the ball rolling technique is an excellent way to level the slate, I have set up 3-4 tables this way, the ball don't lie. problems I have run into: over time my slates tend to get uneven. I have read about putting some elmers glue in there to keep them together. I have problems stretching the...

mine is 10.25. My fat shaft is 12 but I can't use it. I don't know what it is about the small tip but it works for me. Maybe because I am so used to it. The way I see it is the contact point between the ball and the tip is so much smaller than the tip itself I really don't think it matters. The...

Joe started playing much better, I would say in pool talk about 2 balls better some time ago. Eventually he explained this system to me but I was hesitant. "I have my own way and that is as good as it gets for me." However, I thought, The system must be looked at. the improvement i see in Joe is...

I agree My first priority is getting the balls opened up. until then, often times I cannot even think of break balls, etc. If the rack has lots of problems I find myself using up all the good balls trying to solve them, leaving very little at the end. but I am working on it. steven

well I would have to say first of all you are playing the absolute most frustrating game. Straight pool will test your patience each and every day you play. sometimes all day for that matter. Secondly, you are not alone. there is an accustats with Mike sigel vs John Schmidt. you can see mike's...

It took me a whole day to think up what I was going to say but I'll just go with what 3 said. He puts the words together pretty good. I will rephrase the question though. The funk situation is another topic there is a very clearly defined limit in what I can do in this game, currently the...

You guys have seen my a game so here is what I have to say how bad it can get. Sometimes I just can't get going. today at the 3 mans house my first inning was a 6 to get on a breakshot then another 9 or so. 15 points. Not all that bad for me coming out cold. It usually takes me 20-30 minutes to...

I was going to ask if you ever found that 10 thousand but screw it sorry about your friend steven

I'll take a shot at this one first: tell your wife, girlfriend and mother you love them very much take out the trash, fix the garbage disposal, etc. get the oil changed in the car. feed the dog, cat or whatever other animals you might have. take the kids out for ice cream. on the morning of...

a goodtime will be had by all, be there or be square. steven

I watch 'em. not all but quite a few, I just don't have lots to say sometimes. Kinda bummed right now, I had to ship my computer back to my kid, it was his anyway I guess but this thing was superfast and I am really going to miss it. thx for all you guys do steven

welcome back anytime Sean. me

What Chris says is exactly right Given prices of todays cues I would have thought it was priced about right. I play with the PB8 bought in 1980something for about $225. While I am currently in a slump it is no fault of the cue, It plays just as great as it ever has. Its owner leaves it in the...

here is one I work on. ob in center of table cb near enough to a corner pocket so you have to bridge on the rail. This makes the shot a little tougher this is a straight into the opposite corner stop shot, make sure it is straight. hit firm with center ball. Hit correctly the ob should get...

Thx for the history lesson. wish I could have been there If this man was indeed as good as you say, and I do not doubt what you do say, it is a damn shame not to have heard of him before.

I actually did get a lesson not to long ago. Well not actually, it was either a dream or my last thought while still awake. Here is what happened. I picked Bobby Chamberlain. He is reasonable close to me, about a day's car ride, and I know he can play. I arrive a day early so I can get my proper...

So I was practicing some 14.1 in my home room and was on a run of about 23 balls when I receive an annoying call from work..nonetheless it ruined my afternoon and running balls was like pulling teeth I couldnt put more than a 3 ball run..anyway..it shows how much concentration is needed...

I am just 54, Give me a while and I'll get back to you steven
