Sorry, I was mistaken You are correct, I was thinking Helena Thornfeldt. It was Julie.

Pro Pool For The Masses? I thought it was done well and I think that non-pool players or bar players might enjoy it more, but it seems too broken up to appeal to me. I'll watch again, but there is no flow because someone different is shooting each next shot. Also, for some reasons the player...

It was such a sham job. KT and Sigel are best friends, so Sigel got the spot. And I believe that Sigel has been credited a win in a major tournament (KOTH 2005) because he beat LJJ. With all of the talk he did about women and pool, I can't wait to see him eliminated by any woman in the IPT...

I'll pay for homemade pocket reducers-see below Yes, I am trying to improve my ball-pocketing skills. I have the pocket reducers but they don't make the pocket act like a pocket. Does anyone want to make me better pocket reducers for $ that I could take off when I want to? I would like it...

I have a valley table with standard pockets. Is there a kit I can buy to get rails and cornerplates that make the pockets tighter? Any info would be appreciated.

I applaud your desire to change. My teammate has the same problem, he learned how to play pool when his arm was in a cast and his stroke hasn't been straight since I met him. He can play really well in tournaments but he can also miss easy shots in competition. I try to be supportive hoping...

Hello, I am fairly new to this game, have only played competitively for 4 years. Just last year I learned the joy and satisfaction of cue ball control versus poke and hope. I've really slowed my stroke down and made it much softer. I mainly play 8 ball (that is where the leagues and tourneys...

I am reading and 8-ball instructional book that talks about straight-rail sequences and 3C gather shots that really helped the authors 8-ball game but it doesn't explain the straight-rail sequence that well. Does the straight-rail sequence involve 2 or 3 balls? Please explain how it works...

No, I really am trying to find the correct book.

I have several instructional pool books (too many). Now I am trying to remember where I read about the 1 rail kick systems +1, +1/2 and -1/2. Basically (if I remember correctly, you estimate an equal angle kick then add or subtract one diamond (or 1/2) diamond depending upon the english...

I am was talking to a dealer about getting a custom schuler because I like the hit of a schuler so much and he said that Sterling (maker of Fury cues?) will laser engrave for him. Apparently you can have it done at the big tradeshows while you wait.

I am looking at getting a custom-made cue. Some have an option to laser engrave an image into the cue. Does this look good or bawdy? Does anyone have pictures of finish products?

I seem to be in the minority here, but getting ready to shoot while expecting the player to miss is the definition of sharking in my book. My teammate does the same thing and it is the only thing that can bother me. By doing this, you are telling the guy that he can't make the shot and getting...

Is it the shaft or the confidence that makes a good hit? I've tried the schon shaft, 314 shaft, i-3, tiger X, schuler SX, and Schuler No-Squirt. All of these shafts are acceptable, but what affects the hit more than anything is the confidence/trueness of the stroke. I'd play well each time I...

link broken - fixing The link takes you to my cue on ebay auction. It is a Schuler SLC-225 with an SX shaft in great shape and it hits awesome. I have 2 Schulers and need to sell one. If the link above doesn't work, it is item number 140004701935 on ebay. Thanks for looking.

TV Broadcast? Will this be broadcast? If so When? Is there any money involved or just pride?

I agree I am not normally a nay-sayer and I always want good things to happen to pool and I want to watch as much pool on TV as I can, but there is a dark side to the IPT. Four points below: 1. They mislead people by saying someone is "X-time world champion" or they have won "X tournaments"...

They are very novice, starting on DVD with how to hold a cue and easy drills. I haven't gotten to disc 3 yet, but even disc 2 is pretty basic. I haven't gotten any new knowledge that Byrne or the others haven't shared. KT is interjecting useless info all of the time for novices and it gets...

DVD's are not old, they are IPT These dvd's are not old, they were produced with the IPT and KT is right along for the ride interupting Sigel. These tapes are the ones they are currently advertising

In his "Perfect Pool" Instructional Series, Sigel makes 2 comments: 1. Play all cut shots with one tip of outside english. Isn't this short-sighted for teaching cue ball control? I was taught to start out with no english until I got the hang of where the cue ball was going and then learn...
