"I wanna shoot! I wanna shoot. Let me shoot. Come on, let me shoot." I know this kid. He pushes me all day, every day. And he won't shut up. I am just now beginning to tame this wild little rascal. You see, he doesn't care if he misses the shot, which he does more often than not. He just...

I say this now: "if I can SEE the shot, I can make it" But as you know, saying so and doing so are two different things. Seeing the shot essentially means understanding what must be done to make the shot. But doing what must be done is a completely different challenge. But it is also a rather...

You should be able to see which is the dominant eye used by these top players in Accu-Stats videos when the camera looks right up into the cue stick alignment or nearly so. This eye will most probably positioned directly above the cue stick. If you know where the eye must be placed, then you...

Yours is the ultimate pro strategy. What I am alluding to is the actual mechanics involved. For instance, the cue ball path is determined by the point of contact between the cue tip and the cue ball, and the contact point of the cue ball on the object ball. And the forces exerted at these...

You most nearly hit upon what I am thinking. First off, I am right-handed. And my dominant eye is the right. But when I get down into my stance, I feel like I have a tendency to lean right. This throws everything off. It seems like my body never really gets over the shot and settles in. It...

I think you are in the wrong thread. In this thread, I conclude summarizing with: "In the end the balls come to rest and you are responsible. And you will answer for it."

Similar to Schrodinger's Cat, as you stand before the pool table, no one knows for certain what the next shot will be. But once you decide where you want the cue ball to end up after the shot, the entire shot is precisely defined. Your decision includes the cue ball, the object ball, the pocket...

Are you right-handed or left-handed when you shoot? Which of your eyes is the dominant eye? Is one combination preferable to others? Right-handed + right-dominant eye or Right-handed + left-dominant eye? Left-handed + right-dominant eye or Left-handed + left-dominant eye? What's your...

What is it with you? Do you have a case on me? Did you open a case on me? Maybe you are the one who should be answering questions.

You are not the only one who reads my posts/replies. I'm sure many have benefited from what I have shared. Some get it. Some don't.

Many of your comments seems to be off topic for this forum. I'm really interested in the game and stories about its celebrated personalities.

Sure. I frequently played no-wager 9-ball at Hard Times with brother James Woods. That wasn't his real name but he liked to be called by that name. He once had me pretty well snookered with 7 or 8 balls still left on the table. Although I didn't make the ball, I did make a good 4-rail kick hit...

My goal is to make this straight in shot at least a minimum of 25 times in a row consistently. The following video is my attempt to make this cut shot once again. I previously posted two videos where I made it 3 times in a row twice. My short term goal is to make it 6 times in a row. And my...

It was around 1969 or so. There used to be a pool newspaper. It might have been called Billiard News or something. The pages were like half the size of a regular newspaper. It would arrive about once a week or twice a month or so at the poolhall. I'd look at it occasionally. If I...

On this free video hosting website, the videos only last 24 hours and are limited to 250MB and 10 minutes in length. One of my posted videos demonstrated my ability at the time to make a rather long straight in shot. In the video I made shot only 8 times in a row. That was last Tuesday, about...

If you don't mind telling us, what name did you play under? Maybe we can find a video of you so we can get an idea of your pocket billiards abilities. Thanks.

Well, that's a strong claim you're making with no plausible evidence whatsoever offered to support it. Let me say that I sat right next to Bob in the stands along side of table 9 and table 10 at Hard Times Bellflower. He told me that firsthand story. He said he was there and witnessed it with...

You might like this thread I posted some time ago. you can search for it here on AZB. i checked. it's still there waiting for you. Search for, Cole Dickson vs. Richie Florence

Speaking of the Accu-Stats Luat vs Dickson one-pocket match ,Cole was responsible for Luat having that final match winning shot. Even if you never heard of Cole Dickson, just from watching that video, you know Cole had excellent cue ball control and consistently placed it with impeccable...

Does pool get under your skin? "He tasks me. He tasks me and I shall have him. I'll chase him 'round the moons of Nibia and 'round the Antares Maelstrom and 'round perdition's flames before I give him up! " Khan in the movie, The Wrath of Khan.
