Thorsten has a video somewhere of him running out a rail drill with a head mounted camera on. it's interesting to see it from a pro's point of view and very helpful in seeing how to align the shot using different spins.

Congrats! If I remember right, my first break and run on a 9-foot came during a hill-hill 9-ball match. They're few and far between, but it's a nice reminder of how rewarding hard work can be.

I skipped all the other posts, so forgive me if I repeat something that's already been said. I personally try to stay away from gambling. You seem to enjoy practice as much as I do, all that's left is to find a good, competitive league. I think there are BCAPL branches in Canada, you'll have to...

Bet he felt that one when he sobered up. Anyways, I skimmed through the responses to my earlier comment, nothing really worth replying back to. Sorry it took me so long to get back on here, it's funny how I never have time to go on AZ when I'm playing pool and working on my game. Good night...

Wow, this forum is full of bitter old men. Too bad we have to wait at least another 10 years for some of you buzzards to die off. My advice to Sam, just enjoy the game. To be honest, it's not worth it to become a pro. Just ask one. I personally get the greatest enjoyment from practicing...

For me, it's always been the challenge of being better than the guy I was yesterday, a month ago, a year ago, etc. I always ask myself, if I were to play me from a year ago, how would I do? Another thing that drives me is that I hate missing. It bothers me when I know I can do something and...

Maybe it was just a bad tip, but I felt like the Zan tip I tried on my cue actually added to the deflection. Something about it definitely altered the way I had to aim my shots.

I haven't tried this yet, but what about placing your cue on top of a bridge? just put the cue in the bridge/rest and lower your chin to the cue so that you can't see the bridge underneath.

in case anyone missed it... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIuCMS6UEiY Jorge is definitely one of the big names in NYC pool, I've watched him play several famous pros and come out on top. While I lack the fundage to support (unless I win the Megabucks playoffs this and next weekend), I can...

Big Ko will dethrone Shane in the finals. Fanboy tears everywhere. There's also the $11k added event at Gotham City Billiards the weekend of 10/17. Lots of big names playing in that one, 16 freshly re-clothed Diamond Pro-Ams. There will also be a live stream, I believe by upstate Al.

another thing... no 2 players have the same stroke, either. I've seen my cue behave completely differently in the hands of other players, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who's experienced this.

Hasn't Boyes been a part-time pool player the last couple years? And he still has the audacity to hop in the booth and talk smack about players that would run him over now?

I also like Ki-tech tips. I've tried the ultraskins, Kamuis, Tiger, Zan, etc. I prefer Ki-tech. Therefore I will continue to play with them. I encourage the rest of you to play with what works for you. As far as spin application, I don't understand why people use so much sidespin. Learn to...

Oh, good. So that means you'll be competing, since you have a chance of winning. Provide us with updates. Looking forward to it and good shooting! I'm still trying to win an amateur tournament.

Don't you know that tournament pool isn't real pool? That drunk guy at the corner bar taking on all comers is the real champion. Money talks and that guy's getting everyone's cheese. Long after the buzzards of AZB have finally died off, we'll still be talking about the guy who always won the...

I hope Ko dethrones Shane in the finals of the US Open.

AZB forums... the grumpy old men of pool.

especially for my dear friends on here.

been wanting to do this one for a while.

Don't you bitter old men have anything better to do?
