    Ultimate Argument: Pendulum vs Piston Stroke

    From the matches I saw, Sat. Sun, Mon. Closed won the days. Maybe the 10' table had something to do with it. I strongly prefer the closed and short, 80% of the time regardless table size but I play 2 slow cloth tables. Good enough for Mosconi.

    Practice

    Practice is overrated. Pool is an easy game. Watch lots of video games. Plan the shooters position moves before he executes. See how many times you're correct. Muscle memory will work it's way to the table. Assuming ya have the basics. If ya don't have enough competition play the ghost in a race...

    I learned something yesterday that really improved my game

    If your pre shot and actual set up is good and solid you should feel happy and confident the ball will without a doubt be potted. Tell yourself this is a 90% shot chance of potting. Your in that family of shots that will go in. If it's a 25% chance shot get ready mentally for a miss but don't...

    Tip question on glazing

    ElkMaster, never had a problem with glazing. And replace it often to keep it from compressing. Years ago we had glazing problems because of breaking with same cue's.

    Ultimate Argument: Pendulum vs Piston Stroke

    I like the piston. My body told me which one to use. Just like Golf many try to force feed methods on bodies and minds that can't comprehend the info, so it becomes a struggle. Find a comfort Zone. Reyes and the like like to saw wood. Chang a piston player takes short and very few practice...

    "People have to start realizing that if they are going to dick members around on AZ, it won't be forgotten about soon." from the blue hog rider I thought bullies were out of fashion? Miss the memo?

    Speed Control Drills

    If you have it in your head concerning the basics then video will help a lot. I don't believe in a lot of drills and extra practice time. I noticed lately I've been cheating pre shot routine getting lazy on easy shots and missing some. Besides all tables play differently. Getting too locked in...

    Tips... Are we fooling Ourselves?

    I owned Lincoln's and Pinto's. They both got me to the same place. I like Elk Masters, 65 cents, they have imbedded chalk, requires only a bit less chalking. Shaping is easy. I like the feel of the hit. Did I say I'm cheap, I am. Been playing 62 years and cue and bag cost less than a C Note.

    this not the way it should be

    I disagree. Get out the way you got in. Rules should be set prior to gambling match. First and foremost no IOU's. The Winner has no obligation to help the loser. Lost my share, suck it up and move on...Don't enjoy gambling anymore because of the cry babies out there. Play for pride and a drink now.

    Mosconi Cup 2019... Las Vegas...

    The European Team had the better Team. We had the 2 top players in the Tournament. SVB and Woodward. Europe got caught up in hysteria from it's own crowd. Especially Shaw.

    Mosconi on ESPN?

    Pool is on life support as it is. Audience is too cheap to support. They want quality streams for nothing. This is a Capitalistic Society. If someone wants to give it away fine, if not don't whine.

    is the break the most difficult shot in pool?

    It certainly is in 9 ball. Makes it boring unless one likes 6 game run outs. At least alternate breaks.
