    Tops on How to overcome Steering the cue.

    Learn about SPF. Especially the F. If you have one spot the cue should end at the end of EVERY stroke, it will end up there at the end of EVERY stroke. If you don't have a habit of having it ending in one spot, maybe you should...

    I think it's fake. If you look at how close he is to the stairs before he falls, he would land with the middle of his back on the steps. Also he's bending at the waist just as they cut way from him (as if to catch himself). When they cut back. His head is resting on the lower step, arms out...

    Tips for improving spin on Cue Ball

    Not real sure you'll actually get to this post, but here goes. The one thing that may help more than anything else, is to have a relaxed stroke hand. The trap is usually trying to hit something harder to get more spin, but in doing so, you tense up your stroke hand. This can have just the...

    The best way to improve?

    There's a lot of good advice here, and a lot of it has been repeated. Drills/Practice. Playing better players. Table time. Instruction. Etc. Here are a few that I've not seen mentioned. Watch good players. Watch pro matches. See if you would do what they do. If you are doing something...

    What is the proper way to brush/clean a pool table?

    At Rusty's in Arlington and Fort Worth Texas, and at Magoo's in Tulsa Oklahoma this is what they do before you get your table. (They do this when someone brings up a rack from playing before the next person gets the table) Use a pool brush, and brush down the rails. Direction does not matter...

    Change in 9 ball rules

    Why is it, that everyone remembers when someone got a lucky roll against them, and won a game, (even a match game) but they never seem to remember when they got a lucky roll, or lucky shot to win a game or match. I for one know I've done it I've seen some of the people posting here do it...

    Where does the cue ball go here

    If the same amount of 'Top' spin was applied on both shots, then it would contact the rail at the same spot. In reality, as you are adding side spin, you're probably putting a little less 'top' spin on it, as your cue tip goes to the side of the cue ball. Will this be enough to make a...

    Do you have a link or the name of the episode so others can see what you're talking about? Anything would be helpful. Thanks.

    Yet another (short) rant about checking in our cues when flying.

    Most airlines hand out cans of soda. If you ask for it to be unopened, they will gladly do this. If you get an spare long sleeved shirt, or jacket from your carry on, tie an end in the sleeve, and drop the soda can down the sleeve, you now have a very nasty mace you can swing around and...

    long straight ins

    THIS!! This is the first thing I teach anyone who is wanting to learn to play pool as far as cue ball control. It does both stop shot control, and straight ins. Wonderful drill. Also, you don't need to do it all that much. 5 or 10 shots a day and you're done. You'll be shooting straight...

    May 24th $20 8ball bar box Rusty's Fort Worth,TX

    This will mainly depend on the number of people in the tournament. Usually at least 7th/8th. If there are more than 48, may do 9th-12th as well.

    May 24th $20 8ball bar box Rusty's Fort Worth,TX

    There is a kind of patio... occasionally they'll bring a table or two outside, but not too often. If you want, you can bring a camping chair/folding chair, and sit outside and eat if you'd like. They can not serve drinks out side. (TABC) Yes, you can bring your own steak, and Jeff will cook...

    May 24th $20 8ball bar box Rusty's Fort Worth,TX

    They have 9 bar boxes all the time. 7 will be used for the tournament, as one is an over sized bar box, and the 9th is a challenge table on the other side of the building.
