    The road to recovery day 1

    Hey Ray, I watched your video. IMO, your fundamentals do need work BEFORE going into things such as pattern play, cb control (spin etc..etc). I am a fundamentals guy and IMO.....your game will be no stronger than your fundamentals. That holds especially true under pressure. When we get put...

    Anyone purchased a REVO CUSTOM?

    thanks for taking the time to answer those questions. Your shaft weighing 4.1 oz should have at least a small amount of weight added by way of weight bolts somewhere in the shaft. Since it's a quick release joint the weights may be very small or even be a type of material that magnets aren't...

    The road to recovery day 1

    Playing the ghost is fun and is a great way to "test" what you learn in drills/practice. It sounds to me that you need to spend less time PLAYING and more time working on fundamentals. After you get your fundamentals ironed out...then you will have something to work with to be more accurate at...

    Ball Polisher

    I have a friend that's had a ballstar cleaner for a long time and he loves it. He told me the older ballstars are better than the newer ballstars. It seems everything was made better back when...more metal, less plastic. Bigger, more powerful motors that would last a life time. Nowadays, not so...

    Ball Polisher

    I know several people that have built their own balls polishers and most of them work pretty good and some of them work extremely well for the money spent. If I had been physically able, I would have built my own but it just wasn't worth the hassle. Heck, I do good to just walk around the...

    Playing the ghost is NOT EASY

    Yes sir...there are some that think AZB is full of nothing but "talkers" but there are lots of good players here and a few really strong players. Like you, I like that come get some attitude. Confidence is SSSOOOOO important. OP: TinMan gives online lessons and I believe you would be a good...

    Playing the ghost is NOT EASY

    The injuries are tough and the recovery is as usually...the hard part. I'm still a long ways from even bending to look at my feet, much less bend over to play pool but I'll get there. I understand about the never getting to put the time, work or what not into the game. It's the same for most...

    Ball Polisher

    If there's no budget, I would go diamond. There's others that are good quality as well but IMO, diamond are better than most and add to that, diamond billiards stands behind what they sell. Diamond has quality products and provide great service AFTER the sale and that is a hard combo to find...

    Playing the ghost is NOT EASY

    Your welcome sir. But one thing.....DON'T BE QUIET..... Yes, what you said is true we need nice folks and all but to be a good pool player you HAVE to have a great amount of confidence. Of course there are many more variables to be considered such as your stance, stroke etc etc...etc but NONE...

    Can you play decent pool using both your right and left hands?

    No need to be a switch hitter. My cue is 76" with butt extension. Plus, if you play on 10' tables, it doesn't matter what hand you use...your using a bridge or a llooonnnngg cue unless you play PERFECT position every single shot. Having said that, if you play on a BB or even a 9' table you can...

    Playing the ghost is NOT EASY

    Hu, you know good and well that you've give the ghost more than his share of beat downs. Casper's first cousin Whitey had to get counseling over the beating you put on him. Jeff

    Anyone purchased a REVO CUSTOM?

    Out of curiosity: How much does the shaft weigh? Where is the shaft's balance point when measuring from the joint end? How far from the joint end are the weights placed in the shaft? How many inches (approximately) do the weights span inside the shaft? What is the pin type? Whats the diameter...

    Playing the ghost is NOT EASY

    I broke my back in 5 places and that put a slight kink in many shots at the table. For the above reason I was unable to break very hard and still play....so, I did what you do and throw em out....shoot em in. I just had my 4th back fusion and hopefully don't have but 1 more to go. I'm hoping...

    The road to recovery day 1

    Just saw your thread Ray. If you have a way of recording your sets and posting them, it would be a really good way for some to give you advice. BTW, seeing yourself playing on video is an eye opener for most people. You will see things you didn't even know you do. Recording is a fantastic way...

    Playing the ghost is NOT EASY

    6 ball ghost???? No offense intended but something tells me you got a ways to go. The way you came out, I figured you was putting a beat down on the 10, 11 and 12 ball ghost. Again, no offense intended. We all had to start somewhere. BTW, I would still like to see your vid. Jeff

    Playing the ghost is NOT EASY

    I don't know your skill level or how long you've been playing but....I LOVE the come and get some attitude. Lockdown, virus or not, we can still match up for AZB to watch. Like most all on here know....I'm still healing from from back surgeries but as soon as I'm healed up: Count me in. BTW...
