    I agree with all of this. For me, I found that one of my flaws was rushing the shot routine. I do that sometimes due to infrequency of play. I have redoubled my efforts at completing all steps of the PSR and especially completing the stroke. Doing this reduces the likelihood that my...

    1 week until SVB vs Fedor Gorst Race to 120 August 15 to 17th

    I wagered on it, but won't watch it due to the reasons jax Joe cited. They don't think it be like it is, but it do.

    You certainly described me for sure. I did go to an instructor 15 years ago or so. That said, how can I improve at this point given my desire to remain employed and also pursue other interests outside of pool. I'm a Fargo 660 as of this writing and honestly, I'm unsure if it is possible to...

    I'm sure this has been brought up, but what are Fargo's hot, med and mild match odds again?

    My Fargorate progression

    Yeah, I have a ton of nervous energy on a good day with nothing going on. The stress of the divorce and then the self imposed stress of the tournament made for something to overcome. Very glad I proved to myself I could still do that...the experience boosted my wounded confidence. To be 47...

    Gloves

    Big second on the unglove. I shoot with it 90% of the time. It meats your "barely there" criteria for sure and absolutely gets the job done. Cueing action feels smooth as silk. I'll probably order anyone soon myself.

    My Fargorate progression

    Played in my first pool tournament in a dozen years or so on Saturday. Been pursuing other interests plus pursuing what I thought was a decent married life till sh$t got all twisted on me. Was the open division of the KY state 10 ball tournament. Played on bar boxes, which I'm not the biggest...

    'Busti'...for the WIN!!!!!!!!

    Maybe not the best ever ....but close. One of my all time faves. Certainly most fun cueing action ever. Truly explosive player. No one has to like it playing Busti, not then, not now.

    People buy this stuff?

    Really? How much do you weigh? I've seen some rather large pool players using Predator cues.... Also, Predator says "Scorpions, with their formidable claws and venomous stingers, epitomize the essence of fierce predators.". Why are you knocking the epitome of their essence? Sounds a bit...

    JB Ultímate Rugged case: a testimonial

    Holy sh$t....this is horrible! Now I'm afraid that the act of playing pool will increase friction on my hands and using them in this fashion will cause them to wear down to nubs! Great opportunity to market a new pool glove...one lined with moisturizer like the antagonist from Steinbeck's Of...

    Also, I don't do Facebook and whatnot, but my buddy sent me this last night, so you fellers can chatter about this if it pleases you.

    Rules for gorst SVB race to 120

    I watch pool I'd guess under 45 minutes a month on average, and those are free matches on YouTube. Takes me days to make it through any given match. This long race here, I'd never make it through in this lifetime. Pool world doesn't find me profitable unfortunately. Edit: now that I think...

    Do carbon fiber cue shafts make custom cues obsolete?

    So you are saying that the G-Shock might hit the G-Spot? I'm in!

    Do carbon fiber cue shafts make custom cues obsolete?

    Now I really do feel like a Luddite. I play with an old school maple shaft, plus I don't wear a watch either... not even Rolex nor an Apple watch could change my mind. Well, maybe if I found a Swatch watch like from the 80's or perhaps a sweet Casio with the calculator buttons on the face...

    Golden Fleece rumor

    Here's my take on the table size thang. I'm a 9' player, bottom line. Why is this the case given that I'm no world beater? It is because part of the fun of the game has been the perpetual quest of comparing my performance to the best players out there...those would be the pros and they play...
