I still suck at picking the pattern but... Do you record yourself playing when shooting alone? I knew my patterns weren't the best but when I started recording myself playing I could really see how wrong I was with some shots. It's really caused me to spend some time looking over the table and...

Tried to give you some rep but it says I haven't spread myself around enough. You are better with words than I. I haven't checked the link in the last couple days but it looks like the total trying to be raised is around 5k which seems a little more in line with what some are saying here.

So don't donate, donate to the ones that you believe in, or donate to all. There is no one forcing you to donate to any cause. I'm sure there are many scams and such on there but then again I'm the type of guy that will give some random homeless guy out there a few dollars, I don't go back and...

Okay, you drew me in. How exactly is this offensive to you?

I've started posting some of my games on youtube and welcome any feedback. https://www.youtube.com/user/dockter57103/videos

That's why I let the thread die here. I don't know the young lady, just know she is local and figured I would try to help her raise a little money to make the trip happen. I should have known better than to post it here. :)

No for the most part we just talked about our balls. :)

I hear you lol, I'm still trying to finish my first rack which is easy for a lot of you. I practice alone for 2-4 hours twice-three times a week and finding 14.1 has been a life saver. It gets boring drilling and shooting racks of 8 and 9 ball. Even in the short time of shooting 14.1 I can see...

I'll move the camera when I get out tomorrow and see if I can position it without the it being in the way of the table. I'll admit I do struggle with playing the right pattern at pretty much any game at this stage.

I'm assuming he meant in the quick way he dispatched his opponents.

Thanks Dan. You are correct about that being the main breakshot I use for the most part because it gives me the best spread. I then try all game to leave another ball close to the side because it's the main break I've tried. I'm going to take your advice and try other break shots so that I can...

Lmao, thanks for that, I was about to go into shock. :) Now I'll give everyone something to make fun of me for. I finally got out and recorded a couple games this week. I know you probably can't help much from the small sample size but if anyone wants to take a look and give any suggestions to...

I read her story today on Facebook and thought it would be cool to try and help her out. Anyone interested here is the link. http://www.gofundme.com/wfrtajw4

Man this sucks but at least you have some help that runs the Junior league. Hopefully by some miracle they find your bag and your son can get his cue back. Wishing you and your son luck.

I will agree from a business stand point it makes perfect sense to eliminate competition. That being said it doesn't make it right or flood a positive light on the game we all love. Hopefully it's handled better in the future or they just agree to compete for the viewing audience.

Shane's bar in Sioux Falls is the only place that has 7ft Diamonds and a nice 9 footer that anyone can shoot on. It's only open to everyone on the weekends when they are busy. I love shooting down there but if I go there on a Friday or Saturday I get pissy because so many people are using the...

That would be different Jay. The players both had the choice and would know their schedule. By what could disqualify him from the MC is a strong arm tactic. I'm sure there have been players losing and asked for a break when the other players backer said no, keep playing, if they didn't want to...

I hope Matchroom rethinks what events give points after this. It's one thing to say you are barred from playing in our events but to say it will also cost you someone else’s event too is absurd. Would this be nearly the big deal it was if MC points weren't awarded in said events?

I don't have a table at home so when I noticed my stroke was kind of waving I took my girlfriend's mirror, set up a card table and shot into a pop bottle. It has actually helped me stroke straighter and I can see how I'm aligned. That being said if it doesn't effect your shot don't worry about...

Who was it that said "you know it takes this guy 3 hours to watch 60 Minutes he's so slow?" :)
