Oh and sorry I’m writing so much. If you want to learn 14.1 or 1 pocket or 3 cushion you’re not going to find many who will play you unless you are already are semi-competent in said discipline. I don’t know about caroms. But Most playing 14.1 and one pocket are usually decent players at those...

Even in late 90’s. It cost me at least $100 a night to “learn” something. That was mostly a reiteration of how to lose.😂😂 And is a reinforcement that the only way to really get better is practice more. I won’t play if not for something unless we are friends. You better be throwing up at least...

In all honesty maybe your final backstroke is going back a little farther than your warmup strokes causing a bit of body movement. Just a thought. Try just stroking on your warm up strokes. Don’t focus on a final stroke. See if it still happens. 1-2-3-4(hit) instead of 1-2-3-pause-hit

My best advice. Stand up. Say “f off!” Reset and drain it…………Then tell that monster next time they want to mess with you they better give you a happy ending……

I got the real answers on a quick google search. I’ll rest my case. For now……….

I don’t know. When you play a corner to side bank with a natural cb roll does the cb go in the side pocket on the rasson? You have to play 1/2” up for a Diamond to go. But at the same time you could argue a Diamond really does bank true and say a GC short-EDIT:long(not short). Just not in...

No. The only reason I stick with elkmaster is because back when I started playing break cues weren’t as popular. Most would just grab a house cue off the wall to break with. They usually had elkys on them back then. Or if traveling light you just used a house cue to break and play with. So that...

I’m jealous. Didnt make it and still got charged for my hotel reservation! Hey pooldawg8 you selling milk duds? Someone mentioned them in the tip thread. I’ll take a few off your hands if you have some to sell.😉

Man you’ve been playing a few months and are already an APA 4. Wish some people on my team would put in that much effort instead of just thinking they will get better without any. Congrats. I’m no help on break cue tips. I’m an odd one out who prefers an elkmaster to break with.

I’ve never even seen it used. Not even once. I think it’s more the fact of not a lot of players having their own equipment to practice on. You put a hole in the cloth at the hall. That’ll cost you $50.(kinda like straightline stated). Hell I’m the only person I’ve ever seen use a full masse shot...

I’ve never dealt with a finish like that. Maybe had a Dufferin house cue get sticky once or twice though. Not sure if some had that. Usually was cured with a quick hand wash. As far as sandpaper and microcloth go though. Some people will use that stuff when they replace tips for people. I...

Most players believe squirt is a straight line snookered. But squirt is the cbs initial movement to the left or right(which really is an arc) after contact but then after the initial movement(squirt) is where the real arc kicks in(swerve). 🤫 I read the whole thing before too snookered. Dq was...

Hey, all I said was it just seems too complicated not that it wouldn’t work. On the website, it says that it dampens vibrations, which makes sense.

They should just make a breaker you pump up like a BB gun. 10 pumps for 20mph break.

Man. Now I gotta look up something.

That makes no sense. Seems like it would work against you. It is the opposite of a corked bat. I wonder if they have different viscosity liquids in the breaker and the player. When cue is moving forward the bearings will be moving backwards not forward for max power. Corked bat is increasing...

Well here you go. These are the same cue. Well they are 2 different cues. One is refinished the other is all yellowed and looks shabby. The refinished one looks so much better and the other will be refinished eventually. They don’t even look like the same wood, but they are. I usually use the...

I used to play my best all the time for $$$ annd tournaments and that wasn’t always good enough. I always put it all out there win or lose. When playing friends I never really played my best though. Not fair them racking constantly. That wasn’t fun. Thats changed over time. Now I am about...

Maybe you are hitting to center pocket on all your side shots. Work on playing the whole side pocket from center. Then when one is tighter you won’t worry about it as much. I threw this one out there a few months ago. Set up a ball straight into the side from maybe 1’ or so out on a line from...
