You know you're a pool geek when you look at this pic and what came to mind is... hmmm looks like Russian Billiards.

I promise these tips will not make your cue drunk LOL. The reason I use alcohol is because it drys out better for me.

The Triumph tip does turn the vodka yellow, but I'm not willing to try it. Besides, I have to keep reusing the same shot glass of vodka because my wife will get mad if I keep "wasting" it. LOL

If you are like me and you prefer to play with a hard tip (my favorite layered tip is the Talisman Pro Hard), then check this out. Take a Triumph tip (made by Tweeten and comes with a red pad attached) and soak it for 24 hours (I prefer Vodka or Tequila :-)). Next, press it in a vice for 24...

Here is the problem. Earl has tiger blood. All jokes aside, I do have a bi-polar son and what I have seen and read about Earl just does not fit in with that diagnosis. It must be something else and I would have to lean towards maybe a slight form of narcissism. Except instead of fearing shame...

Agreed. Either way is a pretty shot. ;-)

5 Position Shot Set up the same shot and try to leave the cue ball at each position as indicated by the balls 1-5. 1 and 2 require draw, the rest involve spin and speed. <iframe src="http://CueTable.com/P/Player/?@4AAfj4BATY4CCMC1DAcU1EAWj3HGoX4PAQC3cGoX3ccIp4kAQC3kFaL4qNby&ZZ@"...

OK, Here is another fun one... This routine is for position and speed. 1. Throw 3 balls out then run them without the cue ball going to any rail on all shots. 2. Throw 3 balls out then run them with the cue ball going to 1 rail (only) on all shots. 3. Throw 3 balls out then run them with the...

Practice Thread 10-Way shot I'm probably not the first to think of this, but I have discovered that it helps a lot with shot making and position. Set up a shot. It can be any shot with some amount of cut angle. Now, shoot this same shot 10 times using medium speed on all of the shots. Shoot...

OK, So is there some easy bank I'm missing here? P.S. Thanks for the advice Aaron, I never thought about the fact that the cue ball is actually under the rail. Makes sense.

The other day I had this situation during a 9-Ball game. The 8 and cue ball are perfectly frozen on the rail. I tried to pocket the 8 and draw back for the 9. Problem is that I completely missed the 8 and after many attempts after the game, I discovered that it is virtually impossible to make...

Evel Knievel owned a motorcycle dealership in my town at one time. Moses lake "dunes" is THE place to ride! RIP Evel.

It needs some work, but it is real slate and has a solid frame. This same table runs around $600 new. I can fix it up for $150 total cost. It's gonna look great in my man cave!

Talisman Pro Hard - plays perfect on my OB-1 w/o the carbon fiber pad. Solid hit with lots of action.

Honestly, what kind of "lesson" are you going to learn in 1 to 3 racks of pool, especially when you are the opponent sitting in the chair the whole match. I would be too upset to learn anything. Nothing sucks like losing a match you never shot in. Just sayin.

I agree with Zeek... Joel Hercek http://www.hercek.com/ He was taught by Burton Spain.

OK, Time to brainstorm ideas that will help to reduce the occurrence of fake cues and cue theft. My idea is for the cue maker to embed a tiny chip (same one that the vets use on animals) into the butt end of the cue. The serial number of the chip can then be archived for authenticity and/or...

If you are like me and don't have access to a table with tight pockets, here are a few shots that help me with accuracy. Basically, you are using extra object balls to "block" part of the path to the pockets. Practice making each shot without touching the blockers. The better you get, the...
