I hate to burst your bubble there, Ewok, but using your normal cue on a thin cloth (i.e. Simonis) is not a walk in the park. If your pool tables are the thick pilled (the little ball of lent that you see under the cushions), nappy kind, then those are very easy to jump shots with. But try...

Take a hint, pal: This is the APA. Jumping is possible with a full cue, but highly improbable. They WANT you to kick shots so that they don't get the impression that you should use the "cheat stick" and play old fashion. That's why I am very imbetween in this APA system. I used to be in it, but...

The first clip is Frederic Caudron; top great 3-cushion, Balkline, and Straight Rail carom player. The 2nd one is hard to say. I would love to say that it is Yoshikazu Kimura, but I digress.

Haha, Eric YOWZA! One of three of my fav masse' players - alongside Jamison Neu and Mike Massey. :bow-down:

Stick with school.... period. Pool will always be there forever, but it would be to the best of suggestions to finish off with your schooling first. Then while you maintain your degree, find a suitable job, and a nice house, then aim to start playing again. I acutally had a similar post here...

Mother Drillz..... MOTHER DRILLZ?? You wanna know what MY mother drillz are called? Two games: Straight Pool and Rotation; THAT'S my mother drillz! FARGO is my rating ability (thank you Mike Paige [I hope I didn't get that last name wrong :o:sorry:])

I could possibly give it a good drive there if I reside in San Antonio - of course if you can give me the good-to-go and if your schedule, drsnooker, doesn't conflict too much. But nevertheless, I am enthused into playing snooker at Corpus Christi, enjoying pool, and -much less- any form of...

WOW! Thank you tons for this one, rethunk. Believe it or not, Kingsville is close enough to where I live at. Alright guys, just to let you know, I currently reside in Mission, Texas. For those that do not know where that is, that is aprox 10-15 miles north of the Mexican territory... yea...

Thank you Wity and all of you into helping me with advice on cues. I am over at the Parris Cues webpage and I think I found my perfect fit: Parris Classic. It looks plain, it looks stable, it looks like the standard. If any of you snooker enthusiasts have any more advice to insert into my head...

I just want to post (pay) my respect to Edwin "Bandido" Reyes. There was one thread that was being post about Filipino "pool" tables and I was extremely fascinated by how this "thing" even works. I had so much interest in it, that I had to speak to so many Pinoys to find the dimensions to how...

Great points you got there, Wity. I am not looking for anything fancy (except if it is perhaps a hand-made splice ebony on the butt section perhaps); but even so, I would just need a cue that I know will have a great feel and security in my snooker game when the time comes. As of right now, I am...

I hear that John Parris are pretty much the Schon of snooker cues, very great in play and pricey. What is your criticism on Peradon cues? Are those any decent (even though I will still look on JP snooker cues)? I play on an 18oz cue that I still own (my Viking cue), but I am basically looking...

Lee and Cameron Thank you so much for your replies! Well, I would love to be assisted by your coaching, Lee, but I live on the southern most part of the US (deep south Texas... which wreaks :(). So its quite lengthy. As I already was about to ask on my other question on what cue companies were...

I am going to start getting involved in the snooker scene (even though it is aprox. 150miles from where I am at) and I am looking foward into buying a snooker cue. But, I see that there is such a variety. For instance, American snooker cues have a centered joint while the UK style snooker cues...

Replying about the above post.... I have seen this movie before. It's quite awkward and close to predictable. Nice picture, though.

Averages?? In my town?? People that play in my region don't even know what the heck an average is nor do they even keep count (except for money :shakehead: ). As far as my averages that are even mentioned above, I wouldn't even say because I neglected to even care for it and just play for it. I...

That's because your pool playing friend has already got accustomed to pool and how pool is played. Moreso, if he's an adult, you will find it more hard to teach him a game to, say, a young pupal. Like the saying goes: "You can't teach an old dog, new tricks." Not that it is entirely difficult to...

LOL, very good one! Alright, I'll tell you shoot-from-the-hip: It is "OK" to start playing three-cushion right from the get-go and just learn your way from there. But another option that can also give you a better advance is to work through the path of carom games. Start off by getting a good...

I would like to imput something here..... I've tried the Hopkins Q-skill system and I really don't find it too appealing. But when I tried Mike Page's Fargo System, it seem to make some decent sense from the latter skill system. Here's the link, enjoy watching and improving!

Carroms (w/ two "r"s in the middle): For more info on this, go to http://www.uscarrom.org/. Very rock and roll indeed!
