    Bride arm tension?

    When I see someone in their pool stance, I wonder if I swung a baseball bat at their head, whether they would fall over unconscious or not? If so, then their stance is no good--they need to be turned towards an opportunistic attacker.🤓 What does it matter if you can easily push someone off...

    Quick question about Cut Induced Throw

    Try this experiment: put an object ball 3 feet off an end rail with the cue ball 2 feet from the object ball. Position the balls so that the object ball is a slight cut diagonally into a corner pocket on the far end of the table, so almost straight in. Hit center ball on the cue ball and hit...

    Scammers hijacking accounts

    Every so often it seems that a scammer gets ahold of a known account, then uses the account to try to sell an item that they don't own. So how do you verify that a known account is not a scammer?

    About Diamond system geometry

    Care to explain it? I'm familiar with and practice the three rail kicking system called the "Corner 5 System" and the two rail kicking system called the 'Plus 2 System"; are they THE "Diamond System" or are they A "Diamond System".

    European Open 2025, Sarajevo, March 11-16

    In Vegas, when Filler lost to Grabe after Filler dominated him in the first two sets, Filler seemed to be a very gracious loser, too. That gives some more insight into his character.

    Tip maintenance questions

    Why is short tip life a sign that you are over maintaining your tip? Is it possible that a long tip life is an indication that you aren't maintaining your tip enough? Why isn't a perfect dome the perfect tip shape? How big a gap is okay? In other words, how big/minimal should the flat spot in...

    59” or 60” cues

    Me too: I can add an 8" rear extension to complement my 4" mid cue extension, for a total cue length of 70", and the cue feels great with that setup as well. Short Stop on Pool made a video about cue length for tall players:

    Jayson Shaw’s 832 World Record is Official

    Drop your keys in front of Bobby, then ala John Schmidt, address the cue ball towards the striped ball to the left of the cue ball, then touch the ball frozen to the cue ball with one of your bridge fingers so that it moves away from the cue ball, stand up as if you changed your mind, collect...

    59” or 60” cues

    I use a 4" midcue extension for a total cue length of 62". At some point, I will probably order a 6" mid cue extension to see if that feels even better. A mid cue extension makes a cue more forward balanced than a rear extension. The member blokid makes custom mid cue extensions and takes...

    Best Advice Ever For Straight-In Shots?

    Backspin (as well as a rolling cue ball) and fast speed all reduce the amount of CIT. Presumably, adding some inside english would also reduce whatever little CIT remains because inside spin increases the overall speed of the cue ball surface (the speed towards the ob + the rotational speed...

    Best Advice Ever For Straight-In Shots?

    If negative inside spin is equivalent to outside spin, it looks like for a 1/2 ball hit and fast speed, you need 10% of maximum outside spin to achieve maximum throw in the cut direction. Spelling error:
