Back on topic please.

From some things I've read on the Internet (so it must be true) humans have a natural cadence like a comfortable walking pace ingrained in their brains. Should you model your stroke to this cadence? It's around a second back stroke, a second forward stroke. The speed of the shot is controlled...

I've played my whole life with my old faithful McDermott with the prominent shamrock rubber bumper. Takes me about 3 years to wear off the shamrock. McDermott replaces the bumper when I send it in for a full cleaning. I bounce the butt off the floor a lot when playing and chalk by holding...

In golf putting an accepted technique is to always have the same tempo when you putt (let's say 1.0 second backstroke and 0.5 second up stroke, total 1.5 seconds). On a longer putt you draw the putter back further, but maintain the same 1.0/0.5/1.5 tempo. Ball's hit further since the putter's...

I ran across some statistic that the average US golfer spends $2400/year on his game. Thought this was pretty high, but after all golf's a bit of an elite game. But then I realized I spend nearly $50/week playing pool (granted, I play in a couple leagues year round). How much do you spend?

Know any good 3-person games that keep everyone involved.

I get pissed at myself sometimes - how can that ignorant douche have beaten me? Need to put the ego away, the guy that plays better on that day usually wins. Be the better player.

I'm proud to say I'd played George a number of times at a handicapped 14.1 league at RedShoes in Chicago. He was very intimidating and clearly a fierce competitor, he really took charge. When I played him I think he was playing for love of the game and didn't hesitate to share little tibits...

Opponent that chalks up after missing before sitting down. Opponent you've just beaten who wants demonstrate his reverse english ghostball technique for never miss two cushion banks. And casually informs you that there's really no such thing as cue ball induced throw.

Here's a couple almost identical 45 degree cuts. The back cut looks way harder, my feel is because you don't have the short rail to gauge your aim against.

You can get it from the Downloads page of QMD website (www.cue-md.com). The app's setup for a standard 9' pool table, so the pocket sizes, distances, etc. won't be right for snooker but the angles will be.

It's about 48 degrees according to the pool shot analyzer app.

Once down hit the same spot on your chest with the side of your wrist to finish the shot (aka the pendulum) and the stroke is straight. Not much more to think about except hoping you lined up right. Hmmm, maybe the speed too.

Skippy, About your QMD unit, contact the help desk - info<at>cue-md.com. Your issues aren't normal. Maybe your unit got banged around a bit and needs re-calibration.

If you want to go high tech you can look into QMD (www.cue-md.com). It'll help you develop a consistent straight stroke, and that's what a good stroke starts with.

Sorry, no suggestion. Had a package from Hong Kong earlier this year that sat at Chicago O'Hare customs for about 3 weeks. Couldn't find anyone to contact about it, I think that's just the way it is.

I've watched world champion pros warm-up by slamming shots into the corners to see how the pockets' playing and slow rolling long cuts to see how they're throwing. You need to adjust to what you're going to play with. I prefer Centennials and red circles because that's what I usually play...

A bit off topic, but not much... I hardly ever play the lottery but I happened to be at the store and the pot was a gazillion or so. So I walk up to the counter behind another person and the cashier asks me to step back. I asked why, she says "so you don't see the other customer's numbers".....
