    Belgium the n°1 country for pool in europe

    if some think that the point of my OP was to promote the current or old federation, then i guess either my point was not clear or you understood me wrong. i have nothing to do with the federation and i'm personally not very happy about a lot of things, past and present, but i'm not here to bash...

    The most common flaw in pool fundamentals...

    colin, yes i hit almost a half tip of left side on every shot if i don't concentrate and use a long backswing. :mad: i have very very very bad basics, but i do play ok and pockets are big in pool if you aren't shooting 8ft shots. (probably my memory and aiming compensates this partially? no...

    The most common flaw in pool fundamentals...

    i've been working on it for 2 years. - i use alot of video camera material. i put the camera at the end rail, and i shoot straight shots into to camera like if i would do the lag. i also put the camera around 10inches behind my backhand straight in line of the shot to see what my wrist is...

    The most common flaw in pool fundamentals...

    The most common flaw in pool fundamentals...

    excellent post... you just mentioned one of my biggest problems in my fundamentals. I always pull the cue backwards away from my body, and then deliver the cue straight , meaning i always hit the cb to the left (almost a half tip).

    Belgium the n°1 country for pool in europe

    I'm sure that if anyone would ask you which is the current n°1 country in pool in Europe, you would never think of Belgium. Many won't even know my country. After the European championship, Belgium came ahead as the country who won the most medals, with 10 medals. 6 of them came from the...
