    Frustrated with my own slow play in 8 ball

    I think one of things I struggle with is when the balls are pretty clustered on a 7 ft table. And I am pondering what to do at the table. Attempt a run out? Play safe? Leave a starter ball? Block a pocket? etc. etc. But I guess I am digressing into another topic.

    Frustrated with my own slow play in 8 ball

    It's not on aiming or anything like that. Or using up a minute trying to do a Dr. Dave peace sign (I have seen this with others...I am not this badly off).

    Frustrated with my own slow play in 8 ball

    Pretty much deciding what shot to take. I tend to try go through all possible options in my head. Either other people don't do this or they do it but much faster.

    Frustrated with my own slow play in 8 ball

    These are all vital steps for me as well to play better, but I don't understand how they help me to play faster?

    Frustrated with my own slow play in 8 ball

    The funny thing is that the guy I was playing yesterday was slow and it was driving me crazy. Probably compounded by the fact I have been playing terrible as of late. So I asked my teammate if I shoot that slowly and he said yes, about the same. So then I was not only frustrated about my poor...

    Frustrated with my own slow play in 8 ball

    At a slow pace. Most importantly, where the shot I take I am 100% committed to. That's when I play my best. Unfortunately, for me, that is at a slow pace. This is particularly true for eight ball and it is not just limited to pattern play but also safety shots and strategic shots (I play on...

    Frustrated with my own slow play in 8 ball

    Can't fault that as an answer. I probably should have asked in my original post if there are methods/practice techniques one can do to practice speeding up the decision making process?

    Frustrated with my own slow play in 8 ball

    I know I am slow player and I at times ask teammates if I as slow other players I am playing against who are driving me nuts with their slow play. And unfortunately the answer is yes (sometimes it's hard to objectively tell one's own pace of play). Ugh. I don't want to be like them. Not sure...

    Best jump cue you've ever tested?

    Any thoughts on the Propel being longer at 44 inches in a two piece configuration than any other jump cue two piece setup. Do people like or dislike this about the Propel?

    Useful to choke up on cue to limit cue ball travel?

    Interesting, I wonder how hard this is to do. I'll have to give it a shot.

    Useful to choke up on cue to limit cue ball travel?

    Is it at times useful to choke up on the cue to limit cue ball travel for positional reasons? I find myself at times deaccelerating my stroke (which of course results in a lousy outcome) when trying to limit the cue ball's travel. I was thinking perhaps of shortening my bridge length...

    Do carbon shafts other than the Defy benefit from sanding?

    The slickest/smoothest carbon fiber shaft?

    Just wondering what do people believe is the slickest/smoothest carbon fiber shaft they have tried? Please only respond if you tried several different shafts (I'm trying to avoid responses where someone just gives the shaft that they bought). Thanks.

    Mini-tournaments at 2023 BCA POOL LEAGUE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

    Anyone out here been in Vegas this year for the Pool league World Championships and attempt to play in the minis? This is my first year and I must say I've been pretty disappointed in how these have been run (ie. the slowness and long lines). But I don't have previous years' experience to...

    Revo 2

    Based on the comments, it's sound like the below would be the realistic changes Predator could make... 1.) fix the sound 2.) more of a pro taper 3.) lower the diameter a bit for the middle option (a true 12.3 perhaps)
