    Indeed, some of the best precision I've ever seen came from the Ko Bros. Can't seem to get enough watching those 4. And I don't think we've seen the best from any of them yet.

    Jeffery Ignacio

    His stroke is sweeter than YooHoo. Him and Biado are my two favorite players at the moment. If you haven't seen it, here's a recent money game between the two. Not Jeff's best match, but in this one you can see how much of a machine Biado is when he's in stroke. https://youtu.be/bSawIHnOtGU

    Adjusting from 9' to Barbox

    If we're talking about older coin op tables, with oversized or overweight cue balls, then there is a bigger adjustment needed. Basically, those CBs rob you of a lot of draw action, especially on cut shots, so playing natural angles is more critical to predictability. Although there is not as...

    Minor impressions while converting and Youtubing classic 1980’s tournaments

    I know several old timers that say their tips are just broken in when they get thin like that. Regarding your feelings about Miz's comments on Varner, I'd chalk it up to the fact that we've all gotten softer over the last 29 years. LOL Thanks for sharing these rare gems!

    My Lesson with Scott Lee

    IMO, you made a wise investment. As someone who attended pool school with Scott Lee about a year ago, I can assure you that if you stick with the "process", you'll continue to receive great returns on your investment for many more years to come.

    Ratings and/or numbers for The Hustlers

    I watched the first 4 episodes online last week. I went in with low expectations and after an episode or two, I was like "this ain't too terrible". But after the 3rd and 4th, the show had pretty much runs in course with me and I find that I'm just not that interested in what happens next...

    Welcome to the newest PBIA/SPF instructors

    Hi Scott, I plan to be playing in the Mezz West State Tour that weekend so I won't be available to attend pool school. However, I acquired a nice gold crown about 6 months ago and may be interested in a personal lesson either before or after. Please send me a PM or call/text me (my number is...

    Gender Inequality (?)

    Life requires balance. Equal importance. If we were all just equal, equality wouldn't have to be demanded, it'd be a given. It's a simple as that.

    Preserving the angle

    I use the technique in some instances as stach and bdorman mentioned. For me, it's definitely a feel shot.

    Do Most "B" and up Players Need Drills?

    Ever spend much time in a heavily populated metropolis area? Just getting 15 miles further down the highway can cost you an hour. And all the weight in the world doesn't help much when you're sitting in your chair. LOL. Appreciate the advice...

    Do Most "B" and up Players Need Drills?

    Many people feel you have to practice at burnout levels. That's actually counter productive to how our brains work. Try this: If you have a shot that gives you problems, set it and do it just 10 times. You'll have a small number of times to get it right and probably won't start getting...

    Do Most "B" and up Players Need Drills?

    I do too. I'm sorry I responded sideways to your thread and criticized you yesterday. I can be an asshole but I'm not a dick that can't admit when I'm wrong. I fully understand the importance of matching up with better players and gambling. I do both as frequently as possible. But do you...

    Do Most "B" and up Players Need Drills?

    I concur. My point is that after you've observed, asked questions and received answers, you still have to put in the time to practice execution. Practice is simply more productive than trying to do this in a game. Gambling can ratchet up the pressure, but it's not going to best your greatest...

    Do Most "B" and up Players Need Drills?

    I will say, that there is a lot one can glean from putting the pressure on yourself to perform. Enough time and pressure will produce a diamond. I also feel that associations tend to rub off on people in pool, just like life. So if you surround yourself and associate with higher caliber...
