My first cue was gifted to me when we moved to a condo with a pool table. It later became my sister's first cue. But my first real cue I bought for myself still gets some play now and then. I played around with an Earlesque fat wrap on the butt (13 overgrips) and didn't want to mess with...

Tried the G2 soft recently and didn't like it. Squishy. Too soft for me and I like softies. It's hardened up a bit since, but the only good thing I can say about it is that for how soft it is, it kept its shape remarkably well.

ye. here's a snippet from a brain training site's write up on the various brain wave rhythms.... "Theta waves are strong during internal focus, meditation, prayer, and spiritual awareness. It reflects the state between wakefulness and sleep and relates to the subconscious mind." I couldn't...

I got to play a new one of these recently. It played fantastic. I guess time will tell how it holds up, but initial level is worthy of having majors played on it for sure. I get that aesthetics are personal preference, but give me this thing over a diamond any day. GC still my fav look...

K. I will give it another shot on my main player next. The good one I had was one of the best I ever played, the next one, not so much. Lucky number 3 hopefully.

Have you had issues with consistency tip to tip? I absolutely loved the tiger everest that came on one of my cues. Then when I got a new one, it didn't play the same at all.

Yup, I've recommended them here before. Super solid overview of the most common snooker grip--the pronated grip.

While associated with alpha waves, 'the zone' is for alpha waves and slower, namely Theta waves. This is why 'the zone' is sometimes even referred to as 'theta' these days. The Soviets were definitely on to something as you are absolutely right that we can't just summon 'the zone'. Theta...

Really? When I was young I mostly played a loop bridge and if open I tucked my middle two fingers under because with a spread hand, my ring finger would dance around involuntarily. Was more of a distraction than a trigger for focus. But I never tried to do it, it just happened.

Even for shots within the general peace sign range of intended use, actual ball paths will vary by a few degrees. The 30degree-ish peace sign is a good guide for getting you close if you don't have a clear idea, but with experience, your eye gets even more precise once you've seen certain shots...

It isn't....once you've hit enough shots.

PJ makes some good points. Unfortunately, no post on the internet is going to make me forget my experience with different sized tips.... I play an 11.5mm. After a long break from the game I literally couldn't game it at first. Went to a 12.5 and shot much better. Once enough rust was...

LOL Very smart people are not immune to making very dumb plays as they are learning the game (and many years into thinking they 'know' the game). A poker author wrote about how genius businessmen can play like droolers at the tables....it doesn't mean they're dumb (or on the spectrum lol)...

My best pool and my best golf happen on that almost mythical 'right amount' of weed. My worst happens on the wrong amount...but at least it's fun.

I see we have some different definitions of these words lol. For the purposes of this response, the definitions I'm going with are: aim: where I want to hit the OB. alignment: how well I arrange my setup on the shot line to deliver the CB where I want (to my aim point). A quick check to see...

Slow, yes, but ridiculously slow is a bit much. I played a rack with a snooker player where everyone knew he was out as soon as he broke. That rack took closer to 10min than 5min. That was ridiculously slow. When it's so bad that you start wondering if the pace is just a sharking tactic...

Guys yelling buy and sell are paid to do it at the wrong times to mislead normies. That said, cannabis had a nice hype bubble with everyone piling in before legalization and then it's been a few years of a selloff. They in accumulation now tho. Aurora got as high as 1200 and was about...

One way to improve pace of play if decision making is at the root of it as you say is simply to study the table and look at your options while your opponent is at the table. Identifying connected balls, problems and their potential solutions can often be done in the chair. Even if balls are...

I'm surprised such a high percentage of golfers are 10hcp or better (34%). In general I think too high a percentage is reported at single digit handicaps.... 20% are 7hcp or better. 10% are 4.9hcp or better. 5% are 2hcp or better. Then again, only official handicaps are counted and better...

I like your comparisons at the top end. But there is just no way a 500-550 is an 'average league player'. Most league players never sniff 500. There are 6s below 500 for life. 7s start around 550 in most areas no? I would guess that your below avg leage player estimated fargo would...
