    Fear that John Schmidt might need...

    I taught someone

    I taught someone to draw the ball! I read once some people will never experience the joy of the draw shot, and that is a shame. At a get together yesterday, a "cannon party", my friends daughter and myself played pool on her parents 8 ft. pool table. We played once before, the last time they...

    Golf?

    It sure looks fast, and tight... those tables have been modified so that the balls will just about rub the pocket facings on the way in. Watch how careful Shane is when he gets his ball near the bottom left corner.

    newbie question

    First of all, there is no substitute for a machinist level. However, if you are like me and insist on doing it yourself, and don't have a ml, rolling the balls works very well. the balls do not lie. It is important to first get a flat plane, start with the center slate, level it as perfect...

    Is this a Brunswick Gold Crown Pool Table?

    It looks just like my gc1, with the plastic pcs under the side boards. The table has a nameplate... I say buy it. your pool game is going to get better after playing on that table. Also the pockets look generous compared to the 10 ft snooker tables I have played on, not so tight as to be...

    i need help banking

    Here is a method you can try. You might already know it, but here goes anyway. I don't bank very good, so take this with a few grains of salt. It may work better for you. It is basically a mirror system. aim your shot at an imaginary pocket 4.5 feet directly across from the pocket you want the...

    Best line from a losing opponent.

    In a double elim. tourny years ago, nine ball, first match I beat a "much better player", at least in his own mind. A little while later I was walking by him as he said to a friend, "he was making everything" He said it like it was some kind of bad thing. I thought to myself, tell it to your...

    Funny pic/gif thread...

    Good one, I asked a musician friend that same question in high school about a lifetime ago. His immediate response: door hinge. I haven't gotten a better response yet. "What rhymes with orange"

    When is a pool pocket too tight?

    I thought I knew those pockets.. I rented that table for a minute or two on one of the times I was able to go there. The counter guy said the table was set up for golf. I didn't care, I just like to play on a snooker table whenever I get a chance. but wtf? I didn't even take a shot. the ball...

    Here is a fine example of a non elbow drop player, you could balance a champagne glass on this kids elbow. https://youtu.be/UgPuJhXnRHY For me, I don't think about it anymore, this video messed up my game for a while. I find it best to let the elbow do what ever it must for any given shot...

    If you follow through past a certain point the elbow must drop, try it. If you want your elbow to stay put learn how far to follow through without letting the joint move. good luck.

    Diagram for fractional aiming.

    It has already helped me some. I worked on some of the shots for a while today. And tmrw and probably the next day too. I knew a little about half ball hit etc. but never knew how to use it. the accuracy is amazing. Is this the way a person might be taught snooker? thx steven
