I was just helping someone with this shot last night. This is what I told the player and it did help them, maybe it will help you too. Two things are important 1. relaxed 2. straight stroke Relaxed Make yourself feel the weight of your body on both feet. This does not mean you are leaning...

I agree, the feel is how you strike the CB and only that part. I can not see anyone playing this game without a system, at least of some sort. Doesn't matter whose, but a sytem is needed or otherwise foget making shots consitantly. I like what J. Lee has to say. She trains herself each day...

While I agree with you that many look for a magical way of improving, I must disagree regarding systems. There are many systems and some are just better than others based on the individual. In my sons case at age 9, I just had him hit OB balls to the pocket w/o the CB. While he is doing this...

IMO, no secret is as good as pure love for the game. A great artists is not great because of other's secrets. They found their own through the pleasure of their work and looked to others along the way for advice. My guess is that pool fits here too. Lots of resources from many here and lots of...

23 is my pick

Playing in lots of tournaments clearly helps improve the players game. Gambling also adds value in dealing with pressure. I'm not advocating gambling but to many it does add excitement and it is an individual thing. I have seen many players fold when they gamble and others heighten their...

I played last night and found myself cutting thin ones a bit different based in amount of cut (IE fanning I use IS english) Also what makes the difference is the distance from the OB, how far OB is off the rail and just plain position. So to revise this I guess I must say, just do not know...

I have played in two different leagues in the past which both handicapped differently. 1. used a Pro, A. B , C and D player groupings. I liked the way this one was set up because of less paperwork. Examples; Pro plays an A the game is 150 to 100 A plays a B the game is 125 to 100 You can...

For me; If it is the last ball on the table to play, then OS English (that is unless OS is needed anyway for position) I play each shot with these mental thoughts - If IE is used the tendency is to ht the OB ball fuller, Top English may tend to throw the ball a little even on a thin cut. Low...

Congratulations and great focus on your plan.

Either use Mr. Clean Magic Eraser or send it to a Cuesmith and they will clean on a lathe (abrasives) and re-seal.

Thanks Fred and Colin. It is hard to figure out sitting at my computer what differences might be in my stroke. The real problem is that we incorporate different shots to achieve the following (it is almost like you have to be in front of the shot); 1. Enable CB curve 2. do not enable CB curve...

Nice video, thanks I have found that BHE sort of just fit into my game some time ago, intuitive. However, after watching your video I noticed that you actually align in advance with the intention of using BHE. Was this just for demontration? I do know that I align all shots normally and then...

I would play it middle left english to hit bottom rail. Two rail and maybe the a third depending how hard you play it. Must spin the ball and speed is almost no factor this way. Lots of room for error and still have a super easy shot on the 9

I do think more coverage would help, but with payouts like this it will catch on quick. It can only go so long before most find out winnings and it is winnings that help turn on spectators.

Maybe next tournament they can posts matches in progress games in orge of something. This way we can see it as it happens

Nice post. I agree with you, this event built excitement at an incredibly high level. I do believe the newness of this organization has surprised me with such tremendous well thought out structure. It is very easy to sit back and to criticize. I could not imagine the levels of details that we...

Congratulations on your new son..

Much more realistic. Still a very high percentage considering equipment.

Very tough tables too. 8 ball or 9 ball will yield fewer runs on these I would imagine. Imagine the 8 ball runs if on a standard Brunswick with 860.
