    Who says barbox 8-ball is harder than 9-foot?

    I play 8-ball very seldom but it seem to be my best game somehow.. I often hear 8-ball is harder game on barbox than 9-footer. I claim it is not true from my own perspective. Proved it again to myself with race to 13, 8-ball match on 7ft Diamond versus strong U.S barbox specialist. It was played...

    Russia tried to crush Finland in WW2. They attacked with over 1 000 000 soldiers. We fought them back and kept our independence. We are small country about 5 million people and we never trust Russia. Still not all Russians are spies. They are mostly normal people that don´t even like their...

    Old Dogs New Tricks aka Cue Ball vs Object Ball - Mosconi Team Members Answers

    I am watching more my aiming line between balls. I see object ball in the end, but i don't focus on it. Focus is more to shaft direction compared to aiming line. When i made my first 147, I was super focused to line between balls.

    Accustats/ many U.S tourneys have their own rules on shot clocks.. Like cueball fouls only.. :D rest of the world plays all fouls.. Normal shot clock you have to strike.

    I tested it exactly same conditions. We have 4 inch new Rasson table in our club with slick cloth. It will go because it is perfect half ball hit with slow speed and cut induced throw is maximum there and it will transfer spin so much to object ball that it will have little running english on it.

    Ok i admit I was(and Sky) wrong. I tested it and slow half ball you can barely dodge double kiss. Cueball will end up far to side rail for difficult 9 ball though...

    cant get both. Hit is too thick for that. I would either just bank 8 to end rail containing safety and let opponent try long bank or i would try bank it 2 rails side pocket. 2 rail bank have cueball dangerous close to corner though..

    Here you can see 8 ball was closer than ball to side rail.

    st Set this bank up and shoot it cross side and tell me how it goes... Take as many tries you want. I say you wont make it. Because it need thicker hit than half ball. It is double kiss.

    Bank was impossible one rail. Sky was right. Bank was possible only 2 rails or it would double Kiss..

    Help: Near-Straight In Shots

    I took my post from aiming forum what i like to use practice near straight in shots. The post: This thread actually made me do little practice on subject. I like this setup because it is easy to set up exactly same time after time. This cut is very slight. I have used it with students and 90%...

    Help: Near-Straight In Shots

    Best is not to use English on near straight in shots. You just add another variable. Try focusing how much cueball moves sideways on stun shots. What route cueball follows object ball with follow shot. Also what line cueball is drawing back with low english.
