Police have a hard time cleaning up a neighborhood that condones crime. Moderators will be needed less if we refuse to participate in bad threads. The really abusiveposters are weeded out pretty quickly here.

It seems that minimized wear and tear on your player's tip is gauranteed. Better breaks are probably not.

Great post, Mike! You always break ideas and methods down in a way that makes them more clear and more useful.

I have had the same problem. An older but very good player told me that you have the same opponents in practice you have in competition, yourself and the table. Pool is not like tennis. You are at the table alone. Play the way you practice but practice the way you want to play. It has changed...

I recently puschsed an OB-1 shaft with a talisman tip that i really like. It holds chalk really well. It is the first non -triangle tip that I have thought was decent. Evan then I don't think I would pay a lot for one. The moori tips on the predator shafts I have hold up like steel but don't...

I think there should be no breaks during a game. It's ten minutes or less. Make your preparations before the game and play.

If keeping time in a league was necessary a simple chess timer would be sufficient. When your turn is over you tap it and the other guy's time starts. The time is adjustable. If it times out - BIH foul. 60 seconds seems like a lot of time but would speed up some of the people I have played with.

Last night I tried checking my allignment per some earlier posts by Andrew Mannining. I seem to stand slightly more square to the shot than suggested. I adjusted accoringly and tried to keep my cue very level. My shot percentage was much higher. I will know more in a few days.

Thanks again for the help - I'm takin notes we'll see what happens.

Nearly none of the great golf "pros" / teachers are or have been world class players. They are good players but great teacers/coaches. Teachers come in all levels of skill like every occupation. The pro at my local golf course will not be giving Tiger lessons soon but he is a good teacher. I...

I pretty much intend to wear the simonis on my table out and then replace it. Break shots, jump shots and all. Don't get me wrong NOBODY abuses my table but the normal wear from a good break or jump shot is unavoidable. The break and jump shot are both different when shot on 2 thicknesses of...

Thanks, I will try to check these different suggestions and see if I can get on the right track.

Lately very firm shots are making me crazy! I do well until I get out of line and need to hit the ball very firmly to get shape on the next ball. I know the important thing is to not get out of shape and I am practising with that goal in mind. I often set up the missed shape and play it...

I don't understand the attitude of many pool players towards teachers. It seems that they are not secure enough in their skills to admit that they could be improved by coaching. Tiger Woods is constantly fine tuning his fundamentals with the help of teachers he could beat without effort. It...

He means the "back" arrow in your browser.

Get the book "banking With The Beard. It's an amazing book!

It seems to me that the rack, no matter what make or method is used is always too large a factor in the game of 9 ball. The gameis the problem,not the rack. 10 ball is probably the solution.

Jude is really bored today. He is hitting every post! You better hope yours is funny or relevant or his sharp wit will cut you like a knife!:D

These companies really need to start sorting their customers by ordering method. How many online shoppers care about paper catalogs? How many unused catalogs do they send me before the profit on my occasional order is spent. How much more could they make or how much cheaper could they sell items...

I'm slightly jealuos. I have only run about 15 full racks in my life and play like a nervous APA3 all the time. LOL But I'm improving and having fun. Good luck with your game.:D
