I don't play in bars, this is one reason, but what the hell ever happened to simply calling your pocket, and disregarding any specks of lint the ball may run over along the way? I'm sure the ball hit the inside jaw of the short rail too before it fell. Wouldn't that make it a three rail shot...

I'd like to hear the answer to the question posted ... "what size table?"

Fun story to read there Brian. I enjoyed the winter league in southington when I went, I do miss it. Is the Kurt you speak of the same Curt that played in the senior league? Nice guy if it is. :thumbup:

I see nothing wrong with wearing a glove if it helps. I can't seem to get comfortable with a glove. It just seems foreign in my hand, like I want to shake it off. :) But ... your post gave me a great idea. I also have arthritis in my hands. Recently we bought a car that had something I...

Yeah..... Beverly Hills, CA, yeah .... nice stuff there... reeeally nice stufffff. Bet you can buy that whole setup in the Bronx for 18 bucks. :cool:

Hmm, except that I can't really 100% agree on the pool being a game thing .... Man do I agree with everything else you said. :) Pool, is strenuous mentally and physically, and demanding of muscle coordination and execution of fine motor skills. Chess and poker don't require any of that. Where...

Links to support my opinion...... Links to support my opinion. :scratchhead: LMFAO. Quick and dirty is a "saying", it's a freaking saying! HELLO.. ANYBODY HOME IN THERE? Geez ... wtf .... I feel like I'm explaining things to children. The "saying", probably came before your time ...

9 ball has always been just a quick and dirty gambling game. It was designed to be fast, unpredictable, and lucky. Somehow, over the years it morphed into a favorite game for those who play pool, kicking to the curb real pool. If I need to mention what game that is, then those who don't know...

Report this cue as stolen to the police along with the pictures. In the event that it is found, the evidence, with photos may help in having the party in possession return it to its rightful owner.

While I will admit that one pocket does slightly edge out straight pool for my #1 preferred game, straight pool is the game that leaves you in the moment of deep concentration and focus for the longest period of time with the added benefit of leaving the choice of which ball to shoot next...

Good idea, it sure wouldn't hurt. Any additional information is always good to have. I'm curious Joey ... how much straight pool is being played these days? The reason I'm curious is because IMO that is THE game that epitomizes the act of exercising our mind's ability to focus. I don't...

I think you miss the point. No one doubts that CJ ( hi CJ) Is a great player ... the point is, everyone envisions things differently. EVERYONE ... This is what makes the game so demanding and so difficult to teach at an advanced level. Its so impossible to explain what individuals feel...

LOL .. I would, but alas .... CJ would just steal it again like he did with my TOI. :shrug::deadhorse::thud::killingme:

Ah .. yes, but why do we sometimes have poor acceleration ... why do we have lazy cue ball targeting ... and why do we sometimes impart unintentional spin? The bottom line is because we are all a mess in a zillion different ways, and in order to correct any of these things we need to address...

I think there are as many reasons for missing as there are pool players. To find one player that feels, thinks, endures fatigue, shuts out random thoughts, family issues, stance, envisionment, and the other zillion reasons for missing the same as someone else is a longer shot than hitting the...

Thanks for the post. What the heck is that guy doing under the balls? Looks like a caddy placing markers under them. Annoying .... no wonder the Filipinos play so good, with Rome burning all around them all the time ... they get plenty of practice focusing ... Geez ...

You're kidding, right? If that shot / stroke isn't allowed on your table, perhaps you're better off letting your wife sort washed clothes on it instead of playing pool.

One pocket is a game that, IMO is more suited for advanced players. Chess is a game enjoyed by many, and real die hard chess lovers wouldn't say they couldn't watch it because it is too slow or too boring, rather, they enjoy it for what it is. They understand the subtleties. Same with one...

put a piece of painters tape over the cue and call it a day ....

Here... you can send me the extra 400 bucks. :D http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lucasi-LC5-4x8-Brown-Leatherette-Case-Holds-4-Complete-Cues-w-4-Xtra-Shaft-/221391811852?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item338bfaf50c
