    Best instructional video?

    Colin Colenso's video on breaking is one of the best bits of pool instruction I've ever seen.

    Aiming systems and Our President

    I take the fast fourier transform of the approximate speed profile I intend the cueball to follow. Once I have the frequency spectrum, I eat a carefully prepared meal of tofu and bananas and begin to think about my preshot routine. Then I usually use the grandfather clock system pendulum...

    What the heck is-liquid wick pool cue?

    I think my current pool cue has phase shifting technology. Its going through a missing phase.

    Proper positioning when shooting. Why the transition?

    Even snooker players will stand higher when the cueball is close the the object ball, except on maybe a very long pot. I believe the transition from straight pool to rotation games has changed fundamentals. In straight pool, most of the pots are relatively short, from the bottom half of the...

    Russian Billiards tables?

    I really wish their were more "aficionado" rooms that had several different tables, i.e. snooker, these huge russian tables, billiards.....there probably won't be a big market for it, but I'll dream on.

    Russian Billiards tables?

    Are there any Russian Pyramid tables (I believe 6 x 12 ft?) in U.S. pool halls that you know of? I love this game!

    Picture Technique Needs Help--how did he do this?

    I'm pretty certain this is a regular photograph. When you see these sorts of motion blur photos, there are two varieties. One shows the "stopped" action before the motion occurs, as in this photo. Meaning, the situation prior to the motion is frozen, and then the motion is blurred. The...

    Interesting shot....maybe you've heard of it.

    The cueball and 8 ball are both straight in, maybe 1 half an inch away from the short cushion at the head of the table. The 9ball is in the middle of the opposite short cushion at the end of the table. How do you make the 8 and get shape on the 9? Hit down into the 8 so that the cueball...

    Tired of being tired of hearing people bash league play

    You're post is absolutely correct, you are exactly the person leagues cater to. Someone who wants to go out once a week, have a good time, play some pool, with no aspirations of greatness. I hate leagues. I play to get better, and I have fun doing so. I'm not having fun if I feel like I'm...

    What's a good contrast wood for cocobolo?

    Depends on the piece of wood you have. If you have very highly figured piece of cocobolo, something less intense than highly figured maple may look better.
