It should be automatic loss of game, just like making an 8-ball in the wrong pocket when playing 8-ball. The only reason for making up new rules to call-pocket the 9 and only the 9 is what - to make sure slop-pocketing the 9 doesn't advantage the shooter and thus disadvantage the opponent...

It would also be nice if newcomers like myself felt free to post what they think. I expect some bile-thrower will eventually form a hate-ship toward me, for reason or reasons unknown. I again hit the "Submit Reply" button with trepidation. Oh well, I can always unsubscribe, and go back to...

At the local level, there are some negatives to overcome if someone wants lots of new pool league members. The biggest concern, of course, is the lack of clean, safe pool rooms with good equipment, located within 20-30 minutes of enough players to make up several leagues per week. Long...

I hope RKC comes to Texas, just because one more first rate mechanic never hurt a region at all. His arrival might take business away from some Craigslist wannabees who claim much but deliver little - IF people on Craigslist are paying attention, and if RKC tries to get that business. With...

I like the name Perfect Aim. I hope it does not get changed. To me, it is a very good name for the website and for the instruction set. Yep, it's just perfect. :thumbup:

in the mail Payment sent Monday, should be there directly.

begin NPR I am only writing this because using the word 'dishonest' to describe anything about Gene's Perfect Aim instruction is, well, dishonest. Perfect Aim is just a name, not a claim. "Perfect" as a verb means "to make (something) completely free from faults or defects, or as close to...

"Perfect Aim" is a fine title, very descriptive. I fail to see any misrepresentation anywhere. I've yet to meet the person who would believe they can become perfect at anything after a couple of hours of lessons. So, I doubt anyone equates "Perfect Aim" with that unattainable concept, true...

As a card-carrying Parasite, I can only say this: Shawn who? isn't he the guy with some sort of problem with his balls? They turned some pukey colors or something? Poor guy, should see a doctor. If he can afford one.

That's the best idea in years about promoting interest in watching pool. Switch to different matches, commenting on the match, the standings, the personalities or careers or recent wins. Or maybe comment about the drama of a shot choice, or a tough match, or even an obscure foul or ball...

LOL good post, you had me going there...

I am proud to say my estimate of 675 shots is very close to the inestimable Dr. Dave and crew, a person and group whom I admire very much, though I doubt our methods of calculation were anything like each other's, me having to rely on my aging addled brain, instead of solid experience and a...

The main thing is to get an experienced hungry realtor working on your behalf and generating lots of comparables to show to you. That way you will know the prices for similar properties in whatever area you choose. While you think your current deal sounds good, I think it is quite a bit...

I downloaded some free video lessons by Tor Lowry, then quickly bought the rest of his video instruction set. Shortly thereafter, I bought Mark Wilson's book Play Great Pool. Using Tor's videos and Mark's book, I've been studying and practicing for about three or four months now. Between these...

The number of shots has nothing to do with position of the two balls. It has everything to do with the angle between the cue ball and the object ball, measured as the angle between two vectors - starting point of CB to contact with OB, and from contact with OB to pocket (or a cushion...

I think that HOF cue is great. go for it. I hope the old gent approves. It makes for a good Christmas story if we can go through with this.

Get someone else to take pics this time if you find it impossible to do any better than those photos. Smartphones 2 yr old or newer probable have a Macro or Flower setting for closeups. Get good bright light or use flash. It's not that hard; with a little effort you can enable people to...

I'll donate $20, money order or check, just no paypall. So whoever steps forward to coordinate this please pm me. It is possible that Hawleys, usually an internet retailer but they do maintain a small storefront, and only a couple of miles from Billiard Den, has this exact cue in stock, which...

I've enjoyed following your posts. I've been one of your behind-the-computer cheerleaders hoping you have a speedy recovery from your knee replacement, so you can get up to speed 100% and show those young whipper-snappers how it's done. A big "Merry Christmas" to you and yours, and here's...

...hell I was at the Billiard Den just last week myself. There was a waitress, a couple of guys at the bar way around the corner from the main tables, two older guys playing each other, and me and an other guy practicing on different tables. It was afternoon. The first time I went to the...
