    Reversed psychology or sharking?

    I was offered to play a small set with this guy that I never played before. All I knew about him that he always plays 9 ball and that is his best game. As for me, I'm not much of a 9 ball player and prefer playing 8 ball and seem to do better at it. The first set he demolished me 7-2, and I...

    Question about the stroke

    I am a relative beginner at pool, been playing for just about a few years. I noticed one thing and don't know what causes it. I usually play with a 19 oz cue and a medium tip on it. And what I noticed is that when I pick up a heavier stick with a very hard tip, especially phenolic, I can pull...

    Question about the bridge.

    I usually have the same length bridge during my stroke. Many times during playing I was faced with the situation where when I shoot and cannot put my bridge hand where I normally would, due to a ball/cluster of balls there. A lot of times , especially when I don't have to stretch, I just move my...

    How to practice without a table

    I don't have a table, so I have to improvise in order to practice. Here's a small video I made that shows you how you can practice jumping without a table. Terrazzo floor works just fine and I use a piece of table cloth, otherwise it's hard to keep balls in spot. In this video the balls are...

    Easy out to win a game of 8 ball.

    I went to shoot some 8 ball tonight with my friend Mike and also to try the video camera on my new phone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FVsfg0f988&feature=youtu.be Mike was getting cocky and thought that he would beat me easy. He left himself bad on the 8 ball and miscued while trying to bank...

    Pros who started to play pool late.

    Every time I meet a pro or read about one, all of them got one thing in common - they all started playing really young, a lot of them during single digits of their age. Does anyone know if there are any pros or champions who started playing the game late and made it to the top?? I heard that Ray...

    Banging period video.

    Like I mentioned before, I am a beginner at this game. Started playing around 4 years ago and learned pretty much by banging balls around in a bar. in 2012 I started taking pool seriously and started practicing. Here I found a "banger Period" of my game video. Now I started noticing my...

    Opponent played safe on me. What would you do and what I did

    I played a game of 8 ball with a buddy of mine a couple of days ago. We were hill-hill. In the final game I broke and ran all of my balls but one and missed. He , in his turn,ran the table on me, but couldn't make the 8. I had one ball left before the 8. In the first picture I show the position...

    Philippino pool books or tutorials.

    Are there any books written by philippino pool players on how to improve the game? With all the players from the islands showing their distinctive style one should say that someone translated one by now or they keep it a secret and only teach by word of mouth?

    skill levels. what's the relation?

    Does anyone know how the skill levels in APA co-relate to A,B,C,D players rankings? What I would like to find out for example is what kind of player an APA skill level 6 is? or what a C player would be ranked in APA and so on... Is there a table like that somewhere?

    Bridge hand fingers moving.

    I have been watching a lot of videos lately where pros play and I noticed the same thing when a lot of A players do when I watch them live. When they either shoot or prepare to shoot, they move fingers in their bridge hand. I was taught that the bridge hand must be steady, but obviously it's not...

    Real test of skills

    Just saw this picture and a mad thought popped in my head . That would be a real test of skills to play a game on a table without rails. No banks, no kicks, just regular shots, speed control means a lot if not everything. any ball that falls off the table other than in the pocket area is a foul.

    Wrap or Crap

    I would like to know am I the only one? I see a lot of different cues, cheap ones, expensive ones, custom, etc.. Some of them are very expensive... But if it has linen wrap on it, I don't care how good it hits, how expensive it is. I will NOT touch it. Wrap looks like crap, looks cheap, light...
