    Temporary marker or stickers for training?

    You can use hole reenforcers for protecting a page of paper when putting into a 3 ring binder. I call them donuts. Work really great. You can get them at any stationary store. You can set up the same shot and shoot it over and over again until it sinks into your shot memory. Great way to...

    The funeral for my only daughter, was today at 11:AM. She is gone, but not forgotten.

    As a father, this is one thing you hope you never have to experience. This is a terrible loss and we all feel your pain. Nothing we say can soothe the hurt you are feeling. Remember the good times you shared together. My condolences LNL, my heart aches for you and the pain that you are going...

    New diamond table install (pics)

    Thanks for posting. You really should enjoy that table. I hope no one hurt themselves hoisting that slate up onto the table. 900 lbs, that's hernia territory. If I had the room, I would definitely buy a Diamond.

    China Open 2013 updates

    The matches on you tube are really great. The color, camera work, close ups all make it worthwhile to watch. I wish I understood Chinese. That's the only bad part not understanding the commentators. I mute the sound. Now I know how it was during the silent film era.

    Is Pool Too Tough For the Average Mind?

    Neil, I agree with what you are saying. I know I let negative thoughts ruin my game at times. When you are "training", you have no reason to think of anything other than making the shot. If you miss, keep setting it up until you make it consistently. No worries about the opponent, or having...

    Is Pool Too Tough For the Average Mind?

    Thanks Naji, that is some good advice, especially the focus part. I just recently started paying more attention to my eye movement. I feel that when switching back and forth from the CB to the OB, I shoot to quickly when my eyes move back to the OB. I've just recently started taking just a...

    Is Pool Too Tough For the Average Mind?

    What the #&*% When I am practicing I hardly ever miss a shot. Whether it's a 60 degree cut length of table, a cross side bank, a length of table bank, everything goes like magic. I practice the shots that give me the most trouble. Piece of cake, I make them and I never ever will miss again...

    Who is the Greatest Female Pocket Billiard Player in History?

    I remember seeing Jean playing on TV. She was unbeatable. Does anyone remember a match that she was playing where she made a number of unfavorable comments about her opponent? If so, who was she playing and was this the reason she stopped playing. Was she blackballed due to her remarks in...

    Banking Secrets

    Great Feed Back The reason I started this post was to get some dialogue going on a subject that is a major part of the game. A lot of players will play a safe rather than risk a miss on a bank. Straight pool players never play for a bank, however if that is the only shot, they tend to make...

    Banking Secrets

    Brumback's info on holding the CB up when banking cross side was very helpful along with his length of table tips in making the OB go into the pocket at a straighter angle. I'm looking more for sighting the bank. Using diamonds, CB and tip position, or opposite pocket. I agree with the speed...

    How to have everything?

    I keep going back to you Avatar and asking "What would a honey badger do"? I'll tell you what he'd do. He would chew off that ring finger, get your money back for the ring, and invest it in a nice cue. There are many men that ignored the signals of a disastrous relationship and still tied the...

    Banking Secrets

    Does anyone have any tips, secrets, etc. that they care to share on banking, both across and length of table. I don't seem to be able to find too much info on this subject. I did purchase John Brumback's DVD and that was helpful as well as info from Freddy The Beard. What I am looking for is...

    How to have everything?

    If you cave to this woman, then please do us all a favor and change your Avatar. The honeybadger, in my opinion, is the meanest thing on 4 legs. You just don't mess with him. So, if she is messing with you and you are asking advice from us, then your disposition matches that of a pussy cat...

    T.O.I by randyg

    I have all of CJ's DVDs. I continually look at them because I find that I usually find something that I missed. I just can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I have put in a number of hours on this. I would say in excess of 25.

    T.O.I by randyg

    I know that this is not an aiming system. I didn't as far as I know imply such. Maybe the confusion came from when I said "in order to see". Probably should of said "in order to feel" Seeing as where I am having a problem, I was looking for what I could be doing wrong. When going through...
