So wise words full of iron- so damn well chosen words Fran :-) wish you a merry christmas my dear- take care :-)

The key is to not change "the pressure" during the stroke. Of course you can observe/see it in many cases, if a player does it- but for sure it s not easy to determine.

1.) Knowing what rules will come up- break rules very important! Tapped? what kind of racks? - then practicing ofc also the brea :-) 2.) Not sure how *hard you re in the competition circus"- so if you enter big tournaments to end in the high rankings (win?), you also have to earn mental...

Agree 100% I enjoyed especially that match between David and Jeremy extremley. Every who s a bit knowledged knows anyway how much knowledge Jeremy Jones has- and what hell of a player he was/is. This set was worth every second. Even if on the first two days a few *funny misses" appeared- and...

Hi Dan, it s a pdf file with several "typical End patterns". Someone posted here on AZB longer ago. Imo helpful for beginners, or people who just start with straight pool. I just clicked myself on the link- and yes- the correct file opened.

This here is a "good rule drawing" for several end patterns. Imo just by understanding the benefit how it s show here brings you a big step forward. https://forums.azbilliards.com/attachments/tomkollinsbreakshots-pdf.171989/

See your point, too- ofc. My words towards Fatboy was 100% about its sense- and i liked it a lot. but now to topic :-) : No responsibility- aka the typical pool player who s searching nonstop excuses. technical: the list would be far too long. and you cannot blame someone, who never...

Tap Tap Tap Wise heavy words full of iron my friend- Take care Eric :-)

It is tough to understand these APA rules just from reading sometimes. Could someone maybe try to explain me in a "short version"`? We here just know "different"* leagues. IIRC wie have about 11-12 leagues here in germany. From the lowest up to the 1st league. we just have team of 4 players---...

Of course most shots can be done with an open bridge- i just recommend sometimes on extreme shots where you ll hit the cueball far outside to use a closed bridge. But yes- if you have an excellent stroke without any flaws, the open bridge does his job of course, too. As you have shown up Dave...

Dan was one of the nicest human i ever met- I met him here in germany, when he supported a local cuemaker in Düsseldorf. At that time i overtook my first "custom cue" - and Dan made it so unbelievable special...... he was a treasure of knowledge- and furthermore a wonderful human. I often think...

It s a gem!!

a "must read" if you plan to seriously "learn to play banks". Insightful stuff inside. Worth every penny.

Well buddy- I ve seen some "shots" from you and you re for sure one of these guys who love to underrated themselves, "grin" :-) Furthermore i m pretty sure, that some ppl would wonder a bit, "how" you shoot and how you aim :-) Pretty knowledged guy, that "little 8pack" :-) and a f...in strong...

Rythm is something, which is so underrated- and imo from my expirience also something which haven t been reached by an extremley big amount of players. Of course everyone "trying" to emulate at the very beginning someone. But you have to find YOUR own rythm- what works for you. If you re not...

At the Thread-Opener: "Thinking body- Dancing mind" Still a "must read"- not *pool only*- imo one of he best books i ve ever read.

Your "idea" is sure not stupid :-) But... The idea for a breakin cue is, (should be, better said), to be a bit more efficient. For example that a better energy transfer would help to get a better result by using the same break speed. And of course, to not "ruin" your tip of your playing...

LOL :-) one of my favourite sentences during lessons :-p

i m pretty sure, that a very big amount of "silent readers" have the necessary knowledge. The most just keep nowadays away from posting or responding themselves because of "some stupid cyber wars". I kept myself also away for a longer time. It s anyway hard to understand ( ofc just for me :-) )...
