    Hey Philadelphia...Know Him? Call Phila police.. 911

    Nice message. Don't recognize the guy. Haven't been to Bluegrass in a couple of years. I know plenty of guys who are regulars there. Maybe they'll see this.

    Gold Crown 7 Revealed

    I ralise that my GC III is nothing like the VII but the return rails were removed, taken apart and set aside, when my drop pockets were installed. Perhaps the return rails are inside of the table on the GC7 instead of underneath the rails.

    Gold Crown 7 Revealed

    Forgotten ball in a negative pocket? Pay attention! I know. After 4 hours of one pocket I can easily make a free shot beautifully into my opponents pocket. He'll say that that is his pocket. I usually say, " time to put the old man to bed." I've done it, you've done it, we've all done it...

    A good table mechanic will know where to resource them.

    Gold Crown 7 Revealed

    I play on Diamonds nearly every day. I have a very tight GC III in my basement and grew up on GC'S. Love them both. I'm probably wrong but the GC plays more solid to my way of thinking. Love them both, both premier tables. Got my GC with a box and converted it to a drop pocket. Getting my steps...

    Billiards Glasses

    They worked perfectly for me. Only wore them for pool. Put them in before I left for the poolroom otherwise wore my glasses. Contacts were a tool and they worked great. Of course new lenses after Cataract surgery worked better. No need for Contacts anymore. No billiard glasses either. From what...

    Get contacts. Problem solved. Trust me. Been there. I know, you don't like putting your fingers in your eyes. Persevere. You'll get used to it and be glad you did. You can get Dailys, weekley, biweeklys, monthlys. Thank me later.

    Agreed. Sunglasses while driving all of the time now. Medical miracle when it comes to pool. Cut the shit out of that ball all of the way up the long rail.

    Contacts worked perfectly for me. I had them prescibed for distance. I have an astigmatism and they worked well for years. I had cataract surgery a few months ago. Brand new lenses. Pretty close to 20/20 now.

    Why do you play this game?

    The poolroom is a playground.

    Why do you play this game?

    Just ponied up $325 to play in a 730 and under 10 ball tournament on beautiful 9 foot Diamonds. Open tournament. No handicap. Double elimination. Why did I do that? To test myself. At around 5am the 2 guys that were left took a split. Both were 729 fargos. Interesting day. Caught up with a lot...

    Quickest way to recognize what fraction the hit is?

    Okay. Whatever you do for you is right.

    Quickest way to recognize what fraction the hit is?

    Okay. All I'm saying is you be you in your progression through the game. I hope it serves you well. I have a different approach if that's okay with you.

    Quickest way to recognize what fraction the hit is?

    Okay You said it not me. Anal. What I said is that we complicate the game. The more you have floating around in your head the more you have to control on every shot and in your PSR. I prefer to simplify. You be you and good on you.

    Quickest way to recognize what fraction the hit is?

    Sounds like we're in the aiming forum. Maybe we are. Like I said, for me at least, all that I look for is the spot on the object ball furthest away from the pocket. Throw comes natural even. It's what happens after hitting a million balls. Whatever you want to visualize then god bless you. I try...

    Great. Cue ball? Now you're getting complicated. I keep it simple stupid.

    Quickest way to recognize what fraction the hit is?

    Not really. As I said in an earlier post, I look for the spot on the object ball furthest away from the pocket. Perhaps I do not understand aiming with a ghost ball but I concentrate, visualize on a spot on the object ball. I don't imagine a ghost ball at all.

    Quickest way to recognize what fraction the hit is?

    Call me simplistic if you like. Allison Fisher said it best and that's the way I aim too. Find the spot on the object ball furthest away from the pocket. That's where you hit it. KISS, keep it simple stupid. Sometimes we make the game harder on ourselves by complicating it by over thinking.
