I haven't posted on here for about a year. Unfortunately my pool playing time in the past year has diminished greatly. I came home from Iraq in January of 2010 and rented a large house and bought a very nice 8 foot pool table. It was a dream come true for about six months. Unfortunately, even...

My girlfriend does play pool with me sometimes, and is a lot better than she was when I met her, but I think she has secretly became a pool addict behind my back. When I was using her computer the other day I noticed that she's been watching OTR tv, and has been on this site. This is so...

I have been teaching my girlfriend to play pool and she has really enjoyed it. It has been a couple months now and she has gotten a lot better. She went from not being able to hold a cue hardly at all, to now actually being able to make a few balls in arow sometimes, which doesn't seem like a...

I got my table last week, and today I just got myself a camera and tripod. Now I can finally videotape my runs and what not. I am never going to get any schoolwork done anymore.

I just got a table in my house, and wanted to start playing 14.1. Any suggestions on getting started practicing for a beginner.

Well I finally moved into my own place and immediately got a pool table. It's a pinnacle 8' I wanted a 9 foot, but the room I wanted to put it in needs some work done to it, and a 9' would be a little tight in here, there's just enough room to have no obstructions with the 8', the angle of...

Well I've been home for a few weeks now, and of course I have been playing a lot of pool. Unfortunately though I'm having a lot of trouble keeping my nerves under control in games that matter. I've played in two tournaments, and both times I squeaked through my first match (it wasn't pretty...

After a long flight and a week at Ft McCoy I finally arrived home yesterday. It feels really good, it's been a long year. Of course the first thing I did was screw together my new Doug Patrick custom and start hitting balls. It was definitely a great investment. It's a work of art and hits...

Just a few days left here and I'll be on my way home for the last time :). Even though I'm getting out of the Army I still support my comrades 100%. I have gone to a few concerts over here and met a few celebrities, so I was always thinking it would be cool to get someone over here to do a...

I posted these pics in the cue gallery, but I figured I'd put this on the main forum too. At the beginning of my deployment I decided that I was going to treat myself to a brand new pool cue. Originally I looked at production cues, but then I decided to get something special made. I decided...

Doug just recently finished my new cue. Unfortunately I won't be home fo a few weeks yet, but it will be waiting for me when I get home :). I'll probably have to go straight to the table and run a rack or two ;).

Hello everyone. I've been a member here for awhile, and I've made a few posts, but I never really introduced myself. I'm from Wisconsin, but I'm currently deployed to Iraq. It's my third time here. I get to come home in less than a month now, which is awesome, and then I will be out of the...

I have a lot of things that I do left handed and a lot of things I do right handed. I throw left and bat left. I throw a ball with my left hand yet I fling a frisbee with my right. I play guitar and shoot bows and guns right handed. I also shoot pool right handed. I always had trouble...

Hi there everyone. I've been visiting this forum and reading posts for like the past year and a half, but this is my first post here. I'm an Army National Guard soldier deployed to Iraq. I was hoping that maybe I could come home to a new pool cue when I get home next year. I was looking at...
