I have seen the wannabe players practicing with so many routines and so many positions on the table. I fear their progress will be slow. IMHO, we must use our practice time wisely and purposefully. The best practice for an average player is simply to pot a straight half table ball to the...

Parallel English is a technique of moving the cue stick parallel to the aim line (aimed at the new offset point), to introduce sidespin. This I know. Different cues will have different squirt. My question is, is the squirt the same if you hit half a tip off-centre and two tip off-centre. I...

In many instances, you have to aim off to compensate for sidespin. In my scenario, you need to cut a half ball on the right hand side of the object ball for the object ball to go into the left hand corner pocket. Due to sidespin, you need to compensate by aiming to cut the ball thinner, let...

I was watching a kdrama called Criminal Minds ep 7. The main actors and actresses were playing pool in a bar. The pool table was super cool with lightings below to illuminate the table. After googling, I found that there are actual glass pool table and the playing surface is almost the same...

Won't it be fun to watch two top pro playing a game where the cues are changed in the course of the game. Let say it is a race to 21. The first 5 games, the players use their own cues. They are then given a new cue with unknown deflection to them to use. Thereafter, every 5 frames played...

Has there been any test done on this? Example: A lighter cb striking a heavier ob that is twice its weight at half ball aim, what happens to both balls? Same as two balls of same weight except cb travels further and ob less (since it is heavier) ??

In so many threads, there are so many players who wonder why they are not making the pocket or whether their alignment is off or whether their aiming system is unsuitable for them, or problems with their cueing action, or their basic stance, etc etc. I believe in any sports that requires...

Dear members of AZbilliards, I have decided to give away my Precision Potting Manual free to all members here. This method is useful for players using the normal shaft and not so for those using LD shaft. Is it useful? It teaches you how to aim when playing english and it will definitely...

This thread is meant for long time players to give tips to the newer players. How one changes something in one's game and instantly become a much improve player is something that will be useful to other players (season or not). I hope more players will contribute. Let me start the ball...

Some of the issues that bugs me when watching pool games are: 1. Whenever I watch the Filipino players play in their pool halls, they will be surrounded by bystanders. Once a while, one of the "bystander" will come up and mark something on the table below the cue ball and the object ball in...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8c3x8qSwnY&t=942s At 4:12 Is it because the cue ball contact the object ball twice or is it because it is a scoop shot? On another note: Is a scoop shot a foul shot? If it is, shouldn't it be ball in hand?

In most aiming system (if not all), the aiming essentially is where the ghostball lies. In this new aiming system, there are essentially two points to aim at. Point one: Centre ball to centre ball. Point two: Aim for complete miss (or near super thin cut). Especially for Point one, it is...

Has anyone seen a game where one of the player exceeded the extension time or just cue right after the end of the extension time? What happen in such a scenario?

Precision Potting is a new method created by me. It helps you in your potting with/without sidespin. This method is especially useful for amateurs who want to seek improvement in their potting skills. That said, potting isn't everything. You still need other skills to win your games...

https://youtu.be/QBaAclAjH8M 8m 10s Do you guys have other videos? Question is, why some pros miss easy shot albeit rarely? I know they are human and so the nerves could be getting to them, but what other possible reason/s could be there for missing such easy shots?? Standing, cueing or...
