    Best Rack

    If the delta 13 doesn't rack them right, the balls might be different sizes. You see that a lot in poolhalls where the balls get mismatched etc.

    Making changes to your stroke -- what does it take?

    I saw several well-known instructors to correct my alignment. The instructors cost me a good bit and I wasn't satisfied with the result. -ALL- of them seemed to think that if your arm is perpendicular to the ground, your alignment is fine. That has little to no bearing on your stroke being...

    Alex Pagulayan vs Dippy for $20K This Thursday. Watch it LIVE on TAR

    Dippy had his share of terrible shots, but I honestly didn't expect him to know the game and move/kick as well as he did for a guy getting 18-4. All those easy hangers he missed before Alex settled in hurt him a lot ;) I may be taking Dippy in the near future.

    Stroke feedback??

    Your alignment is good - it looks like you're in line with the shot correctly from what can be seen in the video. If you can fully contract only your bicep and the stick consistently goes in a straight line through your follow through, it's fine. I noticed your shoulder/elbow pops out on your...

    best table lights?

    I use tracklighting for a 9 footer. I have 2 long bendable tracks (~10-12') each with 5 50 watt halogen lamps. Overall I wouldn't recommend tracklighting. It plays fine but there are little annoyances like uneven lighting, more light reflections on the cue ball, shadows, etc. I went with...

    Breaking with playing cue... bad for cue?

    It can cause your ferrule to mushroom over time especially if you follow through to the table - that's about it.

    home table and pesky load-bearing posts

    Does anyone have experience removing or relocating load-bearing posts in their basement to make room for a table? Based on some googling, it sounds like it could be expensive and also cause damage to the house even if done professionally. Btw, the post runs down the center of the basement and...

    Muscle Memory/Upper Arm

    If you can post a video so we can see exactly what you're doing maybe we can give you some better suggestions. Personally I never felt elbowdropping mattered much unless it happens before you contact the ball or if you force it to drop as part of your stroke. But if it's important to you, one...

    The value of "going home"...aka finishing your stroke!

    Following through aka finishing position will happen naturally with a good controlled stroke. If you don't follow through it just means you didn't stroke it to begin with and thus bad speed and higher chance to rattle a pocket. Nothing new, but solid advice.

    The value of "going home"...aka finishing your stroke!

    Make sure you follow through - it's pretty common to choke up and punch on those types of shots. For a long distance draw powershot I think it's pretty natural for your stroke to force your elbow to drop. Following through is a lot more important than not dropping your elbow imho. Just my 2c

    Sandbagging at APA National level

    The APA nationals is all about sifting through the best local sandbaggers that rise to the top as the best regional sandbaggers to determine the national champions of sandbagging. Since you asked, there are several people in my area who've cashed in pro-am events that are SL4's and below...

    played a whole team of 6s

    Same thing happened to my team in the APA 9 ball playoffs yesterday. The other team's *3*'s didn't just have nice smooth strokes, they were playing multi-rail position using english, using stun and draw hitting the rails in the right places, widening their lines to come into tight spots better...

    Removing predator logo from shaft?

    Does anyone have recommendations on how to accomplish this without damaging the shaft? I thought about using sand paper but wasn't sure it'd be safe.
