    Backcuts: Why are they any different?

    This also applies to back cut banks. In one pocket there are banks that players never shoot especially at the far end rail. If they actually went and took a look at the actual angle they would see it is not that much. It is sort of an illusion. You can often bank a ball to your pocket that is...

    Backcuts: Why are they any different?

    I don't know, think about it a little bit more. I think in the big picture when you are actually playing they can present added problems beyond just cinching the ball.

    Backcuts: Why are they any different?

    There is also another difference. The cue ball is heading across the table and usually down table and is harder to control. It often takes a radical stroke to bring the cue ball back to the middle of the table. When you are cutting a ball down the rail you can use the rail to control the cue...

    Books and DVDs vs What You Really Need

    I kind of don't agree, certainly with the "Years" remark. I am no teacher but what little instruction I have done I want the person to be doing stuff right away. I will start showing them simple natural position from the start. It doesn't take long for them to get a little bit of a stroke and...

    Mike Dechaine and the rack...?

    You could be right. I used to run around with a guy, a triple smart player. He always told me to just check the front balls. He said if balls move in the rack it is more likely you will make something. He was right especially if one of the back or corner balls moved. He never wanted a perfect rack.

    9 Ball the movie.

    You know, as hokey as we think that is, in the original "Hustler", a classic, when Eddie beats the guy flat it is like the same except maybe worse. They punctuated it with out and out trick shots. I think COM did one of the best jobsever making games seem real. Even the simple patterns they...

    Any AZers in The Villages, FL ?

    Maybe that was a little overstated but they do like to aline themselves with white supremacy, You see that almost every time they do anything publicly, the signs and dog whistles. In the Villages the percent of blacks are .006%. My only question is, what are the .006% doing there? Who in the...

    9 Ball the movie.

    Gun manufactures have been floating that same red herring since Reagan was shot like 35 years ago. Today we have more gun freedoms then ever before. It is propaganda for suckers. I would not lay awake at night worrying about it.

    Any AZers in The Villages, FL ?

    If you are going to be going back and forth it can be nice to just lock the door and leave knowing your place is being watched. I have a friend who is a pilot and he lives in a condo. When he had a house I was always having to go over there and make sure everything was OK when he was away.. The...

    Travel Time and Distance to Your Pool Hall

    It is easy for some of us to get spoiled who live near a room. I had one that was less then a mile once. I used to ride my bike there. Of course it closed, there is a medical complex there now. I will be moving in less then a year and I checked out the pool scene before deciding where I wanted...

    9 Ball the movie.

    I started this thread because movies like that get so little distribution they often are no where to be found. I was amazed to find it on demand on a movie channel. At least some people may get a chance to see it. There are quite a few movies like "Kiss Shot" that seem to be impossible to find...

    Any AZers in The Villages, FL ?

    I would stay out of that place unless you like living under a Nazi regime. Then I would never live in any of those kinds of places anyway with everybody in your business and telling you what to do and how to think and live. That place may be one of the worst though. Do your homework before...

    9 Ball the movie.

    It is an on going debate. One has to define "Stopping power". With todays ammo the difference is negligible in terms of the damage to the human body. No bullet is going to knock a person off they feet, that is only in the movies. If you study wound cavities they are almost the same regardless...

    Travel Time and Distance to Your Pool Hall

    I don't think I would make a trip like that everyday. Maybe once or twice a week. That is why so many of us have home tables. I like the idea of not having to practice in a public place. When I go out it is usually to play.

    The Hustlers: Season 1 Episode 8-July 3, 2015 Thread

    That can be debatable. I would rather play a weaker player I am giving weight on a loose table. Yes, it will help them a little, but it turns me into a superstar. I am not just throwing this out for discussion I have seen it happen. I was in with Toby Sweet playing a guy and they got on a real...

    9 Ball the movie.

    In such a small gun I don't know. I know what you are saying and have shot both, Heck, I have carried a 44 special for like 30 years and shoot it pretty well except for the expense. In fact when the fire works start, I am going in my garage and doing some shooting tonight. I have a 7 yard...
