    Tournament Advice

    I think that is right because the year I played both Nick and Harold (two different events) was the same year they went to the worlds. And that was probably two years ago.

    Practicing Perfection

    One drill I use with some of my past student was using an 81/2 by 11 paper. Draw a target on it and aim for centre and see where you land. You can also flip the paper and draw a triangle to simulate real play where you need to land in a safe zone. Also, using a larger paper is easier to keep it...

    I don't think so last year I think it was Harold Rousseau and Nick Guimond. I could be wrong. That could have been two years ago. Time flies. But yeah top two finishers get to go to the Worlds paid.

    Wherever you like. Make the OB and get the CB on the napkin 10 times in a row then move the OB up to the two diamond on the same rail etc...until you have moved around the whole table then move the OB from the rail out one diamond and do it again.

    Practicing Perfection

    Here is a practice drill I read in the Nick Varner 54 Drills package: Set up the OB slightly off the rail on the side rail one diamond. Take the CB and place it wherever you like. Place a dinner napkin on the bottom rail 2 diamond and practice shooting that shot and landing on the napkin. Move...

    I know for a fact that John is coming. His sponsor is a friend of mine (www.thewinningstroke.com). I heard Tyler is coming and I would imagine Edwin will as well.

    Friendly money games and what to play for.

    Ok by now we can all assume you get the message that the others are idiots. Good. Now I just wanted to touch on the comment about a friendly bet...a friendly bet is not something we can easily agree on. For example, you take two guys like Fatboy and Jay H and ask what is friendly for them and it...

    Tournament Advice

    It's mind over matter. I don't mind. It don't matter. I have found that staying focused on the game and paying special attention to what you drink is important. As well sitting as often as possible allows you to stay strong and relaxed.

    Which do you prefer?

    Yer an idiot. Once again a learning or constructive thread gets infected by the cplayer virus. I am really surprised you (cplayer) know any game of doubles. Who can put up with you long enough to play even one game?

    Canadian Nine Ball Tour

    Moron. He have lots of igloos. They are filled with the cold hard cash left here by guys like you who have more mouth than game. Come on up, bring your dough and lets see who is left in the cold. A hole.

    Pro players strokes vs. intermediate/advanced strokes

    You can easily compare pro pool players strokes to a pro golfer. Although many can look very different at the various points of the stroke/swing the one unifying factor is how they are at the delivery point. All pros, in either sport, are perfect or nearly so, in the impact zone. Not only are...

    break cue question: new Gulyassy tip/ferrule

    You might feel speed equalls power, but I will then ask you this. Which hurts more, getting hit by a bicycle doing 40mph or a truck doing 35mph? I have heard the debate, and been a part of it, speaking to the point that with the Lightning Bolt that because it weighs so little and has less mass...

    break cue question: new Gulyassy tip/ferrule

    Since I have no vested interest in the sales of any cue by any cue maker but I have played a few of the questioned cues I will voice my opinion. For about 5 years I played a Predator BK and then had a shaft referruled with a phenolic tip/ferrule. It hit great. Much better, IMHO, than a BK2...

    All Around Gambling Champion

    Ok, here is my take. Everyone starts with "x" amount of chips. First to 8th is worth cash. The cash you win is what you bring to the pool table. Then the pool is played like a ring game. When you finish you have to take your placing as a strike against your golf score. 8th place adds 8 strokes...

    Laughing about the general opinion of "new posters" playing abilities

    We broke even. Like I said we only played two sets. I didn't know who he was so we just played $100 sets race to 9. Final scores were 9-7, 9-7. He plays well. Not as strong, IMO, as say Dany Hewitt or Francis Crevier. We were playing 9 ball. I haven't played snooker in years. I used to be able...

    Laughing about the general opinion of "new posters" playing abilities

    I don't know about 20 but Klatt is young. Under 30. I played Jason Williams before. He plays well. Too bad we only had time for 2 sets before the bar closed.
