    The Mosconi slipstroke

    In one of Mosconi's instructional videos he says ( in reference to "grip"): "....in gripping this thing, you do not grip it like a baseball bat or a golf club, it [the butt] should be held very loosely in the hand, so loosely that when you're swinging this thing, it will have the tendency to...

    Team USA qualification series announced

    It is what it is. A contest between party A and party B. The classic tale of rivalry. The team doesn't matter, the reason doesn't matter. It's us versus them is all that matters. And we be us, so go us

    Team USA qualification series announced

    Apparently Darren has been doing some heavy duty leveraging. His events just became by far more critical to the team race than they were before. Which also adds extra pressure to he and his team, to produce [first time] events that are worthy of their designation. I don't like the late...

    Why does pool attract so many broken, crazy, Degenerate, mental type people.

    As does stock trading, the government, and the porn industry.

    The BeCue System - Carbon Composite Cue - Interview with the Cue Makers

    Funny thing is, I purposely avoided reading anyone's review until I tried the cue myself, in order to avoid preconceived notions or bias based on someone else's opinion. So I tried the cue last night, and then came here to read what people said, to see if my experience was the same or at least...

    The Mosconi slipstroke

    I have good Mosconi footage and a lot of it. After a while you start to notice that Willie had somewhat fidgety hands. His hands had a mind of their own and were almost constantly making minute adjustments to his grip at any given time. Not large adjustments but small subtle ones, which...

    Rambow

    Good work Tate Interestingly enough, Herman's daughter was married to the Pranno family. Have a gander at their family history in Chicago organized crime. Fortunately the Pranno that Loretta married was not directly involved in mob activity, but I can easily see Herman's name being passed...

    Antique Table Playability, good or bad?

    The good thing about antique tables is that most of them (from the better companies) are built very sturdy, and they are typically more aesthetically pleasing than the average table today. But, unfortunately, most antique tables were built to a slightly different set of specs than tables today...
