    Mosconi Cup 2025, Dec. 3-6, Alexandra Palace, London

    Would there be any benefit to selecting reasonably strong, but not super high strong, MC rookies who can catch a gear occasionally but statistically not be expected to win? Perhaps with very low expectations, they might not feel pressure the same way the top players feel, and might perform well...

    107 Breaks & 6 Chances

    I have read through this thread once. I don't remember whether anyone has, or even I have, responded thusly: - How many different breaks have you tried? - Have you tried a particular CB position, tried 10 in a row, verifying you have hit the CB in the same exact spot each time? Verified you...

    Mosconi Cup 2025, Dec. 3-6, Alexandra Palace, London

    FWIW, here's my take, from a lowly "C" player (most if not all of it stating the painfully obvious): - The game requires dedication and practice. Performing at a very high level requires the knowledge of what to shoot, and how to shoot it. But it's a small part of the picture. - On the...

    Mosconi Cup 2025, Dec. 3-6, Alexandra Palace, London

    Watching replays on YouTube. I FRIGGING HATE THE PNK 4 AND THE PURPLE 5!!!!!!!!!!!! So many racks I am looking at the wrong ball after the 3. And at one point JJ even said “…to get down table to the four.” Then, clarifies (implicit that it actually needs clarification) with “…the PURPLE...

    107 Breaks & 6 Chances

    Brian of FXBILLIARDS on YouTube said: Run three balls in order. If you can do that five times, add a ball. If you can run four balls five times add a ball. Fail, go back to three balls. Then five balls. Then six balls. Succeed, add a ball. Fail, remove a ball. He said if you can...

    Do you want to learn more about your stroke?

    I had my video analyzed. I will spare you all the details but I will say the analysis was spot on and very useful. It confirmed some things I already suspected but identified a couple of things of which I was not aware. Bottom line: Very Good Stuff!

    SJM in the AZB HOF? Should be!!

    I am a casual consumer of Professional pool. I attended the Florida Open in Orlando earlier this year. I reached out to Stu, whom I met early in the tournament at the venue, if only briefly. He was and I am sure always is friendly, extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and a true ambassador of...

    Should there be a section / sub-forum for Mental Management topics . . . .

    or is "Ask The Instructor" sub-forum the place to post such things? I think the mental aspects of the game are important and discrete enough to warrant its own place. What do you think?

    This is exactly why we let the subconscious shoot the shot for us and stay TF out of the way of shot execution. It knows how to figure it out.

    I was going to say the same thing. Get a YT account. Upload videos. Make it public, or private to those who have the link. Share the link, such as posting the link here on a response in this thread. Can o’ corn. No excuses.
