My opinion, which is worth nothing, is that new players should just get a decent straight cue and learn how to shoot. I advise them to stay away from english (we are talking very new players) and just learn how to pot balls and maybe, just maybe, think about position using speed and angles...

This personal recounting is the most poignant bit of writing I have ever experienced on this site. I am so deeply sorry for your loss.

I would like to throw one in for consideration. Accu-stats One Pocket invitational, SVB up 2-0 in a race to 3 and Corey Deuel comes back and wins the match with some great shooting. One of my favorite matches ever ... possibly because when Corey came back to win it i won the $1000 teaser that...

Holy Frickin' Resurrected thread Batman! I've been known to hold a grudge.. but to respond 9 years later has to be record worthy! And to argue the point that you disappeared for a while, to then respond to a thread that is 9 years old ... priceless!

If I were down 9-3 in a race to 11 I would take about 4 days to rack. Every 3 minutes I would look up and ask "wanna split?".

Does this mean we could post this in the Main Forum, since it is pool related?

Now that I think about it, after the slicer went through that dead rodent it went through hundreds of other loaves of bread. I'm throwing out my sandwich.

My wife wouldn't spend $700 on my life support systems, if ever needed.

Honest to God! I buy just about anything pool related, but I am so turned off by the constant self aggrandizing that I couldn't be bothered to buy this DVD. By the way, in your little advertisement about the DVD regarding Earl's great achievement, you mention your own name 3 times and Earl's...

My personal opinion was that deflection was based on shaft end mass, so a soft tip vs. a hard tip wouldn't matter much. My personal opinion, however, is just that... and I could be completely wrong. :)

Really Neil? The obvious point being made was that instructors have to teach to the masses, finding a method that tends to lead to success for most people. The point that Jay was making, with a little "tongue in cheek" attitude, was that some people just have tremendous skill and tons of...

Here are guidelines for various size tables. http://www.brunswickbilliards.com/helpful_information/room_size_requirements.html Even with a 7 foot bar table and using a shorty 48" cue you wouldn't have enough width with only 10.5 feet. Get a table with a ball return and push it against the...

I think it would just be ball in hand. Also, I would love for my opponent to hit a foul and break up all the clusters every time he got up to the table (not to mention kicking the 8 in on a fluke once in a while with that type of shot).

I got a couple of pool themed t-shirts, some predator chalk, a red circle aramith cue ball, and to top it all off ... one of those Minnesota Fats cues with the Lava lamp in the butt section. Yeah, the one that lights up every time you hit the cue ball. Frickin hilarious!

If you go to the Best Buy links and watch the "how it works" video it mentions that it can stream any web page if you download the extra app. I don't know anything about this product, but that intrigued me. If you can stream anything on your webpage and then cast it using that additional app...

Nice looking cue. Congrats! And also thanks to this site for putting on such a great incentive program.

I also hear giggling coming from inanimate objects around my house but my psychiatrist says the medication should stop that soon.

I'm glad others appreciated watching this match as much as I did! I just couldn't get over the godlike play. That thin cut on the 10 ball that you pictured was a great shot, but when the cue ball hit the 2nd rail and just changed direction to head straight down table instead of going over to...

I watch a lot of Accu-stats DVDs but this was the first time I was driven to come on the forums and encourage others to watch a particular match. I just finished watching the 2006 Derby City one pocket matches between Alex Pagulayan and Efren Reyes, followed by Reyes vs Jason Miller. They are...

He always says he got lucky. :) The more he practices the luckier he gets.
