That is a mystery I didn't put it here; I will swear on a stack of bibles I didn't

It is not possible to understand this without the poll.

If I could remove this I would; people (like you have not) understand this without the poll attached.

You forgot to say FOR ME, drills are exciting for the right type of person; when I am about to fire my 10th long thin cut shot ALL the way down the table without a miss that is a whole lot more exciting than running a 9ball table that I made 3 balls on the break from. Bologna you just haven’t...

[/SIZE]I highlighted this because some people will go and check that rack with you and a rerack might not be what you want. You MAY WANT that rack that is not 100%, depending on what’s “wrong” with it. Some people may view this as cheating or unscrupulous but I do not. Racking is part of the...

They won’t hurt your cloth. This is the absolute worst advice I have ever seen dispensed. Breaking the balls and trying to run the table is good practice; but about 1 in 100 will be able to do this without getting careless and/or sloppy. And if you get careless and/or sloppy it turns to...

That’s what I think Really? Do you mean wood, plastic, metal or any? :scratchhead:

With opponent racks or ref racks what’s your opinion of the “rack inspectors” not meaning those who come down and look it over if they think there may be a problem (because I think everyone does that; or at least a VERY high % of us) but rather those who carefully inspect every rack even though...

You will not understand this without the poll attached!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You will not understand this without the poll attached!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You will not understand this without the poll attached!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You will not understand this without the poll attached!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know...

Patrick, theUBC, Tony and (maybe) 8pack + others with “sense” we are: :deadhorse: :deadhorse::deadhorse: :banghead: :banghead: The others are just going to keep saying the same thing "you need to practice" and we are going to keep saying "well that's a given but here is what you left out" So I...

That depends on what “kind” of breaker you are. Are you strictly a power breaker? When you play 8ball do you shoot the 2nd ball precisely and go for the 8ball and in 9ball do you try to break the balls into dust? Or are you one that tries the 1 in the side and squat the CB dead center no matter...

Nothing, but I don’t think anyone here is or was confused on that point before his OP. that makes me think that he might be saying something relevant instead of just "there is no substitute for table time", “boiling water is hot”, “elephants are big”, “the sky is blue” or “it’s dark at night”.

You have “come full circle”, “around the clock”, “back to the beginning” etc.. etc.. because you have taken that journey; one can NOT take a short cut and get there; you (most people with very, very few exceptions; maybe the talented out the wazoo people) can’t just get from midnight to midnight...

So why did you read those books if all you need is practice? You shouldn’t have skipped the first couple of sections (that’s what lots of young people do I know this because I used to require my students to buy the book and way over ¾ of the people under 30 skipped the 1st part and went right to...

http://www.easypooltutor.com/articles/52-david-sapolis-articles.html Read all these articles until you can bring to mind what he says “off book” in other words do some memorization.

That's called cut-throat (at least around here) How about a 9ball ring game? No BIH you flip coins to determine an order, incoming player gets the option to pass the shot back to the original shooter if not a legal hit, if a scratch behind the line. This is a lot of fun and is usually a way for...

Your sarcasm has made me see the light, I can’t imagine what I was thinking all these years. I agree with you; anyone who is willing to spend enough time at the table (assuming they are not, handicapped like blind, wheelchair bound; missing a hand or arm etc.. etc..) trying to strike the ball...

This is a terrible premise. Really think about what you’re saying. And how that is accomplished best is not the same for everyone, if you deny that fact you will not get that individual’s best possible results. I suspect that you are more of a “talker” than a “listener”. I could be wrong but...

Works great on paper, no offense but: Like everything people have various talents in particular areas it may very well be that you have a natural awareness of where to hit the ball to put it in the pocket but to assume this will work for everyone is completely absurd. Most players (and some...

I would post this in a separate thread, you are probably just asking an innocent question but this is a bit of a faux-pas to most here.
