Can't argue with that.

Yes. "sending a message to serious players." Smug? How so? A serious player by definition is serious. This is serious advice. This is serious advice for serious players. This is serious advice for serious players who want to get even more serious. Seriously.

Sounds good.

Of course it reads like a statement. It is the original post that got the thread started.

Many of the commentators on Accu-Stats videos recommend that if you can't get shape on the next ball, play shape to play a safety.

Why don't you come up with something intelligent on your own we can all benefit from. Instead of attempting to throw a plate of spaghetti up against the wall and see if something sticks.

I met a guy who was from Greece. He was about 60 or so. You could see that age was catching up with him. Well, we were talking world affairs or something. And if that wasn't bad enough, I went and brought up religion. I said that Jesus said, "Forgive them, for they know not what they do."...

I only said that if you can't do these 5 essential things, you should consider hanging it up. I am just pointing out what is needed to succeed so you can think about it. And that the tasks to succeed are staring you right in the face. And your solutions to accomplish them are right in front of...

Oh, well. That was a big tournament around '76-'77. Kim taught me a good lesson. And Sax's biting comment did as well. Thanks.

You know better. This site and forum is all about Pool, in particular. Your post didn't say that, in contrast, it was the best advice you ever got. It could only be construed as just a statement of your own particular point of view. Okay. Fine. If your post / statement is what your point of...

I've thought about what you just posted. And I'm sure others have, as well. I think you should think about it, again, too.

When you post it would be nice to know if you are replying to another comment. Otherwise there is no additional context. But I'd say most people do care. From the railbirds to your opponent and backers and side bettors. You can be psychologically undermined if you are thin skinned or easily...

It was a long time ago. Let me describe the inside. When you walked in, on the right and left were regulation pool tables. I'd say at least 5 on each side. The foot or head of the tables were toward the walls. And there was an isle down the center of the room. The real peculiar thing I...

Does anyone remember Barbara Billingsley, the actor who played June Cleaver on Leave It to Beaver as the Beve's mother? She played the "Jive Lady" in the 1980 movie Airplane who says, "Oh, stewardess, I speak jive!" I laughed my ass off back then when I first saw that scene. Anyway, is there...

I don't know what you are talking about. I quoted, "You compete like you practice." I don't know where you came up with, "play like you practice"? The quote I posted is self explanatory. You can take it of leave it.

"If you've heard it once, you've heard it a thousand times." "You compete like you practice." Developing the skill to shoot center of pocket allows you to shoot anywhere in the pocket at will. It helps you quickly get in stroke and stay in stroke. But most importantly, there is a reason all the...

It was nice to find your intelligent and insightful post when I woke up this morning. I can imagine a boxing coach. He's trained maybe a hundred fighters. After scores get the crap beat out of them to the point where they quit because they can't take the punishment or injured, there is this...

I mentioned this, I think at least twice before. I was at a tournament in, I think it was at Town and Country Billiards in Daly City just off El Camino Real, around '76. Tony Annigoni played out of there. "And a big welcome to Kim Davenport. An up and coming player out of Modesto." I asked...

Reality sucks, don't it?

If your trainer has flaws in his stroke, how can you expect him to solve your stroke problems? If he can't run racks, how can you expect him to teach you how to? Etc. Better find out.
