Mental Bloopers Two things for you to consider: First monitor what you are saying to yourself--stupid, missing easy shots, shoulda, etc. Bad mouthing yourself is like stomach punches to a fighter. You fall down around the eighth round. Say stop, cancel, or turn the volume down on those...

One ball Here is a game I use at parties and for kids as well as adults. Put one ball in the middle of the end rail. Breaker shoots the first shot from behind the line. If the breaker makes the ball, game over and next player up. Loser goes to the end of the list. Any scratch or foul gives...

Object Ball gaining weight The harder you hit the cue ball with high or low, the further the cue ball travels down the stun line before the high or low takes effect. Old timers explained this by saying the object ball seems heavier the harder you hit the cue ball because the cue ball travels...

Julian's I used to play there as far back as the 60's. Played Jimmy Burke lots of $5 eight ball a long time ago. I knew George Mikula from Chelsea Billiards. He was the best at going off one rail for position. George taught me the 3 rail spot on the wall system. Very sad when he died. His...

7' or 9' Why not both? Just saying!

Best party game for non players Hi, I do a lot of corporate events/parties and this is the game I play. It is called one ball. Spot the one ball or any ball for that matter in the middle of the end rail. Breaker shoots from the kitchen. If they make the ball, they win. Next player up...

Gold Crown III TDF My table is a 9' Gold Crown III from a pool room. TDF = .936 TSF = 1.00 PSF = 5 1/8 0.90 PAF = 5 1/8 - 4 1/4 =7/8 1.04 PLF = 1 1/2 1.00 TDF = 1.00 x 0.90 x 1.04 x 1.00 = .936 Compared to the...

Glasses to Contacts I switched from Pool Glasses (heavy coke bottles) to contacts (optimized for 3 to 12 feet) and I'm really glad I did! For about a month I was seeing everything a half ball to the left, but I see the shots better, get down easier and don't have this weight hanging on my...

Jacoby Hybrid I use one and really like how it plays. Nice sound, sweet hit! Highly recommended!

Old Pool Pictures Great Pictures! Thank you Bob.:smile:

Puzzle 4327658 A slight draw from the 4 gets you on the 3. Stop 3 and get straight on 2. Stop on 2 gives a slight angle on 1 up table. Taking the 1 off gives a little angle on the 7. Two rails off seven to get close to the 6. Roll 6 in side and you fall on the 5 for the corner. Stop and you...

Dead Shot I like going straight into the 3. The 6 goes off the 12 and the 4 looks dead in the side pocket. It looks like the path will be clear for the 4.

Drills for Kids I have 3 students between the ages of 6 and 8 right now. Here is a sample of the things we work on. Along the end rail we roll in the object ball and try to have the cue ball follow it in. If they are successful, I move the balls back a ways like a progressive drill and do...
