    Thanks for the Dr Dave video. I may try this before I get a lathe, but the question remains... Which lathe to purchase?

    Over-thinking and being Over-Techincal

    Very True! I totally agree! We 'technicians" strive to have the natural abilities that you big boys have. We (I) can't get there by feel alone. My game is totally enhanced by using known references such as the tangent line, and adjusting from there. I know that the natural players (or at...

    Over-thinking and being Over-Techincal

    When I watch Corey Deuel, Darrell Appleton or even Justin Bergman play bar box 8 ball, I don't see anything but a controlled game. They calculate the exact placement they want the cueball to be and they put it there.They go for calculated breakouts. There is no "letting go". They control the...

    Over-thinking and being Over-Techincal

    Players fast or slow need to establish benchmarks, such as being able to have the cue ball go down the tangent line at various speeds. You can do this through the HAMB method or in my opinion shorten the learning curve through drills. I know from drilling, that one half tip below the stun tip...

    8 Ball breaks

    I too play M8. Good league. I had one eight ball break at the tournament. I looked at the rack and saw that it was conducive to an eight ball break which I learned from Joe Tuckers Racking secrets. The balls were racking pretty tightly during the event so that was the only 8 ball break I made...

    Doubles Advice, Playing w/ a much stronger Player?

    I just played in a scotch doubles tournament yesterday and placed third out of a field of 32. Not that this makes me an expert or anything. But as the weaker player, let your doubles player know the type of shots that give you fits, and ask him to steer away from them. Almost always leave him...

    CTE Pro One Visual Sweep versus Manual Pivot

    Originally Posted by robsnotes4u View Post So let's try this again to see if there is an answer. What is the correlation between the mechanical pivot and the pro one sweep? How can every person's sweep equal a 1/2 tip pivot? The answer of course is in the DVD's and the support material Stan...

    Your chalk

    I have one of those chalkers too! I think they work great. Now if I had to guess, I'd guess the label less chalk inside was.... Blue Diamond. This is the first try at identifying label less chalk. Was I right?

    Reno Bar Box Chanpionship photo's

    Hey Mike, Love the Pictures! I especially love the sharpness, the color and the low light look! I love the in focus subject with the blurry back ground, however if you could somehow have the whole pool table sharp with the rest blurry, I think for me that would be a slight improvement. I...

    CTE plus other aiming system

    I am an avid CTE Pro One enthusiast but I do sometimes struggle with which visual I should use. I will go and look at Duckies contact point and sometimes I will even put the tip of my cue on the center of the ghost ball spot and pivot my cue to over the cue ball. This helps me confirm which set...

    Your Thoughts In A Pressure Situation

    I'm just a bar box 8-ball player. But when I'm faced with a 50-50 shot, no way am I shooting it. I can almost always come up with something that makes my opponent have to shoot a hard shot with lets say he's got a 20 percent chance of getting out. Make them shoot the tough shots. Keep the...
