Just looked it up; is it the 'happy gilmour' break? I think this could be the piece I need to complete my game!

Does anyone remember Super Monkey Ball?

Thanks

Presumably all calculated to the point where the tip contacts the CB (rather than where the center of the tip is pointing)?

Your description sounds to me like you concentrate very intensely, then let up and relax. Which is inevitable—we can only concentrate for so long. (The book Willpower by Tierney & Baumeister has a lot of good information about this, if you're particularly interested.) With sustained practice...

I used to use a short visualization routine before getting to the venue. Briefly, it involved first thinking about (recreating the experience in my mind) of feeling relaxed, engaged in what I was doing, and confident, then holding onto that feeling, and visualizing playing while feeling way. It...

It's getting to where it's difficult to find any genuinely useful information. Very often when you go looking, the first few pages of google results have low quality and trite information, I'd guess not AI, but written by people without insight who are just looking for clicks. Perhaps the...

I think that's the nub of the problem. One man's big angle is another man's small angle...

I think the concept of the article is an interesting proposition: You have a very short article (this one is 624 words) in which to significantly improve the ability or level of play of a typical beginner (who is presumably interested enough to read an article on AZ, but still a casual player)...

What's the clearest way to explain size of angles into /out from rails? Some of the options that come to mind are: Steeper / flater Wider / Narrower Longer / shorter Bigger angle / smaller angle Ideally you'd have words that are self-explanatory and everyone understands intuitively, to avoid...

This is a minor head-scratcher for me. What's the clearest way to explain angles in/out from rails? Ideally you'd have words that are self-explanatory and everyone understands intuitively, to avoid having to provide definitions. But I don't think I've found the right language yet. Do you mind...

@Island Drive @Black-Balled All valid concerns. It would need a lot of work to get it right in practice, if it would work. But at the very least a low and steady temperature, and allowing it to run for a while before play, could have a reasonable effect on the table. There are lots of more...

Something I'm interested in is infrared heaters. In theory an infrared heater with the correct output (positioned in the lighting unit and using the same power supply) could heat a table in the same manner as a heated-slate set-up, but cheaper and with easier installation. You can also get...

Personal temperament seems to be a big factor in how people respond to these situations. I see a match against a better player as an exciting challenge, and I'm looking for ways to win. But that comes to me naturally. One of the things I try to consider at the start of my innings is if I let...

Interesting to see a couple of entries from the USA in Morocco (for the older age groups). Is 2-inch pool becoming a thing there? (TBH, if 7ft tables are becoming the norm, it makes sense.)

If you're interested, if you PM me your address I can have a copy sent. Call it a thankyou for your help.

What are your rules for Pool 300?

Does that mean you've seen a copy? By the way, I was meaning to check whether you'd heard anything from Buddy?

The political division is ridiculous. They both pretend it's because of what they think the rules should be, but both changed from the forerunners of World Rules and Blackball, to those more attacking (and similar) versions. The problem is, to have any reconciliation, both bodies - at the same...

I hadn't heard of Lulu. (I'm pretty new to self-publishing and have published through Amazon and looked at IngramSpark.) One of the things I liked about Amazon was your book is immediately available there. I know IngramSpark (and Lulu, it looks like) distribute to Amazon, but in practice, does...
