Thanks for posting. I'll have to check out Colin's other media.. Don't know where it was played though..

For cleaning, MR. Clean Magic eraser is the most effective and safest method for cleaning a cue shaft. I think billiard retailers should buy bulk and resell for players convenience. Until you've tried it, your just missing out. The cleaner in SlipStic Conditioner-Cleaner is a puroflorinated...

There are two ways to play this shot; 1. with middle left To practice it try bringing the CB along the same line but much closer to the OB. Once you get the idea, they go back to the original spot and try it. It is a stroke shot. You need the CB to deflect away from the OB after contact as...

That is great. I find that my stoke is much improved on nappy cloth and as a result shots seem much easier. What I find different is that my position play is different at times than on faster cloth because I'm hitting the ball a little firmer which changes the path. In any event it is fun...

The best oils are those from your hands. There is no question that alcohol will dry out the wood, suck out the cuesmith sealers and oils captured from your hands. These oils are what enables the wood to become strong and inhibit warping. With that said it's like anything else, most may never...

Alcohol will dry out the wood sucking out protective oils. And yes, just as you stated, most the stuff you put on your cue will get gummed up which is why players are always screwing around with their cue shaft. If you are looking for the best cheap solution here it is.. To clean the shaft...

When I use inside english I am minimizing throw, when I use outsided I am maximizing throw. It just works and the effects are generally based upon feel of playing conditions - how the last shot moved. Speed will also minimize and again this changes by playing conditions as well. However, most...

I couldn't agree with you more. I say all should be call ball.

I've heard and seen this before, it is referred to as the nine ball getting into a track. Many times after cleaning the table with a vacuum, this does go away.

I'm not sure if anyone else noticed this but if it seems that you can only see 14/15ths of the ball you can shoot it anyway. Seems like an illusion. It has always worked for me.

Yes in straight pool this shot is often used except we play to the part of the pocket that yeilds the straightest shot, draw the CB to stop (Kills it) and curve the CB with a normal stroke. I've seen many players say they threw the ball when in fact the result was achieved by curve. Watch when...

Curve would have more effect than throw and you hit it with the amount varying to the point you do not count on it. If we stabilize so curve does not exist on a dead center straight line impact, the CB and OB will not part the from a straight path. In outer space in a fictionless environment...

It would be OK to just say left or as in another thread stated "9 oclock".

I like both. Gregg and CEEBEE's points combined make it clear. . . .

I think this is what evolves into some miss-leading posts. Some say, as I do, if hitting draw with no English that you are not hitting center in fact low or how low is being expressed. Some say low is not an "English", rather left and right are and I agree. This in itself is confusing to many...

I doubt any player would want to re-qualify next year so my guess is they are all trying to win and to play their best.

Since I first noticed this topic pop up a year ago I have paid special attention to players eyes. I have yet to see a player who does not focus on the OB last, Efrin included. The only exceptions I've ever seen have been on shots where making the OB was a low percent and I.E. the CB required a...

Just saw the article in SI and it really hit me. The Miz did quite a bit for billiards. Thanks Miz....

Wow, that is great Bill. I really enjoy your many photos. Pete

It does, near zero throw. Think of it this way; If the roads partially wet and (without anti-lock) you will skid before you stop, dry-wet-dry-wet. The real trick with wetting the ball are when 2 balls are touching, not colliding. The CB contacting the OB happens not like a swinging pendulum...
