    Get your opponent rattled by breaking,this should anyway

    That nothing. I can break a nine ball rack and the cue ball will go straight up and hit the ceiling, that is if it don't hit the light fixture. Actually last Saturday night I broke and the rack was hanging on the end of the light fixture and the cue ball and rack came down on the table. I had...

    Players brand cues?

    I bought a players sneaky a year ago for the purpose of breaking jumping, a stick I could be the hell out of and not care. It has performed very well especially for $50.

    Patterns

    One good way is to download the virtual pool 3 game demo at http://www.celeris.com/games/vp3/ This is a pool game that uses real physics of a pool table. It has a tracking feature that you can turn on in practice mode. It will show the cue ball path and it will show the path of all object...

    The addiction of pool

    I think attention needs to be aim towards many other addictions besides pool. Like the fact the US is the fattest nation in the world because people are addicted to eating at McDonalds everyday. People's unheathly lifestyles are getting worse as time goes by.

    Bar Box Players vs. 9-foot Table Players

    The bar box was designed to allow people to pocket balls easier, so that games would be shorter so that you would deposit more money into them quicker.

    Question about Everest tip

    You know this is my same problem. I got a predator Z first gen shaft with everest tip and after a 3 or 4 weeks I started to miscue much more using lots of english. When I first got it, it was hard to make it miscue. I use a cue cube which helps alot but it is nowhere near as good when I first...

    How many rails?

    Where I send the cue ball depends alot on other obsticles. I look for every possible path and I choose the easiest, best method. Sometimes you can't go 2 or 3 rails easily due to other object balls in that path, which makes it necessary to use one rail and possible having to use inside english.

    Predator learning curve -advice please

    I looked at the predator site on how to adjust to a predator. Isn't this aim path and actual path backwards in this image. I would aim more inside the object ball in this shot using right english. I just got a predator Z about 2 months ago. I was using a meucci red dot shaft that was worn down...

    How Much Gamble Do...

    I am pretty fair when it comes to money games especially against someone I know. I even sometimes give the 5 or 6 out especially if I can consistantly win with the 7 or 8 out against them. Some of those guys though are looking for a sure game sometimes and they want rediculous spots. All it...

    PC based pool game

    You can play online with it but it would only work with people that have the same version. Of course now a days there are not many people left that have that version so it would be very difficult to find opponents.

    Earliest age to start learning

    I do agree with you. I would never try to push it on him. If he likes pool that much then fine then I will teach him what I can. If not then that is fine. There are a few very good golfers in the family too. Maybe he would be more into that then pool. It is just one option that he can...

    PC based pool game

    It's been a long time since I have seen a new pool game. First of all most of the pool games are crap as far as real physics of a pool. The only one I found to be close is Virtual Pool 3 by Celeris. It can actually improve certain pool skills. I found it to be fairly accurate. This version...

    Earliest age to start learning

    I was wondering what age typically would be reasonable for a kid to learn the game. I sure it depends on the person but I would like to know by average. I didn't start learning until I was about 21 years old. I'm 28 now and for a couple years now I'm ranked 3A in my local arenas. I picked...

    Bar Table Myths? - What are your thoughts?

    I feel the same as some others that the bar box normally is going to shorten the gap between a pro and a beginner. Overall a pro should still overcome a beginner in a series of games on a bar box. The beginner will likely win more games though then they would on the 9 foot table. On a bar box...
