    Watching Streams - Poll

    Yeah. I just want to be able to see the mechanics and mannerisms players have. Pool isn't too exciting when all you see is rail to rail. If I see a shot or position that I like I would also like to see how I can duplicate it and not being able to see the full stroke or mechanics of the shot take...

    Watching Streams - Poll

    I don't like watching streams that primarily use the tight on the table surface view. To me, it is too boring when you just get to watch the balls and pockets. I rather watch the streams that have a little wider shot so I can see the shooter, their mechanics, and other things. However, too wide...

    Tony Drago loses his cool vs. Alan McManus at German Masters Q

    why did Tony shoot at the 6 when the 5 was still on the table? If the wire was 13 I assume shooting the 6 is a foul making the point difference 19 with 18 left. Maybe I am wrong or missed something in the video but...I don't play snooker so I probably missed something.

    Build a champion in a month or 2. Is this possible?

    That is a great point about eating right and exercising. Personally, I am my own worst adversary. I was a little overweight, ate like crap, smoked, slept very irregularly yet played decent for me. About 6 months ago I started eating better and cutting some of the garbage out and I am starting to...

    What do you think holds most players back ?

    You still need guidance and resources. You could have a lot of natural ability, a full plate of the D's previously mentioned and work at the game all you want but I don't think you can shorten the learning curve fast enough unless you have the right mentor[s] and the money to allow your...

    At what speed do most decide to hit the road?

    You have to play good. No sense hoping you are going to get a spot as an unknown. Best way is to get a good location with games that should be favorable for you then go there and try to win. Going around trying to beat everyone you meet will probably get you broke real quick. It looks to me that...

    All Japan Championship Live

    Who is the girl [without the vest] playing behind Lining? Guess it is Miho Nakajima. Plays good and looks good. Guess I am a new fan.

    F/S Jerry Rauenzahn Feeler 8-Point

    I love the way this cue hits and looks. I didn't even know you were thinking of selling it.

    Backers/Railbirds questions

    Wow, some of you guys are so generous. :rolleyes: The main consideration is the amount of the bets. If someone on the sideline is making small sweat-bets then I don't see how a player would be expecting or hoping for anything. If the bets are more substantial, why wouldn't the side-bet winner...

    Who was the one pool player that you learned the most from watching them play?

    Going way off the radar with this one and say Richie Richeson. I learn something from him almost everytime I watch him play and definitely each time we play. Sometimes shots, sometimes attitude, demeanor, or will to win but I learn something regardless.

    Taking time off

    Take a break if you really want to but why take a break just because you weren't feeling it that particular evening? Like others said, it depends on what you want or expect in regards to pool. For some people, if they just weren't into it in a session they would be thinking about getting back to...

    Thoughts on Samsara Jump/Break Cue

    I have used the wrapless for about 18 months and I still like it. I have a softer tip on it but I don't have any problems with it. I like the extra handle especially for use for long range jumps. I add it to the regular jump portion and it really flattens the trajectory and adds accuracy when...

    the last time i ever give 10-1...

    That sucks. The first rule is to never bet a guy on his proposition.

    Soooooo, I'm a slow player.........

    With all that stuff going on and taking so long per shot.... how can there be any more room for stress/pressure? One of the things I really like about a lot of slow players is that they can shark themselves on a high pressure shot by taking so long. One thing I see a lot of the slow players do...

    How do you get in stroke for a big pool match?

    I like to hit a couple banks before. Stun, follow, and float and that usually gives me a good idea of how I am hitting the balls.

    Should Pro Tournaments Be Seeded?

    If the trend moves towards seeding I would like to see a ranking system system more similar to golf where it looks at data more over a long term. At least that way it would be more transparent and look less like favoritism. Also, I wouldn't like to see seeding in Open tournaments. If a good pro...

    FS - Magic Chalk - 25 boxes

    I still have some more in stock. I would also be interested in a trade for Hirano M tips. If anyone out there would like to try some Magic Chalk that is one thing I would be interested in.
