I don't know much about tables (or anything else for that matter) but I was just wondering if any of you technical people out there have ever considered putting automatic ball counters on tables that would pick up either the sound of the ball dropping or the pressure on the bottom of the pocket...

What do you do when you are having an off night and you have to play a match? Every now and again I have a night where I cannot do anything right. I miss ball in hand, scratch, hook myself, get way out of line etc. Do you just write it off as a bad night or do you go to the bathroom and wash...

It occurred to me this morning while drinking coffee and meditating on my pool game that there are four ingredients in pool and I think I may have the order of importance correct: Fundamentals Focus Feel Fun Does this sound plausible or was I in an early morning fog? It...

While watching a One Pocket DVD one of the narrators referred to a player's stroke as a "bunt". Is that different from a poke? If so, in what way?

I really like the SPF method and am trying very hard to adapt my it to my PSR. I find myself doing it properly when I am thinking about it but then slide into my old form without realizing it. How do I make this and ingrained habit? Thanks for any input, Nell:rolleyes:

I have an old Gandy Big G with pockets that will accept a small bowling ball. I would like to tighten these pockets a lot. I have been told that it is possible to stretch the rubber rails and make them longer. Then I can reattach the rails and recover them. Will that work? Can a dumb blonde...

Old Gandy Big G, new Simonis 860 green cloth in East Central Alabama Make offer. Serious inquiries only.

I would rather play a game with a practice partner than work on drills which bore me cross-eyed after 10 or 15 minutes. Is actually playing a game a good way to practice? An instructor friend tells me I will never get better unless I do drills. I mostly play 14.1 and One Pocket for practice.

Is it possible to add a forum dedicated to One Pocket? I believe that it is really gaining in popularity especially in my area. (I don't see ESPN jumping on it because of its slow pace...lol.) I am really getting into the game and want to learn as much as I can. The forums offer a lot of...

Is it possible to have a forum dedicated to One Pocket? I believe the game is really gaining in popularity especially in my area. However, I don't see it becoming a vewier sport because of its slow pace. (ESPN will never be interested...lol) I am really beginning to like it and would like to...

There are so many hunks in pool nowadays, who do you think is the hottest? My picks are Rodney Morris and Niels Feijen.:wink:

I hear many instructors talk about the importance of warm up strokes but I have heard at least two very knowledge instructors refer to this process as "fiddling" which seems to minimize the importance. The stroking seems to take me out of my game and I lose the focus. I would rather just take...

I received a phone call last night from a pool buddy who saw the signs I put up in the pool hall. He said another buddy found it laying on the table where I was shooting (obviously out of sight under the rail or I would have noticed it when putting away my equipment). He put it in his case for...

I know it is not unusual to "lose" a pool cue at your local room. I left without replacing my cue in the case Sunday and did not realize it until I returned to shoot on Tuesday and discovered it missing. Of course, it was not turned in to the bar/office. If anyone has any suggestions about...

I have an old Gandy Big G. It has Simonis 860 cloth and plays really well. The pockets, however, are buckets and VERY forgiving. I would like to make the pockets smaller. Can this be done with new rails and changing the angle of the pocket cut? I really don't want those spring-loaded shims...

I don't know what else to call it. My arm is in the correct 90 degree angle with the forearm and elbow aligned with the cue/shot. I seem to miss shots because this does not remain steady and in line with the shot on my final stroke. I also tend to "chicken wing" on speed shots such as one...

I sometimes have problems after playing on a 9' table for about four hours then going to the 7' for APA league match. I can be shooting really well (for me) on the 9'. Then when I get on the 7' I can't seem to do well at all. This doesn't always happen but enough to concern me. Can anyone...
