Congratulations.. that's pretty good playing a month or so. Build on it, and have fun.

Thanks for the vid... Where/when was this? Vegas?? King Kong playing in background. Brian Parks cruzes by. Jay Helfert and Frank dabarbr having a look. Mad Max soaking it up, smiling as ever. Joe, looks like he has been listening to Max...fundmentals look good. He stays down well. 'Cept...

Isn't there a 30's James Cagney movie, where he (a bad guy)stands at the top of a burning tower, screaming..."I'm the king of the world"??

I'm not able to view the link, but, I generally lower the closed bridge, shorten the bridge length a bit, and slightly tighten the grip on the shaft. Lower to strike cb lower, near level, closer and tighter for improved accuracy hitting the cb, especially if adding more power than normal. It...

Sorta on topic At the risk of returning to the original topic of complex or elaborate pre-shot routines... We have a guy at the senior center who has some pre-shot rituals...sorta the same thing..;) He starts by removing the chalk from the table and returning it to the rightful owner. He...

Thanks Bob! Yesterday at the senior center....getting my butt kicked again playing 8ball...this came up..opponent is on the 8. My shot with no place to hide. :eek::eek: Made 11 in side, 10 came out for bottom left corner, 8 in side. 11 rolled thru the 10 into the pocket with almost full hit...

[/B] Jay, when you have to make a hit call, do you want to know what they are going to do? Does that help you to be in the right position to see the balls interact? Do you look for likely CB or OB(s) paths after the shot to help determine the order of collisions, if any? ie: good hit/bad...

simple concepts can be complicated, if you want them to work in a variety of circumstances:wink: if I find the correct aim for a shot that I slow roll with just top, have I found the correct aim if I hit it hard, with some or extreme english, with stun stop action on the cb, jacked up, or...

Blake/SloMo... Thanks for a great feed...very sharp picture and camera angle.:thumbup: The split screen of ball trays (ball boxes with preformed corrugations) labeled with player names, displayed to show who's pocket is who's..is a nice and informative touch. Caught last match...the comeback...

[/U] MY bad. I told him that I was kicking behind the 2 ball....I didn't describe the event sequence and result expected.:banghead: He is a better player than me, I thot he would see/recognize the shot potential...and I thot it would be out of line to walk him thru it... Oh well...nobody...

Sorry guys...just got home. Thanks for the responses. I considered rolling off the 2 soft to get behind the 6, but it was too scratchey at the required slow roll speed. The back side carom looked real good on the 2, with the natural tickey cb path into the 6. It helped that the 6 was off the...

Shoot or duck? URL=http://www.billiardsthegame.com/onepocket/?pos=20|490,85|42,422|404,80|490,53|414,67|24,114|222,139|261,165|304,200|490,220|490,240|490,260|490,280|490,300|490,159|213,340|490,360|490][/URL] [ I shot. Made the 2 and 6. :D 5 stayed in place. :D Got good on 3 (cb...

an unlikely shot works out. That keeps me playing. It helps that we're not gambling..:grin-square: Made the 10 in bottom right corner, 3railed cb softly into 2, window for 12, used 5 as stopper, pocket 8 top left corner.:thumbup: I quit and went home.;) Kinda like shooting 115 on the...

August 1, 2, 2015. Anyone know results? thanks

It might be worth trying a pressed milkdud elkmaster...'dawgduds' by AZB's pooldawg8. More a medium hard hit...hold shape well, no mushrooming noted. Pretty good tip...see reviews. If you're looking for suggestions.

Efren and Corey and Francisco..for creativity and Shane and Dennis and Darren...for getting out when you should and Jason and Mike...for pace and firepower and Rafael and Rodney...for fearlessness and EARL....'cause he's EARL ...heck...most of them...'cause..these sum*****es are...

As a mindset....do you generally expect to win? Unless you get beaten, (not lose.. due to bad execution or thinking) or the occasional bad roll...etc. Are you looking for just one more shot, to start to turn the tide? Is that winning expectation undeterred despite a/several spankings? Where...

[/B] The video clip appears to show Ronnie inviting the ref to make a call on the non called 10ball...could be wrong. To me it looks like ref is going to let it go unless Ronnie makes an issue of it....appears he did. Since Ronnie is behind SVB, easier to play it off as "sorry bro" as...

This helps me: 1) Given a choice..align the shot to be a 1/2 ball hit. If not given a choice, view as 1/2 ball hit, then adjust. All moderate cuts are 1/2 ball cuts, unless, they're not.:eek::rolleyes: 2) Artifically bring the pocket closer..as you visualize the OB path....'see' the shot...

Who is opponent: Junior Ko bro? If so, hard to believe he gave it back? Since it's Shaw shooting, with his stroke, surprised he didn't make the 6, carom the 1 and power draw into the 4, making it off the 10, and spin out two rails for the 5 or 2?? uptable...that would be a nice shot...and...
