    Another stupid thread from me: golf is harder than pool

    I remember Earl Saying pools harder than golf ys ago. I know Grady Matthews once said to get good you have to hit at least 2,000,000 pool balls. In golf, if you hit two million balls, you better be in Dam good shape, as I've heard many pro golfers often need some type of surgery.

    Another stupid thread from me: golf is harder than pool

    I grew up in Powers Lake Wisconsin 53159. When I was 13 went to a bar and bought a 14 yr old girl a screwdriver. I liked the name, and it burned down the next yr. :)

    Identify this GC model???

    Here's a max play GCI during the Medina years in Denver, first shipment of I's in the state. I think the GCI's had thicker formica and a slightly more rounded top rail.

    Drills to correct your alignment

    Nice explanation Bob.... Sigel was a great example of this.... obj ball had no rotation entering the pocket. The sound of his hit pocketing the ball always had that ''slap'' sound hitting the back of the pocket.

    Drills to correct your alignment

    Watched a recent video from Niels Feijen about aiming. He mentioned ''aim from the hip''. Realizing this, that's where your cue stick is, above your r/s hip bone. (right handed players) By doing this repetitively.... it creates your baseline of body movement when approaching your chosen shot...

    New Type of Weekly Break Pot/Split Hit Draw Shot Challenge

    Most room tournaments have pretty good players takin a shot at the break pot, so this could involve the non entrants. Charge one dollar per try, max two times, could be fun/cheap.

    New Type of Weekly Break Pot/Split Hit Draw Shot Challenge

    This might be cool after seeing D. Dave having to execute the split hit draw shot 67 times before he got the split hit to occur. Give every player two chances to win the pot, put up X $ and go for it.

    Yapp’s Controversial Tournament-Winning Shot in the 8-Ball World Championship … Was it a Foul?

    Agreed, but I think he knew which ball he contacted first. If he'd of picked up the cb and handed to his opponent.... that would Speak loudly to mankind.

    Yapp’s Controversial Tournament-Winning Shot in the 8-Ball World Championship … Was it a Foul?

    I disagree, I saw a player last week make a ball had perfect shape to run out but told his opponent he didn't call the shot. One's character and person are more important to many than Money.

    Nice thing about the OP, you don't have to shoot a ball ''into'' the pocket to make it. ;)
