when i was going through the least favorite players thread i noticed mike sigel and earls popped up a lot. i get that can be a bit petulant a lot of times. however, if one listens to what he is saying that dude is pretty brilliant and hysterical. i've seen sigel talk a lot in some of the...

Generally the cue is held with the thumb of the shooting hand pointing straight down to the floor when the cue tip is close to the cueball. i tried this grip but found that it to be too inconsistent for me to grasp. So i discovered another way to grip, and that is to hold the cue like a...

I notice a few threads over the years on how to make pool popular again, especially I the states. I have a concept heavily borrowed from one of those tv channels that shows all of those cooking shows. I believe the show is called worst cooks. based on that it would be the worst pool players. I...

here is my attempt to analyze what I feel is perhaps one of the most complex strokes I've ever witnessed in pool. here goes. earl approaches the cue ball, which is dead straight away from the intended object ball, with a distance of say almost away 5 feet apart. bridge hand is placed onto the...

anybody know how earl grips the cue with his thumb and index finger? loose? tight? death grip? I know that his grip is loose with the rest of the other fingers-kind of like cradling a bird. looks like to me he has a firm grip at then end of his stroke on bottom draw and stop shots, but my eyes...

ay to all at az - first post ever after several years of reading and learning many pool related topics. took my first ever formal lesson from a guy last summer. taught me foot alignment on shot, stance, etc.. anyway he did not say in exact words that the meat has to come put during the follow...
