    Not a pool room but a Billiards men's club.

    i hope it doesn't rain where this club is to be located otherwise a bunch of your members might drown. what do u think the old timers would think of your member's only idea? to be a true pool room, the room must be open to the public. u know the old line ... i'll take on all comers ..." u would...

    talk about getting flamed ... it is all relative. once u think u have mastered a game then u need to start playing tuffer competition. the hard part about playing pool is not any particular game because u make balls, play safeties or not, use strategies and such, and according to your style of...

    n00b questions about 9-ball breaks

    Breaking hard, making a ball in, and having to sit because you got some funny kisses on the table to prevent 3 balls from going in or reaching the string is dumb. i thought that these elements were the charm of 9 ball? a game that offers the chance for anyone to win given they make the 9 more...

I started out banking every ball. as she improved the spot went to banking the last 2 balls including the eight. then it went to banking 8 in last pocket. then last pocket for last 2 balls incuding 8 and so forth. she cracks on me that she...

    Things that will get your thumbs broken

    same rules apply for pool players and those that don't play pool: being a d#@k in general may not get your thumbs cracked but it raises the odds of someone smacking you upside your head. not paying debts or firing blanks might result in worse than your thumbs being broken.

    If you foul, but your opponent doesn't see it, should you call it on yourself?

    the pool room where i learned to play one hole taught everyone who played the game to always make the opponent call the foul or if you owed a ball or balls and were never told to spot the balls then that was perfectly ok and this conduct was encouraged and those that voluntarially called fouls...

    Practice vs play

    when i was getting plenty of action i still tried to practice about an hour a day, but realistically i would be lucky to have only a couple days to practice for an hour each of those days. these practice sessions would be intense and i would probably only work on 2-3 elements of my game, but i...

    What does the "orange crush" mean in handicapping?

    really? it is a hefty spot, but it's like anything else when playing a world beater, you might as well be playing them even, because the end result will be your wallet being slimmer. if you win then u will be the next world beater, and that is a heavy load because everyone will want the orange...

    Hitting softly but still 'firmly'?

    in my opinion u maybe trying to over compensate from being a banger and someone who plays pocket speed. maybe your makeup is not condusive to a soft stroke. I have played many a player who didn't possess the "soft stroke", but they could still hand you your hat. I do possess the "soft stroke"...

    is it the alcohol or your state of mind ? kinda long

    used to play a guy 10 years ago, who almost always drunk, he never stops talking during my shots, he made the environment so uncomfortable where he ends up winning and eventually got barred from entering the pool hall. barred for talking? wow that's unreal.

    Smoke in my Pool Case

    u would think a cue case at a pawn shop would smell like smoke even if the pawn shop workers didn't smoke since most pool rooms used to and still allow smoking. $10? u sure expect alot for your money?

    Who was the one pool player that you learned the most from watching them play?

    tommy "buttermilk" brown (deceased) from paris, tn; no not the one in daytona beach. he didn't offer much advice but when he did, i listened. he played with an old house cue and took it with him everywhere he went. he was the first guy that taught me the power of keeping your opponent in his...

    What kind of pool thread do the pool players on AZB like to read?

    except for improvements in tech (diagrams and pictures) as mentioned in the first post, then change nothing. keep it real and don't inject anything that inhibits the spontanaety (sic) that this forum currently possesses.

    They say this game is 90%.half mental?

    i think most every player knows what you are talking about, but u forgot to mention what happens next. sooner or later the fundmentals come into play and the lack of practice time raises its ugly head. u can't run 3 balls if your life depended on it. if there is a way to mess it up; u will find...
