    Does anyone here know the specific names of every muscle that’s involved in the stroke?

    Thanks Bob. I was also thinking of attaching a weight to my cue to see which muscles get fatigued.

    Does anyone here know the specific names of every muscle that’s involved in the stroke?

    Thanks, I do have several doctors I see about my condition. I already do curls but this method you mentioned seems interesting.

    Does anyone here know the specific names of every muscle that’s involved in the stroke?

    Isn’t that in your calf? I’m also not really concerned with hitting the ball hard, that’s not an issue. Just overall steadiness I guess.

    Does anyone here know the specific names of every muscle that’s involved in the stroke?

    By knowing the names then I can look up effective exercises that target the specific muscle.

    Does anyone here know the specific names of every muscle that’s involved in the stroke?

    I want to strengthen every muscle that’s involved because sometimes I have days where everything just feels kinda weak and shaky. I have a neurological/neuromuscular issue that causes it but I’m wondering if I can help lessen how bad it is by strengthening certain muscles. I’ve been lifting...

    Finding the Desire to Play the Game

    For me it was watching pool in my spare time. I’d see how easy the top players make the game appear to be and how perfect their cue delivery is and I’d start to obsess over it again. I wouldn’t recommend trying to improve your game if you’re not really into playing at the time because you won’t...

    For a one rail kick, does top spin turn into backspin and backspin into top?

    This is something I’ve never fully understood, probably because I don’t have a good enough stroke. If you play a one rail kick and get a full contact on the object ball, and if you put a lot of topspin will it draw the cue ball back? And if you apply backspin will it act as top? When I practice...

    Who was all in on the infamous dumping at Challenge of Champions 1991?

    I don’t remember that topic. I think that was during a time I stopped posting here, I only came back recently. I don’t really get the frustration you and the other guy are demonstrating. This is a discussion forum, if you don’t like a topic then don’t click. Though the previous topic posted here...

    Who was all in on the infamous dumping at Challenge of Champions 1991?

    I just watched the videos of Howard vs Lebron and then Hall vs Lebron, it made me curious as to who else was involved. I don’t see the big deal in talking about it. Most pool players know about it. Forgot to mention, I’m also wondering if Vegas ever started allowing bets on pool again. If not...

    Who was all in on the infamous dumping at Challenge of Champions 1991?

    I didn’t know people contested that it was a dump. I thought it was basically agreed by everyone that it happened.

    Who was all in on the infamous dumping at Challenge of Champions 1991?

    I know of Buddy Hall dumping in the finals, and I watched the video of the semifinal of David Howard vs Lebron. Did Howard dump too? He missed a pretty easy 9ball. Was Mike Lebron involved too or did it happen without his knowledge?

    Bill Stroud pool stories................

    I didn’t know Bill and I don’t know exactly what happened, but I’m guessing that after he started that promotion to build someone’s dream cue, he was diagnosed with cancer and thus never fulfilled that agreement. Is that correct? If that’s the case, I’m wondering if the cancer diagnosis just...

    Did Jon Kucharo have the most powerful break ever?

    I saw a slow motion video a while back of some top players who threw their whole bodies into the break, which seemed to be popular in the 90’s and early aughts. Archer, Daulton, Ellin and a few others. The slow motion seemed to show that a lot of the movement happens well after the ball is...
