    2 Aiming/Sighting Issues

    I think my aim is pretty good for pocketing balls, but I have a tough time sending an OB to a spot on a rail near a pocket. If the 8 ball is near a pocket and in the way for one of my last shots, and I have a chance to bump it out early, I go for the chance. However, my arm reminds me that the...

    Right-handed shooter that's left eye dominant???

    Aim vs stroke I have to take issue with this statement. Some see learning to aim and stroke as a chicken and egg thing, one before the other. An analogy in rifle shooting is this. If you pick up a rifle for the first time and shoot 10 shots and they all hit the target below the bullseye, is...

    Current Most Popular/Best Break and Jump Cues

    Gulyassy I have tried a lot of cues. I try cues more because I look for new things to try (I'm the same way with computers). My problem is that I can break well one day with any cue and poorly the next with the same cue. I believe that I am the weak link in my break because I do not put the...

    the "v" a question to all coaches out there

    It's tough to figure this one out The OP started a post about how a "V" in your grip hand at finish can somehow improve your game. I have never heard this and don't quite understand how or why this can/should be done. I try to keep my forefinger off my cue until the end, at which point it is...

    The headless hottie I'm guessing this chick is the wife/girlfriend of someone on AZB since everything above the dress was whited out.

    Valley Home Table

    Thanks For The Help The table was assembled in Mexico. It was purchased new from Scheels and delivered in one piece (and it was still packaged when they delivered it so I am sure it is original). I did have it recovered because the table played way too slow. The cloth is wrapped underneath...

    Las Vegas Pool Rooms

    I am going to Vegas for a convention Feb 1 through Feb 5 and need to keep my practice up for a tournament the following weekend. Is there any pool halls near the strip that I can practice in? I am not an action player, would just like to practice for a few hours a few times while I am there...

    Valley Home Table

    I have a Valley 7 foot home table and I noticed that the felt rails do not come up as high as the laminate rails. Should I put a couple pieces of felt under the slate at the supports or can I get enough play out of the rail bolts to adjust this? I have the slate off now because I am trying to...

    Bourque Cue

    I just bought a used Bourque Cue on ebay because I was interested in the joint and craftmanship (I doubt it could rival my Schuler for hit, just want to try it and understand the concept). Can anyone explain the joint and/or the history of the bourque cue? On his website, he calls it a...

    Natural ability VS. Trained ability

    Not worth arguing about People do not have "natural talent for pool" per se. What the great ones have is great muscle memory, great memory of position/tracks, great hand-eye coordination, the ability to understand the geometry, concentration, and the ability to control their body/know what...

    My new Gulyassy Jump/Break Cue

    Thank you Mike for the stunningly beautiful break cue. What a hit this thing has (as does my teammates that he has had for a month or two). This thing is destroying the racks. I probably didn't need one with inlays quality wood, but I love it and plan to get a lot of years out of it. Also...

    Observations from a "Rack Your Own" League

    Our 8-ball bar table league started playing "rack your own" and we are now a few month into it. I was strictly against it because it concedes that there is poor sportsmanship in the game and I don't think it is fair to lose a game without ever getting out of your chair (at least you used to be...

    marking similar shafts

    If you have a few shafts that look the same, how do you mark them so you can tell them apart? Marker on the joint face seems to smear.
