So, me and a friend is playing a friendly 5 ahead game. A guy sits down next to our table, asking if it's ok for him to watch. We say of course it's ok. He's minding his own bizniz but after I make a 10 ball he layes down some reality check comment on my game:

- Man, I can't figure out how you're making any balls with that poor stroke of yours. It's like you have this super confidence pocketing the balls for you, cause it can't be you're stroke.

He was not being mean, he was just honest like a 5 year old. My friend has a really smooth stroke, maybe that makes my stroke look stupid but anyway we had a good laugh at that unforseen reality check from a stranger.

This is AZ. You should work on your stroke because it is best practice. Your current stroke will break down under the heat. Make changes now to pay dividends in the future. And switch to an LD cue.

In five years, you might just reach the status you are today. Probably not.

Freddie <~~~ did I say the word "pay" in a pool thread???

Thanks,

but... the balls you do mis can go, "nah nah nah nahnah, your stroke stinks!" right in your face.

When they do, tell them, "It's not my stroke that stinks, it's my aim."

Then the ball you just missed will yell back, 'oh yeah, well on that last shot they both stunk'.

:wink:,
 
Imma tinkin' its really cool that you didn't get wired over what this guy said.

I'm in NY,..... if you say that with any hint of sarcasm you instantly have someone up in yer face.

I think when ya really loving the game, that pulls your best stroke out.
(ok, that didn't sound right, but i'll go with it) :o
you know,... when you can feel the felt; when your cue feels like an extension of your arm. Aim is perfect, you can slice the thinnest cut. You got speed down and can hit any bank ya want ! In short: DEADSTROKE, just makes ya :smile::smile:

ya'all know what I meant right?

Rick,
Are you talkin' to yer balls again ?!? :p
 
Yeah Jay,

I know what you mean.

But what I really want to know is what are doing with a picture of my wife?:wink:
 
Probably fishing for his own 5-ahead set with you. Maybe slightly less friendly.

Sorry, I'm basically retired.

Actually, no. She actually looks very much like the one I had to dumped to marry my wife.

But.... remember.... I married for 'heart' not looks.

Come to think of it, that pic kind of looks like my daughter with dyed hair.

If you're ever in New Orleans & you see a young woman that looks like that.....
stay away from her.:wink:

:thumbup:


Yup.


I might have said "It's amazing we can understand you with that lisp. Have you always talked that way? I know a good maxillofacial surgeon that could fix that...and your mouth wouldn't be crooked anymore either." :grin-square:

Funny how people will sart to wonder if they talk funny after dropping that on them. Nothing like real-world sharking (meaning outside pool). :grin:

:lol:
Doc, I talk just fine. (I was in semi ebonics/lazy typer mode) :p
Real-world sharking? I think I would have to know you in order to know if I am supposed to be "sharked." :grin-square:

Don't you need a real-world boat and a spear-gun for real world sharking ?? :scratchhead:
 
great to learn to laugh at the railbirds

The pool railbirds kinda fall in the middle about how you shoulda done it after an event. The short track race car railbirds were the absolute worst. Even when I won some would spend ten minutes telling me what I did wrong. When I lost they would tell me what I needed to do, never mind that I just got beaten by a better car and driver. Just had a thought, I can't remember the railbirds critisizing anything about how I shot competition pistol. A smoking .45 in your hand might be what is needed to keep them quiet! :thumbup::thumbup:

When you have an ugly stroke and play funny patterns and still run out , most of your opponents will tell you how bad you play after you bust them.
Winning the money ....great, having them tell you the next time they will spot you....priceless.

Mike Davis would keep me broke for life just based on the look of his stroke. I got NO CHANCE at all to beat him, he is one hell of a player, but man his stroke isnt all that pretty, but it sure does work. Dont sweat the small stuff, I seen guys with pretty strokes dog it when it matters. thats worse than having a bad stroke that works all the time. i wish I could play like Mike Davis-hell, I'd wear a tu-tu if thats what it took to play like him.


best
eric :)
