I seem recall from reading something years ago that the most significant difference between the genders was their perception and processing of spacial relationships and that boys, playing more ball sports and stuff like that, develop better skills at tasks like that. IOWs, men see the...

Maybe it's more an issue of matching up. You can get in the grease all you want but you have to know your limitations. And IMO, at a certain point, the gap between some players is bigger than they estimate. IOWs, the gap at the higher levels of play is exponential and not what you encounter...

He may have. But... he has never released -- in spite of a serious financial proffer -- an unedited recording of his run for a thorough examination. Yes, the BCA reviewed it but it has never been given the same level of scrutiny that Shaw's runs have. Not only would I be looking for fouls...

I think... one of the biggest mistakes instructors -- and self-imagined instructors -- make is believing that one size fits all. So much depends on your individual body, what feels comfortable, how much time you have to play, and what your aspirations are that spouting absolutes is...

Over spin at medium speed will do it, especially on newer cloth. The actual angle was probably a little less. Lou Figueroa bigger pockets will help but not essential

Since we're sharing stories... I was practicing on the pit table at The Break across The River from STL and Justin walked in and asked if I wanted to play some cheap 1pocket. This would have been like 15 years ago so he was in his early 20's. I said sure and we did $20 a game. Right about...

yeah, but… he’s still clueless. And I disagree, we are not all equals here. The clueless stand apart, lol. Lou Figueroa

Obviously, you are next to clueless and unaware of Stu's credentials. Lou Figueroa

*This* is what I see. There was a pretty good sized event at my PR this past weekend and I was kinda shocked to see how high up in the air so many players had their grip. I mean it wasn't just a wee bit of elevation, the slope was way up there. Anywhos, I was surprised. I've always known it...

I know what I see almost everyday -- just wondering if it is more common. Lou Figueroa

Roll dem bones. Your cues might go with you, or... Lou Figueroa how much do you care? or, even better: how much are they worth?

As regular readers here know, like forever, I haven’t played competitive 9ball or even 8ball in years, don’t even own a jump cue. Now, should the young lady want to try some 1pocket I guess I would be open to that discussion. Lou Figueroa

Never been an Archer fan, actually kinda the opposite. Just stating my opinion. Lou Figueroa

Apparently not good enough to beat Archer in his dotage, lol. Lou Figueroa

Dan't matter. Given his depth of knowledge, experience, and talent he could be in a walker and still win. Lou Figueroa

Sure. Lou Figueroa

He can crush her at will. Lou Figueroa

Years ago someone queried: when it comes to pool, what is heart? I said: Heart is being able to play your usual game under extraordinary circumstances. Lou Figueroa

Interesting to read the comments on this. The truth is not everyone can appreciate a well written haiku and its simple, subtle, insightful lines; or maybe see the light in a Sargent portrait; or just be able to know that you don't know what you don't know. But do you know what? If you're a...
