Im an APA 5 and I struggle with being a consistent shot maker and hooking myself with bad cue ball speed. I usually have a fairly good idea where the cue ball is going but my speed control is terrible so I get snookered a lot or get on the wrong side of the next shot. I also end runs by...

Trust me, if you play straight up and dont dog shots, you will be ranked exactly what level you are after the first full session.

I personally hate to have timeouts called by someone else during my matches. It messes with the flow of my game and it upsets me. Im not saying Im above advice or coaching, and in fact would appreciate breaking down certain shots and situations after the match, but I get irritated by TO's in...

Damn nice cue and Let's go Astros!!

I am contacting the only PBIA instructor in San Antonio to get some proper instruction. I am willing to put in the practice, I just want to make sure I am doing it correctly. At my age I dont expect to become phenomenal but I want to get as good as I possibly can.

G Cues on West Ave. Hes got 6 Diamonds.

Cool, thanks for all the responses. I thought I was going to get hammered for even asking such a "stupid" question. I dont have a problem walking up to someone in a regular pool room and asking for a game but there is a small hall here in San Antonio where only "players" play and I wanted to...

Well I would greatly appreciate free lessons. I just want to know how to approach it as I dont want to offend anyone. Myself, if I were the better player, I wouldn't expect to be paid but I get a high level player not wanting to play a lower level person.

Yeah this is what I figured would be the most acceptable way of approaching the situation. BTW I am a C player. I really want to get better and I know the only way is to play better competition.

Will better players play someone worse than them just for the sake of playing or will the lower level player have to expect to gamble to be able to play? I really want to start playing some higher level guys and I just want to know what to expect if I approach them in a pool hall.

I like most have been bar banging since I can remember but I started playing in a league about 9 months ago. I caught the bug big time and I bought a 9' GC and I practice everyday. I have gotten way better but I havent turned any corners yet. Thanks for this post it is inspiring.

Ive been using a cube of pre-flag Master and I don't get why everyone waxes nostalgic about it. I like the new Master better.

1) I play up to good shooters and down to bad ones. 2) I need to learn to concentrate and do my PSR before every shot.

You wont get bored playing alone, however, I dont think there is any replacement for competition. I also think you should always make the games worth something. Even if its only a buck a game it makes you concentrate more IMO.

I seem to be regressing. I started out on fire in 8 to start this session, but the last 4 weeks I have just been playing poorly. There is something way off as I seem to be overcutting everything and I have the yips. Im missing layups on money balls and its killing me. I need some lessons.

This is the entire issue in a nutshell. I know you are one of the best mechanics in the world, however, it is almost impossible to find someone that is even decent, so why not learn to do it yourself? Ive watched two sets of guys work on my table in the last two months. The first team were...

This is my intention, thats why i wanted the length and thread pitch.

Does anyone know the thread pitch and length of bolts for the recessed bosse pockets on a GC3? I dont want to spend $20 on bolts from classic billiards.

If you find someone please give me their number. I just got a gc3 installed by SA pool table movers and they did not do a great job. It's only been a month and one of the seams popped and it's not perfectly level

I got my GC about a month ago and I am not very happy with the rolls I am getting. Also found that one of the seams has raised up a little. Does anyone know of a good mechanic in the San Antonio area that could set this up correctly?
