It seems we are posting at the same time, Renfro. thanks for the compliment. I do believe there are other ways to pocket this particular ball. I have tried intentionally hitting left or right english and aiming away from the pocket. no good. I once built a wooden slip on tip about two inches...

THAT, sounds complicated. I would prefer, if I had a new person to teach, to have them just smash it in with centerball. What could be more simple? just to be sure, you said "You choose if it is truly straight in" we are only talking about a straight shot. steven

The main thing is hit the center of the cue ball. miss centerball= miss shot, go sit down for a while I have shot thousands of these. http://vimeo.com/39948210 If you gotta pivot or are married to toi, I don't think it is going to work here. and you gotta stroke it straight. this other video...

I cannot disagree with 3. one pkt is not boring. straight pool is the king of all games. Keep at it. Fifty and out would be nice. And I believe within reason for a person of sound mind and body. steven

what would happen in onepocket? I need to know. steven I still don't believe the ball gets spotted in nine ball.

Very interesting situation. I didn't know there was a rule for that one. steven

What pt109 said. Don't baby the shot or it might scratch or get stuck in the rack. Steven

rip Kevin, the few words we had made me a better person. I still think about it. steven

I did a google search for the most ever to view the masters golf tourney. The best number I got was from 2012. 4.1 million. It was only a friday, but I can't believe their best sunday comes close to 330 mil...

Years ago me and my dad would sit and watch wide world of sports whenever Willie played vs Fats. Or if we were lucky one of the many champions of the era. The seats were usually full. Howard Cosell on the mike. Most peoples moms could tell you Mizerak was a school teacher. Pool was mainstream. I...

In post number 7 Matt said: If you are used to playing with a regular shaft and try to thinly cut a ball from across the table with outside english, you are apt to miss the ball entirely with a LD shaft until you get used to it. This is very similar to a shot I have people shoot with my 10 mm...

very well done! I hope to follow your footsteps someday. The destination does not matter. the real joy is the journey. Once you get there, I can't comment on, I've got some miles left to travel. I say get your sights set on 150 or 200. It might be doable. This is a road not often traveled...

I have a golf ball with MOJO printed on it in my case. sometimes I put it in my pocket. could be a few other trinkets in there as well. I figure it can't hurt. steven

yup, that is the video, thx atlarge. I looked all over for it. I named it myself. for lack of a better name, and to give credit to JT. steven

There is a video out there with Judd Trump doing some amazing things on the snooker table. Naturally I can't find it again, but one of his drills was perfect for straight pool. I don't normally shoot drills, but this one might be worth the effort. The object is to pocket the shot and have the...

thx for the video Jaden. Very well done. I really like your practice table, normal size pockets must look like buckets to you. long centerball stop shots. Immediate feedback. The cue ball has to stop dead. not stop and spin a little, or draw back, or follow, or whatever. any reaction besides...

Centerball is a must, imho, and a shot that requires constant attention. Hit a few thousand centerball stop shots. A shot that returns instant feedback. Hit this shot even the slightest bit off center and watch as the cueball spins a little, or rolls off. or throws the object ball into the...

Calvin, I certainly didn't mean to offend anyone. My post was intended as humor. nothing more, nothing less. sorry steven

let it be said, This person is excluded. No Shark Tank for You. kel 82 is one kool dude.

No need to deal with them at all... one approach might be: gather up all the slow players and put them in a shark tank with all the short people. they surround us. We need to band together and rid the earth of such vermin. We must act and the time is now! this vermin, short slow players, even...
