    $%^# Handicapped Tournaments!

    I played in Mike Page's 8-ball tourny last month, and I'll say it is as fair as it gets. There are obviously players who are quite better then my game, but with the handicap I do have a chance. Ditto for the lesser players. Nothing wrong with giving them a chance. Remember, you don't HAVE to...

    House cue Pro?

    I do believe that a poor stick can affect the way you play, but for the most part it's phycological. A tip can and will have an adverse affect on a player as well, but again, its for the most part, all in the mind. However, countless games have been wagered on, played with, and won, while using...

    Interesting cue in ebay

    IMO its an UGLY sucker! Maybe its just because it doesn't follow "traditional" design stereotypes. Kind of like them "ugly" Dodge pickups when they first came out in the early 90's. Now I drive one myself! :D

    If fundamentals established, how important are drills?

    I beleive it is said in "A Mind For Pool" that an amature practices a shot until they make it, but a pro practices a shot until they cant miss it. That, it seems to me, Is what seperates the real players from the shooters.

    What criteria to use to rate Players

    Two weeks ago I spoke over the phone with a TD. I was looking for info and ranking for an upcoming 8-ball tourny. He mentioned a few players that live in my area and asked how I faired agaist them. I told him that they are strong but I hang right with them. He then tells me that he'll rank...

    Money matches and climbing uphill?

    For me that loss probably came because of the nerves of having to play for so much on the line. And that always is determined by the amount of money I have on hand and how many bills are yet to be payed. In my expirience, I may lose once for that amount, but I'll get it back on the rematch...

    dumb question of the week

    First importance for myself anyway is body alignment. Without my body properly aligned, and good body mechanics, I'll very seldom be on center ball hit, and even if I happen to be, it won't last long. Then I work alittle on my center ball contact. Then speed control. First with just the CB...

    My Midwest Custom

    What a great place to show our cues. Whether we purchase, design or build, its always fun to look at the beauty and uniqueness of each cue. I've had this cue for a couple months now but its still "new" to me. My first custom. I'm not much on all the fancy points and designs. I like wood...

    The most Action?

    About 20 years ago I was shooting 8-ball in bar when a guy I'd known for several years but had NEVER seen play pool, walks up and asks if I wanted to play for some money. I said sure and we decided to play for $1.00 a game. I win, so we went double or nothing, and I win again, and again, and...

    Did You Ever Have "That Night?"

    I actually had two weeks of "that night". It was great. Couldn't miss and every leave was perfect. Played most of the best players in this area and really took it to them. Must have won 50 strait games of 8-ball. I thought I'd finally arrived. Then just like a snap of the fingers it was over...
