I have several back problems. Compression fractures in the L4-L5 area, Degenerative Disc Disease, Arthritis, and Scoliosis to boot. I've been taking prescription aleve and motrin, (naproxen and ibuprofen) and it doesn't do a thing for my back or arm. I'm gonna go try and get a massage, see if...

Wow, and I thought my cue was light at 18.7oz. 12oz??? That's crazy.

What back problems did you have? I have been considering getting surgery for the last few years.

Anyone ever have this problem? I've had it for at least a year. At first I would get it every once in a while, and when I did, I would play poorly. About a month ago I started getting it every time I shoot pool. The longer I played, the worse my pain would get, and the worse I would play. Now...

That would be the best thing to ever happen to our sport. I hope this happens.

Efren dropped his elbow on every shot except one. He doesn't drop it much, maybe three or four inches, but it clearly does drop.

You should position yourself so you are facing the camera. Your stroke looks ok from the side, but it looks like you are putting too much effort into everything. It looks like your stance and stroke would break down under pressure.

That didn't make any sense....what are you talking about? In what country is this?

If you quit the set and your opponent did not agree, then you owe your opponent the full amount of whatever you were playing for.

Actually I think Joe would be at the top of the list. I keep hearing that Manny is only a C player. Joe looks like a solid B player, maybe better.

Heavens forbid someone tries to give someone a free DVD!

If your stroke is truly straight and you are having potting issues, it sounds like you have a problem with alignment. This is especially true if you start steering your cue. It looks like you are lined up correctly, but subconsciously you know you aren't, and you swerve your cue on the last...

I've found that whatever grip best suits you comes along naturally when you get a straight stroke. When I am playing bad, my grip doesn't feel right, even though I'm using the same grip I've always been using. It doesn't feel right because there is some sideways movement in my stroke, which...

I was always under the impression that the majority of the top players keep their wrists stable before striking the cue ball, i.e. Yang, Orcullo, and even super power stroke Larry Nevel. I could be mistaken, but from I've seen a lot of them don't use their wrists.

I'll buy one.

I don't think you need any wrist movement at all, but if you must, I believe the key is to not have any lateral wrist movement. Corey is a shining example of this. He doesn't snap or flick his wrist, but he bends it on the follow through, keeping his cue fairly level.

Anyone have a link to a list of the teams and who was on each team?

I don't think there is anything with dropping your elbow a bit. As long as your shoulder stays in the same place.

That picture with Shane playing Scooter (or is that Tedder?) with John Morra and Alex in the background is great, its one of the best pictures I've ever seen involving pool.

John Morra has the best looking stroke I've ever seen.
