    Snooker play VS American style.

    Along the same lines here.....how about taking a new pool player and trying to decide what style to teach them... 1. Go watch Efren play and just do what he does? 2. Go watch "insert Pro snooker player here" and learn that style. I would pick Ronnie O! Personally I did both, first the "Efren"...

    Exactly how good are these professional players?

    I played this poster "Eagleshot" some one pocket last week and I couldn't win a game......He might be a Pro? All I know is I need weight. We can just trust Jimmy to make a fair game! :) G.

    Variations of HIT and FEEL - Predator Shaft

    Aloha to you! I hear what you are asking, and from my experience....if you do nothing to a predator shaft but screw it onto another cue....it will play very much the same. I have re-tapered "tech" shafts to try to get a differing hit.....mostly it would alter the hit very little. Try changing...

    Team Str8-shots signs the Irish Invader.

    Karen is a super player, and the last time we bumped heads at a tourney was at cue corner in Downingtown Pa. It was a 14.1 event and she ran balls like a champ! I just wish I would have had the chance to watch her run racks back in England on the snooker tour. Seems to me once you have the...

    I want to try a different low deflection shaft. Please chime in

    Sometimes a change of equipment can take your attention off "whats wrong", and get you trying out the new toy......which at times has helped me find issues. I don't think the cue or shaft is the issue, but I guess my point is when you change what you are paying attention to, you find what...

    Best ring game scores?

    The very best ring game I played in was on a 6'x12' snooker table, 9ball, using standard pool balls! it was awesome....you were never out of it. Great players were missing balls 4" from the pocket. We played $5 on the 5 and $10 on the 9, and I made a little, but the best part was I hung in there...

    Earl Is In The Final At Turning Stone ! ! ! !

    CJ I sure hope so! I got serious about the game in the early 90's and we always had a table at home, but stepping into a pool room for the first time was an epiphany for me! I never wanted to leave. I don't know how to convey that feeling to the general public? I was in 3 different rooms...

    In every single straight pool tournament, you will hear this about the guy who wins.

    you know guys , I was just re-reading this thread and it made me recall a day at the pool room when I was cleaning the tables. Andy, the best 14.1 player in the room was practicing and bored. He asked me why I didn't play more 14.1, and I said I can't get the hang of "patterns" or how to shoot...
