I appreciate all of the responses guys - anybody who said that I lack a goal was absolutely spot on because that was 100% true. I haven't been "hungry" in a while - pretty much ever since I became a 9 and haven't been able to play many tournaments. Honestly, I didn't even realize this until...

Read through a lot of the replies. 1) I became a SL 9 because I learned from everyone - I had really good teachers and because I was so in love with pool I absorbed everything I could from everywhere I could. Lately though, being a SL 9 isn't amounting to much - if anything, I feel like I'm not...

Hey guys, So... pool just doesn't seem that fun to me anymore. When I'm at a table I mostly feel like I can't concentrate all that much and I end up just free-wheeling around the table for a little while. I haven't won a league match in like 7 weeks now (as a 9) mostly because I have some...

Hey y'all - I'm thinking I need a lesson to get my stroke in order. There's some minute and small difference in my stance/form that is affecting me when I'm down on a shot and I can't pinpoint what it is. There are times where I feel in my swing that I'm lined up properly and the ball is going...

JUST English or can I manipulate high and low as well?

I wouldn't try to break it out that way SINCE it's more natural to go 3-4 rails after contacting pocketing the 2 ball - much more natural and a lot more room for error since they're close to the rail making the "target" to hit much bigger.

Your option open up a lot if you're considering spending a maximum of 350. Low to mid 100 = Players, Outlaws, McDermott 200 = Pechauer, Cuetec, mid-tier McDermott (G series, etc.) High 200s to mid 350s = Lucasi (you can find great deals), lower end Jacoby, Joss, etc. Seyberts is having some...

Biado gonna make a comeback! :P

The transition I made was from having my right foot perpendicular to the shot line and planting it more parallel to the shot line BEFORE stepping into the shot and, like I said, we're only talking a 30 degree change. But, it's actually pretty magical because I have so much confidence when I'm...

Honestly, I think about my stroke fairly often when I play. If I miss a shot I almost always backtrack to my stroke and if I miss 3-4 shots the same way then I stop playing or hitting balls and immediately do some light drill work focused on honing in the stroke. It's interesting because some...

Assuming I'm reading this correctly I would play it: a) medium speed with inside English to come out 3 rails b) low outside to play a Z-shot. c) just a stun shot to make it and play the harder shot on the next ball. 2 diamonds away from the corner I'd probably play the z-shot, if the object...

Hey guys, Does anybody know how the hips affect your pool stroke? I play a lot of disc golf so I know your lower body plays a big role in finite upper body movement and I discovered (by accident) that my stroke gets a little bit sloppy in one foot position and is laser straight with another...

I really only play with soft tips - used to use Kamui super softs extensively but made the switch to Elkmasters and haven't looked back. The only issue I have with them is they tend to mushroom out when they're still fresh so you have to shape it a bit more often than other tips but once they...

Can anyone elaborate on this? :)

Freaking gorgeous cue!

I'm 23 and I don't think I would want a Balabushka or Szamboti cue, at least to play with. They're absolutely beautiful cues and I love multi-colored points but I'm super picky about what type of cue I actually play and hit balls with. So, for collecting I'd say "yes, would love to own one"...

When I was in Wisconsin for a year at school in Green Bay somebody made Willie a Facebook and he got relatively active. He would post about playing people for cheap sets while giving lessons and after seeing the amount of respect and admiration he got I decided to take him up on it a few times...

BUMP! Price drop to $350 via PayPal!

So guys, I've reached a point where I'm irritated with my stroke. At the moment, it's straight-ish but there's enough wiggle room that I'm not happy with it. I've looked at a ton of stuff online to try and find an answer but I'm pretty sure my shoulder is what's causing the problem. I've...

I'd probably play the 9 ball with low left to come out 3 rails for the 15 since it's your only problem ball. My other thought is if the 10 ball passes the 11 then start with the 10 ball and play the 15 next uptable. It looks (based on the photo) that you can roll the 10 in without bumping the...
