Would I bet $1,000,000 on a 50/50 chance at $100,000,000? Hell no!

This is so true, I need some strange.:cool::grin:

I'm a big fan of drills. I wouldn't consider myself great by any stretch. But that's how I got the feel for speed. When your leaves get better you don't get into so many different situations. Calm that CB down, see those patterns and it gets much easier with less crazy shots. I know how to get...

I started doing that drill to get straight draw. CB can't touch the rail or the added OB on the draw back. I also line up corner to corner and do the stop, follow and draw drill.

I do essentially that same drill, only I put another object ball next to the CB about a 3/8" off of it, about the same distance the CB is off the rail. The object is not only to get the draw distance right, but straight draw. What I don't like about that drill is that it's a rail bridge shot.

I learn speed by time in on the table playing my game. Imo, that's the best way to keep the speed practice fully randomized. Unless your speed is way off, the drills aren't as good as just playing. Did I get on the right side of the ball? Came up short or long? Speed, imo is a finesse thing...

Looking forward to the end, one week left. Worst season ending team rank ever. Our team has always finished in the top 10 and usually in the hunt for 1st. Taken 3rd and 2nd, I've only played league about 7 years. I know my performance was less than in previous years. But this year we had a...

Imagine a light above the rack spot that generated random racks by shining down the ball numbers.

Stun will not move the CB on a straight shot. However, any angle shot, the CB will travel at the 90° rule. This is the baseline of working shape for the leave. You know with stun where the CB will go. Now, with a little more than stun, a bit of draw, the CB will come off the OB at more than...

Poor sportsmanship does not make the game more exciting or better to watch. Good way to get your fingers broke. When someone sharks me, I stop, get up off the shot, re-chalk, go through my pre-shot routine all over again. Then I get down to shoot again. Shark me again, I do it all over...

Two words...follow through.

Imo, Duel has no place on that team. Styer was hot and cold, when he's hot, lookout. When he's not, whew, the words train wreck come to mind. I think Styer will get much better w more exposure.

So, you don't use an electric stapler? What's the right size staple?

Thanks for posting that, I'll probably watch it a few more times as I'm gonna try and recloth my table myself. What's your opinion of RKC's glue? Is it significantly better than other stuff on the market?

I have my Grandpa's cane on two nails that are wrapped to protect the cane. Next to it I have a 5x7 card that I keep track of every table run I have. When I mark the card for a table run I rotate his cane so it doesn't warp. If anyone comes over and gets a TR, their name goes up on the card and...

Joined last June, no posts till today, and gets banned off first post? Really?

I use a polish designed for polyester finishes. It's an acrylic polymer, works great. If my cue shaft is dirty, I wash my hands, take the damp paper towel and run it over the cue and it brings it right back to where it was after just cleaning it. I've used it for many years with no ill effects.

First, I think your friend is full of it. Some good advice already given that I'll reiterate. Get out and play other people, stop playing on your table, unless you have good competition coming over. When you play on your table by yourself it doesn't mean anything. Your focus and concentration...

Soft shot with inside English. Have the CB go off the rail behind the 8 just enough to get bridge hand on table bed.

Hate to rain on your parade but... Perfection is a myth. It does not exist, anywhere. I would strongly recommend against thinking about your stroke when playing. Pool is a game walked between the conscious mind and the unconscious. If you start thinking about your stroke while in competition...
