Dave- After devouring almost all of your articles( Got delayed by studying for finals) I escaped studying today for a few minutes to practice the ghost ball aiming technique you illustrated.. HOLY COW. No wonder I've been missing easy shots... I was aiming at contact point. I started aiming...

OK thanks for the tips

just bumping this with a question... It seems like the best overall way would be to set up 3-4 balls, increasing more as I go, and practice being able to play specific position on them. Also shooting the shots that I have the most trouble with. Just playing racks isn't going to help too...

Hey all- Just thought I would start a thank you thread to dr. dave of billiards.colostate.edu He definitely deserves this- I just printed off around 100 pages or so of his articles a couple of days ago... and just reading them has helped my understanding IMMENSELY. I can't wait to get a chance...

OK thanks a lot you guys

ok thats fine. just wondering if there was a way to do it similar to a VCR. Wasn't meaning to steal anything just wanted to catch a match

Hey all- Unfortunately i will be at work during the yu ram cha match and I would really like to see it. is there any way to record it at home on my computer for viewing later? Thanks

OK thanks for the great tip. I played last night against a buddy of mine just for fun... And I must confess I played awful... Really just missing some easy shots. When we went to nine ball I played a little better.. However what i took out of it was a lesson in confidence and self control...

I enjoy watching women's pool and did hear what shawn had to say about it, and I agree with the majority of it. However, I still think that women's pool is extremely competitive and some of the top players (Yu Ram Cha for example) are just as good as or even better than some of the men. I'll...

A re-match will be on? Where? I didn't get to see any of it so I'm quite eager to do so... i think she's one of the if not the best player I've ever seen

OK thanks for the advice... However an instructor is probably out of the question ATM... maybe in a few months or so... I'm only a teenager... not alot of money to pay for one

yea I'm talking to rackem... question: Nickel or dime tip? Which one is better for playing? I've seen somewhere that nickel is slightly better... Also do I need a tip pick?

Hopefully its over soon... Does anyone know if the next match will be any good?

Yea normally I do wear contacts, but some days I wear my glasses just because I don't feel like putting in my contacts early in the morning. But I'm just curious, how would you rate missing 4 shots/rack? To me that's awful... even though this is the best I've ever played so far.. but it still...

Don't worry you missed nothing... I'm watching Schmidt vs. Bartram right now at TAR... much more interesting than Predator ATM...

WOw.... that took a while....

Hey all- As I've been playing, I can't help thinking that I'm just not very good. I don't want this attitude because it can only negatively effect my game... So I'm curious as to how you measure skill. I'm trying to get a video of me playing up on youtube but its not working right now so...

bumping this to the top... would like some additional advice before I go home after school and shoot pool...

so that last tulipwood is up for sale for 2 more months? Cool.... that's good

oh cool... I'll look into that. Won't have money for a cue for a couple weeks though. Would you recommend having a professional do the tip for me? I don't have a cutter or anything so it may just be worth it....
