    Team mate question

    I haven't read any responses, but my first reaction is to get another player... i know that MANY players do not like to have their rhythm broken by a time out....and there are ways you can make things easier for certain players: * Call time outs early in the preshot routine (i.e. not when they...

    Av. APA Skill Level?

    I don't know...i have played against and with plenty of women in APA, and I think the 'Any Given Sunday' rule applies... 'Anyone can beat anyone else in any given match' By that I mean when you see a certain player have a great match (i.e. play above their skill level), whether they are a...

    What is it? A shark, a strategy or something else?

    To answer Joey's question, IMO it sounds like the guy squirming in his chair as if he's about to conceed and when in the shooter's line of sight is guilty of sharking -- whether intentional or not. This seems to be a visual distration to me -- similar to shifting a cue or some other type of...

    Hardest 2 or 3 ball runout situation

    I'll bite... This is the first one that comes to mind. //[Edit] I was thinking toughest to run with ball in hand. http://CueTable.com/P/?@3Havb1IbUb@

    Referee controversy during SBE men's pro final match?

    Agreed...and that the eight banked off the long rail into the side. That can't happen if you hit the one first.

    Is the one-rail kick too low percentage to warrant consideration?

    High Praise for John Schmidt - Player Review

    I'm pretty excited to see the possibility of a rematch look more realistic, but I hope this doesn't go down on Wednesday... Then I'd have to take an extra two days off work just to sweat it! :-)

    My Combined Training System

    You can add me to the list of people interested in trying your training routine. I like having some structure to my practice sessions (whenever I'm actually able to spend time at the table). Without struture, I usually end up just throwing balls onto the table and trying to run out, which...

    The New OB Classic shaft - Test Drive - It's HOT STUFF!

    Royce, I know OB makes a break cue, but I was wondering for those who might break with their playing cues... Is breaking with the OB Classic shaft NOT recommended for any reason -- i.e. is it likely to damage the shaft? Thanks for your replies in this thread. I can't wait to try out the...

    Diamond System explained - In old Disney cartoon

    I'm still a little confused on the carom natural angle splitting the two balls...can't the cue ball take more than one path to the point where it would be touching both object balls? [I tried to illustrate what I'm talking about on a Wei table but failed miserably]

    Diamond System explained - In old Disney cartoon

    I have seen this video before, but I have never fully understood how the 3-rail system works. Can anyone explain how you figure out what 'natural angle' is necessary to hit the ball coming off the 3rd rail? I didn't pick up how the natural angle is determined, and this seems critical in...

    8ball How would you play this?

    If my opponent is a strong player, I would probably try something aggresive... Place the cue ball near the 13 and cut the 1 into the 9. My goals would be to pocket the 9, leave the 1 by the lower left pocket, and run the cue ball into the 6 -- hopefully leaving the cue ball near where the 6 is...
