I was doing that so I can practice my 8 ball break at the same time.

Ok, thanks I will try the chalk tonight or tommorow.

Hey, I just found out I have been playing on 9 ft tables these past two weeks. I thought I was playing on 8 ft tables this whole time. No wonder the 7ft bar boxes looked so small. I found out I was on 9 ft tables, when they had a in house league at the pool hall, and was told that the 4x8 in the...

I am not looking to make any money, I just want to win some of my league matches. I am not looking to spend 40 hours at the pool hall. I just fiqure instead of just lying around at home for 3 or 4 hours in the evening, I might as well go practice pool. I understand that they have some people...

Yea, the PLAY and HIT is a nice thing to know. I am good for $5 sets. There is one pool hall that has a 8 ball tournament on tuesdays at 7:30pm not sure off the table size, thinking either 7ft or 8 ft, and one pool hall that has free 9 ball tournaments on tuesdays at 8:00pm with about 60...

Would playing a few matches of 9 ball every now and than help my 8 ball game. I plan to start playing on a 9 ball league either next session or the session after also.

I was agreeing that i know i am at least a thousand hours away. It's all good, I know i am not that good of a player. I hope to play for the next 50 or 60 years though.

I have only been to the place on week days, from about 6pm to 10pm. I want to go they during the day one time and see what it's like in there. I hope to be able to go there during the day this weekend.

yea, i am millions of hours from becoming a threat. I might get luckey in 1 out of 50 games, but thats about it.

They have a pretty nice bartender there that handles both the tables and the bar when the owner is not there. She is probably late 20s early 30s, and i think she plays on some pool teams too, would think i could trust her to match me up. I think she recognizes me now, because normally takes my...

Yea, i don't know about just any counter man matching me up for money games, but for just free friendly games i don't really care if i get beat everytime. Although it would be nice to actually find someone willing to actually teach me some stuff, instead of just running out on me every game.

Ok, i think the owner of the place would be the guy to match me up. He seems really friendly, he is just always running around when he is there and not playing.

Yea, that would do it, but i might as well just give them the money and not even play. I hope to be that good one day though.

Yea, even if the guy just did drills with me. Like set the shots up while i shoot, than i set them up for him.

Ok, never thought of that. I was just thinking that the people playing just found someone willing to play with them and made matches. I would be willing to play for like $1 or $2 a game, but i am more just looking for some more table time to improve my game. The place has a bartender that is...

Hey, I am new at going to the pool hall to play pool. I have been going one or twice a week and practicing. I have one team mate from my apa team that comes with me, but he plays for 1 or 2 hours max and is ready to go. I will stay and practice by myself for 1 or 2 more hours. What I am...

I really do see where these are test, and not really training, I plan on getting my own table hopefully within 6 months. I think I am going to get a 9 foot table. Once I have my own table, I will be a able to take my time, and lay out shots and drills on my table do them. One of my main problems...

Thanks, I will try this. I like how it has the different levels of skill. I will start at the beginner level and i wait till I score 120 three in a row times before I move up. I play on one apa 8 ball team, and I try to practice one or two other days. I paid for a month of unlimited pool table...

Hey, I played a few racks of 15 balls again last night. I am now down to 25 to 27 shots now instead of 30 to 32 shots. So, that's a little improvement.

Hey, I looked at these teachers' websites, and Randy G out of Dallas, TX is the closest to me. He had on his site, his 2010 prices, the two day beginner class is $399, and his three day Intermediate is $695. His school is about a 8 hour drive, 513 miles, from my house. I figure it would be about...
