    pool vs snooker

    I found proof that snooker players use every bit as much spin as pool players!!! check out Ronnie closing this match out. http://youtu.be/YedTRrKJAbM I am not saying center ball is overrated, just saying the ball gotta be hit to make it do what you want. steven

    down the rail

    any of the 12 ft tables I have played on it seems to me the corner pocket plays the largest when the o ball is on the rail. If I hit it parrell with the rail the ball will fall. If it is off the rail even a little bit then that little angle has to be played just so perfectly, very difficult. I...

    10mm shaft/tip?

    I play with a 10 mm tip, have for years... When I got the stick back in the 80's I sanded it myself, by hand, starting with 220 grit sandpaper. I have tried to go to a larger diameter but they don't work for me. it is not whippy at all, maybe I got lucky and it is just a good piece of wood. I...

    did I hack, or not?

    no question about the sanding, I never used bondo before but I wouldn't be surprised if it's harder than the slate., If I had a belt sander I sure would have used it. the table played real good, lively rails, I got it good and level. I am sure the 6 or 7 percent humidity and 100 plus degrees...

    did I hack, or not?

    I just finished checking out the hack thread, very enjoyable, so I ask, Did I hack, or not hack? I bought a 40 year old Murrey table while I was in Az, The problem I had with the slate is that it had split and lifted up in 4 places near the seams, The largest problem area covered about 30...

    Please evaluate my stroke

    not an instructor here. I do notice your back hand is all over the place when stroking, throwing the cue stick off line. Bring it in so the stick is up against the body. if you can get used to the feel of this stroke you will be amazed at the stability. You now have three points of contact, the...
