That's it! (The one I was referring to that I could not find.) Yep. Kudos to you!

I seem to recall a solution to this from a post way back but can't find it. I've watched several videos I found but have yet to find what I saw. I don't recall if someone just wrote a posted answer or provided a video but I think it was a video. Issue is when cue ball is real close to object...

Why? What is 'incorrect' about this? FWIW, I saw a female pro do this recently on a youtube match. I assume you mean when someone gets down on the object ball as if it is the cue ball and they are going to shoot it directly into the pocket... and that point where they would strike the object...

I def do NOT mean aim the cue ball's center. Above, I said... "I envision where the cue ball, on its curved surface, will strike that contact point." If it was not clear from the OP, hopefully, this is cleared up. There are two 'spots' to be concerned with in my 'system.' The spot on the object...

Is that due to skid or throw or swerve or one of these other terms I am trying to internalize? Lotsa terms to sort out, lol. But really, exactly what do you mean by that? TIA! I think you are partly, but not wholly, correct. A proper stroke striking the cue ball on the intended line is key and...

LOL, I note your sig... A simple game, played by difficult people... We could flip that. A difficult game played by simple people... !!!

I think there is some truth in that. As far as general play concerns... When I watch tv matches, I am thinking that the general public (where new pool fans could come from) does not understand how hard the game is. That the pros are not just shooting shots and making some tricky ones... that...

Does what I described in the OP seem to be the same as ghost ball? To me, from what I have read, it does. As I said, I get behind the ball-pocket line and pick what I see as the contact point. I keep that precise spot in my eye and go back and take my stance. Then I envision where the cue ball...

This is a really complicated game to get beyond C player! Wow, there is a lot to pool. I don't know as much as most on here. As I attempt to learn more to get better, here's one thing that bugs me. An aiming system. Or the lack thereof. Over my life of shooting pool casually here and there...

What are the reasons someone would be great on barbox but not longer tables? Or did they just get get at barbox because that is where the action was?

It seems that most tv matches are played on tournament blue color cloth. Why is that your favorite to play on if it is and if it isn't, why do you prefer something else?

I have Brunswick Centennials. I would like a multi dot ball; which one should I get and what is the exact name to buy?

First, I note that in 1965, $1 was worth over $8 in 2021 money! Second, that Willis guy has quite a writeup, what an athlete, what a hustler: Don Willis

If you buy a cue in, say, 13mm and later decide it's too thick and you want, say, 12.75mm, can you 'fix' this with a repair, can you sand it (whatever "it" is) down or must you buy another shaft? Is the diameter pertaining to just the tip or tip/ferrule or is it also the end of the shaft or just...

I have seen videos of lessons where adhesive markers are used so you can practice the pattern multiple times. Are these just the round dots you can buy at office supply? I have seen something Sharkmarks and that's cool but wondering if some everyday something can be used.

I saw that yesterday, been watching it! He is really good.

Dadgum it, google maps found it and says "permanently closed." Was dreaming of a road trip!

What happened, did he get it fixed? Did he not have a spare cue? I assume you can have a spare?

Just curious if it's ever happened that, somehow, a pro player broke a tip and also on the backup cue and had to finish the match with no tip. Or maybe both cues broke somehow. Stuff like that has happened in golf. I've seen amateurs break their putters (on purpose) and have to finish with a...

What does this mean? You put down a piece of cloth? If so, how/where?
