Hello

[crappiecrazy]

Hello,
I am new. I have the pool bug bad! I would like to post some pictures and get some help on different pool scenarios. Probably the wrong word but anyway I hope you know what I mean. What is the best way to post these pictures? Thanks!

welcome aboard...use an image hosting site and put the direct image link between these tags

You need to upload the pics to a website like imageshack.com, etc. Then copy the "Direct" web link (url). In your post click the "picture" icon (yellowish with a mountain and sun). That will bring up a dialog box where you paste the link. When you're done you can check it by clicking on Review Post.

BTW, pool is a great activity when you can't go crappie fishing. We ate crappie dinners at least twice a week this summer...and that was a slow season.

Welcome to the forum!

What kind of cue do you use? Have you considered using a Valley?

You should change your tip, too. :grin-devilish:

I did not realize that the photo was so poor.I can't even tell what balls they are. I will do better next time. How do you get position on the ball next to the short rail after cutting the ball in the corner pocket?

It depends. Are they the last two balls on the table? If so, I'd recommend cutting the 8 with a little inside and taking the cut on the 7. Any other questions?

 

[bdorman]

High-left english will bring you back to the rail below the first diamond. From there it's an easy cut shot to pocket the seven in the corner.

Mike Page of Fargo Billiards has a good 2-part video on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2J0I6IgLlo8&noredirect=1

There are many others.

Thanks, I have to head to town for a meeting. I will stop by and give it a try tonight. I thought I tried just about everything but I may have missed top left English.

Hi & welcome :smile:

I tried and tried the high left English and could not get any closer that the 2nd diamond.

You need a medium-soft, smooth stroke with lots of high left to get to where you want.
You could also try hitting firm with right spin just below center to go around three rails to get on the other side of the next ball.

I tried and tried the high left English and could not get any closer that the 2nd diamond.

What's wrong with that?

 

[crappiecrazy]

Thanks everyone. I worked with the high left as far as I could go and got a decent shot.
