    Cue pivot SOTW alternative?

    Funny thing is....years ago I told this method on a drive back from Vegas to a long time avid pool player I had played on BCA teams with in vegas back when it was at the Riviera (now passed away RIP) He shockingly to me had never heard of this method......He was a math guy and actually had a...

    Cue pivot SOTW alternative?

    @1:00 in he explains the method. It not only works to a pocket.......it also works when kicking at a ball.....even down to a specific "side" of a ball.....which becomes very helpful on kick safes. What I like about this method is it is geometrically accurate (assuming no conditional...

    The new U S. pro pool tour

    Same kind of thing happened with the now Griffin Cup (Arizona vs Vegas)....at first it was all top names from the area...Scott, Mitch Max etc. ....but then they started with the team Fargo cap and it seemed to lose some of the luster.....I get the 1 Female per team concept......but they started...

    Cue pivot SOTW alternative?

    That was pretty much what I got and think the video intended....since the cue is approx. the width of the table it somewhat works...(notice however both shots he actually hits rail first not directly into the ball) I much prefer the mini mirror method (some call it the X method I...

    Ascension Carbon Fiber shaft.

    "Wood Feel".....that is a term that will be fading out.....Same thing happened in Golf in the 80s when the Taylor Made Burner came out....Very similar comments to this thread....just no internet back then. The term "metal wood" was always a bit funny to me. I am not sure why there is this...

    Definition of tips of English

    What about the size of the tip? Is 1 tip equal to 1 tip? (Exaggeration for effect)......If I have a 1mm tip vs a 10mm tip....struck in the same spot (one tip for the 10mm tip)....does that mean for the 1mm tip I just put on 10 tips of english?

    2026 U.S. Open: Best pool match ever?

    Probably missed by the younger generation Kind of like Jordan ....but...IMHO.....I doubt anything will ever beat the Color of Money match between Earl and Efren......(Google it)....Sorry guys and girls.....The US Open match this year was a good match...but didn't even come close to the COM...

    Right Side/Left Side

    I am a very strong left eye dominant...(shoot left handed).......Many many moons ago in my travels....I was given a tip from a genuine authenticated certified actual world beater that I should come into alignment on all my shots from right to left....Walk around the table if you have to....just...

    Another alignment key position not discussed much?

    IMO .......the only consistency to the feet is the back foots relationship to the shot line. Some set up with it on the shot line, inside the shot line or perhaps even heel on the shot line etc.....I think some of that placement is dictated by your eye dominance and how you sight the...

    Butch Harmon, David Leadbetter, Hank Haney....3 world renown golf instructors never a top 100 player......There are THOUSANDS more across the country.... Same goes for pool....... You don't have to be Efren Reyes or Earl Strickland to give good advice/instruction.......If you think...

    Is isolated straight-stroke practice really worth the time???

    Here is your "key"....You can't force a straight stroke.....I mean you can try to force it straight a million times "practicing" a straight stroke. but under pressure a "forced" straight stroke will fail. A crooked stroke is magnified by pressure, amount of force applied, or using english. In...

    How would you do this?

    Well.....you are a favorite to lose this rack...so hard to judge the second rail...I don't like an attempt at a 2 rail........What would I do?.....Punt.....I would attempt to bank toward the 9 but bank long at just above the middle diamond with pocket speed....and try and go one rail with the CB...

    What beginner pool tip do you wish you learned sooner?

    Well....13 pages deep and did not see this one mentioned that sometimes I wish I would have been told. "Stay off the damn forums!!!!" Truth be told....I may be partially to blame...(although it would have happened anyway)....I never really mention this much...but those Valley of the Sun...

    Fixing eyes or adjusting aim

    I get that people have varying amounts of eye dominance...and you naturally see to that amount of dominant eye....and need to learn to align based on that amount of eye dominance........I guess what I really meant to say is I don't like the "term" Vision Center.......It seems (to me) like just a...

    Fixing eyes or adjusting aim

    If you do the circle (or triangle) dominant eye test and then close your dominant eye. You can see just how dominant your dominant eye is.....the further outside the circle the more dominant...When I do the circle test the object will move completely out of the circle. Dominant Eye Test I am...
