here drinking...

    Joss Cues

    Met Dan at the Atlanta Billiard Show last weekend and ordered my first cue made specifically to my specs. It's going to be 60" two different types of Cocobolo, wrapless and rings at all places, two 12.75" shafts. Other than that and the good hit, told Dan to have fun, don't need any points etc...

    Professional Players as Teams

    This sounds good to me and as I am fairly new to Pool I am not sure how this Pro-Am part works. I would like to see a Pro-Am alongside a main Tournament where a Pool Room Team is represented. That Team would be made up of the Pro who's either associated with or owns that Pool Room, plus say 3...

    Diet Coke when I'm playing, if I have time afterwards, a Blue Moon without the girly slice of Orange!

    Sigel goes 102 and out unFINNished...

    Nathan Good points and yes I would be really pissed if it happened to me. If I foul and I know it I will always call it whatever the situation, that's how I was taught to play the game. I would expect the same from everyone that I play, but I also know that will not always be the case. I have...

    Looking for: 60 inch production cue..

    Went to the Atlanta Billiard Show this week and spoke with Dan from Joss Cues, he is making me a 60. Specs were 60", 2 different types of Cocobolo, 2x 12.75 shafts and left the rest for them to have fun with. I will post pics here when it arrives. Maybe give them a call?

    A Letter from Barry Behrman...anyone share the same opinions expressed here?

    Jay It's pretty sickening to see where the Cup will be shown live or on short delay, I believe earlier this year I saw that it would be shown outside Europe in at least these: South Africa, Australia, China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Canada, Taiwan, New Zealand, Phillipines, India, Singapore and...

    A Letter from Barry Behrman...anyone share the same opinions expressed here?

    Jay is of course 100% correct what we need are TV Exec's who care about our Sport, unfortunately there aren't any out there. IMHO if we had even a single one out there to kick this off Pool in the USA could be a success. Nobody can tell me it wouldn't be a bigger hit than some of the shows I...
