    A little off

    For reference, I'm an APA 6 and in my 50s (old dog, new tricks etc.) and play mostly on 7 foot tables. I noticed a few months ago that - especially on long shots - I was missing shots.I was missing slightly to the right of the pocket which means I was hitting the OB slightly to the left -...

    Working with APA 4 before Vegas

    I've got a friend in the APA who's only been playing for a year and a half and has moved up from a 3 to a 4 (much deserved!). He is an excellent potter and has a natural feel for position. I'd like to spend some time with him on defense play and would like to make it a game so that it's not...

    Progressive Pot Idea

    APA 5 - How much weight would you give?

    Hypothetical. Race to 7. 9 ball. You set the stakes. I'm asking for one on the wire, all the breaks and the last 3 plus one additional push during each rack. What's your bet and your speed. Just asking :wink:

    APA 8 Ball Proposition Bet

    You play APA as an honest 7. We're playing on a 7ft bar box. We rack a nine ball rack but with the 8 in the center spot, you break. If the 8 ball falls, it gets spotted. After the break, the 9 comes off the table and you get ball in hand. The bet is: if you can run out (call shot, no...

    Making Drills More Interesting

    I hate drills. I lose focus so fast and it simply feels useless. Today I was watching a TAR Podcast and heard SVB say that he practiced 4 hours a day and 6 or more when getting ready for a tournament! Not surprising considering his success and that it's his job. So I got to thinking that if...
