I have a question for those of you who have their own table at home and also compete in many tournaments. Is your table the same brand and/or configured the same as the tables you compete on? If you do, is it because it just happens that it's your table of choice or because your want to...

I've never watched or even paid attention to one pocket but I'd like to broaden my horizon. What's the holy grail of one-pocket match available on youtube that you'd recommend someone to watch to "get" the game and appreciate it? Thanks

Hi guys, I just bought an old table from a friend and just had new Simonis 860HR installed on both the table bed and the cushions. I had played quite often on that table back when it had older cloth and I remember it being a bit faster than it is now. Obviously the spin doesn't grab much off...

Can someone tell me how an HOW Soft cue tip would compare on a hardness scale against a Zan Soft, Elk Master or a Kamui black super soft approxmatively? Thanks

I have always wondered if you guys find any advantages to using the "Filipino" closed bridge versus the standard loop closed bridge. - Filipino bridge being having the index finger in a triangle shape ON the middle finger - Standard closed bridge being having the index finger round and meeting...

I'd like to hear your experience (s) if you ever bought a cue from jjcue.com Being in canada, if I wanted to buy something they would only take a wire transfer or money orders which worries me a little bit so I need reassurance or to be told to stay away! :grin-square:

Hi there, I hope you're all having a great day. I have 2 questions for you. 1. Do mezz butts feel hollow or full? 2. Gun to you head, you can only play a Mezz with a United or Wavy joint, which one is it? Thanks

Hi there. I'm looking for a great quality cue with the satifying hit of a Schon and with the deflection of a predator. Preferably one piece maple shaft. 12.5mm Which brands make cues like that? Thanks

Good morning, Tomorrow I have a Scotch Doubles tournament paired with a weaker player. I have played a few of those but I'm usually the weaker player paired with a pro or a shortstop. Now, personally I relish the experience of playing with a stronger player and I'm smart enough to know that I...

I'm practicing with this pro once a week and I'm picking things up slowly but surely to improve my game and I started to notice a lot of things about his game and its the massive use of drag. We all use it when the situation requires it but I noticed that its how he's able to spin the ball...

Could you possibly give me a time frame as to when pool was as its prime as far as recognition goes and plethora of tournaments? When did it start to go downhill and what caused it?

Anybody else? I'll always put a hair of outside (or inside if Im trying to do something for position) on a shot the could be played with dead center beside straight in shots. If I wanna stop it, I'll play lower but not as hard. I feel when hitting center ball it undercuts the shot because of...

Is there a common calculation to determine what is gonna be the payouts for a tournament (double elimination) that pays 7/8th. Anybody knows the percentages for each positions?

I want to buy joint protectors for a radial pin. Preferable for 1 butt and 2 shafts. Not too expensive also 30$ max with shipping to Canada. Pics are preferable in advance.

Hey Im about 6'3" and I realize that I don't use the same stance on every occasion I play. Im trying to go back to the basics and improve my fundamentals and was wondering how some of you tall players approach the stance. Do you always try to keep the back leg straight or do you bend it ? I...

If you get a dry break, do you still take ball in hand and attempt to run out or is it the ghost's turn? Because if its ball in hand with balls down on the break or none...I have beaten the ghost 9-6 even. I don't think I'm gonna be able to do that again for a while. On the other hand, if I...

I first started to play with Triangle and eventhough they are "hard" tips to begin with, I've always ask the tech guy to install a softer one. Now its impossible to find good ones, they all feel like its ceramic. Then I moved on to Le Pro tips and I've had a few good ones but now its starting...

Let me explain, I'm somewhat close to move up a class in our ranking system here and I want to get that extra finesse in my game, that extra little thing that I can't get by just playing and practicing. Many people suggest a coach to help me open up my mind to overlooked things or discover new...

Hi there, We all have heard the saying "Play the table, not the player" I manage to keep that mindset with everyone I play but ONE guy. He's pro speed and definitely has the skills and talent to compete against the world's best. When I play him, I lose my stroke, my aim, my fundamentals and my...

Dreams were and still are always considered a strange phenomenon and many scientifics have studied the dreams we have while in R.E.M. sleep and their significations. I'm sure most of us have dreamed about playing pool at one point or another. Have you ever had a pool dream that seemed so real...
