    Jump Shot Rule

    David, I wondered the same thing. I thought it was illegal also. My research shows us both wrong in today's game. http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=353230

    A View From the Rail - Jump Shots

    Thanks guys for your input. It was just such a revelation to me after thinking for many years that you needed to hit above the center line parallel to the table. Maybe it was that way once but I agree that isn't the case anymore. I would still like to see a super slo-mo on Earl's hit though...

    A View From the Rail - Jump Shots

    So...I'm at the rail wondering how the heck does Earl Strickland get such height on his jump shot using a full cue, especially in the olden days when he would jump with his playing cue. So...I dug up some video of his jump shot, and although I'm not sure, even though his cue is elevated it...

    New Movie in the Works

    So my buddy and opponent, $200 Jim, tells me, while I am down on a shot, "So did you hear about the new movie coming out? It's starring Tom Cruise and Oprah Winfrey. Yep, it's called "The Color of Purple Money." I missed and my jaws hurt from laughing...

    Glad to see Beau on the commentary. He is knowledgeable, expresses himself well, will do some some teaching to the audience and...damn, he plays good too! Heck, I'm going to watch just for that.

    How long does it take?

    Byron, the shortcut to becoming a good shooter is going to an instructor, practicing assigned drills and understanding what he/she is teaching you. I promise you will not stay on a plateau for long if the instructor is good. If you hit a plateau and stay there for awhile, find a new instructor.

    entry fees+added money-TD fee-greens fee=really?

    I think that is a bit pessimistic, especially if you are talking a monetary gain. As Ray just posted, he and the committee have been doing this for many years without any type of gain except to just say that they did it. Mike, the same way. Both of these fine people are pool ambassadors...

    entry fees+added money-TD fee-greens fee=really?

    OK guys, I'm finally going to reveal the dirty secret. First, a bit about me. I have been a teacher, room owner, room manager, retail manager, restaurant manager, pool teacher, entrepreneur for 50 years. For 35 of those working 50 years I have TD/Ref'd literally 1000's of tournaments. (All...

    Name the New Club and Win a Cue

    There used to be a Coliseum here in Mpls. I was sorely dissappointed the 1st time I went in. It was not a big place, nor grandiose and did not have more than 20 tables. I kind of felt like it was false advertising, especially when there are rooms here that have 40+ and 60+ tables. So for...

    Another beginner who needs help:)

    My advice is to turn your Dufferin into a break cue and buy the complete OB Cue if you think that is the one for you. Hopefully there is a dealer in the area that will let you try hitting with it before you spend the money.

    Name the New Club and Win a Cue

    Since my name has the same initials as the new room owners, I think it only fitting that it be called... J. Dubs. If you want to add on other descriptors that works too. J. Dubs Pub, Pool & Pizza J. Dubs Billiards, Bar and Bites etc. Jay Wegener
