Because of issues of renovation, coincidentally at both of the places I shoot at, I haven't shot in a few days. But here is how I've decided to go about my practice routine: For one month, I will solely devote my time at the table to a well-rounded regimen of drills. At least half of these...

The decision rests upon who's more in "the zone" today. I'm hoping it's Tony.

I could be wrong, but I think he means those two 20 minute practice sessions as being set aside for drills, but that I should also be playing in addition to the drills. Anyways, some great suggestions guys. I like the idea of continuing practice play as well. I'm an idiot when it comes to...

If I came off as braggadocious when I said I could string 2 racks of 9 ball (and no early makes on the 9) then that certainly wasn't intended. I know I have a ways to go and that's why I'm wanting to do these drills. I'm also committing to them with the sole intention of getting better as a...

General, but with a special focus on weaknesses. For specific position play drills involving repetition (where the cue and object balls always start at a fixed location using paper hole reinforcers), I will be honing in on positional shots which are challenging and on the edge of my abilities...

I pose this question, respectfully, solely to experienced instructors who have had a wealth of time with students (like 10 years or more). For the past couple of years I have wanted to just set aside a month for deliberate practice and I've finally decided to go through with it beginning...

You should always be in it to win it. Never relent on playing your best and let him learn the hard way. Hopefully he'd be the kind of person who'd use disappointment as a means of motivation. If not, it's not your problem.

I agree, I think it'd be hella distracting. Particularly how the light would react on your bridge arm and cue. I think I'll stick to the hole reinforcers I use every now and then.

It's too tight when you're sacrificing personal enjoyment, which is, of course, subjective. I would love having a table like the one shown in the video, but only for accuracy practice and to develop greater pattern planning. For me, one of my great loves in pool is advanced positional plays...

And this coming from the guy who initiated off-color comments in this thread. You were griping about the money added without, quite obviously, realizing it was a calcutta tournament. I'm sure poor old Skyler spent tens of thousands of dollars by flying first class from Kentucky, staying in the...

If only genetics were that simple. Tony Watson screwed the pooch. What an unbelievable talent. Jennifer Baretta began playing at 27 years old. She has gotten the most out of her talent.

Where before taxes 25k means anything? Now you're just talking like an idiot.

You're right realkingcobra, it's captivating!

Thanks Terry, buying it now.

Bigtruck is streaming this event, tonight through Sunday. Does anybody know who will be playing in it? I can't find this info anywhere. I'm wondering what big name pros or top-notch barbox players will be in it. Thanks!

Tempted to buy the pass, but the lack of a player list is scaring me off. Doesn't need include big-name pros for me to buy. Just needs to have a fair amount of top-notch bartable players (like Clint Freeman level) for me to buy.

I have guys in my area who scoff at barboxes, yet none of them are willing to gamble me on any size table. It makes me wonder how many of the barbox haters here are actual "players."

I began playing mid-2010. For the first 2 years or so I was almost strictly playing on 9-footers. I would bemoan barboxes and consider them child's play. Yet, when I hurt my shooting shoulder I found the shorter shooting distances to be much easier on it. When I started playing on barboxes...

Too bad you put the limit at $200, otherwise you could get yourself a Predator sneaky. They usually have neon green or orange on them and are emblazoned with Predator logos on the butt and shaft. Soooooo sneaky. I was shooting with a Player's sneaky before I got my Mezz. I swear that thing...

Sure you might think you'd be demonstrating great integrity, but what about the integrity of the game? The rules are the rules, right?
