    Racking 9 ball.....

    Look at the sequence I indicated in the rack. The first part was a joke. Wow. I had to spell that one out eh. Sorry Gerry. The sequence to create the hardest runout possible for your opponent is what I indicated in the cuetable diagram and the CB is supposed to be placed on the opposite side it...

    Racking 9 ball.....

    Very loose? The one ball in the 9's spot? Or this way given the opponent breaks from the right side. I just noticed the CB is on the left side. Switch that. http://CueTable.com/P/?@3AALW4BBjO4CBJk3DBjO3ECXx3FBJl4GAEc4HCQA3IAMB1PXFW@

    new preaditor

    Send Steve at www.thewinningstroke.com a PM or visit his website for a price. He has a great feature which allows you to speak to a "representative" which for now is Steve and he can deal with you direct. I don't know many, if any, Predator dealers that would consider dealing their prices over a...

    9 Ball Ghost ??

    Another fun thing I used to do with the ghost races was spot the ghost in the race. This will give you the feeling of playing a top pro and they started with a small run on you. Once you can consistantly beat the ghost race to 7 even by a margin of 3 or more start spotting up. At my best I was...

    Differences between A, B, and C players?

    Blackjack recently got me into the 12 ball ghost. I find that for whatever reason it plays easier than the 10 ball ghost. I get better spreads off the snap and tend to make more balls on the break then I do breaking 10 ball. Last week I played a bit of the 12 ball ghost and put together a 4 pack...

    Differences between A, B, and C players?

    My god you make me laugh! I have personally seen Snorks beat the ghost race to one at least once. That three ball ghost with BIH is tough on him!

    Differences between A, B, and C players?

    This may be a silly question, but by "beating the ghost" what length of a race is the general consensus? I play the ghost fairly often and like to see what others consider the standards for being a certain class player but I never know if I am doing the same things. I race the ghost to 7 usually...

    John Morra?

    John is better than Ronnie IMO. I have played both. John is playing very strong and getting stronger all the time. He is totally capable of getting out of his bracket.

    R. Abbink

    If you want the low down on Rachael ask Jay Helfert. She speaks very highly of him and I would imagine he would say the same of her. She is a lot of fun and plays well. Most importantly she is a blast to drink with and has tons of great road stories.

    My fun show stopper!

    The way I do it is perfectly legal. The bridge is holding my cue and I prop the rest up using my left hand. See...legal.

    Long jacked up draw shots

    First to the long shot, practice staying loose and smooth. Try not to hit it too hard or it jumps and you lose the spin. Lots of smooth follow through. Practice the shot as close to the rail as you can without needing to jack up and get the confidence in how strong you need to stroke to get the...

    My fun show stopper!

    Snapshot, Yes, sorry I mean a bridge. I used to play snooker and just got used to calling it a rest. The shot isn't that tough once you learn how to support the "bridge" ;) and keep it solid and stable. Snorks, Wish you had been there!:D

    My lists of greatest players

    I am surprised that player of the decade Johnny Archer didn't make it into the 9 ball category. I am not nearly as knowledgeable as most on this site, however, given that part of the criteria for decision was what they brought to the game I haven't seen many players known the world over like...

    My fun show stopper!

    Ok, so I played a lot this weekend, just not very well. That said I have to tell everyone about a fun shot I hit in my match. Match was squared 6-6 race to 11. I broke and ran two racks and in the third a parked the CB in the middle but had a blocker between the CB and the one straight in to...

    Lightning Bolt J/B... Have you tried it?

    Around here a number of players have those cues. It is definitely a personal choice. I can't stand it. Way too light. But that is because of how I deliver my break. A super light cue doesn't match my break style. Other players, however, use almost exclusively wrist and snap a break without using...
