    Fractional Aiming/Cue Ball

    I’ve been playing pool since 1961. There were no ‘aiming techniques’. I started reading about them online on the Billiard Digest site. Hal was one of the contributors and explained fractional aiming breaking down the object ball into fractions (1/2, 1/4 and 3/4). But instead of breaking down the...

    Glove

    Any recommendations on a pool glove? I was watching Filler and it appeared that his glove was padded. Maybe just appeared to be padded on top.

    Must wash hands…signage…

    the sign below is seen in every public restroom…I would Ike to add “and pool players” after the word “employees” where this sign appears in pool rooms. In other words after you‘ve taken a piss and/or wiped your ass, wash your hands before returning to the table. I witness a lot that don’t.

    I Stopped With All the Nonsene

    I just realized today that attempting to make shots using every system at one time or another is ludicrous. I just went back and played extinctivly. See th object ball. See the pocket subconsciously aim and shoot. All of that so called systems are too mechani. They do give you room to improvise...

    One pice v two piece cues

    For what ever reason I find playing with a one pice cue gives me a more solid hit on the cue ball and I own several two piece hand made cues. I can pull a house cue off the wall and with the right tip it feels more balanced and comfortable in my hand. Is it just me. Has the custom cue business...

    Using More Centerball

    I’m realizing after 60 years of playing this game that I can accomplish a lot using centerball with regards to shot making and position. Has anyone determined how much centerball you use in a match?

    Bridge Hand Aiming

    Tried them all At least once or twice. What no one discusses is how important the position of the bridge hand for aiming. The position of the bridge hand really sets up the shot. Think of it as if you were looking down the barrel of a rifle and your hand is the ‘sight‘ that your using to take...

    Contact Point and Visual Distortion

    Observation. I’ve never settled on a system to aim other than the mirror image for bank shots. The other day I decided to look at the object ball and mentally draw a line around the circumference of the ball lined up to the pocket. Instead of using the line as my target I aimed the cue ball a...
