    Rail Hops

    L.J. Jones performs that shot on a the video her and Jim Rempe made many years ago, either on: Pool School or Power Pool. The basic concept is to "expand" the playing area, not a very high percentage shot but it is a shot. :) The video was produced and directed by Bob Meucci in the early...

    diamond system

    Hi Colin, No problem, that is what I posted them for; to educate players who have lacked the kicking skills needed in 9 Ball. Twenty-Nine pages!!! I didn't realized it was that much. Bob’s right, so many systems; so many numbers to remember. I can’t remember how many systems I mentioned but it...

    Bert Kinister instructional Tapes?

    No Problem Drivemaker I realize that many of these systems, videos, etc. are basically the same thing and that the authors of these videos most likely did not invent them, but they did publish them and I respect their copyrights to them. It was very difficult for me not to include Grady's...

    Bert Kinister instructional Tapes?

    Hi, RecoveryJones mentioned that I borrowed some of the kicking series from Grady, I purposely did not mention any of Grady's Kicking methods because he sells this info on his tapes and I didn't think it ethical to mention them; I may have mentioned Dr Cue's "Plus Two" system but am not sure...

    2 rails to the side...

    Try this and see how it works: Basic idea is “knowing where the pocket is”. Set the cue ball one diamond up from the corner pocket and bank it in the side, do the same for the second and third diamond up from the corner pocket; now you know where the pocket is for “two rails (short/long) in...

    The Diamond System

    Concerning my kicking posts As Bob suggested it REALLY helps if you have someone by yourside to run through these systems. The information I provided in my posts were done quickly and are sketchy at best and were provided as help for those who have NO CLUE as to how to kick; AND I'LL BLAME ALL...

    Cloth used at the IPT...

    General observation, not directed to or at anyone Weak players like fast cloth because it’s easy to play on, you don’t have to get “on the ball” good you can play long and/or out of line shots and the cue ball will HOPEFULLY land for another long and/or out of line shot, and the saga continues...

    Measles Cue Ball??

    I think this explains it I’m not sure which package came first ( I believe it was the one on the left ) but a few years ago Aramith sold this ball separately, then took it off the market and began to sell it ONLY with a set of TV balls; recently Aramith began to market the ball separately...

    Big Apple finals

    Well, Tony should not have played that combo, it was VERY low percentage and anything but STRAIGHT IN; he was anxious to win the match and jumped on this very low percentage shot. Tony played good through the entire tournament and was VERY capable of running out the table as it layed. About...

    Best camcorder for pool videos?

    Hi Mikie :D Any camcorder will do if it's only for your own personal training use, consumer digital cameras are dirt cheap now days. If you're having light problems you can add more light if you're at home and use the least expensive digital camcorder you can find; if you're in a pool hall...

    Pennsylvania Pool Rooms

    Hi, Worked for the State in Harrisburg for many years, I believe Bert's place is on the Carlisle Pike??? He opened it after I retired. If you head over the Market St. bridge from downtown Harrisburg and follow Market St til it ends (about 30 blocks ) at Route 11/15 and continue straight on...

    Thank you DeadAim

    My mentor says: My instructor, Jim Rempe, says: "You should be rewarded for a good kick." Case in point. Efren Reyes. How many times does Efren kick and either make the object ball or kick his opponent safe? The more you practice kicks the more you will be rewarded after good hits. DD was...

    Thank you DeadAim

    Still Here Hi, Didn't go anywhere, just playing lots of pool, shoveling snow, and staying away from my PC; except to play against Chessmaster 9000. Just happen to log in to check out the tournament scene on the East Coast. DD I'm glad the kicking posts helped, it's nice of you to give ME...

    Shim Pockets?

    Just an opinion Well, Here’s how I look at it. A table comes from the factory in STOCK condition, just like a car. Let’s say our table has 5” openings from the factory, even though it has facings it is considered shimless. Single shimmed would reduce this opening to 4 ¾”. Double shimmed...

    where did i see that pool notebook?

    They pop up on ebay about once or twice a month, look under: Sporting Goods - Billiards - Books and Videos. OR Better yet. Just copy the wei table to your paint program and print out as many pages as you want, if you do not like the wei table there are plenty of "blank" tables on web pages...
