I agree completely with that. It doesn't matter what your brain is feeling the other player shouldn't have to deal with it.

Not saying losing makes me go nuts or anything. I play all the time and lose plenty. It is days when you just can't get in the right mindset to play right. When you just give things away because you are taking things for granted, either the game or your opponent that is most frustrating. Losing...

I struggle sometimes with players who try to intimidate people through threats or by insuation. I have seen numerous fights in poolrooms but once I was playing and a fight broke out when I was down shooting and got hit over the back of the head. Still today when there is an argument going on...

Looks good to me. Reminds me of several people I know who started playing really young. A young local champion near Detroit shoots a lot of shots angled out a little like you do. Sure doesn't hurt his game. I have always had the opposite issue. It is funny whenever someone tried to emulate it...

It doesn't matter how much you practice or how good you are feeling about your pool game, it only takes one crappy session to get your head spinning. Not sure if it is a characteristic of pool players but when I play a session filled with mistakes, unforced errors, and weak mentally I literally...

I have two used OB Classic Pro shafts for 5/16 x 14 joint for sale. Both shafts have the standard black collar. Soon I will have a used OB Classic for 3/8 x 10 with a blue/white joint collar. That one is currently at the OB facility getting a new tip and ferrule. Probably won't get that one for...

I didn't even know there was a Club Membership.

Warren isn't too far north of Monroe. If you get bored and feel like playing there is usually a relatively wierd guy from Montana practicing in the backroom.

I think the best option would be for you guys to send me down for the 10 Ball and the Tunica events. That way I can do all the grunt work for you. I can compete in all the events and compile the data necessary for everyone to discuss this matter further. I would also be able to create daily...

Almost 8 years for me. September 12, 2001 - January, 2009.

This thread sounds fun already. That Wichita room sounds like the place to be. Anymore, I think that anytime people are playing for money is good. I finally got to play someone today for the first time in probably a month at the poolroom I go to. I got to play a really strong player and when it...

I had one [have one but it remains unreturned] and it hit like it should and the quality was very good. All the materials were very nice and his workmanship is as good as any of the respected cue makers.

Poolroom accountability would be so great. Nowadays people say whatever they want and knock whomever they please without being held accountable. I remember saying some unimpressive things about a local players game when I was young and one of the old guys making the point that I shouldn't bash...

I think it would so cool if some of the arguments on this forum were settled with pool challenge matches. Funny how all sorts of behavior is accepted but challenging someone to a game seems foreign. I had a couple people challenge me when I was helping someone with a pool stream and they were...

I ended up telling people that I have newly discovered mental disorders and my brain either allows me the ability to play around with people or it doesn't AND that it is out of my control. Who knows why and I can't explain it but if my brain is spun then I have to play by myself or gamble for a...

Before 7PM the time is half off at the room I frequent. I like to get there early so I can get loose and practice. I just can't seem to get there at opening unless I stay up all night though. I enjoy practicing before many others start coming in. I like playing at night as well as long as there...

Also try not to put too much pressure squeezing the tip and ferrule together. I think sometimes if there is no tackiness and too much pressure is applied you can squeeze glue out leaving a glueless area. Also with the ten minutes dry time, you might have to be careful burnishing it since it...

Cutting down on some of the knocking would be pretty helpful to the overall health of the game. Maybe bring enforcers into the poolrooms so they can smack around people who get out of line, re-establish the old poolroom hierarchy code. Seriously though, maybe pool really just needs to purge the...

I usually deal with Kathy and she is terrific. Nothing wrong with Tammy but Kathy seems to tolerate me pretty well. I just ordered another OB shaft from them last Saturday, she gave it a roll check, joint check and inspection just to make sure there were no issues, and I received it Monday. She...

My opinion is that it's kind of like the pool version of the law of diminishing returns. It takes so much work and effort to keep getting better and at some point you can only put in the extra work so long before you start letting up. I really don't understand why most poolplayers don't burn...
