The odds that Earl really did run 15 racks in a row without the benefit of a stacked rack......7,000,000:1

statistical illusions I think that when the statistics were run, it would have been based on a random rack. I would highly suspect that if Earl really did run all those racks, it was likely that the rack was set in a specific or fairly similar order every time and that the order lent itself...

What did you use to draw your diagram with text and lines? I like the drawing.

evolution? The truth is......pool cues have been evolving for years. Not always in a positive direction but new approaches are introduced on a regular basis. Cues have been constructed from non-traditional materials like aluminum and graphite just to name a couple and we all know about LD...

I think it's intresting how our perceptions of ourselves are often quite different than the way others perceive us. Since most people view themselves as being above average or smarter than the average person, it becomes very easy to have a skewed perspective when we see others performing at a...

Gettng to "A" If indeed your goal is to get to an "A" status in as short a period of time as possible, then it would be foolish to try and figure it out on your own. Trying to figure things out, on your own, is typically the longest distance between to points. If you don't want to take...

systems I think that even if a system becomes programmed to the point that it operates on a subconscious level....it is still a system. The brain is still moving through a series of programmed steps to achieve a desired result. The fact that we no longer recognize the system in use does not...

Who acts first The winner should always extent a gesture of acknowledgement first! Whether it's a hand shake, a nod or some other acknowledgement. The reason for this is that the loser is at a disadvantage....all eyes and attention are on the winner and the responsibility is upon him to...

Was this poll taken by men who post on this website or was it exclusive to women in the Phillipines?

Is a Rembrandt worth $20,000,000.00? Is a diamond really worth thousands of dollars per karat? Go to Tiffany's jewlers and then go to a local pawn shop and and you'll realize the value of a diamond is often relative to the name on the box it comes in. We all operate on illusions of value and...

Your problem is most likely an alignment issue. Let's assume that your vision and sighting abilitiy is consistent and your fundamentals and muscle memory in executing the shot are also consistent. Then what's likely happening is that your alignment routine is inconsistent or non-existent. If...

I think it boils down to the nature of your friendship. If this is just a guy you shoot pool with ocassionally for a few bucks, then your request was not unreasonable. On the other hand, if this is someone that you consider a close friend and you spend time doing things other than pool....then...

Fran ..Original post......."I thought it was a great idea that there was a place that players can go to ask instructors questions. That's not the case here anymore. Apparently anyone can answer questions, and they do." "What's up with that?" You can spin the debate in any direction you like...

ChicagoRJ stated......"Yes, Harvard should be very embarrassed indeed, cause my 13 year old son is smarter than the current POTUS cause he would NOT have allowed so many failed policies to be put in place, drive the economy into the ground, and my son can give a presentation without a...

Let's not ignore one of the most obvious reasons why we should not exclude non-certified players from offering advice.......Many "instructors" are compensated for their advice and are not always eager to give info. away for free. I've been to an other website where the instructor elected not to...

I used to visited a website where you had to have some type of certification in order to prove you had the qualifications to respond to questios in the "Ask the instructor" section. It was a complete catastrophe! Few "instructors" ever responded and quite frankly, many of their responses were...

kaver22 if you are only getting a 20% return rate on the full length of the table, then your stroke is most likely the core of the problem. Iron out your issues in this area and those straight-in shots will become much easier.

straight-in issues Before you do anything, check the accuracy of your stroke. If you are right handed and your stroke is impure, there is a tendency to follow through slightly to the left which will cause the object ball to go to the right. I would venture to say that most issues of this...

Can you tell me what computer program you used to apply lines to the photographs?
