A very good post, Joe. You made me realize that I had not focused on staying absolutely still in my stance for quite a while. I hit a few balls on my home table tonight with this as my objective. I was long ago taught the "relaxed muscle" approach to keeping still that Neil advocates. When I...

In a word. . . . . .moribund.

Something is not quite right here. . . Like several others who've already posted, I've purchased multiple eBay Dale Perrys. All arrived in fine shape with one the exception. That cue looked good but had a nasty buzz when used to hit a shot firmly. (This kind of problem will happen...

Certainly no one will accuse you of not crying before you are hurt. There are likely some straw men on the loose in NPR; might want to take your arguments there.

Been years since I last saw that video. . . I had forgotten all about it. Thanks for posting, KC.

Nice offer, Alf. Put my name in the hat, please.

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: Good one. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I'll go with. . . 1880. And even if I'm wrong (highly likely), thanks to Bob for an enjoyable post and contest.

Let me join in with those expressing appreciation for what you do, Mike. It is no accident that your video achieved this measure of popularity. You convey solid information in a clear and concise manner. Keep up the good work.

Nice find-- I had not seen this before. Thanks for posting.

That was my first thought also.

The consensus answer seems to be. . . . . .the amount or quality of information transmitted to the user about the cue's impact with the cue ball. And really, I'd very much like to agree with that conclusion. I can't quite get there, however, as there is no reliable way of quantifying either...

Nice to see this legendary room recognized. I grew up just a few towns away from Hi Cue, but it was closed by the time I got active in the game. The room I really miss is the late, lamented Chelsea Billiards in NYC. Comet Billiards in Parsippany, NJ was another fine room that is no longer around.

This could start a new aiming discussion. . . How do you aim when you bowl??? Do you look at the spots, or look at the pins??? Anyone who aims without using the spots is, IMHO, an idiot. :grin: :grin: :grin:

Thanks for posting this, Bigtruck. Very entertaining.

This really strikes a chord with me, Lou. One thing I've noticed in my own (admittedly low-level) game is that I always get perfect shape on the next ball when I miss something really easy. I've obviously taken the shot for granted, and focused only on cueball position.

C'mon, Black-Balled, answer the question! Inquiring minds want to know!:D:D:D (P.S. Looks like Angie Harmon to me.)

Wow. His knowledge of the pool scene is rivaled only by his knowledge of geography.

Beautiful work there, Steve. You do a great job of working the venue to shoot against uncluttered backgrounds and find dramatic lighting. Well done!

Er, all due respect to Neils. . . . . .but, no.
