    Why am I regressing?Shouldn't I have improved at least a little?!

    It also helps to take time off, too, especially if you're trying to work on many things all at once. Sometimes I'll practice several days in a row and get into a slump, take a day or two off, then come back with a refreshed attitude and everything falling into place.

    Opinions on this cue and what tip I should choose?

    I bought a McD M63B as my first cue from McD's website in Jan. 2006. I didn't know anything about cues or different manufacturers, let alone the whole custom cue world. I picked McDermott because I searched for and read some good reviews, and I liked their warranty and maintenance policies...

    How long did it take you to learn Back English, BR, LR?

    I would definitely check out Dr. Dave's instruction articles on http://billiards.colostate.edu. I started with his oldest article on the 90 degree rule - otherwise known as the tangent line. The diagrams helped my understanding immensely. Good luck.

    what do you do when playing friends/family?

    For me, it depends on the skill level of the opponent. If I know the person is good, I'll play my best. If I know s/he sucks, I'll still play well, but I'll pick the group that has the harder layout and take harder shots. I'm usually still challenging myself, and only have myself to blame if...
