    Pool league timeouts

    you got good advice in all the above posts. the only thing I could add is this. When I played for the one and a half yrs apa: I might tell my player to hit it soft. I know what soft is, but my players sure didn't. none of them. Didn't have a clue actually. If you are going to use the words...

    New Home

    I Can't tell you the age of the table, tables should come with an id number. same as cars do. I have a medalist with a ball return. and it plays real good, mine just happens to have a concave frame rail, about half an inch low in the center. way too many shims involved. about every five to six...

    New Fastest 147 Break

    the guy is amazing. I for one believe every bit of this. Although I thought he might have missplaced the black from time to time. who gives a shit? yes, we didn't see the opening break, thats ok by me. What we saw next was only excellence. No need to compare him to ronnie. Ronnie O has proven...

    A happy table installer experience...

    Well worth the effort. I just took down a good portion, about 20-30 cinderblocks to gain 1.5 inches. enjoy your new table, looks real nice. steven

    Marpo

    There is a shot Bill plays that I know gets screwed up all the time. Lots of folks will try to get straight on this shot so they can stop it there. too hard. Bill plays it perfect, I think. He makes no attempt to get straight, and has about half the table to get the angle on the key ball, I...

    How beneficial is an aiming system?

    what is sweep please. I understand a slight adjustment may be called for once a player gets down there. but once there, and locked in, why not just stroke it in with everything we got?

    How beneficial is an aiming system?

    I know there is cte because people talk about it. I do not know anything at all about it. I am sure it works fine for those who use it. question for Stan: does a person need to pivot? A person said something about a pivot a few posts back. My understanding of pivot is: after aiming shifting your...

    How rare is it to be able to do this?

    I can't do it. best I might get is a stop shot, maybe on a good day a couple inches of draw. I could make a video to prove it if you don't believe me. I would say less than 1/10 of 1% of poolplayers make that shot even once in their lifetime, and I think that is being generous. steven would...

    Corey's invented the next best thing to instant 9-on-the-snap.

    when I saw the Shane, Thorsten bar table match at first I thought "I like this magic rack" it takes the break out of the game. The wing ball went in every time. every time. all they had to do is run out. easy as pie for these guys. Now I am not so sure. It just might be to predictable. steven

    A couple of 40s for your critique

    Both good runs, even better on the diamond. Diamond tables can get a little hard if you are even a little off. I only had the chance to play on one one weekend in Memphis, the first day I thought "whats all the hub bub about" I think I was excited to be playing on one. everything I shot was...

    Tip diameter?

    I think the main difference, as someone has always pointed out, is with a smaller diameter tip it is possible to hit lower on the cue ball, to low=miscue. I have tried to play with a "fat shaft" but it just seems wrong, to me. mine is a 10 mm, I get very little deflection, and rarely miscue...

    Niels runs 208 this morning

    thanks for the Niels Vids It is a pleasure to watch one of our greatest players at home, just playing the game. steven. Niels seems to favor less angle on his breakshots. It seems to me it allows him a bit more control going into the rack. I have always played for a more severe angle, this...

    I ran the category

    I ran the category!! todays Jeopardy had a pool shots category. very easy. answers/questions were like bank, cut, combination. Any one of us could have made the money. I find it interesting, just yesterday my msn homepage had Florian doing his magic on the little pool table. Could it be...

    What's the weirdest bet you've made/seen in a pool hall?

    alright already. it was a long time ago... but I remember like it was yesterday. It was at a bar, live music, lots of people, two pool tables in the back. they were playing partners. my coin was next in the rotation and I asked a very sexy lady if she would like to play, She did. We won a few...

    the great Kimura trickshots!!!!!!!!!!!

    thx for the video. I had a bootleg copy of this, not nearly as clear as this, but I was very impressed and it caused me for 2 years to to play trick shots. [Not good for a persons overall pool game imo] I eventually made a ten minute video tape on my video cassette recorder, rewinding after...
