I have been breaking from the left rail now for about 3 weeks, and I hit a little bottom with no english. Note that I don't hit it hard, just medium spead. The cue ball comes back to the middle of the rail and bounces out toward the middle of the table. The one either goes in the side or ends...

Were they Spanish? A Spanish friend of mine went to New York and said that all the Spanish players stand around the pool table while you are shooting. To them this is normal. I guess they couldn't wait to shoot :D.

It takes a lot of guts to admit this - all of us have had this problem at one time or other. But, if you are the money player you say you are, you should have gotten over this. Or, if having played many competitive matches, you would also have gotten over this. Like my motto says (from Clint...

From the mouths of babes comes the real truth sometimes. Why don't you have AZBilliards give us all a test for pool knowledge so we can become certified to discuss aiming methods?! Why do you have to be qualified to state an opinion, or save someone? If you like to discuss how many angels can...

I promised not to save people anymore on aiming threads - can't your read? :D

Boy oh boy - someone get out the shovel.

BTW, I am done trying to save people from aiming threads. Fred, again your outstanding logic makes me laugh - and you need to learn how to think and read. What you are saying, and I don't need a counselor to figure this out, is that anyone who is a naysayer of aiming methods and who has...

Why do you have to have credentials to discuss aiming? BTW, what pros use all of these aiming methods - FAR & FEW. And don't give me SVB method - what a joke. Like I have said - anybody who plays 8 hours a day can shoot with their eyes closed and don't need an aiming system. I have seen no...

Not true. I may go there to periodically, not to troll around, but to save people from these threads as I personally think that they are harmful to one's game. Someone has to do it - it is the humanitarian thing to do. Let me put this another way: don't you feel sorry for all of those people...

I have a new Magic Rack and I don't have this problem. The best solution for my home table was to put the clear plastic inserts down with the Slug Doctor and then fine tune their placement with the Magic Rack. Before doing this I made damn sure the rack was not tilted. Then, after placing...

Get a 'stroke trainer' and stroke a little bit every day. You will get the hang of it.

Maybe because you don't have any bargaining chips (?). :D Seriously though, I like the Brits.

I think it is better for the person winning the game to always move the coin. And to be smart about it, ANNOUNCE the score the second after you move the coin, and make sure the other player is paying attention. Some people learn by hearing vs. sight and this would help. Plus, when they nod...

Aiming topics are very much part of pool. Save yourself future headaches by just leaving them on the main forum. I for one just want to long on the the main forum and look for the 'funny paper' threads. :D If there are burried somewhere else, then I have to go look for them.

My old (2 years) Predator sneaky pete keeps coming loose after 10 or so hits. I can't stand it. I sure as hell hope the new cue doesn't do this, for what ever reason.

Funny. The real reason I believe is that normal don't like to mess around with crazy people.

NO NO NO NO NOT NOT NOT NOT. I can visualize the contact point as I have been shooting for years and I use the ghost ball method because I DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH THE EFFORT VISUALIZING THE CONTACT POINT. Early on I used to shoot by picking out the contact point and going for it. Then at the...

Nobody will break that record, officially, unless they go find a table with huge pockets like Mosconi had played on. And who is going to sit there and film this? Mr. 400 filmed himself right? And this was on a tighter table.

Thanks for nothing. That doesn't explain anything. I have 2 years of physics, a minor in engineering and mathematics, a degree in economics with a good understanding of statistical error, and I am telling you I don't have to read aiming threads to KNOW that the margin of error due to squirt is...

I have 6 instroke cases, ranging from one butt 2 shafts to 3 butts 7 shafts. Like you, my old vinyl 3 butt 5 shaft case was completely worn out. The rivets had come loose at the bottom of the case (I think it must have gotten wet and rotted out). Sent it back to Instroke to see if they...
