    Using Center Ball Only To Snap Out of a Slump

    It's another paradigm of thought I don't believe in, is slumps. To me I either have the focus or I'm lacking it at that time. I can recognize when I don't. I used to work 5 days in a row at a job and got out of work at 5-6pm last day. Not a long hour work week, about 40. The last 3 days...

    Using Center Ball Only To Snap Out of a Slump

    Didn't mean any disrespect by that, I dont know your game. Yeah, I've done that. I try not to think too much on it. I stop playing games and start to practice going from center out. I was having issues with english last fall in my league. I have worked on it before too. What I find when I...

    Jackpot Cues

    :lmao: Was it a basic dinner for two costing $500 or the BS in this thread keeping corporate from finding a way to make money off of pool?

    Using Center Ball Only To Snap Out of a Slump

    If you're thinking about all those variables when using English, I would suggest you never use English again. That adjustment in aim when using english should come practically automatic. I imagine you found some Tor Lowry videos talking about dropping the use of English? It's great advice...

    I don't have experience rock crawling myself. I've probably got a couple hundred hours in watching others do it. Watch a few shows of 4WD Action, some videos of people doing the Rubicon Trail. You'll get the idea. That guy drove that like it was paved. When that Jeep dropped, that guy had...

    Never said it was easy. I've stressed hard in stuff thats chidrens candy compared to anything anywhere close to that. You couldn't pay me enough to drive that w your Jeep. Rule one of offroading is, you don't go alone. If you're doing anything challenging, depending on your ability and...

    The spotter stands in front of the vehicle and uses hand gestures and often a CB in contact with the driver. The spotter is telling the guy in the Jeep exactly where to put his tires. They are critical and mean the difference between rolling your rig and other possible damage, like sliding...

    I've got a lifted JKUR and I watch a ton of you tube stuff on Jeeps. Never seen anything even close to that. Balls of steel. What you don't see in the vid is the spotter.

    Jackpot Cues

    I play with a $230 cue. That was expensive to me. In ten years I haven't bought another cue for myself. I bought one out of hock for a friend for $110 and he's never bought it back. I seriously considered buying one of the first Jackpot cues and really came close to pulling the trigger on the...

    How I broke through my toughest plateau

    Lol, you awoke your "natural talent". Let's see, hard work, good practice, grew your knowledge, all backed up by passion, a burning desire to be great. Yep, that boy has great "natural talent". Great post Demetrius. There are no shortcuts to greatness and there is no magical gift that takes...

    how are ya'll doing in league ?

    We were in first and just fell flat on our face last night. I don't think I have seen our team choke that much. We beat ourselves, can't stand that when I do it.

    Tips for this shot.

    I'm surprised by you guys who use a specific type of English for this shot. Every shot requires shape for the next shot, unless you don't have another ball to put in. Learn that shot w no English, then learn to get shape off of it with follow and draw, then play with English on it. I agree...

    Big Question - Do you break with your main playing cue or not

    Couple years ago I finally bought a break cue. Yes, I'm an 8 Ball player, thinking man's game :). Glad I got it, breaks like a bomb w no effort. Before that I would use my friends break cue when I could and if not, I used a house cue. As mentioned before, it's not about breaking the stick or...

    Playing Under the Influence

    Know a guy who won the BCAPL title here in Michigan. He plays in the masters division. One day I'm in the bar, he's playing on one table I'm on the other. One of his friends ask him how he's been playing lately? He tells he's been playing great, better than ever. His friend asks what kind of...

    The first time you remember playing?

    My neighbors had a pool table. I can remember being around 8 I guess hitting the balls around on the table. We learned how to masse a bit, the wrong way to jump(never learned the correct way till much older). Played cutthroat a lot. We didn't play a lot of pool, never got the bug for it the...
