How much are you selling this product for? This is just the type of data beginner players who can't just read ball effects may find useful. Also, if you sticker up a shot 20 times, you can get a neat little readout of your tip placement dispersion like the 610 vs 520 you posted. People...

Ye, I think the target focus and 'hit the target' thought is what's really doing the heavy lifting here rather than if you focus on the tip or the hand doing that. Either can work just fine imo and I guess would depend on preference. I'm on the other end and feel only tip momentum and send...

You might be interested in checking out some motor-control studies on internal vs external focus. Spoiler alert: in every study, subjects instructed to be externally focused (on target/outcome) way out-performed those instructed to be internally focused (on what the body or a particular body...

depends if you're 6'4 or 5'4 I guess. But it aint that high.

only when they're drunk.

It's been discussed. Just to make it stable and secure with a lil body weight so it isn't floaty. Then some points were raised about overdoing this leading to overuse injuries and shoulder stress. Some is good and solid. But too much will hurt after a while.

There are certainly ways to carry more load without as much risk of overuse injury. Fran pointed out a really good one many snooker guys teach which isn't really feasible on a crowded pool table. But I just didn't understand your statement on how using the body to put weight on the bridge hand...

Weight on the hand puts stress on the shoulder over time. More weight, more stress. That pressure coming from the lean of the body makes no difference and there is no way to avoid stressing the shoulder if you are going to include it for stability and carry weight on the bridge hand. Met a...

Ha. It is a shark move. My friend played pro basketball in Europe and his go-to move when a guy was hot was to try and make him think of his technique in some way with comments like, "man, you're on tonight. your shot kinda reminds me of so and so. Is that what you're doing?". Worked like a...

4 would be correct if you changed one word.... speed to acceleration. Not everyone approaches speed control this way, but many advocate for controlling speed with the length of the stroke. The stroke itself goes off the same way, at the same rate of acceleration. The result of the same...

let's learn from almost and not do that again lol. The best setup I've seen for practicing power breaks when just working on the speed building is a guy who threw his puffy winter jacket and hoody down by the foot rail and blasted away into them. Jasmyn Oaschan has a vid using pillows...

so the one sport there is no difference is the one in which the horse is the athlete. cool. That retired US women's team got mercied 12-0. If they played full game it would be 30-0. The real clincher in the debate tho is when the reigning champ women played a friendly against an under 14...

Yes. He plays what you'd expect a 'macho' game to look like. I really liked his style and stroke when he played (and beat) Earl. But when he answered the question, "why don't you use a jump cue" in the post-game interview with, "I don't look good in a dress", I fell in love lol.

I dunno. Define obsession I guess lol. Tony Robles spoke about his transformation from an ok player to a full blown pro... it took him full days for 3 and a half years.... tho I may be misremembering his story while he was commentating a match. If we look at how long it takes to get 10k...

Pass. But i'd pay to watch u have a go at Shaw

Garczar would love to Ro Sham Bo Shaw for days.

I just meant that street ball is usually win by 2. I asked a guy if he wanted to do win by 2 as we got to hill-hill and even tho it was my break he just replied "this aint basketball". Even tho I was joking, now that I think about it, pool pros playing HORSE to decide a set would be wildly...

HORSE in case win by 2 is 'too basketball'

There was a thread recently that had some good answers in there on the differences between men and women. It is just a few months old so I doubt contributor's answers would change. U coulda just searched 'men vs women' before posting, but here you go...

Most halls I go to have mismatched ball sets that are beat to hell and smaller than they should be, making templates useless. But now that I bring nice balls with me, the templates travel in the ball box. Before I gave up on templates with hall balls, I put them in a thin magazine that I...
