In TAP, APA (as far as I know), The West Penn Pool League and in most tournaments I have been in the 8/9 on the break is a win. Yes it is true that according to the BCA and the World Standardized Rules it is just a re-rack (in 8); but it is far from something that is relegated to bar-boxes, is...

Pretty much everything at 1st, there wasn’t really anything in the beginning that was “correct”. So I will answer you by “what did you think for a long time that was incorrect?” I thought for the 1st 3-4 years of playing pool that it was s science that I didn’t understand yet. In other words...

Thanks I feel dumb oh well I am still new to this site.

Banned, how do you know?

And it in all seriousness it bothers some of us to think it is meant to be taken seriously Now on the not so serious note, your right I am not. I got out of bed 1 morning, went and bought pool equipment, read the “professional” rules, rented a table at a pool hall and started running back to...

That's :confused: :eek::yikes: :banghead::thud: :speechless::shocked2: :shocked::scratchhead::bash:

yea bull’s-eye, right on target, exactly, that’s it but: :killingme::killingme::killingme: :rotflmao1::rotflmao1::rotflmao1: :rotflmao::rotflmao::rotflmao: :lol: You put it in a much more funny way, yours had more impact (probably) because he will remember because it had the humor factor; I...

I think that guide is meant to be humor; I don’t think it can really be construed as a guide to pool. If it is meant in all seriousness then Almost everyone here “started” where you are right now but have moved long past it. It isn’t a “different way” its “the wrong way” as I said it just...

Loser breaks is a good and (I think fair) way to determine who breaks; I have never tried "trailer breaks". I will have to think about that; my initial thought is well in a race to say 7 and I am up 4-0, he has had all the breaks already now even if he wins the next 3 games not only did he have...

This is a valuable lesson to learn people “skim” posts; only about ½ the people that read your post probably got to the bottom. I think you may have the same problem I had when I was young; I am a detail oriented person, the reality is that ½ - most people are not. How many people read: 1. The...

I must ask if this is serious or not, poolkillers81; is this an attempt at humor or not?

This question in its present form can not be answered IMHO. You can ask: 1. For each category (or is there a difference) Pro, AA, A, B, C and D players which has the highest % of break & runs 8ball or 9ball? 2. Can the players that play 9ball exclusively or 8b (don’t laugh there are plenty of...

I have no formal training of any kind (at least not in the area of pool or psychology). Here is a recent (or part of) a post I made. There is almost nothing and I mean really really close to 0 of what I teach that is based upon “my own approach to the game” basically because I don’t have any...

You're welcome, need anything else just PM or post me.

Well I am Episcopalian and proud of it and in my world God has spoken to and he has said a whole lot about love, respect, acceptance, tolerance and the like and has said very little about (if anything, but that is for theologians to solve; and I doubt they will ever come to a consensus) cross...

I am not trying to be mean, snobby, snooty or the like; I am just using this “strong” approach to get you to understand quickly, that’s all, so don’t take any of this the wrong way. No you can’t your inning ends (most of the time unless you pocket one in your pocket to) so your inning is over...

Trust is the 1st part of this meaning trust in what you are seeing you have to trust that a ball frozen to another is going to go straight along the tangent line every time, you have to trust that a frozen ball is going to be pushed in the same direction as the CB, you have to trust that that...

No it isn’t that they are ignoring it they are just not bigots. Gay, Lesbian, Transgender, Black, White, Male, Female, Cross dresser or whatever if they want to play pool LET THEM!!! How the ___ do you know; did you have a dialogue with God? No they are being accepting of the people that are...

Cluster analysis is a HUGE part of 14.1; if you train yourself to look for “dead balls out of the pack” every time you will be doing this to. This is said about me all the time “you read that so well”. To me it is just that I look at it every time, not just when I think/suspect a ball might be...

^^What he said^^ get a carrying case with it with a shoulder strap.
