    What beginner pool tip do you wish you learned sooner?

    This book seems to be a whole collection of what the OP is looking for. But I doubt it. Has anyone ever heard of Mr. Moyle?

    The long decline of ESPN

    ESPN is still mentioned for getting pool out to the public. Here's why that's not going to happen. I really like this guy's insights to various businesses that have screwed up.

    SJM Trip Report: 2026 WNT UK Open a Big Hit

    I met him at last year's European Open -- just as you describe. Here is an interview with Karl about what's in his case.

    A pool player filming until they run a rack (says it's his 10th day)

    One rack per day, it seems. All up on his FleeceBunk reels. No BIH after the break. The wing ball is usually going in.

    Audience Sharking (Unintentional, but INSANE?)

    So, somebody is watching an important match between two top players and the score is hill-hill and the player is down on a critical shot, trying to run out. That spectator is so disinterested in the shot and the match that they decide to stand up and wander around without apparent purpose...

    Fred J Velten from Marin, California?

    I've been around the Bay Area for a long time, and I don't recall hearing of Fred. You might try contacting Lee Simon, the owner of Buffalo Billiards in Petaluma. He's been in Marin/Sonoma his whole life.

    SJM Trip Report: 2026 WNT UK Open a Big Hit

    Well, there was a flight from NOLA at noon on Monday that got into London at 6AM on the first day of play (Tuesday). The current format has all 256 players playing on the first day. The first match was at 11AM. Tight but possible. It seems that Fedor was on a later flight from NOLA. I think he...

    Savannah “The RoadRunner” Easton using a wood shaft?

    Several posters seem to be overlooking the fact that Savannah now plays with CF shafts on both her playing and breaking cues.

    What beginner pool tip do you wish you learned sooner?

    If that's your practice routine, I think you should expect progress to be very slow if it happens at all. For the first six years I played, I arranged for my practice time to be free or very cheap. How about instructors where you live?

    secret to long table bank shots

    All banks and kicks depend on the cushions and cloth. That means there is no one perfect system. There are also all the user errors, as Pat mentioned, as well as the effects of throw and any side spin that gets on the object ball. What most players don't understand is how hard banks are...

    Discussion: Focusing on the cue ball compared to other sports

    Does this mean to switch eyes from the cue ball to the object ball and refocus while the cue ball is on its way?

    Anyone try CJ Wiley's SuperStance and SuperStroke Trainers?

    It's possible that the rubber band thing could actually help people who have stroke issues, but it seems to me to be too far removed from the mechanics of normal shooting. As for the Arthur Murray foot templates... ... I have had several beginning students whose natural stance was with both...

    Discussion: Focusing on the cue ball compared to other sports

    For students with that problem, I have them watch the ferrule on the final stroke. That also forces them to see their follow-through and whether they stay down.

    Discussion: Focusing on the cue ball compared to other sports

    I think a major reason players who are learning aiming should look at the object ball last is to see where they land the cue ball on the object ball. For them, I think cue ball last is very bad advice. As for the OP, it would be interesting to see before and after videos of him shooting...

    Siming vs Ronnie, C8B

    His sleeve was directly over a ball. Maybe it sagged. A proper pool shirt has skinny sleeves. The foul was at 4:04:44 in the video.
