    The Power of the Atom.......

    I have been told that if you spit in your opponent's chalk it will prevent them and you from breathing dangerous chalk dust. Be sure to help protect your opponent the next time you play. He will appreciate it.

    I watched a live stream of an 800 Fargo rate player, competing in a $20 weekly tournament, recently.

    $20 is a good deal for that if it includes 90 minutes of table time.

    Who are the greatest players ever who were not big gamblers?

    Back in the day, most of the top players you ran across were gamblers of some sort, even it it was only for small stakes. Many of them would not play you for funsies. In order to learn from them through competing, you had to gamble with them. I worked in a old-school pool hall as a kid and...

    I watched a live stream of an 800 Fargo rate player, competing in a $20 weekly tournament, recently.

    I am not playing in any tournament that is 9-ball, race to 2. It's a crap shoot, especially with handicaps.

    Like I said above. CS = Competition Sports. Made by Adam, but without the Adam logo...unbranded. CS made a Hall of Fame line. Originally made in the Adam factory in Japan. Later made in China and I don't know if Adam has anything to do with them anymore. LOTS of Chinese FAKE "Adam" cues...

    How do you find your opponent's weakness?

    This is one of the reasons old-school gamblers preferred two-shot rollout or pushout 9-ball to the one-foul BIH crap that is played now. After a few games you could get an idea of which shots they would take or pass back after rolling out to certain places or shots on the table.

    If you are not winning, you need to find the weakness in YOUR game.

    What beginner pool tip do you wish you learned sooner?

    If you are a good player and have the ability to run multiple racks, the only thing you need to concentrate on is keeping the same mental state that you had while running racks. Your fundamentals are already ok.

    What beginner pool tip do you wish you learned sooner?

    A good practice routine to teach you tight control of the cue ball is to place all 15 balls scattered around the table but not too close to the rails. Shoot any ball you want but you have to make all 15 without the cue ball touching another ball or any rail. The only balls that can move during...

    Discussion: Focusing on the cue ball compared to other sports

    If you have lined up properly, are over the table, and see that you have the cue ball and object ball target in alignment, your target becomes the cue ball and ensuring it travels the LINE. I am sure most people who are looking at the cue ball last are also seeing the object ball in the...

    What happened to the old Predator Cues designs? Ikon, Throne, Panthera, Maestro

    The new neon colored cues look like CRAP if you ask me. They may play good, but they don't look good.

    Posting about 1 foot on the floor on FB

    I don't think the problem is with both feet in the air, as in breaking, but with people laying over or crawling on the table to make a shot without having one foot on the floor.

    To Becue or not to Becue? That is the question.
