Best party game for non players Hi, I do a lot of corporate events/parties and this is the game I play. It is called one ball. Spot the one ball or any ball for that matter in the middle of the end rail. Breaker shoots from the kitchen. If they make the ball, they win. Next player up...

Gold Crown III TDF My table is a 9' Gold Crown III from a pool room. TDF = .936 TSF = 1.00 PSF = 5 1/8 0.90 PAF = 5 1/8 - 4 1/4 =7/8 1.04 PLF = 1 1/2 1.00 TDF = 1.00 x 0.90 x 1.04 x 1.00 = .936 Compared to the...

Glasses to Contacts I switched from Pool Glasses (heavy coke bottles) to contacts (optimized for 3 to 12 feet) and I'm really glad I did! For about a month I was seeing everything a half ball to the left, but I see the shots better, get down easier and don't have this weight hanging on my...

Jacoby Hybrid I use one and really like how it plays. Nice sound, sweet hit! Highly recommended!

Old Pool Pictures Great Pictures! Thank you Bob.:smile:

Puzzle 4327658 A slight draw from the 4 gets you on the 3. Stop 3 and get straight on 2. Stop on 2 gives a slight angle on 1 up table. Taking the 1 off gives a little angle on the 7. Two rails off seven to get close to the 6. Roll 6 in side and you fall on the 5 for the corner. Stop and you...

Dead Shot I like going straight into the 3. The 6 goes off the 12 and the 4 looks dead in the side pocket. It looks like the path will be clear for the 4.

Drills for Kids I have 3 students between the ages of 6 and 8 right now. Here is a sample of the things we work on. Along the end rail we roll in the object ball and try to have the cue ball follow it in. If they are successful, I move the balls back a ways like a progressive drill and do...

Rattling The Object Ball Shoot softer!!

Corporate Outings I do these events all the time at Slate. Here is a synopsis of my experience running these events. The tournament starts 30 minutes after the start of the party. This gives people a chance to get a drink, grab a snack, call the baby sitter. I do the beginner lesson 15...

Tips For Beginners To make sure you get off to a good start, take instruction! You can't efficiently learn how to play pool by yourself. It really is that simple. You will develop all sorts of bad habits trying to pocket balls that will take years to unlearn. The PBIA and the ACS have...

Congratulations John Thank you for a great effort. Congratulations on a job well done.

Instructors I think you are all arguing over apples and oranges? Humans learn skills in a very predictable way. First you need some sort of "instruction". Now that can come from a book, or an instructor, or from the short end of a cheap set. But humans need to see something they don't know...

Placing the CB with Ball-in-hand I think the overarching principle is to do what ever is easiest. In most cases that is just rolling the ball, which is what everyone is saying. Where I see this come up is when the object ball is near a pocket, and a lot of players play the object ball to the...
