I perform the Mighty X drill a lot. I have an issue, though, and have been trying to figure out why. I shoot an entire rack (8 in one direction and 8 on the other diagonal; I use the Rempe training ball the set came with as my 16th) with a short backstroke low cue speed. I can shoot all 16...

"Rerack and debris on Lane 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16."

How do you think I developed that list? From my own game! 😆

“I sometimes need the seat down. And sometimes I need the seat up. You need the seat down EVERY TIME. So why can’t you remember to put it down when you need the toilet?” And that’s when the fight started.

So many possibilities: - they can’t kick well - they can’t bank well - they can’t combo well - they can’t jump well - they can’t make loooonnnngggg shots well - their CB control is not that good so they have trouble breaking up clusters - they can’t deal with slow or fast play well - they can’t...

Do illegal breaks and shot clock violations count toward three-foul loss of frame count?

If you’re not gambling with them, why would you need to trust them?

I played a version of 8 recently where my non-pool playing friends shot like Scotch Doubles but it was more like Scotch Septuples. Their inning was all seven players and their turn was over after all seven had a turn. If any one of them made a ball they would keep shooting until they missed...

That part I got. WTF is under that?

Might help if he spelled it correctly. cogitate /ˈkäjəˌtāt/ Cogitate (/ˈkɑː.dʒə.teɪt/) means to think deeply, carefully, and intently about something. It is a formal term often used when describing the act of pondering, meditating, or mulling over a problem, idea, or situation.

BCA, TAP Small local handicapped tournaments I don’t remember the brands but on the “competition” side there are: 4x9’ tables for 14.1 and 1P that play fast, bouncy cushions, tough corner pocket angle faces. Shoot down the rail with precision and touch or balls will rattle out; 12x8’ tables...

I must be dense. I can’t discern what the image in the circle depicts.

As soon as Steven A Smith appears (if I have tuned in by accident) on the screen, the channel is changed as quickly as I can get my hands on the remote. (His initials SAS are in the wrong order.)

A stationary CB is exactly why I don’t drink alcohol until after I am done playing pool. 😆

That’s just a Tuesday in Florida.

My flippant first response notwithstanding, advice I would give my beginner self (in spite of how long I’ve been playing I am still not really beyond an advanced beginner, maybe barely an intermediate) is to solidify fundamentals as a foundation. Then, once it’s pretty strong, quit thinking...

I often laugh, even sometimes at myself, when someone misses badly, gets perfect shape on the next shot and points saying “I missed but got perfect shape.” Most often, unless the shot was a rattle near-miss, if the OB went in, the CB probably wouldn’t have ended up perfect for the next shot cuz...

Wow, you always come through, Chopdoc! Thanks! Any guess as to its value current condition and also restored?

Try baseball, cards, bike riding, anything but pool or golf.

Knowing that I have a few Adam cues, a youngster at the pool hall asked me about an Adam he has. It's rough, and needs some TLC. He put tape on the unraveling wrap. He is wondering how much it might be worth. Can anyone tell me: - Is this truly a very early Adam? (I am dubious on his...
