Sure. I frequently played no-wager 9-ball at Hard Times with brother James Woods. That wasn't his real name but he liked to be called by that name. He once had me pretty well snookered with 7 or 8 balls still left on the table. Although I didn't make the ball, I did make a good 4-rail kick hit...

My goal is to make this straight in shot at least a minimum of 25 times in a row consistently. The following video is my attempt to make this cut shot once again. I previously posted two videos where I made it 3 times in a row twice. My short term goal is to make it 6 times in a row. And my...

It was around 1969 or so. There used to be a pool newspaper. It might have been called Billiard News or something. The pages were like half the size of a regular newspaper. It would arrive about once a week or twice a month or so at the poolhall. I'd look at it occasionally. If I...

On this free video hosting website, the videos only last 24 hours and are limited to 250MB and 10 minutes in length. One of my posted videos demonstrated my ability at the time to make a rather long straight in shot. In the video I made shot only 8 times in a row. That was last Tuesday, about...

If you don't mind telling us, what name did you play under? Maybe we can find a video of you so we can get an idea of your pocket billiards abilities. Thanks.

Well, that's a strong claim you're making with no plausible evidence whatsoever offered to support it. Let me say that I sat right next to Bob in the stands along side of table 9 and table 10 at Hard Times Bellflower. He told me that firsthand story. He said he was there and witnessed it with...

You might like this thread I posted some time ago. you can search for it here on AZB. i checked. it's still there waiting for you. Search for, Cole Dickson vs. Richie Florence

Speaking of the Accu-Stats Luat vs Dickson one-pocket match ,Cole was responsible for Luat having that final match winning shot. Even if you never heard of Cole Dickson, just from watching that video, you know Cole had excellent cue ball control and consistently placed it with impeccable...

Does pool get under your skin? "He tasks me. He tasks me and I shall have him. I'll chase him 'round the moons of Nibia and 'round the Antares Maelstrom and 'round perdition's flames before I give him up! " Khan in the movie, The Wrath of Khan.

Just noticed another slip stroke at 46:08 where Cole shoots the 5-ball.

Cole Dickson: Livin' large off the fat of the land, already a seasoned road player at 18. I think it is almost like a miracle that we can actually see a decent quality video of the Luat vs. Dickson One-Pocket match from Accu-Stats. I don't think there is any other really good quality video of...

Did you know that if you go out on a rainy stormy night you could also be struck by lightning? I'll be back in a week or so then we'll see if I have something worthy of further discussion. Later...

Seem like you must have gone right to the videos. You can see above that I did say: "I'm still moving around when I shoot my stroke is not straight most often and my stroke is not smooth I can fix these" I'm well aware. I'll be back in a week or sooner. We may have more to discuss then...

I'm not sure what you mean by "range." Straight in shot: The cue ball is placed about 2 diamonds from the rail I'm shooting from. And the object ball is about 3 rails from the pocket and anywhere from 1-2 diamonds from the side rail. Long cut shot: The object ball is 1 ball width from the rail...

I'm currently dealing with this personally with my pool game. It's called discipline. But I'm making remarkable progress. Check out my progress in the videos I just posted Find links in this thread: "Champion/Pro or Shortstop/Amateur/Banger. It's your choice."

Again, if I wasn't clear or you just didn't get it, I am not trying to make a particular shot I am trying to learn a process, a technique, a step by step roadmap I am trying to master the game for now, at least, master making 95+% of the shots anyone can be taught this the hard part is the...

What was the thinking? L.A. County and Orange County are big places with lots of people. With no alcohol and no kitchen, why Bellflower, of all places?

Chasing that Pool 'Jones' Some guys don't get it. Pool doesn't do it for them. But we get it. We know why. We feel it. And that's enough. Why do you shoot when you shouldn't shoot? It is the reward you are anticipating if you make the shot. It's that dopamine rush that you're going to get...

From the age of 15 - 18 I probably played not more than 100 hours because I was always broke. from 71 - 75 I probably played no more than 20 hours. from 75 - 2013 probably 100 hours. from 2013 to 2022 probably 2000 hours mostly at Hard Times. but in all cases, I was little more than a...

Here are two more videos. (actually these expire in 24 hours. I'll use a better camera angle next time.) The shot: straight in. Cue ball 1.5 diamonds off foot rail. Object ball 3 diamonds from pocket. I could have posted 5 more but they wouldn't have enlightened you any more than these...
