    'On the Gum'

    Particularly in 1pocket and 'golf', the strongest players have an uncanny ability to play their shot and get the cb nearly welded to a cushion...alot. Is this touch a gift, or can one learn to do this, if not already blessed with this skill?

    how are ya'll doing in league ?

    About done with this session of league. Not a good season...we were beset with all manner of bad pool karma and calamity. Personally, I came down with a season long case of 'forgot how to play or think'. And apparently, it's catching.;) Most of our matches, included the same post match...

    How Would You Play This?

    I don't see much I like. Possibly roll up on 2. Possibly roll 4 onto 9. I'm gonna hope to get lucky...shoot cb with 1 tip left stun, straight at 2ball ..for a double kiss. Cb come off side rail after kiss on 2ball, and down next to 3 ball. 2 ball off end rail, off cb toward side pocket...

    Way to go schmitty!!!!!

    Bottom. Cut it pretty thin...from that distance...nice shot...the 3-9 laid good, but avoiding the scratch on the back cut was tough. Nice shot for sure.

    Ever lost a match like this? Disgusting!!!

    Pretty sure this type of shot is responsible for hearing 'really?' at this point in the match. Do not touch your cue until the flush of anger has left you drained and calmed and spent. A barely audible mix of sobbing and laughing is acceptable in these situations. Try to avoid the pressure...

    call foul after??

    If player points out that opponent is about to shoot wrong ball...is that a 'coaching foul', awarding BIH to opponent? Situational ethics. For fun, social league, a friend....tell them. If opponent is on your sh1t list...notice after the fact.;)

    How Would You Get from The 5 To The 8?

    Oh, now I see. Medium speed stun. 3/8 tip right, 3/8 tip high. Two rails with cb to bump 9 softly. 8 in the top side. 9 in the lower right pocket. It could happen.:thumbup:

    Matching speed of new 860hr

    Does the cb roll forever? On the new HR, are you overhitting draw and follow? Does using multirail shape help? thanks

    Starting over after 4 years

    My condolences about your Dad passing away. I agree with others in their advice to establish or re-establish fundamentals. In choosing instructional materials to help rebuild the foundation of your game..consider materials from Max Eberle....lots of good stuff worth revisiting. take care, and...

    Hate both my tips. Suggestions?

    New plain Elkmaster break in>>>sit out on the patio and using a loose closed bridge wedged against your thigh, imitate the 'dart' stroke a couple hundred times. Requires a straight medium speed vertical stroke, allowing for the 'bounce' since you let go of the shaft. Do a little shaping if...

    Hate both my tips. Suggestions?

    +1 Grips good, holds shape, plays 'medium' from the get go, yet grippy. Try one...Alex may have some kicking around...or can get some for you to try. ps: Jeff is a good guy to deal with direct.

    Ashtrays On GC1 - Yep, Changed My Mind Again . . .

    Brian..I may have asked this before, don't remember.. Do your ashtrays sit loose in the corner moldings and rattle around when jostled? Or are there little rubber captive nibs that attach to the ashtrays and create a 'press' fit into place? If so, were they in good shape, or did you have to...

    More Pool Wars

    Looking forward to getting on a pre-release list when the time is right. Jay, thanks for doing this. Story telling is a time honored, but disappearing method of informing and describing the colorful past, that would otherwise be lost to history. You have a knack for putting the reader in the...

    How Would You Shoot This?

    +1 Medium hard at second diamond to ckeck up and double corner. For me, more doable than the kick around a ball with low inside/mini masse. Although...I would like to have that shot....cooler for sure.:thumbup:
