    John Barton Thread

    I don't know John personally but here is my take on him. When I first came to this forum several years ago I thought of John as outspoken, very opinionated and somewhat jaded. But his posts had some good substance. Once I decided to look deeper I realized that John prefers a unvarnished opinion...

    Did your pool cause a problem with your partner

    It did in my first marriage, of course everything was a problem in that marriage. This go around I have learned to manage my time better. There are still issues here and there but no biggies. Robert Byrne said something in one of his books that is worth repeating here. (Paraphrasing) If you...

    Charleston, SC tournies/leagues/action

    Couldn't tell ya, but I'm sure there is someone in the area that repairs cues, check in the ask a cuemaker section. If you are looking for some attractions in Charleston I'll give you the quick rundown of my experience there. Carriage Tours- These are great if you enjoy that sort of thing. Our...

    Charleston, SC tournies/leagues/action

    I was at players place billiards in Charleston last summer. Nice enough place, lots of bar boxes and 4 9 footers iirc. Huge APA leagues 3 nights a week, but I couldn't get squat for action. Nobody wanted to play, not even for fun. I'm sure there is action in that town, I just wasn't finding any...

    DRAW STROKE: Dropping your elbow or not.

    It does work for him, but it works for him in spite of his mechanics not because of them.

    DRAW STROKE: Dropping your elbow or not.

    No offense Wiley, but I tend to shy away from the vague philosophical advice. I don't want to become the Cue Ball, it gets beat up, yelled at and has chalk all over it. Maybe that works for you, great, but it comes off a little too touchy feely for me.

    DRAW STROKE: Dropping your elbow or not.

    I haven't caught all of this discussion but I took notice when you posted this. A lot of the reason that some pitchers can throw at a higher velocity and for a longer duration has to do with their bio-mechanics. How long or short their tendons are, how strong they are and how quickly they...

    DRAW STROKE: Dropping your elbow or not.

    I say if it works for you and you are happy with it, then keep doing it that way. Best of rolls to you JoeyA.

    Can I put a 9 ft table in this room?

    Yeah, I have a 13.5 foot wide room for a 8 foot table and I really need more space. Your going to find that a 7 foot table will be very tight in that space.

    DRAW STROKE: Dropping your elbow or not.

    If my stance is correct and I have addressed the cue ball properly I have found that there is no need to drop the elbow. I can accelerate through the shot, follow through, and finish with my elbow still in the correct position. If I notice my elbow dropping it is usually a sign that I did...

    I'm not taking side nor do I really care but wasn't it you that I saw that started a thread this morning about how you weren't going to talk to JB anymore? That seems to have lasted all of 4 hours!
