You can make your own break chalk, you take a cube of Masters chalk and soak it in milk overnight and it becomes Milkchalklot.......

I never played pool until I was 38 years old, I dedicated myself to the pursuit of music, when I did "play" I was horrible, my little sister was better than me, I got interested in the game in the late 90's early 2000's watching ESPN, I loved the beauty and precision of the sport, I played APA...

I started playing again after 10 years of not even picking up a cue about 3 years ago, I'm just now STARTING to get a consistent pro like stroke, I think a pro golf and pool strokes are very similar with golf being more complicated to learn but a pro billiard stroke is not easy, especially to...

Lessons from a PBIA billiards instructor would probably be more valuable for an APA 2 or 3.......

I'll play in $5 or $10 tournaments, it's good experience but my experience is gamblers don't like to quit until they have all your money, I have been approached a few times to gamble but I saw their speed and it wasn't any gamble on their part, I did get my first break and run of the year last...

I think they call that game golf......

I love to play but I've never had the money to gamble, I started playing later in life so I know I'm nowhere near your speed, I just keep working everyday to get better.

There are no easy shots or easy safeties, sometimes the runout is difficult because of clusters or a lot of balls near rails ect., I spend time working on my safe game, I find it difficult to play a lock up safety on a good player, you will often need to control the cueball and object ball with...

A lot of old school players making money were gamblers who were exceptional players looking to play people they believed they could beat, I know it still happens today, but there is more money in tournaments and more of them around the world today IMHO

It took a while for me to try the Bulletproof Break tip, there are good and bad reviews just like with every piece of gear, they hold chalk great and perform great on hard and soft breaks, you can even draw the cueball with this tip if you are so inclined.

Check out Dr Dave's Breaking video

Becue cues are made in Italy and are the first cue to be made totally of CF, Check out their website and look up technology, these guys are experts in CF who wanted to bring to pool what CF brought to golf, I own both their break cue and playing cue, in my experience there are 2 things that make...

I compare speed of stroke to height in basketball or height and weight in football, you are either born with it or you are not, if you are not blessed with a fast speed of stroke, like me, adding weight will definitely help, I use a 22.25 oz playing cue and a 24.5 oz break cue and I am playing...

Yes, I was wrong about his age, he was 53 in this match, still played at a high level at that age and still a giant in this sport imho

Like the Allison Fisher mention, great player

I watched an old video of Irving Crane winning a straight pool title match going 150 and out when he was over 70years old on YouTube, that certainly got my attention, his cue ball control and ability to draw on that cloth from the late 50's or early 60's was amazing, he deserves more respect in...

This drill will lie to you unless you put 2 balls, 1 on each side of your target, the center diamond, about 1/4" bigger than the cueball frozen to the rail, if the either frozen ball moves you are not hitting the cueball dead center or your stroke isn't straight, I had this same problem, I had...

There is a short video from Dr Dave billiards called cut induced throw on YouTube, I tried to send you a link but it wouldn't let me, just Google it and it should take you right there, if you haven't seen any of his videos you are in for a treat.

The book has nothing to do with discipline, you can't possibly know what you don't know, it's not a long book and quite entertaining at the same time but you do what you think is best for you and good luck with your game 😀

If Thoroughbred is the tip for you then you should use it, I don't care if a top pro uses a Bulletproof Recoil tip or not, it's simple for me, there are hundreds of variations of leather tips and have been the only type of tip for at least a hundred years, I know people are skeptical about...
