I'll just disregard the first paragraph, Sylvain is a great guy and what he does for the sport is fantastic. I won't let anyone tell me otherwise on that part. My practice time not having structure is a problem I noticed and am trying to improve. Will definitely improve when I have a better...

Break & ran 3 racks until now.

That was a great post, thanks. If memory serves until then, I will try to update this thread in about a year to give the current state at that time. Also, what is great where I live is that there is a pool hall about 5 minutes from my home where I can pay 100$ per month to play 24/7, it's a...

I don’t aim to make a living out of pool though, I really don’t care about the payouts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

None of my answers are meant to come with a negative connotation. If that is the case, I am sorry, I was actually aiming for a more confident approach. I guess I should mention I usually speak French, English is not my main language. That might be the source of some the misunderstanding here...

Unless I don't know myself as well as I think I do, I'd say I didn't stick with previous stuff just because in the end it didn't appeal that much to me and I just wanted something to do with my free time. For pool it is definitely different. Work days can't end fast enough so I can go back to...

I answered in a post a big higher why I aim to be a pro pool player. I'd say, from the comments I am getting, that I have sufficient talent. I've been told a few times that I will become very good.

A few questions: How old are you? 23 Can you afford to be without a job for the next few years? No, but I do have a lot of free time after my work day / during the weekends. Can you afford to be without a "better half" during this time? Better half is actually supporting me and coming...

23 years old. As to why, that's kind hard to answer accurately. A sum of small things I'd say. I love being the best I can be at something, even though I don't really think there is such a thing as individual limit, I believe almost anyone can be at the international pro level given enough...

Sylvain Grenier and Fred Lapointe. Here in Quebec we have a system very similar to Fargo ratings. Uses the same system they use for ranking chess players. At a particular score, you are officially ranked pro in Quebec. Like I said, very similar to Fargo ratings, so if the system ranks you as a...

I have been playing/practicing since the beginning of july, so roughly 2 months and a half. I have taken a few lessons with the pro who owns the pool hall where I play and plan to take quite a few more. Practicing is kinda a loose term for me. I usually play a few racks, let's say for 1 hour...

9 on the break is a win, but gotta call the 9 after that? Seems weird don't you think?

So, I recently started playing the incredible game that is pocket billiards (july) and quickly developped a great interest forthe game. I am not aiming for anything lower than pro-level skill and was wondering what would be a realistic target to aim for? The pro who owns the pool hall where I...

This ps-bunch-of-numbers dude is obviously a pro and we should all listen to his wisdom. ... Actually, I think my IQ and pool knowledge dropped by quite a bit just from reading his posts. The things I read on here sometimes....

Oh, good to know. Thanks!

Which website is it worth paying for to have access to most events streams? U.S. Open, Mosconi Cup, World Cup of Pool, etc Thanks! Sam

I am pissed. From this day forward, I am playing exclusively call shot 10 ball.

Orcollo ran that rack in 3.7 seconds!

That's what I'm thinking too. Thankfully they didn't seem to argue too much about it.

That stroke for the 1 on rack 10.... Wow Shane is on fire.
