Why does everyone on AZ love teen girl style drama so much

Dave "Viffer" Peat

Just returned from playing snooker in the UK and I loved it, I'd love to see it take off in the US. Very difficult game indeed. My experience left me with the impression that there is a range among games in terms of how much emphasis is placed on what can be done with the cueball, how much you...

Hello, I currently find myself in Oxford in the UK near the university. Can some UK friends tell me a good place to play in the area, either snooker, pool, or english pool? Thanks!

Your youtube name is familiar. Did you used to have a pool-related website? If you are the person I am thinking of it was very informative and entertaining. Edit: Found it! http://www.barenada.com/pool.shtml Man I used to look at that site back in the day all the time!

Hold the cue like a baseball bat with hands at the shaft end, then sweep all the balls off the table. Then throw the cue through a window. That's powerful, man.

Have to say Kevin Guimond is a GREAT player as well. I watched him toast several pros in the Ocean State 9-ball a few years back. Very unassuming yet powerful game.

Seems like there are people in this thread who enjoy the fact that TOI has helped them, and people who enjoy arguing how everyone is delusional for buying into some hype. So everyone is happy! Great. Hugs all around.

No I am not interested in such a book. However, I am interested in having you write a book on brain surgery. I know you aren't an expert but give it a shot. Brain surgery book. Get to it.

A closed bridge is usually recommended in older instructional material while in newer instructional material both bridges are presented and equally recommended. If you want to feel why to use an open bridge, play a game of snooker. Small cues and balls makes seeing your point of contact...

I play in between Ohio and Chicago, usually going to through Indiana along the way. When I play on the east coast, it is mostly straight pool and rotation and I can hang with the good players. There are also many straight gamblers that may not be at a high skill level but try to get the nuts...

My name is Henry and I've been called Professor, Desapenado and Henry Hill. I lived in a Moose Lodge in Mass near a pool table for 7 years and played all comers, eventually had people making the drive to play me. I play in the Midwest a lot and usually lose. I play on the east coast a lot and...

I do not think there is anything particularly wrong with your fundamentals, at least from the video. If you feel your game is off you probably just need the time at the table to get comfortable with your stroke again. Only suggestion I can think of is line up so you are standing closer to the...

When I was finishing up my graduate work I took a drug called Modafinil that is given to pilots to stay awake and supposedly has all sorts of performance enhancing properties. I was interested in playing pool while on it but never had the chance. Thing is, even if something works, it usually...

Gandy Valle I think has quit, he was absolutely phenomenal. Sad that Troy Frank quit, I used to love watching him on the Viking tour. Don't see Evan Broxmeyer at tournaments these days. As I sit and think of names of people from the past that have quit, I am also aware of a new generation...

Just like Buddy Hall would've played it!

I find in places like these the guy is often haggling about/constantly clarifying what rules you are using to play for a particular situation, especially when its your shot. I don't care and just nod and smile and say "ok buddy, whatever you play by, thats how we play, no problem". The look I...

I agree that watching the pros or any good player very closely, particularly technique, helped me more than other instructional sources. Another thing that helped my game jump, surprisingly, was taking breaks. I played/practiced/gambled etc. every day for several years, and during that period...

I feel your pain one and all and am a bit embarrassed to be the cheerleader this time around. But hey, I found something that works, I'm happy about it, and I can't hide it. Sue me. Then give me a sub-forum. Cool. I love how this optical illusion is working for me!!

So should I edit the title for clarity or leave it for humorous effect at this point?
