The once-a-year thread club

[mikepage]

Cornerman Fred just preemptively started a thread on an issue that comes up once a year like clockwork: push shots/double hits.

I thought I'd clear out the rest.

** Does squirt really matter?

yes

** Does spending >$300 for a cue make you play better?

no.

**Is it wrong to hide your speed when gambling?

yes.

**Is 9-ball easier than 8-ball?

yes.

**Do men inherently play better than women?

no

**What's the best recent pool movie?

What's the warmest city in Siberia?

**What are the best instructional book(s)?

anything by Byrne

**How many angles are there in pool?

three

** Was the last answer honest?

No, but those of us in the know aren't going to divulge how many angles there really are.

** Does squirt really matter?

No, how you manage it does.

** Does spending >$300 for a cue make you play better?

no.

Yes, if it adds a level of confidence for you

**Is it wrong to hide your speed when gambling?

yes.

No, if you are playing for a lot of money.

**Is 9-ball easier than 8-ball?

yes.

no, if you play 8 ball more often

**Do men inherently play better than women?

no

absolutley not, but stats indicate otherwise. NEED MORE WOMEN TO PLAY TO OFFSET STATS.

**How many angles are there in pool?

three

answer is one. There exixts a straight shot and the rest are all angle shots.

Just fooling, but it would be a nice advanced training guide to organize and discuss these plus more. I think with the many here and I include Fred, Colin, definitely Randyg,....(to many others to mention) it is a great start.
