I use taom v10 chalk, and inspect the tip after just about every shot to see if it needs a green hit. I did the same with master. taom is clean and works well for me. only thing I don't like is that when I miscue, the taom sometimes get burned onto the cb. re: spin, I don't notice a difference...

nice..some youtube clips of the interview

hi bob, thanks for the tip. reading further, the site from which I grabbed the factoid itself says: "1907: The first mention of eight-ball; it probably evolved from pyramid and other forms of pool in the early 1900s." "1908: Eight-ball is first recorded as being played in the USA." shamos...

not sure if it counts for you, as I guess it's not 8-ball as we know it?, but: "Another interesting player to consider as the best ever is Albert M. Frey, who was winning nearly every match almost as soon as the first native American pool games had been invented. According to Michael Phelan...

dunno if you saw my post above, but I'm picking up what you're laying down I don't have a table here, but I picked up a cue and tried my loop bridge "for draw" you appear to've confirmed what I suspected..my middle finger is supporting to the side so, I think even more so now that I can get my...

thanks for stumbling onto this, and sharing, arnaldo! great read from a historic event-

I relate to this, do others, I wonder? I have a few ideas I think could be working separately, but more likely in cahoots my cue balance isn't forward enough for my liking, so when I use an open bridge, I feel less secure drawing the ball- mental insecurity is leading to physical insecurity...

horrible news. dazz is a fave, sending him healthy healthy wishes!!

don't know if/how he plays these days, but this question reminds me of jason klatt. always admired his game.

not an instructor, but I disagree that you can't continue to improve you yourself identified both the problem and the solution, so..? as suggested above, concentration takes practice to master you've improved with time, and work, so just keep going..

I certainly feel fortunate to be able to access the minds on this forum, fran not least (who incidentally was also given props in fancher's "pleasures of small motions")

without having much experience with the term, this is what I thought. but I honestly dunno. yea, it's counterintuitive to me- but I saw him do it I was lined up in front of of the shot, while the butt remained centered with the cb, but the tip went different places.. I could be wrong, but I...

I was told recently that it's good to keep the butt of the cue lined up through the heart of the cb while shooting, regardless of shot angle/aim one reason, I was told, is that this helps transmit as much energy as possible through the cue ball, and consequently, the object ball question 1: is...

good watch/listen..would love to see more long-form interviews in pool

I hear you and I do watch plenty of pro pool. obviously there's a lot of good stuff there. this said, I know for a fact that I've gotten a lot of good stuff outta this forum, too..there's more than one way to shine a penny

thanks fran, I hear what you're saying the lesson I had was a one-off, so I'm not sure I'll be able to follow up on what I was initially taught this said, I'll try to let the lesson sink in a bit, before jumping on here to question it ^_^

hu, I actually just had a lesson with double j hisself (my first "proper" lesson!) and we spent some time discussing/playing with this very idea.. pretty interesting, tho I admit a lot of what we discussed went through my ears..I allegedly have the thing taped, but will have to see, then see ^_^...

thanks fran. I admit I'm not convinced either way, but I appreciate your perspective on it and I agree with what y'all are saying about the shot line..going to keep up with that and see how it goes I actually had my first proper lesson yesterday and we worked on my stroke a lot, was a neat...

yep, no one pays perfect all the time. don't psych yourself out before you play. play as good as you can, mental and physically, and see what happens..
