    Bustamante wins WPC!

    I am so glad he won! He showed tremendous courage and heart in 2002 when he found out his daughter had died, and went on to take 2nd in the WPC, losing to Earl in the finals. I hope he wins the US Open this year too.

    The pool world needs Alex Pagulayan

    I think it is an absolute shame for pool that Alex quit and plays only poker now. He has the best personality, he is great for TV, and I think he has more heart than anyone in the world. I also think he is in the top 5 best players in the world when he is playing. Chime in here if you think...

    gripping further back on the cue, Bob Jewett comment

    I was thinking the same thing....first of all you stated it as your opinion, then he says that your opinion is a "false statement", and he doesn't bother to explain why. Randy it would be nice if you would explain your reasoning, that was pretty rude.

    Stroking too smooth

    What it all boils down to is this: If you have a straight stroke, and your tip is hitting the exact spot on the cue ball that you are aiming for, you will have a powerful stroke. Those are the two most important things. Other things like a smooth cue action and a light grip can help, but I...

    What would you do?

    I was thinking the same thing, and the tickie with the edge of the 3 overlapping the 6 requires an absolute perfect hit with lots of follow I believe. Very difficult to pull off. If you could fit the cue ball between the 3 and the rail the shot becomes a lot easier. Edited: I guess they are...

    My take on Mr. Dippy and Frost

    I met him, he seemed really cool. But I was just curious about what they were arguing about, not about Frost's general demeanor when playing pool

    A "Real" Offer to Grady

    Guys, please give Grady a break, out of respect for his age, and out of respect for the player that he once was.

    Hal Houle CTE Explanation from 1997

    I'll chime in here if you don't mind. In this case I'd have him shoot straight in shots all day. If he lines up with the back end of his cue too far to the left, he'd cut the ball to the left, and vice versa if he lines up with his cue too far to the right. Eventually he would find the spot...

    How to stop choking?

    Here are two things to help you stop choking that work wonders for me: Before your execution stroke, pause about 3 seconds with your tip at the cue ball. Look back and forth, and make sure your tip is in the right place, and your aim looks right. Then take a nice smooth stroke and make the...

    Look what i won on Accu-Stats GAMESHOW !!!

    Wasn't Pat a pro player right around the time he started up Accustats? That's what I remember hearing, and if so, it wouldn't be surprising that he still plays jam up.

    Pocketing Balls Frozen to the rail?

    I love these shots, I practice them religiously. What I most enjoy about them is being able to shoot a shot that is frozen to the rail either rail first or ball first. It's very difficult for someone who doesn't know these shots very well, but when you do, you just get the feel for where to aim...

    Would anyone mind posting a video demonstrating CTE?

    If it's the one showing where he places his back foot, it doesn't really show how to use CTE. If it's not that one, do you have a link?

    Let's see your super shots

    I don't think it's possible to draw the cue ball anywhere close to where you displayed in the diagram.

    This Aiming System Crap is Killing Me

    John, would you mind making a video describing in detail how to use CTE? I saw your video where you are talking about finding the aiming line, but you didn't explain how to use the system exactly. All this talk has made me interested in learning this system.

    Pivoting and CTE

    Does anyone know if there are any videos online that show you how to use CTE in detail? I came across one guy on Youtube talking about it, but he wasn't explaining how to do it.

    Any Problems If Using Snooker Fundamentals To Play Pool??

    Snooker players do indeed have powerful strokes. But I believe that there is a "cut off" point in the power in which most snooker players can generate. My reasoning is 3-cushion billiards. These guys have the most powerful strokes in the world. Their fundamentals are completely ass backwards...
