Just like having to become familiar with shot making angles by practicing and experiencing them in rotation games, rhythm focus and concentration are very important in straight pool. The good news is by the nature of the game, it is a great way to practice that. Tips I think are helpful... you...

I'm not good enough to offer much weight in pool, but I'll play you some left handed chess. :thumbup:

I think the same thing that makes the difference subtle makes it difficult to explain. Nearly impossible for me to put it into words. To exaggerate the effect / explanation all I can think of is a door in your house that is ajar. A shove to close it would be the decelerating stroke, while a...

A loose grip allows a truer delivery IMO, but an accelerated stroke through the CB is a very important aspect of the stroke also. Accelerating through the CB allows truer delivery as well. I feel the difference between a slightly decelerating stroke and an accelerating stroke is very subtle...

I'm speaking generically since I don't know about your location or how the garage is insulated, how damp it gets or any other concern, but in general ... god I can't stand playing on a hard floor for any length of time. I like a thickly padded carpet with low pile. That's just my opinion and...

Hmm, and this question / concern comes from the guy that calls azb members with aiming systems Nazi's. Funny how that shit works.

Now that's the truth.

I will second that also. If you want to improve, practice straight pool. If you do that, you don't want to bastardize your table.

I hear ya. I don't know where the minus 2 came from, but if they exchanged fouls, he did get a chance. I suppose the lag and the opening break shot were 2 more chances also, but in a situation where one guy runs all the way out with no game innings - I would like to see a rule having the...

If the walls are sheetrock and studs, you can pick up 4 more inches easily with a little work by turning some studs on their side in the area of the table and make little jogs in the wall.

Did anyone else realize Appleton was on a foul at the end of the game there, when the kid took that flier? He could have and should have taken a scratch by just touching the CB instead of going Looney Tunes on that last shot. Too bad.

i tried it ... ehh ..It ain't accustats.

Hold's their value ... So, the interest here is to making a profit or at least avoiding taking a loss. The thread started out by the OP saying ... generally speaking .. so I will ask this question in the same vein. Which person ... generally speaking will make more money by totally liquidating...

I've always been amazed at how accurate snooker players must be to pocket (or should I say pot) balls like they do. Certainly a product of dedication, desire and knowledge. With that being said, I wonder how can they accomplish this amazing accuracy with those weird broomstick handle...

All these kinds of questions have me wondering... how can people have concerns for these kinds of intricate detail on the personal feel of a cue, and yet... buy a cue without hitting a few balls with it first. This is one of the major reasons I have absolutely no interest in a custom cue. The...

I'm not crazy about 9 ball, in fact I don't like the game one bit, nor 10 ball, but I agree with this 100%.

Shoot ... that's easy .. couple of fish hooks and a few lures, :thumbup:

Ahh ... well then in that case, clearly tattoos are the only sensible alternative. No need to even think about a baseball cap huh? :slap::thud::speechless:

Yikes, that's patience. I bought an oil change bucket for 6 bucks. You know, one of those low profile, slide under the car buckets. I lined it with some scrap carpet using liquid nails. I throw the balls in, dab some Aramith cleaner on them, roll em around by hand a bit, and then just buff...

You gotta do what you wanna do Joey. If it were I, I'd get a Marine Corp. Tee shirt.
