    Lifting heavy weights and shooting good pool do not go together

    Now i know why pro pool players are mostly slender, tall, and do do not weigh much. Shooting pool and lifting weights do not go together. I have been lifting weights for over 45 years, and still lift pretty heavy. My body is always in some kind of recovery. Always sore, and I’m alway tight. Not...

    Finally watch POOL HALL JUNKIES, man what a stinker.

    I’m sorry, but i like WATERWORLD. Yes it’s bad, but it’s a good bad. I even went out and bought a jet ski after watching the movie. But i could never get it to go all the way underwater like the bad guys did. 😂

    Finally watch POOL HALL JUNKIES, man what a stinker.

    The worst movie on my all time list is WEEKEND AT BERNIES. A terrible stupid movie, terrible plot, overacting, just a waste of time. Last night watched pool hall junkies, and it goes right at the number 2 spot. Of course the pool scenes were ok, but the plot sucked, the acting sucked, never...

    Never going on a vacation again, taken 10 days to get back to normal.

    First vacation in about 6 years. Went to Lake Tahoe with the kids and grand kids. Of course old grandpa paid. Had fun, Lake Tahoe is so cold I could only go in the water up to my knees. Came back home, started to practice, could not make a ball. Took a few days to get halfway back to normal...

I thought about going, didnt know if it was free or not. But i didnt go, and later found out it was like 30...

    why do some pros fly to England for the tournament, when they have a small chance of winning?

    I was thinking of hunter Lombardo and billy Thorpe. Don’t know if either of these two guys are sponsored or not, but they always get the same results. Win, loose, win, win lose. Every major tournament???

    why do some pros fly to England for the tournament, when they have a small chance of winning?

    I could see myself entering a medium pro tournament if it was near me. I would be dead money, but I would get two matches for sure, all on video. Would be worth 300 bucks.

    why do some pros fly to England for the tournament, when they have a small chance of winning?

    It’s always the same group of ten guys that win the majors. The same every time.

    why do some pros fly to England for the tournament, when they have a small chance of winning?

    Enjoyed watching the UK tournament on you tube this weekend. My question is this: the line up was the best of the best, the top 10 players in the world. Filler, ko brothers, Ruiz, Boeing, ect ect. Why do pros who are on a level below these killers attend this tournament? And I’m not naming...

    Amazing how a tight grip can foul things up.

    I was practicing this shot last night, and out of 10 shots, 8 went into the side pocket for a scratch. I kept scratching my head, trying to figure out what i was doing wrong. Tried hitting the cue ball harder, no luck, tried hitting easier, no luck. ( it was late, and i think i was a little...

    A wonderful morning- hot coffee, good music, and a 9 ball break and run first rack.

    In the beginning, i would break and run a 9 ball rack once every month. This went on for quite a while, a couple of years or so. Now, after 5 plus years of practicing at age 66, the break and runs are know coming 4-5 a practice session. To say I’m I’m very happy is an under statement. I have...

    Is it possible that after 5 years of playing, i can aim automatically?????

    I don’t know the exact number of balls hit, but i can say that i have played/practiced pool at home for 2-3 hours a day, for over 4 years. Never really missing a day. After reading that sentence, you would think im simi pro!!!!!!!!!! Not quite. I move too much, shoot too fast, have big fat...

    Is it possible that after 5 years of playing, i can aim automatically?????

    Yes, exactly. I stand behind the shot, look at my line, get down into position, no CTE, no edge of shaft, nothing. I can see the spot to hit on the object ball, no fractional stuff, no pivoting, just center cue ball. Before i would look at the shot line, and think: is it a half ball hit, a...

    Is it possible that after 5 years of playing, i can aim automatically?????

    I seem to lately just get down on my shot line on a long angle shot, and eyeball my aim point, and shoot, and im not missing?????? Is it possible that i have hit so many shots in practice that i can now find my shot line in my mind and zero in and shoot??? Im talking not using CTE, GHOST BALL...

    If your on the fence on buying a ball polisher, buy it

    Old judo is a senior citizen, on a small fixed pension, and social security. So when i saw the price of the diamond ball polisher, there was no way judo could buy that, way to expensive. Did a little research, and found DR BILLIARDS BALL POLISHER. Did a little research on it, and found it on...
