    Arthritis and a return to an open bridge ...

    I learned to put a little pressure on the stick. If the stroking hand is too far forward the tip can lift. Hold it further back for better weight distribution.

    The Art of Aiming

    If a person couldn't jerk the trigger accurately without moving the whole body then scatter gun might work. I don't think Wyatt Earp buttered smoothed the trigger at the OK Corral. Reyes has a butter smooth stroke but pumps the cue up and down. Only he know where the cue tip is going to land...

    Can't multi task huh? Most of us do it quite well. Booze and congested tables look better and better. Churchill won the war smashed. *One for the road please*

    How bout

    How bout making the 5 ball a $$ ball along with the 9. In tournaments give half point for 5, 1 point for 9. It could keep players in the run. That's the way we gamble.

    9 ball is here to stay correct?

    You may no be in the minority. I'm with your view. Most home tables likely see 8 ball by far I'm willing to bet. Live pool on tv is not given much time so games like 9 ball are called for 1 to 2 minute games. Streaming has opened some doors but ya have to shell out for it. Watching SVB play...

    9 ball is here to stay correct?

    Nothing is here to stay. We just think we are living in the most exciting times ever. 9 ball as currently played is choking the art of pool. Watch half dozen games and you'd have to rewind to dozing off spot. The game itself plus the most boring humans on earth not earning enough $$ need...

    What I believe is the most pure form of pool

    I'm a 14.1 guy but most are gone. Cut teeth on straight pool 60's, 90's. Was sooo relaxing unlike 9 or 8 ball. 3 cushion now there's a gentleman's game. Not for my pea brain.

    Why is Pool so Addicting?

    Drugs and bad habits aside live your life as you see fit. Must be satisfied with one's self. You are here to enjoy life!!! Of course at no others expense. I've been playing since 13. 66 years now. Took a couple years off for golf but always found a table in a bar or someone's home to show my...

    Aiming System Or Not?

    Hear hear...my system for 60 years has not failed me. If clever it can be done without anyone recognizing it. Just imagine hitting that spot with paint gun and fling the QB at it. Top to bottom center spin to avoid throw.

    Aiming System Or Not?

    Still use the ghost ball system. Basically a center ball player top to bottom. If I can't find an angle to work with some side spin is necessary. Just draw a visual line pocket to object ball, place right foot on that line and am rewarded. At times I fraction off the OB if the angle is...

    Is Efren to pool what Ronnie is to snooker?

    Hell pool is such an easy game so called GOAT's are a dime a dozen and easy to make a pitch for many of them. In 9 ball for example. A great breaker and player no better than a great breaker and good player. IMO.

    9 ball is here to stay correct?

    Stuck on predictable 9 ball. Like SVB could just break em and use a good player to run em. Very limited sport which hasn't really bottomed yet. Sales of home tables are up because we are getting less sociable. Not to mention the high per hour fees in pool rooms. 8 ball still my fav for 60 years...

    7 ft or 8Ft ? Which would be the choice ?

    The average player should play 7' table if there's a choice. It would be more enjoyable for lesser than serious players. Only problem I find with 7' tables is congestion, lots of it. Even though these tables normally use a 2" ball. 8' table uses 2.25" ball which I enjoy much more. Can't see any...

    Winner Breaks..

    If they'd move the rack spot I'd be more inclined to like the alternate way. It's the automatically making 1-4 balls break and having too many simple run outs. 9 ball tournaments on tv have little entertainment value anyway therefore the lack of them......now if players had Earl's personality...
