IMHO...smaller pockets are fine up to a point. However, 3.9 is ridiculous because it takes a decent chunk out of the artistry out of the game. When pockets can't be cheated more than a miniscule amount, and the player has to be much more careful to make each shot, their usage of crowd pleasing...

Being willing to ask for help and risking failure by stretching outside of one's comfort zones are essential in making one's journey to success as predictable and efficient as possible. The wisest among us understand problems, mistakes, and failures are great teachers. Experts in any discipline...

Because I don't like switching from cue to cue based upon how well I might be playing, and I prefer to stay with one cue for at least 2-3 years, I've played for extended periods of time with Joss, McDermott, Schon, Viking, Mezz, and Predator. I think all of those cues have played well. However...

Iron sharpeneth iron. I appreciate your thoughts, sir. If you do read it, please share more of your thoughts...favorable or not!

Life can certainly be a team sport, as golf and pool can be. Again, I am just referring to the extent to which golf, pool, and life are more similar than the others. I'm not trying to change your mind, just giving my perspective.

"you can take any game and apply it to life; football, soccer, tennis, golf, whatever. nice advertisement though" I don't disagree with that but IMHO, those others don't have the depth of comparisons near as much as golf, pool, and life. A couple of the reasons are...the golfer's and pool...

I would like to share excerpts from GOLF…THE GREAT REVEALER! In it, you’ll read about the greatest game ever created and many of the metaphors between golf and life. These same metaphors are applicable to pool and life. Anywhere in these quotes that the word "golf" is mentioned, the word "pool"...

Great stuff!

This match is a tremendous study into the inner game of pool from two perspectives; Kaci...and then Shane! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePVNn2NGMa0

You are perceptive to notice what you noticed about yourself...assuming what you said is true. I've trained and certified over 1,000 teachers through the years, and I can tell you that the minority of those teachers naturally understood about themselves, what you said about yourself. I try to...

LOL...I see your point! My original intention was to keep it short, but I guess it did turn out pretty lengthy. I guess I should have worded it differently...but to put things in context, IMHO, it would take a book to cover the entire process of things that are involved in the complexities of...

IMHO, there have been quite a few good posts regarding the question asked at the beginning of this thread. I would like to just give a very brief opinion from my perspective, as a golf pro who gave his first lesson 44 years ago, and have worked with beginners through touring pros. At the...

Mezz Cues are made in Japan, not China!

I almost bought the cue you are thinking about buying but I ended up buying the; EC7-W6 last month. Absolutely gorgeous cue, imho. The Wenge wood is gorgeous. It hits as good as any cue I've ever hit with. One issue is that the linen wrap is too slick, but it is getting better. I've only played...

Thank you, sir...that was helpful. You know, the funny thing about it is that my cue is also a MEZZ. I guess the slick wrap is just inherent with their cues because they do things a little differently than others. I absolutely love the cue but my hand was slipping very badly, which made me have...

About a year ago, I switched cues from one with a linen wrap to a no wrap cue. I really got used to the one with no wrap, but I decided to buy a cue that has a Black Irish Linen Wrap installed on it, just because it was such a gorgeous cue and because I didn't think there would be much of an...

I offer this song, which is looped for a total of almost an hour, of what I believe is fantastic practice music, because it has a great calming effect. It will also help you establish a consistent rhythm as you work through your drills. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHMAx7AmK70

It was very simple; Keep in mind, I can blow the picture up as much as I choose, and draw hash marks with my telestrator. All I did was take the view from above, and advance it one frame at a time, pausing between each advance of frame, so that I could put a hash mark at the position of the...

That is the point I am trying to make! There are some that are saying it is clear that it is a foul, even when they slow it down. I admit that when I saw the regular video, it looked like a foul to me. However, using software, when you pause it at just the right time, you can clearly see that...
