    Am I correcting for squirt without knowing it?

    Squirt is hard to see with the naked eye; especially from a crouch, even more so if you have an LD shaft. There is also squerve. http://billiards.colostate.edu/normal_videos/new/NVB-70.htm

    Long stroke vs. short stroke?

    Ok if this has been talked about a lot I sure have had no luck in finding it. I am having an argument with my friend and wanted to know every ones opinion about type of stroke having an effect on the path of the cue ball, not how the (for most people) body functions; but JUST the different type...

    Quality of practice on different size tables

    ^^^Exactly^^^ I would stay away from banking and kicking and focus more on stopping, drawing, following, cutting, comboing and stuff like that; what's the real difference in practicing the semicircle drill on an 8ft rather than a 9ft? It's the "kind" of practice you do that will make the...

    Question on aiming, eye perception, and alignment

    Well he does say that Donny showed it to him; so I am convinced it is not his drill (one he invented), because he said so. I think that he should find out from Donny who showed him the drill, then contact him and find out who showed him the drill as far back as the living can be found and they...

    Making your opponents shoot every shot or concede out of respect?

    With all due respect that's not what you said, you said BIH on the 9 not scratch on the 9 and you didn't specify in what situation it was in, for me there is a difference. What if you scratch on the 8 and your opponent is on the 9 with BIH and the 9 is frozen to the long rail 3 1/2 diamonds up...

    How do you kick?

    What can you say but CHA-CHING!!! :cool::grin-devilish::oink::bow-down: :rotflmao1::rotflmao1::rotflmao1::rotflmao1: You know RRfire that he is talking about ducked OB's and the CB on a spot (or that line or close to it), the CB center of table and OB ducked up or the OB hanging in the side...

    Bar Banger Thread Gone?

    Was it poolkiller? Maybe/Maybe not, EssenceOFfear(or whatever) claimed to be a 14.1 player, said something like "in some bars they don't play BIH" and little stuff like that poolkiller would never say anything remotely like that. OTOH He also said "go all out offense on you" and stuff like that...

    How do you kick?

    Yea as I said there is some ambiguity there, but if I want to continue my inning I AM going to try (attempt) a 3 rail kick on a ball that is 2ft from the pocket, done it before and will do it again; have made crazier shots than that, in fact I made one of the craziest calls in my time playing...

    How do you kick?

    I think most of the people that answerd "I make my kicks most of the time" really didn't understand the option, we had 1 person (at least) that answerd both "I make a good hit" AND "I make my kicks most of the time", so there is a lot of ambiguity there; at least in some peoples minds, I...

    New Generation of Tables

    I feel a little unworthy to disagree with someone of your knowledge & caliber and agree with you that I like beads much better than counters simply because they are easier and much faster to keep score especially in 14.1 but: Well I find coins a little distracting and people are not careful with...

    Making your opponents shoot every shot or concede out of respect?

    Yup Played players from "D" to pro, no one is immune. You're wrong, simple as that. If you are around this game long enough frequency will become irrelevant, if the possibility exists I will make them shoot it, make the call etc.. etc.. ^^^^^^^^^^See above. What does that have to do...

    Man pool players used to be good!

    Everyone forgets how bad they were, it's part of the ego. We have a guy here that claims that at one time he could beat anyone in the world. it's absurd

    how to practice aiming with english?

    OMG!!! Do yourself a favor and stop now!!! Ok that was joking. Ok you are SO new it's almost scary to me. 1st let me say that as soon as you incorporate english you complicate the shot by leaps & bounds. Especially if you are new to the game (people with less than 5 years of tournament/league...

    How to choose between which case to buy?

    Good stuff so far, I would just add that if you are a league or tournament player and carry around multi cues I would suggest you get a case that you can put the butts in either way, it comes in handy.

    You have a good break; if I were you I would get a limb saver for my break cue.

    Is it possible being a smart, analytical type can actually hold back your game?

    From what I have seen there is little correlation between "intelligence" and pool playing ability other than you really can't be a moron and run back to back racks, other than that any level of "smarts" may or may not help you play better or worse pool.
