    Earl/Archer IPT 07 Match

    Controlled Break Problems

    I have been working on my break heavily lately. My nine break, IMO is pretty dang good;). The problem is with my 8ball break. First, I line up just a ball off the center diamond and out just far enough for me to be comfortable. I am a short of the headstring. I'd don't have a break ap, but...

    Brunswick Bi-centenial balls

    So a player on my team brought a set of these to show me Tuesday. I guess a customer came in and gave them to him knowing he was into pool. I initially thought they were just an old cheap set of balls as I'm no expert and didn't recognize Hyatt. I didn't think much of it but I realized after...

    Developing Pool Gear/Tools

    I'm starting this thread in search of help from all of you entrepreneurs that have created pool gear and related tools for the billiards industry. Recently, a friend came up with an idea that we think “has a shot”. I’m not at liberty to discuss his idea, as he asked me not to. We are both...

    Balance Point Opinion

    I'm just curious what you like in a cue as far as balance point? Sure, this is strictly opinion but just curious what everyone likes best. For me, my cue is right at 18.75" balance point and I like the way that feels. Lets hear it!

    Pre Match Routine

    Here is my problem: Many times when I'm out shooting, whether its in a match or just playing someone for fun, it takes me 2-3 games to get what I feel like is in stroke. And if I have a long layover in a tournament or even between matches on a league night, I'm often right back to feeling...

    Poison Jump Review

    Lately, I have been testing out different jump cues. Last week I was at Seyberts and got to hit for the first time with the new Poison jump cues. My review will be in many ways a comparison to the preditor air since it is no longer being made and I have spent adequate time using one. My pro's...

    Playing to the level of competition?

    I know this has probably been covered. But this is by biggest and most frustrating downfall. Maybe it can be contributed to lack of consistency. I play with high skill level players on Friday and Saturday and I play very competitively... sure, they may take a few more games than I get but I...

    Getting there...with questions

    Ok, Im a 14.1 rookie. I've been playing for about 2.5 years, or at least thats when I really got into pool. For the first year I played exclusively 8 and 9 ball and ventured into 1pocket. About six months ago I was introduced to 14.1 and tried it out. I must say my initial results were...

    Storage Safe Question

    Currently, I have a small but growing collection of cues. While I do have a gun safe, I store it in my garage. Of course in Indiana temperatures vary from season to season. I am wanting to purchase another safe for my cues. Do most of you AZ members keep them in a safe? Is a safe, inside a...

    Custom Players Under 1300

    Hello everyone... I am pretty new to the custom cue game and looking for some advice. I am also fairly new, about 3 years, to playing pool seriously.

    Track Lighting

    Does anyone use track lighting in their home pool rooms instead of a conventional pool table light? I would like to go this route for a couple reasons.... 1) I am fortunate enough my wife is very cool about letting me have a table in the house and she also enjoys it. But being in our house we...

    Extreme Draw

    Ok , Ill try to make my questions as clear as I can: I see good players, or for that matter pros, use extreme draw where the cue ball actually arches. I have trouble doing this. I can do a full table draw straight back, or if im using bottom left or right I draw it that respective direction...

    Re-Grouping?

    Ok, do you ever get frustrated enough you take a week or two off of pool? I'm to that point right now, where I feel like mentally I need a break. I know I'm not going to physically improve my game by doing this, but if I am mentally fresh I feel my practice time will be better and ready to start...

    Shane's Last Match

    Ok, I have see a bunch of Hatch threads, and rightfully so, I love the guy after this event and becoming MVP... But I just wanted to point out how HUGE I thought Shanes match was. Obviously a win here brought us the cup, but if Shane drops that match, I would have had a sick feeling in my...
