Hey guys, So... pool just doesn't seem that fun to me anymore. When I'm at a table I mostly feel like I can't concentrate all that much and I end up just free-wheeling around the table for a little while. I haven't won a league match in like 7 weeks now (as a 9) mostly because I have some...

Hey y'all - I'm thinking I need a lesson to get my stroke in order. There's some minute and small difference in my stance/form that is affecting me when I'm down on a shot and I can't pinpoint what it is. There are times where I feel in my swing that I'm lined up properly and the ball is going...

Hey guys, Does anybody know how the hips affect your pool stroke? I play a lot of disc golf so I know your lower body plays a big role in finite upper body movement and I discovered (by accident) that my stroke gets a little bit sloppy in one foot position and is laser straight with another...

So guys, I've reached a point where I'm irritated with my stroke. At the moment, it's straight-ish but there's enough wiggle room that I'm not happy with it. I've looked at a ton of stuff online to try and find an answer but I'm pretty sure my shoulder is what's causing the problem. I've...

I've lost quite a bit of interest in playing pool lately as I'm very focused on school while I work full time on top of that so I don't have much time to play anymore. As a result, I'm looking to sell my OB cue (which I've literally shot with probably 6-7 times since I bought it) and I'm putting...

Can anyone explain to me how making the headball in 9-ball works? Where to break from, how to adjust if the one ball is coming up short, long, etc. I know a few players that do it regularly and I haven't been around one of those guys recently enough to ask them. Ordinarily, I use Joe...

Does anybody know if Seyberts can turn a shaft down below 12.3mm if that's what I wanted? I prefer 11.75mm on my playing cues and I'm wondering if I order a cue if they turn it down to that thickness?

So, I saw Sky play recently and his attitude both on and off the table rubbed me the wrong way. I've heard from some other pros that Sky's head has gotten too big over this past 1-2 years and I can see it. Kind of sucks because he's a great player but watching him play and noticing his...

Sup everybody, Been quite a while since I last posted here, mostly because I lost a lot of interest in playing pool simply because it's not all that fun for me, anymore. I think it's more the people that I'm around rather than the game not being fun but I've plateaued. I'm in a weird gray...

Hey fellas, Can anybody get ahold of Teacherman and ask him to check his messages. I sent him one regarding something important and I saw that he hasn't checked in to AZ in a while. If anybody could reach out to him (if they know him personally, etc.) I'd appreciate it greatly! -Richard

Hey guys, Been a while since I've been on but I was playing for well over 12 hours today while my girlfriend was in a tournament and the guy playing on the table next to me noticed something about my stroke and brought it to my attention. I've known for a while that sometime when I'm playing...

Sup gents, I was playing last night and the guy I played was giving me bad racks; whether on purpose or accident I don't know but, after the 2nd rack I started to inspect and ask for re-racks. After 5 re-racks I said forget it and moved to second ball break to try to mitigate the bad rack but...

Another thread prompted me to ask a question related to this topic; I'm a proponent of lighter break cues first and foremost unless the heavier cue is rear weighted and the cue feels weightless at my natural grip (Big Bellugah 2 is an example). Anyway, we all know that F= MA so, does anybody...

My thoughts upon seeing this; The solids all have pockets. The 2 ball passes the 8 and I can use that to get on the 1 in the top left. I don't think I'd save these 2 for last so I'm thinking play: 1) 6 in the side, roll to the rail and out. 2) Play the 3 in lower left corner and float out for...

Just curious - does anybody break with a 12mm break tip on their cue? I currently have a 13mm but I don't like it at all anymore - I shoot 100% of the time with my 11.75mm cue and the 13mm just seems really clunky and thick in my hands now when I break and I can't get used to it. So, does...

I've got a teammate who "shovels" the cue as he's stroking - you can see the cue, his entire body, and his shoulder rising and falling during his practice strokes and I can't see what causes it. The only thing I could presume is that his entire arm is locked and tense so he's moving the cue with...

Just need to get my thoughts down. Just lost an APA match that I had no business losing - my first reaction is to blame the table rolls, my opponent being a shot maker who just shot and didn't care about shape. While there were rolls and everything else, I refuse to be a victim of my ignorance...

I'll have to preface this by saying that I prefer 2 rail kicks on balls that are open on the table and not near a rail. I'm watching an APA team and everytime they kick one rail I always see the 2 rail path going into the line of the ball. It might just be me but 2 rail kicks seem easier now...

In case nobody knows, Mr. Bond had Dennis on the phone to explain his side of the story on the American Billiard Radio show.

Anybody know or have an idea of when the CSI YouTube channel will upload the US Open 9-ball matches? It's been over a month that they've uploaded the 8-ball and 10-ball divisions. I need some new matches to watch!
