    Global Pool Players Association

    We just had our first GPPA meeting and several teams were formed. I'm up in the air about joining at this point. The rules are pretty.....different. I'd advise everyone to read the entire rule-set VERY carefully.

    Is anyone playing in the GPPA?

    We had our 1st local meeting for the GPPA today. I'm probably going to be a team captain. Anyone else going to play?

    Any fellow NAPA players?

    I just made it into the NAPA Hall of Hustlers. :)

    front foot in stance

    The lead foot helps to favor one side of the pocket over the other? I wish to subscribe to your newsletter and look forward to hearing more on this subject. ;)

    Any fellow NAPA players?

    Curious as to who else in here plays NAPA. Until last week, I had been playing in 3 sessions per week, since joining in early February. My very first career session just ended, so I still have 2 going per week, but I'll be wrapping up another very soon. At that point, I'll be obviously down...

    Have you ever tried it?

    Experiments in looking at the cueball while delivering the stroke.

    I absolutely, positively focus on the CB last. After your body is aligned to the shot, you've decided how/where to contact the OB, and then slid into place.....well, most of the work is done. After that, it's a few moments of lubricating your stroke. I will look back and...

    Chalk... Hate vs Love.....

    I actually use the original Kamui .98 as a basecoat on my tip prior to each set. Then I chalk up with Masters that I've baked in the oven. I can't really describe what that feels like. But, I LOVE it. And miscues are virtually non-existent. With that said, after the success and quality of...

    up and coming cue makers that we'll regret we didn't buy early

    Gary Johnson from Flippin, Arkansas. I'd put any of his latest work up against $2000-up cues any day. Not only for looks, but sheer playability. They hit absolutely great. Players and breakers.

    14 Days: The Great Pool Experiment with Tor Lowry.....my diary

    Well, here's the (non)answer to the $64K question. My friends say I look much better at the table. I appeared pretty jacked up originally. I know that I FEEL much better. My stance is much more stable. I'm happy with my new grip. All of this has solved some of my vision problems...

    A good electronic ratings software/formula out there for a grassroots league?

    Dang, Bob, I really like those formulas that you have. Very sweet. It takes into account a player's "seniority" (history in the league), the "weight" of some events, and bare bones win/loss. Is there any way to integrate a "strength of opponent" factor? For example: Player X is a 40...

    A good electronic ratings software/formula out there for a grassroots league?

    Thanks everyone. FWIW, this league is singles. We have about 200 total players, but most weeknight tourneys have maybe 6-14 players. Weekend events might have 10-20. Season kick-offs and state tournaments can have up to 60-65 players. So, we're not big, but will be finishing up our 30th...

    A good electronic ratings software/formula out there for a grassroots league?

    I belong to a small grassroots pool league. Our player ratings are determined by an elected Board that simply votes based on what they feel is correct in regards to a person's level of play. There is no "fluidity" in that method. It's VERY rare for a player to be lowered and often takes a...
