NO, you should post a serious straight pool run of 50 or more. I'd enjoy seeing that.

The first thing that came to my mind was that old joke with the father and son bull standing up on a bluff looking down at a herd of cows grazing. The son says to the dad, lets run down there and screw a few cows dad. The father says, lets walk down there and screw em all. Next thing I...

I think the point here is ... How much are they supposed to be paying for things they don't want? The original statement was "I personally would have happily paid to see this if it were close enough." What do you guys think. I would happily pay to see this as well .... If I cared to see it at...

What are you saying? You don't have one of those "state of the art" cases with a toilet in it? Ah ... no matter, real pool players wear diapers and none of that is an issue.

I saw rolling the 1 in and getting inside the 3 to open the balls, or roll the 1 in, get straight on the 3, shoot the 3, roll under the 12, and shoot the 8 in the right corner opening the balls . Doing that, the 13 holds the cb.

What he said.

A lot of missed shots are missed from unintentional sidespin. That can happen from not aligning your body, and not hitting the CB along its vertical center. There are a lot of variables involved with proper alignment and seeing the vertical center of the CB. The guaranteed vertical center of...

Now there's a nice diy lathe huh?

I just came from the non pool related forum. A topic there bothered me. You can go there and read the thread about the cop and the uninvited partygoers, but I realize only a very small percentage of our small percentage even browse the other forums. I wanted to share this following video with...

I never heard of a Butt Foul, but I've been exposed to a foul butt plenty of times. :) On a more serious note, I guess I'm old school. I think it is disrespectful to the game and could fall under unsportsmanlike conduct if nothing else. What about rolling the butt under the rail while...

Slow speed in an effort to get better CB control is best practiced playing 14.1 IMO. When you are playing a stop shot, you may have to cue the ball a bit lower at slow speed. There's a fine line between slow controlled speed and dogging it BTW. :thumbup:

New cloth does that. What table did your opponent play on? :)

It's so obviously all fake. The thing that makes me wonder is how people can really believe it is real. They're all fake. Seasons ago I tried to watch that drag racing challenge show. First fake thing, they are at a dragstrip lined up with a chrondek xmas tree sitting right there with the...

Well ... I've been playing for 55 years. Straight pool and 1pkt are neck and neck. I can enjoy an outing of 8 ball now and again. Don't mind a little 4 handed Chicago, but really don't care much for 9 and 10 ball. These days I put most of my effort into peeing without getting any on my...

I said it before, and ill say it again, to train your mind to more naturally feel that feeling you have to afford your brain the opportunity to do so by prolonged exposure. 8 ball and 9 ball aren't the best games to promote that prolonged exposure. That game would be straight pool. :deadhorse:

Liberal sensibility is an oxymoron, plausible only in a utopian fantasy world. Did you notice we ain't in one?

Lots of little things that fall into the category of measuring tools which in most cases are illegal to use. But not these. Here are two, ( not the one I spoke of for caroms) but very obvious, most B players and above would know, but just some examples almost too simple to consider by some...

This is all very true, but I think the word secret is a little dramatized. These things aren't secrets as much as individual methods that may or may not work for the next guy. There are so many little things that they are just too much to catalog in any organized fashion, so as a result...

This is still my favorite secret ... :thumbup:

I couldn't help being curious if cue balls spin in the opposite direction when you hit them down under there in Australia? :confused:
