Method The aspect I like to use in the reverse order, or backwards path is to walk and chalk. As you circumvent the table, starting with the 8 ball and the best path to finish, is look at every object ball and their least troublesome pathway to the pockets. By seeing the table from every...

If there is one Here's one of the people who will hopefully have major input. Of course, where are you going to find a spot on that full plate of yours, Mark? Hope You Are Well. Carl

reincarnate Pro Pool will reincarnate itself in some form or another one day. Whether the next incarnation will stand the test of time remains to be seen. Pool cannot be compared next to any other sport. The analogy with Poker is not applicable. Because, the format of poker, with muliple...

Hustler/Sneaky Petes The one in the top of this picture fooled a lot of people for almost 10 years in the 80's. Of course, back then it helped to have a cheap soft case to disguise it. Downside, is that everyone thought it was a house cue and wanted to grab it out of your hand. Going to the...

Observation I have never used a cue specifically made for Breaking, or Jumping. Locally, there is a cuemaker, Gary Medlin, who makes a specialized Break/Jump Cue that I have observed others use. Knowing the quality of his work, and others who specialize in Break/Jumps, I have not seen any...

Thanks. Thanks. It's not a big deal. I remember that Toby was a Joss Cue Representative and you had to travel to Ludwigshafen to get one. I remember that big ass snooker table Ralph described. Ask Ralph if he remembers an American he played at a tournament in Karlsruhe back in 1986,lol?

Ralph Eckert is Right Ratta, I appreciate the posting from Ralph. His perception is correct, about the turns that Pool must take, in order to develop in the future. Pool, esp. straight pool(14.1), needs to be played on 10 ft. tables, as it once was back in the glamour days. I also agree with...

Wonderful This is going to be great. Straight Pool should be played on 10 Ft. Tables. Kudos to Greg Sullivan, Diamond, Bob Jewett, and Everyone involved with making this a success over the past years.

Difficult to calculate According to the many scholarly works I have read, there is "always" a shot. From the WP's of Mr. George Fels, Dr. Jack Koehler's Science of Pocket Billiards, the 99 Critical Shots by Ray Martin, Robert Byrne's exceptional diagrams, Willie Hoppe's mastery of rails in...

In 2013 I am going to reinvigorate my interests in making better contributions to Pool. New Goals. New Purpose. I may play a little more,other than the occasional tournament.:cool: cajunfats

Excellent Recommendations I see where Fran Crimi's name came up also. Great Choices All. In his case, I could see him taking the initial course with Randy G., then do a follow up when Scott Lee comes to town, and then to go for his advanced training up at Mark's School. After that travel to...

Encouragement I have read all of the previous posts, and watched the video. The others have posted some very helpful information, so I won't dwell on that. I have only one encouragement for you in regards to how you begin each attempt. Take a walk completely around the table to view the...

Recommend I would encourage you to get acting lessons, then go to Hollywood to work in Film and Television. This is a personality type that fits well in the Theatre Arts and Media area. I think you would do well. Seriously. cajunfats

The point? The Games of Billiards are my Muses. My Inspiration. My Creativity. My Artistry. My Tragedy. My Comedy. The point of it for me, is that of all the interests I have had in my lifetime, Pool is the only one which gave me fulfillment. It allowed me to indulge when I wanted, at what...

Should all miscues Regardless of the percentages of video evidence, the answer is no. Not all miscues are fouls. The BCA Rule Book describes in the General Glossary a miscue as, "A stroke which results in the cue tip contact with cue ball being faulty. Usually the cue tip slides off the cue...

Rule Not relevant to an individual practicing. Rule may be waived under extenuating circumstances by local authority if you play by BCA Rules in league. Other systems operators would have to be asked about waiving their rules. Tournament director's decision regarding shooting aids and equipment...

I Love This Item This is a fantastic item! Thank You for posting this. Some of the most creative artists exist in our pool community. cajunfats

8 Ball Don't change a thing! You guys are having fun so far, so why spoil it by making the game mean something. Shoot, screw up, laugh about it, and don't make it a competition. Just have fun, share the laughs, and throw 'em back!!! Aloha!:cool:
