    Help with my stroke

    I agree, I need to get lower and I was surprised with how high on the cue I actually was. I had knee surgery about a year ago and put on a lot of weight plus a back problem from when I played high school football so it's tough to get really low and be comfortable but I'm going to try some new...

    Help with my stroke

    I would love to play one pocket but no one around here does. Same with banks and I should try 14+1 but the only thing people play around here are 8 ball. I practice 9 and 10 ball but if I'm hoping someone will walk in and ask to play I pretty much have to be shooting 8 ball or they walk by. I...

    Help with my stroke

    I would if I could afford it right now. Car took a crap, I put a new alternator in, that didn't help. I put a new battery in and that didn't help. Got pissed and bought a new car lol. I will be look for an instructor in the future though when I can put enough money together.

    Help with my stroke

    Thanks a ton for all that. First, the practice strokes are something I'm going to try changing right away because that seems like a pretty easy change and I think it will really help. It's going to take breaking some habits but I completely agree with your assessment of me changing my aim...

    Help with my stroke

    Thanks, can't give you a greenie yet but I tried. I appreciate the feedback and I'm going to take some more video Wednesday at the start of my session. After rewatching I agree with Fran, I look lazy as hell. These were probably some of the worst videos to post to be honest. I'm not very good...

    Help with my stroke

    I assure you I normally don't shoot this "lazy", I took this when I was 2 hours into shooting by myself and thought it may make me practice a little harder. That being said I know what you are saying. Also, thanks for pointing out that area at 4:26. I didn't even realize I did that and have no...

    Help with my stroke

    I was hoping to and he was actually near my area last week, unfortunately I didn't have enough cash to do it right now. :(

    Help with my stroke

    Thanks much for that. That was the first thing I seen in my video. My arm popping out a few times and it looked like I had a weird grip in which I didn't notice at all while shooting. I also didn't realize how high I am over my cue on a lot of my shots. I'm normally decent with draw and stop...

    Help with my stroke

    Thanks DJ. I was shooting half decent ( for me ) before I turned on the camera and then I started getting frustrated fast. I know I rush a lot of my shots and I agree, I need to take a couple more practice strokes and slow down in general. Hell, I don't even know if I chalked in that video.

    Help with my stroke

    Well I finally found some time to video myself today and I didn't realize how terrible my stroke is. I've long said I'm the worst shooter on the forum and after watching myself shoot I'm pretty sure I was right. If someone that has some experience as an instructor or hell anyone for that...

    Yet Another Opinion On The Hustlers Debut...

    I enjoyed it but I'm not looking to it as a documentry of pool or expect it to be an indepth show about pool. It's meant to bring in the general public. I'm lucky to have a good group of people in my area so they checked it out. There were a good amount that liked it and some that didn't. The...

    the hustlers

    Let them, maybe then I will find someone I can beat in cash games. :) Mikey, if you see this, did Predator throw some money into the show? Seen some patches and what not and just want an idea of what industry folks are throwing money into it because I seen not many are helping.

    Please take a quick look at my break and run video

    I've watched a lot of your videos and I prefer the unedited. It would probably be different if you were one of them that spend 3 minutes studying a shot but either way nice shooting man.

    the hustlers

    I have seen some negative comments but I'm actually liking it lol. Yeah, it isn't really for the hardcore pool crowd but the drama gets people to watch that have never picked up a cue. My girlfriend even got into it and she has never hit a ball. That being said, I'm sure it was scripted but...

    The biker fight in Waco made me wonder

    Sturgis is a great place the week before and the week after. The week of is madness. Seen a couple but heard of a whole lot of people getting beat pretty bad just for walking to close to certain people. It's like old high school drama with the cliques but on steroids.

    The biker fight in Waco made me wonder

    You got to love Jimmy Graves reply. I'm sure that's what they were there for, to debate helmet laws and how harsh the biker community is treated... Police have said five biker gangs from across Texas had gathered in part to settle differences over turf. Jimmy Graves, who described himself...

    The biker fight in Waco made me wonder

    Depends when you catch them. If you run into one at a bar and he is there alone most of them turn out to be alright guys. You get them around their "pack' then it's a whole different story. I'm from South Dakota and just hope this shit don't spill over to Sturgis this August.
