After several weeks of trouble with the Microsoft Continuous loop download which completely crashed my computer I am back up and running.

The Pool Ability Test has been renamed Pool Quotient. It no longer conflicts with P.A.T. and their naming conventions.

The preliminary version of the test was submitted to several players and instructors for review and comment. I did learn that some of the sub-tests were derived from Bob Jewett's work. After discussing the issues with Bob, he has graciously, magnanimously, allowed me to use his Progressive Drill designs as part of the test.

Pocket Billiards Review and the Pool Quotient are now ready for prime time. I hope that many people will participate with the construction of this new free test. It can be used in many ways.

I will be adding more links to instructor?s home pages and other great pocket billiards sites. If you would like yours included please email or leave a note here.

I sincerely welcome all comments that will help to improve the test. Inflammatory comments are ignored.

Bump one time only.
I posted this last night and it has fallen many pages.
Perhaps some have not seen it.
 
Joe,

I look forward to giving this a try. Thank you so much for all you've put into this!

Joe, I wondered where you were!! I wll surely look into this, though I may not be able to participate as I'd like at present.
Thanks!!

Damn!!! The link won't work for me, nothing on you, it's a Charter problem. Had it since getting the new pc, and they know it's their problem.
 
Joe, it seems a little to easy until you get to number 5, Is there anyway you can have an advanced Test? say starting with 5-10 maybe? If youd like I can offer some suggestions..

THANKS!

Any and all suggestions are welcome. Currently I am thinking about an advanced test with kicks, jumps and a "knowledge" test as suggested by some people. The knowledge test will be multiple choice and based on what a an average player and a highly qualified player should know.

Currently PBR has received about 15 completed forms, some are re-tests. It will be a few months before I can publish norm tables with enough results to obsecure any possibility of determing who might have completed any test on any equipment.
