    Good hit? Free game-changing app all pool players should own.

    Definitely bad hit. The cueball should not have the energy to follow the 8 without hitting the 8 first altering the cueball path into the 15 and then rail.

    Bar rules question

    I never heard of defense or BIH until I was 22. It sure was a learning curve when I was recruited to an APA team. I prefer what we call tournament rules, call your pocket, BIH. No nit picking BS I grew up playing. Another odd rule is the open on break that some leagues and tourneys use. I don't...

    I have one like it. On mine the ferrule is screwed on a metal stud.

    Would Mosconi had been great if

    I agree with some of your points. He was already a great player but he got to study the best their was at the time. Jeter would have been just as good anywhere he played, he is/was just that good. He would not have been as successful in a smaller market.

    Would Mosconi had been great if

    I see no correlation... Jeter didn't play one on one with a world beater day after day! Few if any world champs become champs without playing the best to elevate their game. No one tells a new player to find the sucker and pound on him and you will be able to beat the best in 2 years...

    Lathes & beginners

    I got started by accident. I have an Atlas 10x36(54" bed) that my brother was going to scrap. It is not the ideal lathe but good enough for tips, ferrules and shaft cleanup.

    Handling nerves

    2 weeks ago I played an 8b tourney on 7' diamonds with simonis cloth. I had not played a tourney since '09. I have a valley BB but hardly use it so I was rusty and it showed in my first match. I had to resort to defense and not try to RUN into trouble. I played horribly but won with luck and...

    Simplified kicking systems, where are they?!?!

    I have been doing the parallel shift for 1 and 2 rail shots for years. Once you learn it you can just look at the shot without using a cue and make a hit on bar boxes. After I warm up, I always practice the 2 rail kicks to figure out how I need to address the CB.

    League players are strange people

    Jeff hit the nail on the head, only the best cheating team wins. It hurt my game when I started playing league, It is also too easy to be higher handicap than you should be because of the dumping. I just talked to friend the other day and he told me a 3 man apa handicapped tourney he was going...

    Mcdermott D series?

    I shot with a D11 for many years, tried a BlueGrass and went back the the D11. I did eventually trade the D11 for an early Dickey Neighbors cue with the 3/8-10 pin and really like how it plays. The D11 I had was the best looking cue I ever owned!

    What was the moment that got you involved in pool?

    My Father took me to an Aunt's basement, when I was around 10,and he let us knock balls around on their table. When I got to junior high I started playing in the local bowling alley on a little 6 footer and liked it. In the middle of my freshmen year of high school we moved to the country, 4...

    Is Earl Strickland Crazy or Extremely Passionate About This Sport???

    When you guys say he is not professional, what sport are you using as reference? Most all the popular sports have plenty of jaw harping, if that throws you off your game maybe you're not ready to be a pro... That said, I was lead, as a young player, to dislike him for his whining and antics...

    What side of the table to break from?

    I am a lefty and break from the right. I align the CB with the corner pocket and the 2nd ball and hit it med speed below center and don't have issues pocketing a ball on a BB. The table also effects the style break. I feel comfortable on right side since my body is away from the table with room...
