Elbow drop is an explosive topic. FWIW, from what I saw you're actually lifting your elbow a little on the backstroke, which means you're raising the butt of the cue and probably chopping down on the CB, which isn't ideal, as I know from hard-won experience. If you can get rid of that and stop...

Well put. For the record, the title of the youtube video is "Pool PRACTICE." I hadn't read the fine print. What four different people have been trying to tell the OP is that evaluating a stroke based on running 15 tossed-on balls isn't going to expose the flaws. Unless you're Mika or Ralf or...

Boy, sorry I answered. Was only trying to help in a friendly way. Still, good luck & Happy New Year.

You're not practicing, you're banging balls. Throwing 15 balls out on the table with no other goal than running them is easy. It would be more instructive to see how your stroke holds up when you're doing something harder - practicing 14.1 or running a rack of rotation. Your stroke looks good...

Greenwich Mean Time. +5 hrs. In US, kicks off at 2 PM EST tomorrow.

Yes, stream got wiggy. Hanging on ad for bet365 in Cyrillic. WTF?

Have KB Soft. Like it but don't agree that it plays like e medium. Plays like s soft, IMO.

I don't think the Founding Fathers meant the words free speech to appear in ironic quotation marks. And if they'd built a fence we would have a population of zero. We're a nation of immigrants.

I've taken lessons from a pro. During one of them he said, "You have to learn how to use extreme side, I've been trying to teach my girlfriend this." During a playing lesson he opened by making (sorry, don't have the ability to make a wii diagram) a shot that was, if memory serves, basically the...

One of the biggest differences I've noticed between highly skilled players, like pros, and schmucks like me is that pros tend to use more English, not less. They'll work the white ball around the rails using running spin where lesser players will use speed. In 9-ball especially, I think any pro...

Kamui Black Soft feels soft, not medium. I'm coming off an Everest Hard Predator production tip, which was rock-hard and clangy. Kamui Soft feels mushy in comparison. I get much more action off the Kamui Soft - so much so that I tend to lose shape. But this ain't the tip's fault, it's lack of...

Awesome story. Travel is the tits.

Thailand, especially Bangkok, is a great pool scene.

A nice pleasant thread?

Just once in my life I wish I would play my usual game.

Confusing countries with their governments is the reason the USA was the most despised country in the world between 2000 and 2008, and probably still is, residually.

I have tan Simonis 860 on my table. Like somebody said, buy the tan Master chalk. The cloth LOOKS great, but in general I wouldn't recommend it. It's amazing how much the cloth can change your perspective on the balls. The great thing about tan is it's neutral, and the balls end up looking...
