Here's another I heard back in the day: Cole beat a guy out of some money but wouldn't pay up. Cole told his father. So his father took Cole back to the poolroom. Cole's father told the guy he better pay up or they'd have to go out back and hash things out...

Not much of a story. Just some filler I heard. Bucktooth used to own a poolhall in Castro Valley. He hired Cole to work there. He didn't last long. Cole was playing pool all the time and not taking care of the counter. I'd think Cole was probably 14 or 15, because when Cole was 16, no one...

Here's one for ya... Cole Dickson vs. Richie Florence https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/cole-dickson-vs-richie-florence.273731/

Give me a couple of weeks/months and I will prove to you that any average person with average eyes and intelligence with no physical handicaps can be a great player. That is, if they have the "knowledge." See, if you don't know where you're going and/or know how to get there, most likely even...

Hey there. Where you from? I'm from Fremont. A high school buddy of mine used to play golf with Cole. He told me about Cole wrapping his clubs around a tree because golf was hurting his stroke. My friends name was John Treglown (or something like this.) John had an older brother that was a...

Did you read the one I posted in this forum a few years back about when Cole played Ritchie Florence? Search for it. Let me know.

As you say, it is not a grind for you. I am referring to someone who is making an effort to get better as he practices for at least 2 hours every day, yet is not making progress, for whatever reason. Imagine hitting a million balls and still not reaching the goal after many many years...

"At best"? Sounds like I'd quit you after about 5 minutes. pj chgo Even most of the pros are not racing around the regulation 9-ball table. And I'm not talking about the pros. I'm talking, conservatively, about someone with none or limited knowledge and experience pretty much starting from...

I see. I don't know what the action is like at bars these days. If you frequent a single bar or only a few, your level of play is well known. Are you in it for the money? Many years ago, there was action on bar tables. $5 ring games in 1975. You could make a living, maybe, with your stated...

You're a funny guy. What was your win/loss? How many balls did you make, how many balls did you miss? How many shots do you / did you, know / not know what the hell you were doing? I suppose the idea is if you don't know what you're doing or have limited knowledge, by just practicing you will...

At best, it takes 30 seconds to make one shot. So a million balls takes 30 sec. times 1 million balls equals 500,000 minutes. 500,000 minutes divided by 60 minutes per hour equals 8333 hours. Let's say you practice for 2 hours per day, every single day. 8333 hours divided by 2 hours per day...

What a coincidence. I go on YouTube every night and search for any good video that I can watch while I'm brushing my teeth. And I got one here that unbelievably shows Pat Flemming listening to Grady and Billy live on his earpiece. Check it out at 42:06 here, 9-Ball - David Howard vs Buddy Hall...

It is so tough these days to come up with an original idea. I tried. Thanks for the info. Got a link where I can get the particulars?

Just thought of this "innovation" that Mike Howerton of AZBilliards can implement and offer to the spectators at Accu-Stats covered pool events. Accu-Stats does offer online live streaming. But it has a significant actual time delay probably on the order of 15+ seconds. I am thinking that if...

okay. after this I am going to take the advice some of you will be happy with. Watch the pros. Even Keith with his side arm stroke. Every one of them have their dominant eye directly over the cue stick such that they can see if the cue stick center line is directly over the shot line on the...

"Aiming is knowing where to deliver the CB." No it's not. Knowing where to deliver the CB, is knowing where to deliver the CB. There is no aiming in this knowing. Aiming begins when you use this "knowing" and ends when you execute the shot. You may not think about it when you carry this out...

To precisely place the bridge in the proper place you must use your eyes aiming to do this. To precisely place the cue stick within the bridge curl you use your eyes to aim by adjusting your fingers. To precisely place the cue stick at the proper height you use your eyes to aim the bridge...

Do you even know what parallax is? In pool, where it shows up? How to recognize it? How it can effect your shot? How to correct/eliminate it? All of these things are easily answered. Ever miss a shot by a foot? And corrected as easily as snapping your fingers. But maybe some people like...

"hmmm, not really." Really? Okay then. How do you aim? I aim with my eyes. Every aspect of the shot that requires aiming, I aim with my eyes. No? Okay. Then get down over your shot and immediately close your eyes. You can't correct for parallax. You can't align the cue stick or place the...

Certainly sxxt happens. But did you consistently aim properly and send the cue ball accurately to your target with the proper action on this shot? If you did then you have done nothing wrong, you've done everything right, and you can depend on doing that the next time and so on and on. Job...
