John Morra: just play lefty, wussies

Just try the shot. It's easier jacked up where the cb gets more air and less cloth contact. Makes sense physics-wise given there is less time for the friction to do its work.

To To be faaaaaair, pretty funny

Ye def the cloth/conditions for the most part. Earl even sprays the cloth for exhibitions for that extra zip. As far as the technique for these super draws goes, you pretty much nailed it with the cb being airborne for part of the way down table to reduce friction. This is just due to being...

Many pros do. If they have a low stance, the follow through is brief as the stroke just runs out of room to go any further. When experimenting with a higher stance (for back and for glasses over contacts), a few regulars commented on how my stroke was so much better with glasses. That I was...

Everyone misses shots they 'should' make because no shot is 100%. U can make a fortune betting players on shots with payouts according the percentage they think they make the shot at. Truth is, that if you only hit shots u make 90% of the time in a rack of 10ball, you still only runout...

Pressure does weird things to us all man. I watched that rack till the end and never in a 100 years would I be able to guess either of their fargos. Looks more like something you'd see in 5vs4 race in a beer league.

Iron sharpens iron. Beating your brother is a powerful motivator, but when he's super good, you just gotta get super good too. The Ko's all seem like a pretty tightly knit bunch so all the hours they spend on the table together or discussing tactics really help all of them. But ye, a...

google says you should google it

Every OP post after original massively confusing one....

Ye big swing and a miss on attempted humor, but what I really wanted to comment on was that you are a 10-12cap. Wow. I mean after a near miss car wreck, any day is a good day, especially one on the golf course. But to play better than the average golfer who carries a handicap is borderline...

This. Thread over. Must aim while up so you get into your setup with proper alignment. While down, micro adjustments only. If you feel you have to adjust to the point of moving body parts around, get up and start over.

A young Corey Deuel said something similar in an interview. When asked about his amazing form as world #1 he said it came down to an absence on bad thoughts, bc what you think usually happens at this level so you just can't get down till they're long gone. As for how to learn to do this. It...

This. Low outside off the first diamond just loves the opposite side pocket. You just have to set up these shots and find the tip position that works for you and your stroke. After you get it down from one position, move the OB around a lil bit and see how you need to adjust to develop a...

Ever take a walk in the rain and get wet?

Do you play from a high stance? Seeing the angles gets a bit harder as distance increases. Even back in the day when most players played with their heads much higher off the cue, many of them got into lower stances as shots got long. Worth a try to get a bit lower if comfortable. I have a...

I'm the opposite. Won a beautiful front-weighted cue and had to sell it off because it just never felt right for me. Then there are guys like Alex Pagulayan, who uses a more back-weighted cue for 9ball and a steel jointed, front-weighted cue for one pocket.

Before the Taom days, I never played with anything but fresh chalk, so ye, I would hoard new cubes when I came across them and then leave a slightly worn in one in its place. Mostly played 2 pool halls and they had different wraps on their masters cubes so the chalks ended up where they...

One exercise you can try for smooth acceleration is to hit simple shots jacked up. The cue will want to fall with gravity and at first you just pull it back, stay still, and let it fall to stroke completion. I'm not saying collapse the arm and get wild, but just get in your setup, leave your...

Yes, to get a specific outcome all variables need to be the same. But on this shot, with a large window for acceptable position on the 8, we can get a good outcome in a variety of ways. We're not all Chin Shun Yang, slamming his chalk down in frustration over what most would consider perfect...
