    Neck Pain While Shooting

    One day, my friend told me that he got neckache after merely 30mins playing pool. On the other hand, I've gone 8hrs straight without being reminded that I still have a neck. I didn't understand his experience at the time. Then years later, I hurt one eye (healed in 3 weeks, not permanent, but...

    should aim for particular part of the pocket?

    ... Or continue to aim for the center of the pocket but apply spin to play position. You'd still shoot toward one side of the pocket. But the throw effect would send the object toward the center of pocket. This would increase probability of success in both make and position. Just that, it...

    should aim for particular part of the pocket?

    The formula I use is "the biggest room for error given the need for the next position and self ability to execute" That is, if it's only to make a ball, let's say the last ball or if the next is obvious, then center of the pocket yields the largest room for error. That's because the need for...

    At what point do you think it's adventagious to learn to jump?

    I think jump shot is just another skill. If you are comfortable with kicks and banks, then I'd suggest to improve on those first. Jumping is like kicking or banking or any other more advanced skills. Up to a certain competition level, utilizing those skills don't significantly improve the...

    What do you think of Banking With The Beard?

    In my opinion, Banking with The Beard has a lot of useful information that helps improve my banking skill. BUT it is written in such unexciting way that I can't help but think there would be better books about banking out there. Nonetheless, it doesn't change the fact that this book is the one...

    Manning cues

    First of all, I'd like to say that I more than agree with all the positive reviews about Manning Cues. Prior to dealing business with Manning Cues, I read reviews and conclude that it is at least a decent business. After my first experience with Manning Cues, my opinion is that it is a better...

    Any BK Rush Reviews

    I pretty much shared the opinion of a few prior contributors. My personal opinion about the BK Rush is that, it one-upped my expectations. Initially, I knew what I'd be getting my hands at for that cry-me-a-river cost. I primarily seek the hybrid tip, which is not sold separately. (Anyone who...

    How long have you been on the same league team?

    I suppose there are people who would ask about the production cost of a burger to see if it is really worth $5. Depending on the item, I might be one of them.

    Stroke improvement question for instructors and non instructors

    The way I practice my stroke, besides drills and the likes that the greats have suggested in prior posts, is by developing muscle memory on the small muscle movements. I'd roll up a piece of carton of size just a bit wider than the size of shaft at mid length. I'd then shoot through the hole...

    Stroke question

    Assuming a person has the perfect stroke, off-aim can probably be caused by the difference in sight dominance. This is exaggerated even more when both eyes are not centered over the cue (i.e. tilted head, or side-way shooting). The pool hall junkies often told me to adjust by compensating the...
