H-mmm... I'll be 64 in another month. I'm overweight, diabetic, have bad vision, a bad back, flat feet, and equilibrium problems stemming from a bad case of Lyme meningitis several years ago. I have raging carpal tunnel in both hands, rotator cuff damage in both shoulders, nerve impingement...

She always plays great. She's one of the most consistant and unflappable players on the scene today. 12 minutes until post time. Let's go get it, Karen! :smile:

Maybe you are right about me. Fact is, though, I'd rather live in a Bourbon St. gutter with Duke than to spend 2 minutes in a pool room with you.

What a foul thing to say to one of the most standup guys here on AZB! You are seriously in need of a padded cell and a straight jacket.

Gee, what would it take for me to get the same offer? I've been pretty good about CTE. Do I need to be a first-class dick like Rich? ;)

Oh, I'm sure a few of these lads will test him a bit. Lots of luck, though, Zuglan's TOUGH! ;)

There were three cancellations. Allen Hopkins was one, don't know who the other ones are. I'm really curious to see if any Mosconi hopefuls will get the call from the waiting list.

Ha, ha! I wish I was half that good. No, Upstate Al from AZB TV is streaming it. Pretty interesting. I've always wondered what went on at these things. Just finished with it, but play on the stream starts at 4PM EST. Hope lots of folks here can watch it.

Anybody else listening in on the TS players' meeting? Among other racking rules, Zuglan said he will assign a neutral racker if he sees fit, and in addition, he will levy a $50 charge to each player for the use of the racker. Hopefully that will put an end to a lot of the racking nonsense that...

Interesting. Well, it sure works OK whatever it is I'm doing. :) I know I'm not deliberately pivoting to CCB, just kinda using a CTE perception to allow me to easily see the correct shot line. From there I just sort of slide into the line and shoot along that. Not very scientific, I know...

At around the 9 minute mark in the support video linked to below, Stan talks about the CTE offset. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1Psy5hOJT0 He says that he originally taught just the CTE line and had a hard time explaining exactly where the offset was. Can anyone explain how the sweep was...

Huh? Did you watch the whole match, or just his first break? Funny, what I saw was a great player in dead punch. Lining up, getting down on the shot, one or two stroking the shot, making the ball, and getting perfect shape for the next one. People will look for (and find) what they think is...

I'll second Merrell. Most comfortable shoes ever for my hard-to-fit wide, flat feet. They seem to be the shoe of choice for nurses (my daughter wears only Merrells on the job), and those gals (and guys) spend a lot of time on their feet. Orthotic inserts may work for some (though they won't...

I do just that about twice year. I start with a thorough brushing, then I use a very powerful shop vac made by Fein. I use a brushless head designed for vacuuming up water. It has relief vents on the ends (otherwise the suction might pull the cloth loose) and it really gets a lot of chalk out...

We all have our pet theories, but it's nice to show the data to support them.;) In Dr. Dave's video about throw and cling effects, he actually roughens up the CB and OB contact areas with sandpaper (time = 10:50), and there is negligible effect on OB throw due to this treatment. Even adding...

I also feel that watching the top players gives my game a big boost. Maybe not a whole ball, though. That would mean I was playing twice as good. Is there such a thing as 1/4 ball better?

Jesus, do I have to start using ENGLISH's "green text for sarcasm"? Lol Just playing off Johnny T's thread about Earl needing to call it quits. Yeah, Earl was playing like God tonight, without a doubt. ;)

.975... Is that good? I dunno, I think maybe it's time for Earl to hang up his arm weights.

It was worse. It was like Earl's give-up mode.

Sounds easy enough. In reality, though, after a short time this grip creates tension in the muscles in the web of my hand no matter how hard I try to relax. Too bad, because I can stroke real straight with this grip. Interestingly, I went down to the table a little while ago and tried...
