    what is YOUR preshot routine?

    When did anyone ask for help with combination shots? This is what works for you I am sure; but most of it is personal stuff that may help you but I wouldn't say it's "the way to go", I especially advise against #3, the reason you see lots of pros using high speed with combinations is for the...

    Question About Spotting Balls??

    FOUL!: Both balls stay down BIH for the next shooter. If it's the 9ball that leaves the table, spot it; still BIH for the incoming shooter. Here is the applicable rule(s) 2.6 Spotting Balls If the nine ball is pocketed on a foul or push out, or driven off the table, it is spotted. (See 1.4...

    Will you please post photos of your playing cue and your case, thank you.

    Gift certificates are foolproof, peoples taste in anything is not. This is a cue that you probably expect this person to use and possibly cherish for years to come IMHO you stand a lot better chance of that happening if you let them pick it out. To them that wildlife, 8ball, 9ball or sexy girl...

    So wtf is wrong with a pocket when this happens?

    The same thing used to happen at Shootz on table #14, except at Shootz on table #14 you could make this happen in the foot right corner pocket. I pointed it out to the manager and she said "thanks Johnny, I will take care of it" and she walked away. A bussboy came along about 5min later covered...

    What do you hope to achieve from the game....

    There is no such thing as "taking ___ too seriously" if one has a passion for something (no matter what that something is) it's that passion that makes life fulfilling. It doesn't matter if that's swimming, biking, law enforcement, politics, tiddlywinks, archery, clock repair, computers or...

    If you have a weak part/point in your pool game what is it?

    What a great thread; humm where do I start, I guess I will do this in order of importance and I will have to think a bit: 1) Distractions: I am one of the most easily distracted players that I have ever seen, bump me from behind and I am almost guaranteed to miss the shot or blow position. 2)...

    Is a Break Cue Necessary?

    No, it is not, my suggestions would be (these are in order): 1. Get a break tip put on one of the cues you're not using, sell the other and get some lessons. 2. Sell 1 of the cues and buy an I-1, the reason for specially an I-1 is that you know you like McDermott equipment. 3. Sell a cue & buy...

    When did everyone get penis chalk?

    Wow I use a chalker, a magnetic one and after reading this post I still :rotflmao1::rotflmao1::rotflmao1::rotflmao1: Ok chalkers do a lot for some people, mostly for people that chalk-up before every shot; I like them, they do the job that they say they do, if you want to leave the chalk on...

    How do you assess someones speed???

    You watch everything they do and listen to everything they say, assume they are better than they are leading you to believe; it does take a long time, a lot of "street smarts" and boatloads of time around high level play to be able to do this well, spotting the fish is a hell of a lot easier...

    only for the instructor that has the answer

    Some arguing is healthy The reason I did not participate in one of these threads was because it was too "war like" for me. I felt like saying "hey is the gunfight over yet because I have an honest a goodness question" but I felt like there would be one more stray "bang-pop-chung-poo-whong" shot...

    Another Duh moment of mine

    Yea took me reading Fels book before I woke up to this. All this spinning & skidding and using lots of rails now looks "uninitiated" to me, not "wow is that guy good".

    Mental vs physical

    Sometimes better; ever wonder why you can "machine gun" the rest of the rack after you sink the 125th ball in 14.1?

    Slumps: Myth or Reality?

    This could be the cause very easily, unfamiliar surroundings are very unnerving for some. Give yourself some time. You have been on the "downward spiral" I suggest these articles. http://www.easypooltutor.com/articles/52-david-sapolis-articles.html And as I said they can be real but make...

    Masse'

    There are all kinds of house rules in lots of pool halls, I have been in a few pool halls where the rules are NO JUMP SHOTS, NO MASSE. The oddest was "IF CB HITS FLOOR = LOSS OF GAME. For those that stuck with the rule it sure did make them play more delicately and you didn't see any real jumping.
