Earl is probably frothing at the mouth. Having a cue made as we speak. Will take anyone on. Bring a satchel full of money. Go get em Earl.

Ditto!!! Lot of problems lately. Glad it's not just me.

As a Veteran, I'd just like to say "Thank You". Please take a moment tomorrow to honor the fallen.

I read those posts when he posted them. However, by going back and rereading them along with what he sent me, things are starting to come together. I haven't had a chance to try yet. Comprehension wasn't one of my strong points. Broken many drill bits trying to drill things into my head...

Thanks for the response CJ. I understand what you are saying. Will be a couple of days before I can try it out. Pool is a fascinating game. Lot about equals and opposites along with angles. Thanks again. I value your comments in the forums.

CJ, could you expand a little on what you mean by hitting less of the cue ball? Are you hitting center cue ball after lining up or are you actually hitting off center? What about speed on long shots. Do you hit harder to overcome the throw issue on long shots. I tend to use the front of the...

Yoda, thanks for your offer. Unfortunately, I'm 125 miles north of Boston. I am getting a lot of info from these posts. I stick with it and hopefully the light will go on. Thanks again, this is what is great about this forum. People are willing to help

Thanks for the info Neil. I think my hang up is I tend to look at the OB. Hard to break old habits, I need to trust my eyes. I'll work on this when I get the chance and let you know.

I bought the DVD and I have been working with CTE for a couple of weeks now off and on. I have to say I feel I am just guessing at what to do. I setup the shots that are diagrammed using donut holes. I see the CTE and the A and B or the B and C lines depending on a right or left cut...

Back in the 50's, the owner of the pool room in my home town, use to walk around and rack every game. The price per game was .05 cents.

APA is great for getting new players started. Also for a social night out for those that are just looking for a fun night. Once you start going up in skill level, as was my case, the problems begin. You have to worry about the rule of 23. You find that due to your higher level you don't play...

I think in addition to pool skills, which all of the members will have, you need to think about conditioning. How many times has someone traveled to a foreign country and had problems with the jet lag or food/drink upsetting their system? I would start ensuring that the members adhered to a...

I had heard that a carpenter's level wouldn't do the job properly. Sounds like a Sterrett level would be a good investment. Thanks for the info.

Sounds like you have this down to a science. I'll give it a try. Thanks

I have a Gold Crown III. My question is: What is the best way to check the level and adjust the legs if needed? I guess what I am asking is: 1. Will an ordinary level suffice? I realize a machinist level is probably required but not many have or can afford. Any tips as far as steps to use...

Stan, Thanks for the info. I also appreciate your offer of help. Believe me, I won't hesitate if I have any questions. Doug

Stan, I just wanted to say that I recently ordered your DVD and I can't wait to receive it and get started. My only hope is that it isn't too hard to comprehend. I have a table and plan on putting in the time to make it work. Sometimes things that appear simple to some can be a little...

Seeing where you are a newbie, I'll set you straight. Don't believe the rest of these guys because they don't know what they are talking about. They are just trying to pull your chain. The silver rings on a shaft are what they call hashmarks. Each ring pertains to the number of years you...

I've got one of those pocket chalkers you guys are talking about. When I am playing, if there isn't any good chalk around, I usually use my chalker. Until reading this thread I had no idea that I was acting and looking gay. I'll be damn if I'll ever use it again. Even though I am married and...

Thanks for the response CJ. You are right, I am a master at making it complicated. I always prided myself on being a good trouble shooter in solving problems associated with production lines in manufacturing. I need to look at my game in this same light. Never looked at it that way before...
