Well, this was a first for me. Shot one into the other and they both got stuck. Is it a miss or a good shot? If it is, which one gets pocketed? Both?

July 11th, Mike Masse, the trick shot champ will be coming to Hard Times in Germantown, MD for an exhibition and a will offer an oppertunity to play with him! He will do some trick shots and then play a few games with the winners of a couple tournaments in the weeks leading up to it. I'm signed...

I see. So basically, we can chaulk that one up to a draw and have mulligan, so to speak? Interesting... In anycase, thanks for the posts. I was sure that an x number of consecutive fouls would leave to an automatic loss.

I am playing a game of 8ball earlier today with a friend. Down to the last few balls, game turns into a defensive pissing match. my shot, I play defence and push the 9 to the 8, a chokehold shot. afterwards, my friend shoots the 6 and gets into a position to try and free himself...

an update: well, today, i've shot pool for about 8 or so hours, just working on my game. i've taken a huge step back and went back to basics. my stance, my stroke, my foot position...everything. I spent considerable time practicing on my own, focusing on various components of my game to help...

if it were me, i'd play it so that i'd have a decent bank on the 8 and set myself up for a relatively easy 9ball shot. if not, then i'd put left on it and try and get to A.

Recently, i've been having a HORRIBLE slump in my game. I can't make simple shots, complex shots, shots that I would usually make 99/100 times and everything else in between. At my pool hall, I win maybe one game out of ten or so, which gives you an idea of how bad it is. I'm no pro nor am I a...

disaggregating - to break apart into constituent parts for analysis. *edit* whoop, beat me to it. Anyways, do you, by any chance, have the research documented? i'd be very interested in how the numbers turned up. something i've always wondered myself but lack the resources to fully...

i just want to clarify here a bit. a peice of leather rubbed along the shaft for maintenance. is this to be done with each use of the cue or periodically?

i find that APA is great for the beginer pool player. it is simple, fun, and effective in mixing good players with inexperienced players so that the two can be in an environment that would otherwise not be available for some. personally, my game has improved by alot because of the fact that i am...

i'm still confused here. my take on what happened: 1) gyk is translator 2) something to do with a foul 3) gyk is banned i'm missing alot here.

watched it for the first time, interesting movie.

i find it ironic that you start a thread about usefullness of topics created by individuals while at the same time, you yourself are guilty of the action in which you deem as "hogwash." how much of a contribution does your thread about the most posts give to AZ and pool? seems to me, coming from...

A few days ago, I was playing a friend of mine over a friendly game of 8ball and the strangest thing happened. I'm shooting stripes, he's shooting solids. This is the layout of the table: The shot previous, my friend just barely nicks the 8 into the corner pocket and leaves it hanging by the...

Excuse the noobery but i've always wondered if one were to "train" the muscles associated with the break via weightlifting/conditioning etc, would the end result be a better break? And for what it's worth, my vote goes to Jeff de Luna. ps i'm a new member here so please, if any of you have...

Great news. Congrats!

we were playing by standard APA rules. poolsharkallen called it. i ended up tapping the 12 and giving ball in hand. my friend cleared all except the 9 and the 12 at which point, he left a pretty good safty but i was able to kick off across the rail into the eight.

i'm shooting at the 8. tried to knock the 12 out the way but i didn't hit it hard enough, afriad that i might knock the eight in. how would you get the 8ball? we were playing on real table, btw...

I have not shot with a Lucasi cue before. I have however, shot with a cue using uni-loc joints if that has any indication as to how these cues will feel like. And thank you for the ebay link to Nielsens Billiards. Looks like i'm getting a bridge, a case, and a taper now!

in terms of performance, i guess its the same then?
