New meaning of influence Social media has caused a change in people's interpretation of "influence". For years it's meaning was; to have power to affect the purchasing decisions of individuals or entities. Now, due to social media, it is also interpreted as; having a following in a distinct...

Don't know character name or actors name but was the remaining part, the eye doctor?

I completely agree with what Matt has stated above. In my 40+ years of playing I have done the 1000 ball drill at least a dozen times. I also do the drill for a few hundred times, when my stroke isn’t quite right. I do the drill with two donuts. One to place the ball, the other to give me a...

Good point. People attended to be entertained and the participants needed to entertain. Earl is entertaining. I think he approached the event well. He came to entertain and interact with the crowd. He did both. His interaction deteriorated as his performance failed, which is Earl...

Glad the information helped. Hope your new shaft works out. Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

Agreed. My answer is still to go between the 6-9. That is much easier than perfectly matching spin and speed all the way down table. You also have the short rail as a brake. I will say the shot is easier,as shown in the original screen shot, than how the OP repeatedly tried it. The one ball is...

I’m sure the shot is possible but it takes very accurate speed and spin to go around the nine. I think going between the 6 and 9 gives more opportunity for success. Brushing the 9 on the inside probably still gives a shot at the 2. The only trouble is hitting the 7 in a way to scratch or jaw in...

I thought “Have Pool Cue Will Travel” was an OK collection of pool stories. I didn’t think it was a well written book with a defined storyline, but still an interesting read. I too recommend “Playing Off the Rail” along with “Pool Wars”. Both should be read, one after the other. They share the...

Pre-planned would be of more value, to me. However, you can do both. Commentary during the video, in real time, with pre-planned analysis after. The comments, in real time, would have to be short and only one of the analysts would have time to comment, but you could elaborate with the planned...

I’m a big fan of “call safe” but only in the right game at the right time. Definitely not for league or tournaments. Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

I am in agreement. However, I’ve never seen it played “call safe”. I’m not against playing “call safe” but I rarely see “call safe” in anything other than straight pool. And I rarely see straight pool being played anymore. We play it “call shot” (ball & pocket) no early 10ball and a push-out...

I think he means achieving the same cue ball action (speed and spin) with a shorter stroke. Reaching your desired cue speed, in a crescendo style, using a 5-6 inch stroke, with a 5-6 inch follow through instead of a 12-13 inch stroke, with an 8-9 inch follow through. My .02. Sent from my...

I was very surprised to get home from work and find my DVR recording billiards! It appears ELVN, DirectTV channel 623, is running the 2019 Predator World 10 Ball Championship. Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

I agree, with what has already been said. Buddy means playing shape, for the sides can get you in trouble. So play shape for the corners, when possible, to keep it simple. Use the sides when appropriate. It’s not about difficulty pocketing balls, it’s about ease of position play. Sent from my...

Rubbing it down with wax paper will give it stickier feel.

Found both of these online a few years back. The blue one is for snooker but works fine on 2.25 balls. The smaller size makes it nice to carry in your case. Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

Is there a foul rule in league? That’s what is confusing to me. Not trying to get in a debate over how to strategize games but intentional fouls, usually occur, when shot selection is very limited, as in rotation games or one pocket. Can’t imagine an 8 ball game where you get back to the...

Never mind .....::

Nothing new Professional pool players not being known, outside of the hardcore pool fans, is nothing new. Willie and Fats both made appearances on "What's my line?" and I think Willie was on "To tell the truth". Arguably the two most recognized names in pool ever and mainstream media didn't...
