Atlas Billiards supply, fiber pads.

I agree. I usually know why I missed. It's when I am certain I made the ball, and yet I miss that I normally can tell I may have mis-aimed. Usually it's one of two things. I'm not focusing on where I'm aiming, but focusing on where I'm wanting the cue ball to go, or I don't hit my finish...

Well.... Mother's Day is not a good day to run a tournament. :) The field at Rusty's was small, (22) but strong. The day started well, but a little later than expected. We moved the sign up times back a little to allow those that wanted to get in, to be able to do so, and have a good...

As far as the distance between the tables. Go to your favorite pool room, and measure the distance between their tables. 5 feet would be plenty. The reason you need this room around a regular table is due to walls. You can't back stroke through the walls. You can back stroke over...

Russian pyramid!! Played with 15 white billiard sized balls, and a dark redish black 'cue' ball. Object of the game is to score 8 points. Point can be scored by pocketing a ball, much the same way as pocket billiards, or caroming the cue ball into a pocket. When you carom the cue ball in, you...

For me.. I see a line that I want the object ball to roll on coming from the pocket, under the object ball and past it. I then see where the cue ball would be on that line if the cue ball were up against the OB. I don't actually look for a spot on the OB, just the line under the OB. This may...

Koop- I aim using a ghost ball type method. I can visualize where the cue ball will be sitting on the felt, when it's in-line with the object ball and pocket, and that's what I aim at. A spot on the cloth. I then roll my cue ball across that spot, and magic happens. Some people are not able...

To put it simply, your eyes should be looking at the 'aim point' for the object ball. The 'aim point' is where ever you aim. Be it ghost ball, a spot on the OB, the edge of the OB, etc. The 'eye pattern', which has been stated in a couple of the replies refers to the patter your eye take to...

As they are both made by Aramith, I don't believe there is a difference. I could be mistaken, but I've played with the regular green emblemed balls and they've worked just fine.

I was not aware Aramith red circles would come out of the cueball slot on a valley bar table. Or did you not see that part of the OP's request?

What he said. Here's the site. Can buy it here, but you may be able to find it cheaper some place else. First site a ran across that sold them.

I'm going to play pool. I'm going to pay for my table time. I'm going to purchase something to drink. But.. I guess that's not good enough for you. Is it? What a nit.

I guess I should go the f*** home too. Sorry that you're wanting to drive paying customers away from businesses that can use the revenue.

I'd play safe. Draw the cue ball in behind the 7, and play the 2 ball, 3 rails over by the 3 ball. If you get ball in hand, then it's an easy break out. If you don't get ball in hand, then you'll have to see where you end up and what your options are at that point. I guess others see the...

Posting a picture of the tip may help identifying it.

A race to two? Really? So what happens if you alternate the breaks, and Guy 1 breaks and runs, then Guy 2, breaks, comes up dry, and Guy 1 runs a second rack. Guy 2 only made one stroke, on a shot that has a lot to do with luck. Do you make a ball, and do you have a shot at something? And...

However.... if you go to NPR, you'll find a high percentage of them on the right...

There has been a lot of discussion on different aiming methods lately. This sort of seems cylindric, and will probably die down in a few weeks. However... these threads got me to thinking about some things people have stated in these posts about their aiming methods, and there abilities versus...
