LOUIE - Sorry TYPO OOPS! Sorry for the "Louis" thing.

This is the one I've seen. Not high quality but still fun to see a legend shoot. http://vimeo.com/album/1726428

Snooker Form This is one of the great secrets of the game. Stop this thread and keep it to yourself. I watch snooker matches daily to absorb Hendry and Selby at their art.

The next time you want to complain about a table . . . remember this!!!

Rule Thank you Bob. Excellent response. With that rule it makes complete sense.

Watching Allison and Gerda on TV, the referee watched a hit in slow motion on a monitor and determined that the cue ball made contact with both the 2-ball and the 7-ball at the exact same time, then ruled the hit good. By definition of having to hit the corect ball FIRST, this is a BAD hit...

Remember folks, I'm a probably the APA's biggest fan and supporter. I'm working on 28 years now in the APA and love every league night and all the Vegas action. BUT . . . the US Amateur Championships is just wrong. Thousands of dollars in entry fees and first place pays . . . NOTHING. The...

What's your best "self pick me up" after a tough loss? What regroups your thoughts back into competition after losing a tough match? I try to remind myself that the process is what counts and that learning comes from losing. I rarely learn after a big win. (BUT THE PAIN OF THE LOSS! OUCH!)

Books to Read - Here is the Top Secret List After you know how to play and are ready to master yourself, here is the list I read and re-read before each tournament and as often as I can. Memorize this information and apply it to pool as best you can. These books will make you a better...

After 27 years of playing in this league I'm still going strong and can't wait for EVERY league night! I've qualified for Vegas 13 times and will continue to support this league. Ignore other people's handicaps and play your match like it's a personal World Championship every night you play...

My Version It is not for sale, nor will it ever be. It was just a project to help me practice. Also, since the rack will never react exactly like a real rack of balls it only allows you to practice body motion form, not true cue ball control.

Internal Image Here is how and where I put the springs. It doesn't expand much but just enough for a more realistic hit. Small metal pins hold in the pins and are held with epoxy.

In case you want to spend some time building a break helping tool, this is it. This took me 3 versions to get it right. The rack needed to weigh the exact same a full 9-ball rack with all the additional connections. This version has all the balls drilled out and springs inserted inside each...

I uploaded a photo for all to see but it does not show up on the "preview". Ideas? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks all.

Picture Help I do this kind of thing all the time. Can be fuzzy but often not. I take a very still close up picture of the card with my digital camera set on the "close up mode". Review the image on your laptop and print at Walgreens. I have pool pictures from old billiard cards that look cool.

Pool and Drugs During a conversation I had with a well known professional player . . . he mentioned that if there were drug testing during most high end tournaments in the late 70s and early 80s . . . there would have been a 90% failure rate. This really surprised me. Or he was just upset...

Table Type for the Event What size and mfg of table will be used? Needs to be a bar box if 8-Ball is the game.

So here's the secret: Practice each session for PERFECT form. Watch Hendry and Higgins on as many hours of snooker youtube as you an absorb each day and COPY them. Become a robotic machine of smooth precision. DO NOT play to win, play to become a machine. Strategy, sequences and game plans...

Although a break is often controlled, there is still a random factor that keeps you shooting or hooked after the break. I see this as an important strategy early in a 9-ball game as well. Let's say you have a very poor safety option and a poor chance at making the ball. Is the best choice...

Anyone going from the AZ group? I'll be playing in the 7s 8-Ball tournament. Marty K. O'Fallon, IL
