If the pool "tall foreheads" were smart, then they would promote 8-ball. Walk into any bar, where 90% of the pool in North America is played, and you will see 8-ball. Why is pool on TV all 9-ball? The average player doesn't comprehend. Until we get this right, pool will never get proper respect...

All you got is your word and your balls. Don't break 'em for nobody... Cheers. Now get the "measle" cue ball. I got one and love it...

level your table...

I've never much liked his stroke, way too much dipsy doodle for me. One thing is for sure though, it works big time... :) I also admire how loose his grip hand is.

Just MHO, but I would't quit any reasonable day job to play pool for a living. Its simply not taken seriously enough in North America. In reality, most who say they play for a living are struggling after they pay what it takes to make what they tell you they earn... If you were in the UK and...

Tell him to lie down until he feels better. Just kidding, I agree with Rodd

Yup, totally. It's you against the table, not you against your opponent.

Hi Jeff. I think we're in a new era of communication, that's all. Time is money, so people are choosing to write as they speak. Penmanship and prescision have been replaced with expediency. In today's world, there's more communication via email, than through formal letter. I hope you agree...

Momma, don't let your kids grow up to be pool players. Sad, but true.

Careful friend, you don't have enough room for a Snooker table, nor do you want one. Forget it, regardless of the political implications. While Steve Davis, Stephen Hendry, Ronnie O' and a few others have made a pile of money at Snooker, its simply not a game that will ever again have any...

That's a boor move by your apponent and the sign of a real bad sport. I remember in my bar pool days of people putting the wager on the rail before I shot the last ball. I simply grabbed the money and said "thanks", knowing he fully expected me to try the last shot. Don't play into that game...

Good for you, you have a table that very few have - one that someday I would like to own. Just like an Italian suit that you could spend $3000 on, a bad fit will make you look like you bought it at Home Depot :eek: . The Simonas is cheap, relative to the investment in the table. Buy the new...

Well, they were apparently determined illegal for this year's WPC, so I don't think their use would be up for consideration. I can't imagine that many vendors are going to start making them... Earl's were obviously "hand made". It looked like modified toilet paper tubes with hockey or duct tape...

With all respect to Alex, he can either be a small fish in a big pond, or a big fish in a smaller pond. He seems to have chosen to be a big fish and rightly so! In that regard, I think it is appropriate that he represent his native country. Unfortunately, Billiards of any sort in Canada gets...

"I hooked him so bad he couldn'nt even find the cue ball."

- Greenleaf becuase of his legend. I'm too young to have seen him play. but the books I have read equate him to the second coming... - Mosconi for his notoriety, his technical success in "The Hustler" and his astronomical, record high run in straight pool. - Steve Davis, because he is current...

Your handle suggests you are silent, but you're anything but that regarding FL. I've said before and I will again, I don't think you know much at all about this game. Real pool players are different people and most of them that I've come across have large egos - deal with it. Thanks.

Wow, I've never seen a guy bend both knees and be effective. Too unstable. I'd rather see him higher up over the cue with a stable stance. The Miz (I realize not as tall) , I think may be an example.

Your quote :"Why do you deserve your own section of this forum?" Like this is the Augusta Golf Club and you are one of the directors or something? Please man, this an open, free forum - let the "market", ie supply and demand dictate what sections are appropriate.

The best payer in my town once told me that the guy who wins is the guy who's spent the most time at the table. Hit balls, hit balls, hit balls. In saying that, I'm assuming your fundamentals - bridge, stance and stroke are correct. If not, then read books or get a proper mentor. Don't learn...
