    Pool Agent

    Now this is a job that would def exist if pool had any money in it. "No don't shoot that. That's stupid." Words every player wish they heard someone say to them before they were in their chair thinking, "why tf did I shoot that? That was so stupid." Honestly tho, when I was a mid handicapper...

    Pool Agent

    Agents negotiate contracts. So unless we are going the way of contracts for mere appearances like Shaw got, I don't really see the need for them in pool. A business manager or personal assistant for helping them with bookings and money management is a different story. But no agents required...

    4 1/4?

    ye I may have jumped the gun on my post before reading more and seeing other pics. And also the ever important measuring methods....which vary as much as pocket sizes themselves and deserve a standard mom and the guy in her basement would approve of.

    should I try a Meucci The Pro 12.5mm (maple) if I haven't liked other LD shafts (many)?

    I tried my friend's Meucci Pro shaft and loved it. The ferrule they use makes for such a satisfying soft yet thumpy hit with his medium tip on it. It is honestly probably the best feeling cue I ever hit and I absolutely love mine but could see myself switching over if not for the sentimental...

    4 1/4?

    4.5 is a snug fit on 2 balls. this is def less than 4.5. Maybe 4 3/8?

    about stroke/follow-through- keeping it straight?

    That kind of cue movement isn't an issue if your elbow doesn't drop until after contact. You see it often. Once his elbow drops, it collapses towards the body, so for a rightie, the tip goes right. It's def not from application of spin on this shot as he is shooting with left spin and...

    Why the Best Players Want Tight Pockets

    I get it, players well north of 700FR want tighter pockets for some separation to show up in the nosebleeds.. But why in the world do some 500s that run out in the low single digit percent range? You want 4" pro pockets and 5" banger pockets? Fine. But 4.5" will do just fine for all if you...

    Should All Skill Levels Have an Equal Chance to Win a Weekly 9-Ball Handicapped Tournament?

    u mean the advantages or compensatioms given to "equalize the chances of winning"? try and not fall asleep before reaching the end of a semtence gramps :p. those last few words count too.

    Should All Skill Levels Have an Equal Chance to Win a Weekly 9-Ball Handicapped Tournament?

    oh i get it and agree with ur approach. that's why I chalk up ur dilemma as just a reality of handicapped events. The top guys will always have a big edge bc it just isn't feasible to make races long enough to even the odds and still finish in a reasonable time.

    Tight pockets are NOT good for the game!

    ha. I love the term '5 hanger banger'. I once called a buddy that and as an sl6 he was offended. So I bet him our table time and a beer that he couldn't beat the 6ball ghost (makes off the break spot) in a race to 5. He lost...as a 5 hanger banger should. Not a huge surprise, but he...

    Should All Skill Levels Have an Equal Chance to Win a Weekly 9-Ball Handicapped Tournament?

    with 5 levels and a max offset of 6-2, there is no way for lower ranked guys to compete with the better players. a FR500 is a 4-1 dog vs a FR700 so 8-2 is fair. And Im sure when u say lower ranked players you are referring to well below 500. 600 to 400 is the same insurmountable 4:1 edge...

    Excuses for not making shot …….

    This young lady came in to shoot a bit with her bf and another couple after a night out at some club no doubt.... Her outfit was quite revealing and turned all heads in the room. After a while of nonstop gauking she finally felt self conscious enough to put on her much bigger bf's sweater...

    Stroke - which muscles to use, which joints should move

    There are many different types of strokes out there and all of em can work to a world class level. To illustrate, even within the confines of a snooker setup, Stephen Hendry shared that after working with a few different coaches he was experiencing some confusion at the table regarding which...

    hard vs. soft tips

    The difference is feel and feedback. some hate the feel of a soft tip others love it and hate the hard. Recently I tried a cheap soft tip over my kamui ss just to see what 10% of the price plays like and it hardened up a lot on me and i started to hate how it felt. but soumd and sensation...

    old school drills?

    well I think we've found the final boss of 'warmup' drills. would be a pleasure to watch efren take these apart. I think I'd need 5 BIH's to even threaten getting out but could be a nice challenge to see how few IBIH i could get away with.
