Thank you all for your input. Glad to hear that they are repackaged from bulk and that I have a genuine product. Thanks again!

My first thought on seeing the upside down picture was that I thought you were missing a side pocket. Then I said to myself "that must be why he's playing 1 pocket!"

Yes, thank you, I meant the red circle cue ball. I didn't want to call out a retailer, but I guess in the effort to get better opinions on whether I should call and make a stink about this, I will just come out and say it was Ozone Billiards. I've always had good luck with them but I was...

Ah yes, I am most definitely interchanging the two. I just wanted to point out that speed at impact does make a difference.

Acceleration does have something to do with it. If you hit the cue ball barely hard enough to reach the object ball, how much draw are you going to get? Regardless of how much backspin you have, you'll get a stop shot, at best. All the backspin will have died by the time it reaches the...

Recently I purchased an Aramith red dot cue ball from a major online retailer. Their picture in the description showed the Aramith hard bubble package with their logo and packaging. I received the ball in a poly bag with just a label on it, nothing to indicate it was from Aramith or a genuine...

If you are playing under your level, lowering your handicap will not suddenly make you play better. I would suggest forgetting about the ranking and your win/loss column and figure out why you were able to win so many games before the Labor Day break but aren't able to win now. For what it is...

OMG that 10 minute version was priceless. I could only get through about 6 minutes of it though. The part where the skateboarder shoots out the tire of the jeep yet the next cut scene the driver has a bullet wound to the heart (yet says he's ok) was awesome. And of course, you have to...

Put a guy sharking you by standing behind the pocket the 9 is heading for.... Then it would be realistic. Hehe, jk, nice job. One minor point, if you can look at it before you get in too deep... the angle of the rails on the back pocket looks a little off. Unless it is intentional, you...

I sometimes tire of running set drills and like to find ways to mix things up but still keep it constructive. A variation on this drill is to grab the cue ball and 2 other balls and randomly throw them onto the table at the same time and hard enough so that they bounce of a rail or two and...

Joe Tucker's Guaranteed Improvement drills will get you used to using english to pinpoint the cue ball position. If you want a book that runs through every shot taken through the match, along with the DVD of the match, you could get Capelle on 9 Ball: Archer vs. Reyes. Watching matches...

Yup, I know what you are trying to do and using the method I described (clicking the mountain icon and using a Photobucket account) does show the actual picture in the thread or PM. I just don't think they offer the same "Manage attachments" ability in a PM. I could be wrong though...

Oh, just start a photobucket account, they make it super easy to be able to post photos to forums. You click on a button under the photo that you've put on their site and it gives you a URL link to the photo to use on this site. I'm not sure if you can link directly to a file on your computer...

Isn't it the same as inserting a picture into a regular post? Just hit the icon that looks like a mountain and paste in the URL of where you are hosting the photo?

Honestly, C player trying to place in Banks ... Hit every shot as aggressively as you can. Go for everything. You will not win a safety battle. Just toss your nuts out, imo.

I don't run tournaments so take my opinion for what it is worth... but I feel that if the person PAYS in advance, they should be allowed to be in the tournament. If they show up late, they lose their first match. If they don't show up at all, their money goes in to the general pool for...

I got a fast response as well! "Dear MyPrettyPony14, Thanks for the great feedback! We’ve shared your note with those closely involved with Pool coverage and I’m sure they’ll appreciate it. Thanks for taking the time to write. For additional fan service, be sure to follow the ESPN Fan Central...

I have some friends that like to play pool just for fun, they aren't very good and don't care that they aren't very good. :) When they come over to my house we play 8 ball and the spot is that I have to run my balls in rotation and they play normal 8 ball with "slop counts" added in. It...

JC, yeah, I think you need to install Flash for Firefox separately. I was looking at the more traditional 3/4 rail approach and was wondering about getting around that 8 ball. It is a shot I plan on studying, using binder rings to mark all the ball locations, then finding at least another 2...

I like the Kamui, although the chalk tends to cling to the cue ball and I find myself cleaning the cue ball more often. I also like Blue Diamond and the Predator chalk as close alternatives. If you are used to Master, just try BD or Pred and see if you like them more. If you notice a...
