    how would you all play this shot?

    If the safety is as hard as the shot, go for the shot. The pay off is better. I would not play safe on this shot at all. Go after it with a cut (preferred) or the bank.

    Can you overcut an object ball frozen to the rail?

    Can it be done? I would have to say yes.. it can be done. To do what you're suggesting, you would have to hit the cue ball fairly hard, to dig into the rail enough to over cut the ball, but again, it can be done. If you over cut it, but hit it softer, the cue ball will end up kicking...

    Fake Instroke?

    It may be an older Instroke. When Instroke first started making cases, there wasn't the blue dot. Then the guys that started the company split up, and there were two groups making Instroke cases for a short time. The Instroke logo with the blue dot is from the 'team' that did not go with...

    Who would you rather have on your team?

    Can we just play short handed? All kidding aside.. I don't know of many position players that can't make a shot when need be.

    Funny pic/gif thread...

    So the number I picked was 2.444444444444444444444444444444 I multiplied it by 3. giving me 7.33333333333333333333333333333333. I added 3 giving me 10.33333333333333333333333333333333333 I multiplied that by 3, giving me 31. Adding those together.. 4. Wow!!!! It's amazing. It really is my...

    BH grip pressure?

    If you have a tight or semi-tight grip, can you grip the cue exactly the same tightness every time? It's really hard to be exactly *THIS* tight every time. On the other hand, if you're relaxed, and aren't gripping the cue, but rather letting it lay in your hand, *THIS* is repeatable and very...

    Need help..

    The OP stated they are wanting to improve aim and stroke with the end result being improving a 9-ball game. Nine ball is all about moving the CB around where you need it to set up the next shot. Snooker is NOT about moving the cue ball around much. At the beginning of snooker, it's about...

    How Do You Jerk the Rock Back???

    After reading most of the posts here, I find it amazing that there was only one post that eluded to what one does when they do a 'good' power draw. Big Perm stated that you needed a smooth stroke.. Which is true. I would go a step farther, and say a relaxed smooth stroke, with power. If...

    Question. Went from a soft tip to a 9 layer medium (talisman or moori not sure which)

    Went from a Moori medium, to a Kamui hard, and loved it. I can't recall the last time I mis-cued, and I like to spin my rock. Have never liked soft tips.

    Shoot or duck?

    I'm not shooting the shot the way you have it, but I am shooting it. It's getting cut down the rail, and letting the cue ball come back two side rails and shooting the 9 in the pocket that's at the bottom right. That cut shot should not be a problem. It's less angle than a spot shot with the...

    Is there more deflection on hard inside english than hard outside?

    So.. How does the cue ball know when you're using inside english? I mean.. inside english is relative to the shot. If you're cutting a ball to the left, and using left hand english, that makes it inside. If you're cutting a ball the right, and using right hand english, that makes IT inside...

    Longer cue

    Something to consider on a cue much longer than 60 inches, is that you would have trouble getting a case that it fits in. I'm sure there are some that will, but many are designed for cues 58 - 60 inch cues. Just sayin...

    Stroke training devices . Help please

    Here's the thing... It's not about if your stroke is going straight or not, or if you can draw a ball around the table.. If you are needing help with a stroke, or developing a stroke, you'll need to go to an instructor that will help you understand the different parts of the stroke. Once you...
