    3-ball and 14:1 - how do they help you?

    I have to say that 3 ball can help your game. When I was trying to get my kids started, the way I would teach them to plan ahead was to put 3 balls out and get them to work backwards from the last ball and shoot the pattern out.

    14.1 Books or Videos

    If you can find them, the Mike Sigel videos "perfect pool" and "runout pool" both have very informative sections on straight pool.

    "No Conflict Rack & Break Rules" second event

    Paul, I like your breaking rules for 9 ball. I tried it with a friend, and although he was skeptical at first, he ended up liking it as well.

    Bar Table • Heavy Cue Balls • Pool Tips •

    Joey, I switch from a TOUGH 9 foot Olhausen to loose bar boxes every week. The biggest thing that helps me while adjusting to the speed of the smaller tables is to use the big corner pockets to allow myself to hit a ball fatter or thinner to control how far whitey rolls after contact. And as...

    2010 AZ Straight Pool Challenge!

    On April 7, I upped my high run for the year to 23. Baby steps I guess. The miss that stopped the run made me sick when I missed it. Simple shot.

    I'm excited about my new cue!!!

    I have been thinking about a new playing cue for a while now. I am an unusual guy, because I have little interest in designing my own cue. So I just keep an eye on the unfinished stuff on the wall of my cuemaker, and I figured something would grab me one day when I saw it. Last night I was at...

    When you changed to a LD shaft ?

    When I had the OB1 made for my Trogdon, there was no adjustment time that I noticed at all. In fact, I still switch out all the time with no ill effects. I think one of the reasons is I had a Moori quick installed on the OB, therefore the tips are consistent on both shafts. I also used to...

    How much is too much for you to bet racing to 9?

    I voted anything over $20 takes me out of my comfort zone. My finances are in bad shape for the last couple years, and that has lowered my comfort level considerably.

    How good is the average poster on AZBilliards

    Well, the BCA thinks I'm a 9 (of 10 possible), and the poolhall has me as an A player for tournaments.

    Playing Position Methodology

    Generally, I try to take the easiest shot available, and use the easy shot to get position on the tougher balls. My theory is that it's easier to use a simple shot to move the cueball around off of.

    Which Tip to break with in BCA

    I use a LePro milk dud as a break tip, and my break works fine and helps me win matches. My break works as well as the guys who still use phenolic break tips.

    I was just messing with the jump off the rail bank sunday night, and it was working a good percentage of the time. I'd bank it in the side.

    Poll: What's your primary game?

    I answered straight pool, because it's what I play when I have the choice, but I play a lot of 9 ball because that's where I can make money gambling and in tournaments, and I play 8 ball every week in leagues. I also have a friend teaching (read "beating the hell out of me") me one pocket. I...

    The most controversial AZ Billiards post, EVER
