    breakshot WWYD?

    I'm very impressed with all the knowledge in this thread! I'm no straight pool master by any means but I thouroughly enjoy studying break shots. Put me in the camp that wants to know exactly where in the stack I'm hitting. In the photo it looks like it will be either the 2 or 3. Can't tell...

    straight pool question

    Hey liakos!!! Swing by the 14.1 forum here on AZ. Lots of enthusiasts over there that don't always check the main forum. Quite a few video links in the first post. Andy

    homemade scoring beads

    Scorer Hi Miller, Here's what I came up with a couple years ago. It is less than 3 ft wide and goes to 100. I used beads and colored string from Michael's (craft store). Pine boards from Home Depot. Andy

    Great lesson with Ralph Eckert

    I remember that lesson! Hey Creedo! Good to hear your basement lesson went well. I knew it would. A great lesson can always get you excited about pool again. Andy

    Hi All, Corey Deuel and Huidji See are coming from Qatar as well. Mika is going straight to London I think so not making our event. Top Hat Cue Club is a great room for the tournament with 21 Brunswick tables that play very well. The owner Mike Connelly is excited about the event and has...

    New Format for the Kamui 14.1 Challenge

    Hi Bob, I've tried this format a couple of times at home and there are definitely some times to "give up" and just hit the stack or open a cluster. There are times when I found myself trying ridiculous shots and it would cost me 2 or 3 innings. Sounds like there's an added strategy on decision...

    New Format for the Kamui 14.1 Challenge

    Hey Charlie, Good format and I think it helps many aspects of the challenge. You mention that after a miss, the player may shoot from where the cue ball lies or take the cue ball in hand in the kitchen. Bob Jewett asked about each inning starting from ball in hand and a full rack and you said...

    14.1 - Two balls left behind the head string

    I thought there was something about being able to place the cue ball exactly on the head spot and shoot back into the kitchen at an object ball? Is that not true? Did it used to be allowed? Maybe I'm confusing this with a rare break scenario where the last object ball is in the kitchen and the...

    2013 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

    New high run 108! Ran a 108 this morning! My previous high was 76 a couple years ago. For those of you who know my overall pool skills, you're probably surprised that I've never run 100. So it feels good to finally join the club. Andy

    Catonsville MD - Jan 5/6, VIP Billiards, 9-Ball

    I've posted the charts up on http://www.PlanetPoolTour.com It's a strange game Mark. You win 9-0 against a good player, lose a close one and go down 7-0 to a really good player. Alan Duty loses his first match to the guy you beat 9-0 and then wins 9 matches in a row include Tony Long, Wilkie...

    Catonsville MD - Jan 5/6, VIP Billiards, 9-Ball

    These guys were all regulars on the Planet Pool tour 10 years ago! Danny is the actual founder in fact. Mike and Brandon both "trained" on the tour on their way to pro status. Could be a tough field tomorrow! I heard Matt Krah and Shaun Wilkie will also be there. Probably Brett Stottlemyer and...
