So I've noticed some people getting into the idea of playing with longer cues. I know players who are playing with an extension permanently screwed onto their cue. And I've tried it, and it is nice having the extra reach there, but the balance and weight is uncomfortable for me. So I'm...

I know it depends on the table, but for the sake of argument let's say it's a 9 ft table with good cloth and easy pockets. If someone can beat the 9 ball ghost in long races, like 10+, at least most of the time... how good would you say they are compared to your league handicaps? What about on...

What do you guys think about all the different jump cues out on the market today? What materials are best? What tips? What weight jump cues have you tried, and how do they feel different? One, two or three piece? Jump-break or pure jump? Are there any particularly unique new jump cues on...

In pool and in life! :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have an idea for a phone app for pool players, looking for someone who knows how to make one.

The pro scene, The local amateur scene, Leagues, Tournaments, Equipment... I know it's a lot to ask, but lets keep the sarcasm to a minimum here. I'm genuinely interested in what you all think on this subject. Especially those of you who have been a part of the pool world for the last 50 years...

Looking for spots like this around Chicago and suburbs. I know a couple, but looking for more! Love me some casual pool and drinks while a (preferably blues) band jams out. Places that just get DJs don't count! The Mark II on Western Lee st. Sports in Des Plaines Sent from my iPhone using...

Do any of you work out regularly and practice pool? How do you balance the two? I'm trying to work out 5 days a week and shoot pool 6-7. I think the two viable options are first-thing morning workouts or before bed workouts. With pool sometime in the evening. So my concern is that a morning...

What happens if you put the cue ball in a hole and the only remaining balls are in the kitchen? Does the incoming player have to kick to play a good safe? Also while we're talking rules... when is the last time an official rule was changed and what was it?

That level of play you're striving for... What are you going to do to get there? What are you willing to sacrifice? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

To play better pool... Especially in long tournaments and sessions. Cardio is obvious... More running and swimming! Work the core for better stability... Weight lifting? What else would you say can directly improve pool performance? What are some types of exercise to avoid? How would you...

It's so rare to find a gambler these days. Sure there are the good players who will gamble at the big pool halls... but on the low-average player side, in bars and half-pool halls, nobody will gamble. Maybe 20+ years ago you'd walk into a place with 2, 3, 6 or even 15 tables and a bar and people...

My votes for Thorsten 'The Fox' Hohmann!

Anyone know a nice place? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What non-handicapped leagues are there in the area? I'm interested in any team or individual formats for any game.

Do you remember what your early "high runs" were and how they increased and approximate increments of time between them?

It's madness, I know, but stay with me here. Lets say you get a 10 ft table with some damn tight pockets and stick it right into a corner at your new place! Is there any shot you can't practice on it? Yea you can't play a regular game, but that's not why you got it in the first place, right...

A day where you are shooting worse than you know you are capable of? What do you think are the causes and how do you deal with it?

Beat this drill! FIrst one to finish it posts a drill of their own. First to finish that one gets to post the next one, and so on. The drills have to progressively increase in difficulty and not be impossible :wink: The goal is to practice and have fun guys! If this image upload worked... 9...

Kinda hard to search for it with all the other 9 ball games out there... Anyone have a link?
