Here is an option that you should at least consider when the hit on the red is too tough for either the plus-2 or the cross table: Click here to see a decent shot off the yellow ball if you're willing to sacrifice positional control to make the point :) Robert

Did you see the animation in the basics section of how low-left and low-right english supposedly wear off of the cue ball? If nothing else, there is a nice collection of position diagrams that would otherwise be difficult for students to find online.

You've never even taken a shot on a carom table? Just play with your pool cue for a while and see how you like it before investing in a "carom" cue. Robert

Thanks, Frank - I hope you enjoy them! I want to also mention that frankncali paid promptly and was very responsive and easy to communicate with regarding all aspects of the sale. It could not have gone smoother. Robert

great transaction with frankncali I just wanted to mention I just had a great transaction with frankncali recently! He was very responsive and easy to communicate with regarding all aspects of the sale. Thanks, Frank! Robert

I see the gentleman in the first video has his own custom set of measles balls. :) Table conditions like that are always painful to watch, but it did allow that nice 4-rail masse to come in short. Now, my local room tables don't seem so bad... The second has one of my favorite Blomdahl...

We have a winner: sold to frankncali!

My current grip is 11", and it's 1" above the butt end. It's made by Cyclone, but there are several companies that make essentially the same thing. I've used IBS before, but the last one I had kept turning my hand black after playing. As With Mark, I prefer the medium of the three typical...

I wasn't so impressed, but I know Joe's videos are very popular now and many on this forum really like them. For anyone interested, I put mine up in the Wanted/For Sale section here: http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=65913 Robert

I didn't like them, but many people on this forum think very highly of them. Maybe somebody here wants to save $20 on a slightly-used set instead of buying them new? Officially, they are titled: "Little" Joe Villalpando's Pool I.Q. (Vol. 1): Kick Shots and "Little" Joe Villalpando's Pool I.Q...

Heh - so I guess I can assume that you never have to chalk your cue in Carom3D? ;)

Hi Mark, thanks for the warm welcome! If the v is for 'van' then I'm pretty sure we know each other already. :) I'm happy you enjoyed the CaromTV videos as well, although I'm sure that a player of your knowledge and experience was not too surprised by anything in them. It's still nice to get...

Ok Eric, repeat after me: "Every shot is not a 10-rail masse shot... Every shot is not a 10-rail masse shot... It's ok to make a natural with running english from time to time..." ;) Seriously though, Ira was right: there's just gonna be alot of missing. This sorry fact only gets marginally...

Thanks for the warm and encouraging welcome, Bob, I'm glad you enjoyed them! I'll keep you posted if I put up any more. Btw, are there many players in VA? Is there actually a table locally, or do you have to do some serious driving just to have a chance to play? I know there are some...

Yep, you got me! It's too bad you couldn't stick around - that was the day I finished with a 2.222 game. Unfortunately, you would've had to sit through the 0.250 game that came right before it, but we don't have to mention that part do we? ;) I guess that means you play in South FL? Do you...

Seven, it looks like you're already onto the formula for success! Many people think they're practicing just by playing games, so it's good to see you're spending that all-important time alone at the table. Also, watching matches of top players is a great way to learn to make better decisions...

My tournament high run is 13 (which was the high run for the event) and I had an 11 in the SLIO last year. I've run many 10s, 11s & 12s in practice games, but can't seem to get past 13. I'm sure it's a mental thing. To compensate, I try to stay positive about the game by focusing more on good...

That's me - glad you enjoyed them. They were up privately for 3 weeks, but only public about a day before this was posted. Man, you guys are quick! :)

There's also a nice homage to Gianni Bombardi here as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnq6TL7GWug

Here is a complete 5-part match on youtube between players Cavazzana and Torregiani: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=pianka77
