The nicest thing about AZ?
If you read long enough, someone will post everything you should have thought about.
Great post, sir. ( JAM, should I capitalize 'sir'?)

I finally got the tree to stand alone the other day......
...so I embarrassed everyone by standing by the tree and singing
a song I used to do at concerts when I was a kid.

..came out the other side of puberty with a voice like a bull frog...:o

Merry Christmas, everyone
 
Hey, did anybody notice the AZB logo up at the top left is Christmas ornaments? :grin:

Thank you Jam for a wonderful Christmas thread. You are a valuable member of the AZ Billiard community! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my friends (and foes :smile:) on here. I PROMISE you "More Pool Wars" will be here in 2014. That's my New Year's resolution to you. Now if I can just get this left handed thing down I'll be all right. :rolleyes:

Just a little Christmas tip to my friend Toupee. I've been reading that you're trying to play left-handed. I turned it around when I couldn't get no games right-handed, as you know.

The key thing to playing opposited-handed, starting out, instead of trying to grip the cuestick with your bridge hand and your fingers, lighten up on both grips. That means loosen them and shoot balls accordingly. Next, what you want to try to do is to develop the strength in both your fingers and your grip hand, but do it gradually. The hardest shots to make are the longer straight-ins with the object ball say about 4 feet away and you got to hit them perfect, but you can't do that until you gather the strength. Also, bend your knees a little bit more than usual.

Practice with shorter shots straight in, then a little off angle. It's easier to make the shots with a little off angle, because you can follow the ball a lot, but if you can get to where you can start drawing it, with a little bit of finesse, then you're in business.

So remember bend your knees a little more, loosen the grips on both the bridge hand and the hand where you hold the cue, gradually tighten them up as you go, and you'll soon have, hopefully, the tightness you need to make these shots successfully.

Merry Christmas, Jay, and Happy New Year. Hopefully, the pool wars will crank up in 2014. Your friend, Keith.

You are one of my gurus.

Some people just aren't ambidextrous, Keith.
I tried for 3 months when I was 21....made ALL my games shooting south-paw.
I quit when I had a long straight stop shot....the back-spin grabbed beautifully.....
...and the cue-ball came to rest....a foot short of the object-ball...:angry:

I showed a profit in my 'sinister' experiment, though.
If you can't make a good game, your speed doesn't matter.
