    Cue Accuracy

    I've got access to 3 shafts for my poison cue (basically predator) I have a Z2, 314-2 and the Venom Shaft. The larger the diameter of your tip for the 314 & Venom shaft means that you have a larger striking point/surface of your tip making contact with the cue ball. This means that you have a...

    I suppose another good thing about teaching others is that if I can promote 9-Ball/10-Ball, 1 Pocket enough to generate more interest, we may be in for a good chance to set up an American Pool League here in Perth. It's definately picked up quite alot since I started working there, and I know...

    Yes, exactly right, and going in to almost that exact profession - but for teeth - we have all these lectures about ethical practice and so on. That's why I was in a bit of a pickle? Would it be right to charge for lessons even though I am not an instructor? But at the same time, I have other...

    Side pocket drills?

    This picture is sourced from http://gladiators-usa.com/Pool-Sport%20-%20Object-Ball%20Shot-Target-Geometry%2010-25-07.jpg Doctor Dave also has another good one. http://billiards.colostate.edu/ I just used the one above, because someone made a post about that website a few minutes ago...

    Aramith Standard vs Premium pool ball set

    As long as the balls aren't low grade polyacryllic surfaces. If youre worried about the weight of the balls, the Aramith TV Pro Cup set are slightly lighter than either of those 2 Aramith sets. But they are stupidly expensive. Here's the Aramith Heirachy Premier (Turquoise/Green Box) > Premium...

    Poison cues anybody play with one?

    I've got a VX 2.1, and a AR2 with Z2. I've used a whole bunch of different cues, but 90% had predator shafts. Having used house cues for most of my life, all I really care about is the tip, and the playing shaft. The rest is just fancy schmancy eye candy. I got my friend a Bolt 4, and used it...

    Side pocket drills?

    So when you have a shot like this, do you usually hit the jaw of the pocket marked A, or B? You can see that if you aim at the back, you will almost always certainly clip the edge of the Jaw B. If you're hitting Jaw A and bouncing IN towards the pocket and coming back out, then it's...

    Side pocket drills?

    Where abouts are you aiming on the side pocket? If you're hitting the jaw that is closest to you, which I think you from what you explained then I assume you're aiming at the back of the pocket. Try aiming at the front of the pocket, and slightly towards the jaw to the rear. If you find that the...

    Dear AZBilliards Moderators, Sorry

    Thank you! :) From what I've learned travelling around Australia, and playing pool, Pool is a universal language. I've met all sorts of people, good, bad, mentors, role models, and just plain wierdos. :) But what's great is, going somewhere, where they speak a totally different language than...

    Last Resort - Can an Amateur Teach: An Amateur Instructor's Dilema (A Story to Share)

    To give an idea of where I'd like them to be: I'd like for them to be able to place all 15 balls down one corner, and shoot a ball at a time, down to the other corner, without having to take a practice stroke, and be able to do it without looking. Because as it is - going to use aircraft...
