    Can Someone Explain This To Me?

    For me the warm up strokes help to loosen the muscle's up a little bit and make sure my stroke is right in line. When I see the aim is right and my stroke is straight I make a little pause on the last back swing and then "let'm have it." I have seen people break the way you first described...

    Our Pool Subculture-----Deceptive To Us and the Outside World

    I feel like I practically live in a pool room. I just started playing but love this game so much that as soon as I get off work I drive straight to the pool room, and stay way too late...everyday. I don't gamble yet unless it's with a friend for cheap, or $1 3 ball. There is a guy who I have...

    Do you have a problem with playing against members of the opposite sex

    No problem I played a girl last night in 9 ball and the only thing that made it a little weird is she is a close friend of mine. I sometimes get distracted when playing against a close friend during a league match, or feel bad if I get a couple lucky rolls in a row. It's all good though I won...

    Which book written by Phil Capelle you like the most?

    I voted for Capelle's Practicing Pool because it is my favorite of the ones you listed. But my favorite overall is "Play Your Best Pool." I am just learning the game and love his books.

    How to identify a hustler.

    I haven't been playing pool very long and don't usually play for money unless it's people I know and it's usually only $5 race to 5 for fun. But one night I was at a bar and a guy kept asking to play for money and I kept refusing. Finally he said let's play for a drink...Loser buys the beer...

    played a whole team of 6s

    Apa This is my first session in any league and all we have in my area is APA. I joined like most people for a night out, to meet people and friendly competition. Before joining the team I was playing my team captain in a race using handicap to get used to the format. In 9 ball my captain is...

    What's the most interesting sore loser stories you've witnessed?

    Well this one is not pool related but my brother lost a Bowling tournament by missing the 10 pin. If he had made it he would have gone to the final match where he would have been guaranteed $2000. Instead he missed. He promptly walks out of the bowling alley in his bowling shoes and throws a...

    Is there something wrong with me?

    I just went through a very similar situation. I had a Lucasi with Predator 314 shaft. I loved the way the cue played I just hated the way it looked. I found a Jacoby cue at a local store and just fell in love with the way it looked. I played with it at the store and felt like I couldn't...

    Tired & Sore Feet, and the Pool Player

    I also have a completely flat foot and notice after a long session that my stroke starts to fall off. I just got the Dr Scholl inserts and they have definitely made a big difference.

    Need advice on tip

    I really like the Kamui soft tip. I also shoot with a 314 and it's the best the tip I've used. I was nervous about using a soft tip because I have always shot with the Moori Hard like you are now, but the guy at the shop kept telling me how great the Kamui was. After taking his word I have...

    Oddest or worst thing you have won on a pool bet?

    I was just thinking the same thing after reading two posts with almost the same story. Even if I thought it was a con I would still have given the money back because I would always think, what if it wasn't a con?

    *** Cues ***

    Wow I can't believe no one has jumped on the BCM. I SO wish I had $1000 I would have bought it the first time I saw it. Unfortunately the money just isn't there. But here's a free bump. Not as good as selling it I know. Good luck.

    *** Cues ***

    I am new to this forum but after reading a few threads about how great Brian Mordt's cues are I have really wanted to buy one. I saw this thread and really love the cue with the ivory crosses in it as I am a Christian myself. If I had $1000 or some way to get $1000 I would buy it in a heart...

    How many of you guys think that you have good fundamentails?

    I have to be reminded constantly to keep my arm swing straight. I tend to "chicken wing" a little and therefore miss a lot of easy shots. Also I used to turn my hand right before impact. I seem to have kicked that habit. I have only been playing pool for about 3 or 4 months so I have a long...

    confidence question

    I've been at the pool hall a lot recently and I've met a bunch of new people, and everyone seems to want to help me with my game. Which is cool because I just started and I do want to get better but for a while I had so much stuff running though my head before I shoot that I second guess myself...
