dont do it you never see the pros playing straight cant believe youd even think about it of course you would have the best chance with your cuetech even allison doesnt play straight pool someone else might say that you cant try something you either do it or you dont i suggest read a book before...
So that's where the term "seedy poolhall" came from... I especially like the retrofits on the pool tables. Do you think they cut the legs shorter to install those fancy leveling systems?
It's mainly up to you to decide which works best/is most comfortable for you. I don't pay much attention to whether I'm pinched or not with the closed bridge. I use it mainly when the cue ball is close to a cushion and use an open bridge when there is ample room. When I bridge off the...
Without being there to see what happened, it would be hard to hazard a guess. If the table rolls off, you should be able to see the object ball curve away from the pocket. Some tables will roll off in different directions depending on where the ball is on the table, so it's possible for the...
The American Poolplayer's Association (APA) is the largest amateur pool league in the U.S. Rankings for 8-ball are 2-7 and 9-ball is 2-9. When you first start as an unranked player, you start as a 2 for a woman and as a 3 for a man. There are handicaps awarded for lesser skilled players. In...
Both American and English snooker rules are in the BCA rule book that I got when I bought my pool table. I've also seen the American snooker rules posted in the pool room next to the snooker table before. They are the rules that I usually play by at home, although I have spent some time...
I was watching one episode of a new 4 part series on one of the HD channels about the Mekong river. This one was about a lake in Cambodia that fills up and drains with the coming and going of the monsoon season. Most of the money made by the people who live on the lake comes from raising...
"BTW anyone know where i can find some good pix for my avatar"
Most seem to get theirs from www.sleazypornslutsite.com, but really, anywhere on the internet or from your personal collection is fine. You might have to define "good" first, though.
Good post, Jude. I can see this same scenario play itself out almost every night. I have so many bad habits that I can easily fall into. I'll see myself missing shots that I know I should make. It makes me go "grrr". Then I'll slowly start gathering together the things that I've learned...
I started out playing regular APA. I liked it, but there were things about it that I didn't like. Specifically they were: the amount of time it took, some nights I didn't get to play, and having to play people who were nowhere near my speed and couldn't beat me even with the handicap. I've...
There are definitely more opportunities to use the mechanical bridge on the snooker table. I usually shoot one handed instead, but when shape is critical or it's too awkward to shoot with one hand, I'll use the rest. To each his own.
I apologize for suggesting a mickey mouse game. I was...
Playing pool (with the larger balls) on the snooker table will help both your pool game and your snooker game (at least it has helped me in both areas). Smaller targets and longer distances seem to be the most beneficial aspects. Just be aware that you will need to spend a little time...
