    What do you call a lucky shot?

    lol.. funny names.. we have one that is native to my particular pool hall. A really good player who's second language is English was playing a game. his opponent made a lucky shot. instead of saying "lucky" i guess his tounge got a bit tied, he said "LOBSTER" needless to say everyone...

    Heated tables & slide help

    the problem is... if I have a 3 rail natural on a heated table.. and I hit the first rail at the same place where I would on a unheated table..the shot goes long. Even when I make an adjustment to make it go shorter, it still doesnt go where it should. (ex.. I need a fuller hit to make it go...

    Milk dud on carom cue?

    Its a coincidence that you post this. 2 tips ago I ran out of sniper tips. I needed a tip badly so I installed a ElkMaster tip on my carom cue. (I own a lathe) I decided to install it the way sniper suggest to install their tips. they say "wet the sides of the tip as you are turning down." I...

    Apologize for making a lucky shot. (a slight hand gesture is enough) If you are unsure whether you made a point... you didnt make the shot.

    Yes.. I did. there is more than one way to skin a cat. Im looking for more info. on the subject.. maybe alternates. I'm curious as to what others are doing to their tables. On that thread that I created.. Bob Jewit said that he wouldnt spray silicone on the table. why not?

    Silicone spray on table and balls

    I saw an article on the internet on using silicone spray on a billiard table and billiard balls. Anyone know where I can find this? or give me some information on how its done? maybe some info on what others do to make a unheated worn cloth table play more like a heated one. TIA

    Carom Billiards Cue builders

    Ive been playing 3 cushion with a predator Z shaft. and I absolutly love it. sounds like what you are looking for. its got a semi conical taper. but yet its very thin. surprisingly stiff for such a thin shaft. :)

    I just learned another system!

    It will not ruin your stroke. 3 cushion is about pinpoint accuracy when striking the cueball. that can do nothing but improve your stroke. The key is not getting lazy with your cuing. I stopped playing pool for about 1 1/2 years stricly playing 3 cushion. first time I played pool in a year and...

    How can someone love the game so much, and still suck so bad.

    Avoiding kisses in Three Cushion

    Good question. but to be honest.. I dont know. I use the upwards and straight follow when playing 3 cushion. because it works well with the systems that I use. I have tried the downward follow stroke for 3 cushion but the reaction is so different that it doesnt go well with my systems. The...
