I realize that many people cannot get to Stan for a personal lesson. However for those of us who have taken the lesson, who have spent the time required practicing the lessons and shots displayed, and have taken the time necessary to grasp how the system works, we know CTE/Pro One works and are...

Smokin Cue has big tournaments and money players. Wedn night 9 ball tourney with break & run(10 ball) 2/3 drawings $1000 a ball. Can find money matches at any level. Seen 5 a game to 100 a game.

After hearing both sides of the story, I have to agree with what Megan did asking the gentleman to replay. This would have beeen settled more professionally if she stopped their match while she looked up his information but that can't be helped now. Asking him to replay a match was wrong...

I would have to agree. Whether people use pivot, sweet, inside/outside...it takes me a while to interpret what they mean. I'm strictly Pro One. Visual sweeps are quite clear to me. Probably using the wrong side of my brain. Great vids. Looking forward to the new dvd.

Pro One Aiming If you have a straight shot down the rail, how do you place your aiming leg on the shot line and make this shot? You would be aiming into the rail. Pro One isn't difficult to learn, it just takes time and a willingness to adapt. Pro One is truly a center pocket system. Put...

I played in a local tourney 3 wknds ago and director asked me my rating. I'm a new 8-ball player w/ a 3 skill level. He says he'll keep me in at that level. So, during matches I play my usual game. Take shots that I know I can make. If I am uncertain, I play safe. So, during one match...

How do I know what my rating is if I've never played apa 9 ball? The reason I ask is b/c I played in a local tourney 3 wknds ago and director asked me my rating. I'm a new 8-ball player w/ a 3 skill level. He says he'll keep me in at that level. So, during matches I play my usual game. Take...

On the note of lessons...how does one move beyond that? How do I find a coach? Someone who is willing to help me reach my personal goal rather than just show me how to stand and hold a cue? Billiards is more than just cueing, you have pressure situations and learning ways of dealing with...

I believe that most people starting out or even average players don't know where to go for coaching. I asked one of the shooters in a local bar to help me work on my banking. Sure he says. Just watch me...$80 bucks to watch some guy make bank shots while not explaining english, speed...

The man got cheated. Afterwards, he supposedly drunk a little and supposedly got a little out of hand. Whatever...Who cares??? That's not the point here. During the match he got shafted by a bad call. The ball might have hit the 5 ball due to a 6" rule? WTF?? Anyone would be upset after a...

I'm bummed! I just moved from KC to Charlotte. Good luck at Side Pockets. If you can't find action there, definitely head to Shooters in Olathe. You can't help but find a game there. #$^ Jr. National Champs...kid gives me a 7-3 race in 8 ball. How can I say no. After 2 sets I was sick to...

thanks for the update. i've been working on pro/one since the video came out. can't wait to get a private lesson.

Thank you for clarifying that for me.

I'm not going to get in a shouting match with you. Yes, you pay a monthly amount. And yes, I do have friends who live in Taiwan. So, are we good.

I don't understand why everyone is crying about playing a tough opponent. It was an open event. Taiwan (unlike the States) has numerous pool schools where you pay a monthly stipend to learn the game. They just don't go to a bar and hope to get better. Some are even ranked within their...

I recently moved to charlotte. I've played at a few bars around here. With limited knowledge, I can state that the Green Room off South Blvd always has players in there. Whether you game is one pocket or whatever.

Thanks for the input. I would agree that one on one instruction would be greatly beneficial to work on 'my' issues and would provide the instructor more time to help me establish the flaws with my fundamentals and ways to correct them.

I could use some helpful criticism from everyone here. I have an opp to take lessons from either stan shuffett (individual lessons) or tim simpson(pool school). After 7 years of playing I'm transitioning to 9' tables from bar boxes. Yeah, long distance shots suck and I'm finding flaws in my...

hey all! new the the site. love the sport. perhaps some of you can assist me. moving up to the big table, I find myself missing more cut shots and losing position...I discovered I'm left eye dominant (right handed). How should I go about aligning my body so that I'm in line. do i cue left...
