I just posted about a page and a half and it didn't go through. So rather than doing it all for nothing again I just want to see if this new thread goes through then I will post.:rolleyes:

Hi guys. I am new to snooker and my high run is 49 to date. I have a question about balls being close to the rail and a couple feet or more away from the pocket. Should I set them up for a cross side bank or try to get the cue ball as close as possible and run it down the rail at slow speed? I...

I have recently been looking around on the AZBilliards Home page(not the forum home page) to check out the articles and columns. Some good stuff I always just passed up to go directly to the forums. BUT when I read what I'm about to post from Tom Simpson in the columns section I didn't know...

Anyone heard or tried these things....Focus Factor, Mind Matrix, etc, etc?They are supposed to increase your focus, memory, brain power, confidence and stuff like that while also helping with anxiety and nerves. I saw an ad on the Science Channel and I'm thinking about getting them. I figure if...

OK lets here it. Our very own Jay Helfert. I would just like to say that out of every one here this has got to be the BEST THREAD EVER! Lead it off Jay. If no one mindes lets start it off at an early age. Before 15 if its possible. Hey guys I have heard and read ALOT of stories and now its time...

Mentally should you look at this game as easy or hard when under pressure for the money? Heres what I mean. How much confidence should you have mentally? Heres the problem. Too much confidence puts me into a position to question myself once I start studying. If its so easy why am I standing...

The 'Geonosis Arena' is a forum for posters that get into it on the 'Main' forum. Once a comment is made that is uncalled for by Mr. Wilsons standerds he can order the said poster to take it to the 'Arena.' There the said poster can post what ever he likes because the 'Geonosis Arena' has no...

I'm feeling poll happy. Sue me.:) If you put together more than 15 please tell exactly how many.

Just thought it would be fun to see how people vote on this one.

Over a period of time the voices begin to fade. You begin to smell the chalk. Your hands suddenly feel smooth. You see the lines in your mind like a picture painted perfect. You can't remember the last time you thought. In fact your not thinking at all. You see the scratches on the cueball and...

I'm talking about super thinning it to play safe. I aim about 1 full tip to the right or left of the object ball which would result in a little less than half ball hit IF I kept that alignment.(sp?) As I take my final stroke I vear left or right just a smidgen while focusing on the outer edge of...

Its been a few years since I went to the Derby. The last time I went they were running nightly mini tournaments upstairs on Diamond bar boxes. I heard someone say they haven't been bringing any bar boxes to the Derby anymore. Did I hear wrong?

I go back and forth. I have been playing my whole life. I have never passed 'A' speed but came close a few times. I can honestly say I love this game but during my life I have been side tracked more than once. I honestly believe that if I gave everything I had I could become the best player in...

I'm pretty sure I have already done this thread once before but what the hell...there might be some other funny stories out there that haven't surfaced yet. I'll repeat my MOST embarrising pool story to kick it off once again. I was about 18 and me and my friend picked up 2 good looking...

I'm looking to start up a pool hall sometime in the future. I'm looking for a good deal on 6-8 4 1/2 x 9's. I'll take a look at any make and model but prefer Gold Crown or Diamond. Thanks. Josh

I've been playing pool for more than 20 years and once I catch a gear I can approach A speed. My eyes have always been terrible and I don't wear glasses when I play. My left eye is 20/30 and my right is 30/100. I know alot of top pros play by feel and just align untill they "feel" its going in...

The title says it all. Any info would be appreciated. Josh

I'm talking about the guys that eat, breath, and sleep pool 24/7 and have done it for years. They could be pros or they could be guys that never made it or are still struggling because they just don't have the natural talant. BUT they have the heart of Rocky Balboa. I have heard stories of...

Its been 2 years since I went to the Derby so I don't know how its situated now but the last time I went they had bar boxes up stairs. They had mini tournaments and things but alot of the time it was open tables. I heard last year or the year before there was hardly any open tables and they had...
