    One Pocket Lessons (expensive)

    It is good to see the criticism that everone throws in for free. ALL 8 pages of it. If you have interest in learning call the man. If you dont, simply take no action. The First step in learning is to LISTEN. One cannot listen his best whilst TALKING. Much less so if it is an "I am so...

    For the Science Guys #1

    The almighty 'Throw Stroke' The bottom line is, NO ROLL on the cueball when it hits the obj ball, is the key to transferring the max spin. Some folks slightly elevate, to 'skip' the cueball into the object ball. Stiffening the hand/wrist can be helpful to some players, to avoid an accidental...

    1-Pocket Break Question

    I agree with your observations about the opponents ball coming out, but I think its more from the angle of the hit rather than the spin. On decently clean balls Ive had little trouble with that - Adjusting the cue away from the rail helps, because of the obs. you made - too much of ball 2 =...

    1-Pocket Break Question

    Actually, the inside serves a purpose. You can Hit the balls Harder if you use more - the reverse english on the botom rail Kills the cueball, the amount of top you use serves three purposes - one, to minimize deflection caused by the inside you use, and two, on a new enough cloth it kills the...

    8-Ball shot speed...on first ball

    Lock em up Its different on every shot - Whatever it takes to hit med speed or above, and park the rock froze to a rail somewhere. Every time. Dont play straight in for it, keep a little angle.....To let you get to the other end of the table, to an end rail....

    Anyone using a LePro tip ???

    Yep, use them over a triangle anyday.... Great tips. BUT you dont just glue them on. Either smush a tad in a vise(just enough to take crown out of the tip) or hit it with a 16 oz hammer about 5-6 times while it is taped down to a concrete floor. It will play about like an older triangle, a...

    Shot Question for Pros and AZBers. :thumbup:

    Actually this is a shot I practice. The amount of OUTSIDE you use determines how much the ball throws towards the pocket. Tip low left MEDIUM SPEED spin it hard shoot it easy gets u to nearer the center of that rail. LESS LEFT AND PLAYING MORE THE ANGLE OF THE SHOT takes the cue...

    Have you ever been Hustled???

    Hells Yeah.... I was in a bar pokin balls around, 5/10 a game keep table. A hippie gets up and says lets play for 20. I beat him. I hold table, he is up 6-7 games later, and we play again. He says lets go for 20 again. I win. 1 Guy goes broke, a bar-whore takes another customer away....It...

    Shot Question for Pros and AZBers. :thumbup:

    I started to suggest you throw the ball with right english upon seeing the first thread. The deal here is this - you use a slightly different stroke than just a draw stroke. That is the secret to pool. Mastering all the strokes. Wen hit properly, the cueball will barely be rolling...

    Where is Johnny Archer in history?

    I think you missed my point. Through the nineties, I saw them both in many many tournaments, and after hours, before hours, and during hours, I saw archer in action several times. I have never seen Earl playing outside a tournament, since the late eighties. Therein lays the answer to...
