    A Closer look at L.D. Shafts

    purchasing Duckie While I agree with your statement that speed control is a big factor in cue success, I disagree with your generalizations of why people purchase LD shafts. I do not buy LD shafts (and I do know that they should be called Low Squirt shafts) for the speed control. I buy a...

    diagnosing stroke fundamentals

    minot Gene, It is good to hear from you and I hope all of your projects are going well. We are without a pool hall in Minot unfortunately. Leagues seem to be doing well, but it will be interesting to effects of the job market and the new no-smoking policy. NORTH DAKOTA IS NON-SMOKING. I...

    diagnosing stroke fundamentals

    I think that one rail kick shots to an easy ball in the corner may be a better guage of stroke straightness than hitting balls straight in. I didn't get to play as much this summer as I usually do due to work, so getting in the groove has been tougher. In order to see what I need to work on, I...

    10 YEAR OLD TIME CAPSULE POST ...Is the world ready for cues to evolve?

    not available in US If you can buy them, I'd pay you to get me some 13 mm and send them to the US. They won't ship here. I'd just like to try them for fun.

    On The Road Again with Perfect Aim....

    wow I'm not going to defend my game, but I've done well in large local tournaments while holding down a 55-70 hr/week job and a family. We have no access to live teachers where I live, so I get all of my information from dvd's and tapes. I understand the concepts of ghost ball, stroke, and...

    Gene Albrecht

    comments Comments like these are why I drastically cut down on reading posts because there is so much latent animosity in what should be simple conversations. Someone comments on how good Gene's playing and then some knuckle-dragger has to inject dumb comments about how this post must be a...

    Why Pool is devastated by the new Smoking Laws.

    I know what u mean bro. I was in the bar last night with my gas powered genset running so i could charge my ipad. People we're aholes about trying to get to shut it off. So it was a little loud and fumey. Nothing but complainers. Heck i even offered to charge their phones and the still...

    On The Road Again with Perfect Aim....

    Aiming Theory I'm not in to these long aiming thread arguments, but I want to make a few points. 1. I disagree strongly with people that knock "aiming before stroke". Granted, a poor stroke may not pocket balls. But I've watched people that aim at the wrong spot on the cue ball and object...

    Revolutionary I took the lesson yesterday, after my girlfriend. I'll write a review in the "instructor" review area as soon as I can, but all I need to say is wow. This has revolutionized my game, my girlfriend's game, and my teammate's game. I have to apply it for a few nights to get the...

    Do we miss because we jump up, or do we jump up because we miss??

    I do both I can honestly remember nights where I was jumping up because I knew I was not aimed correctly, causing a miss, and I've had nights where I move my head/jumped up causing me to miss. For me, either scenario is possible if I'm out of stroke/alignment, but the issues have different...

    North Dakota Weather has been amazing, am now thinking we'll have a warm dry spring. Check the weather the week before you come, be prepared for bad weather if it is in the forecast, and be prepared for anything. Do not assume you will get car rentals or rooms when you get to minot. Rooms...

    Jerry Briesath "A Pool Lesson"

    I am impressed with the volume and breadth of the knowledge taught in this 3 DVD set. I have seen many of the instructional videos commercially available and there are a lot of good ones, but this set offers a wide range of knowledge and nuggets of information I hadn't heard before. Jerry...

    Shanelle Loraine vs. Borana Andoni "Battle of the Billiard Beauties" @Sandcastle ,NJ

    Not a upside to this thing I'm not one to knock someone's game, so I'll just say that I would have walked out. I tried to watch the free replay stream, but couldn't get past the first rack. I can watch myself miss balls if that's what I want to see. I know there are good players out there...

    tips on getting a tight rack?

    rub the cloth with medium pressure to smooth the dimples, turn the rack to try the other two sides of the triangle and adjust the balls so that the numbers face each other. also change headball if the front balls wont tighten up. Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
