    curving an object ball....

    FWIW, Feddy Bentivegna also demonstrates curving a bank shot on his DVD. I haven't checked his book to see if it is in there also.

    No you won't.......

    Down at the pool hall where I regularly practice there are a couple of very nice, attractive and dedicated women players. Both of them play the guys one pocket and put forward a decent entry level game. Nevertheless they both practice hard and play their best. I respect that. Last night...

    Cue import tax?? What is this?

    There aren't any. You cannot buy a Mezz Carom cue anywhere in America. At least not that I could find.

    Cue import tax?? What is this?

    I recently bought a Mezz Carom Cue from Kozoom. It was shipped to me from France. I received the cue last week. Now I get an email from this outfit IBC Customs Brokerage, Inc. demanding "payment of duties and taxes" regarding my recent import of "billiards accessories". Anyone ever...

    Hey "Itsfroze" why the PM calling me an A-Hole?

    What? Where are you from? There are only two grammatically correct modifiers to ya'll. Alla and suma as in alla ya'll and suma ya'll. Nobody ever says all ya'll. Correction, I forgot one. Nuna. Nuna ya'll. So there's three.

    Well, the dealer I and my friends in Texas have been buying Moori tips from for about the last ten years (YOU) , never told us anything about it. :D

    Masse and jumps with low deflection

    You can't do those shots with a low deflection shaft. Learn to kick or get another stick/shaft to do that with. I asked Buddy Hall the same question. That is what he told me. Another shot you can't do is freeze the cueball and object ball on the long rail 3 or 4 diamonds apart. Shoot the...

    Diamond Systems don't work on Diamond Tables

    I thought about it some more last night after I posted. I learned to kick on 9 foot Diamonds. Having that as a reference point I was always able to hit a few balls on any other kind of table and calibrate a base line for all my shots in just a minute or two. Meaning, if I consistently hit...

    Diamond Systems don't work on Diamond Tables

    They do and they are very accurate. If, on a new table with new cloth, you shoot the cue ball down known connecting reference angles and it does not come out correct then you need to work on your stroke. It's not the table.

    Diamond Systems don't work on Diamond Tables

    Why not? There are a whole boatload of champions that did and still do use them. The very first shot on your DVD, you setup right on the first diamond beside the side pockets. Efren was a 3C billiard player so you can bet he uses them too. There is no silver bullet but the diamonds are an...

    It all evens out in the end. There will be times when you will do it to someone else.

    A Visit with Mr. Moori

    Did you see the viewer thing on Newart? It's for verifying the Moori hologram on the tip packages. If I was a dealer I would get one. It appears to be cheap.

    Diamond Systems don't work on Diamond Tables

    Well, I am not sure what the cause of your problem is. I had a Diamond Professional and later a Diamond ProAm in my living room for years. I also went to visit Grady at his home regularly for two and a half years to learn his kicking systems on his own Diamond ProAm in his garage. I walked...

    idiosyncrasies that drive you nuts while playing.

    Old school players??? You mean old school ball bangers who never even read the rules much less know how to play. Don't get me started on those nits.

    clean billiard balls

    I have had kamui black tips mark up a ball that way. I have since stopped using them. This is the ball cleaner I use. Professor Qball showed it to me. I like it better than the Aramith cleaner. It does a great job hand cleaning.
