The Ladies have POOR foot work
Addressing the table with "your feet up against each other and kind of "squatting" at the knees? I don't know if it's because they are wearing high heels, skirts, or if she just want's to keep her book closed? Then why are U dressing like that? I don't a wear Jock Strap to play pool.
Is that unique to the RP?

I know this guy that darts his tongue in and out of his mouth when he's down on a shot.
There is another guy that hums
I ran with Danny Medina for years and years and did the toungue datrting thing for ages andit bothered him. Most thought he was wired on coke. It just became a hbit he could not break. He tried hynotist and that just made thing worse and complicated.
Ionce paid a firl $20,00 to tell himit was sexy But he saw through that pretty fast and I stoppd that.
My buddy is adamant that 3 is the perfect number of chalks. I believe it's 2. So we end up
with lots of chalk shuffling. I'll quietly remove one and place it on a neighboring table.
He quietly brings it back maybe 2 innings later.
Does anyone else know a cue spiral-er?
I know a guy who, on each warmup swing, uses his back fingertips to rotate the cue a little.
Backswing, rotate, forward.
Backswing, rotate, forward.
Backswing, rotate, forward.
I know he's finally firing when he goes back without twirling the damn thing.
Another guy in our league takes the smallest warmup swings humanly possible.
Little jerky 1-inch jabs. dit.dit.dit.dit.dit. But it doesn't seem to hurt his game any.
I used to know a little 5 foot dude who, on any force-follow shot, would exaggerate his followthrough
and then lunge his whole body forward after the hit, apparently hoping to bend the cue ball further.

This made my day. Thanks. :thumbup:
After watching a Chris Bartrum match (prob a TAR) I now always have to have the 2 chalks together on the rail. This is only if Im gambling, if im just playing for fun or for drinks in a bar, I don't give a shit where they are.
That was good, I really like those cues he pulled from the rack, when he grabbed the first I didn't get good look at and I thought to myself "that didn't look very straight" then it comes back to view and you can see how bad it is.
Ok. I'll admit it. I'm a chalk-herder.
I go around and pick up every piece of chalk that's on the table and line them up somewhere way out of the vision of my shot. It also gives me an extra 2-3 seconds to take a deep breath and look at the table. An extra moment to study the lay-out, if you will. But, I'm moving when I do it.
I carry my own chalk, btw. I take it off the table 99% of the time, because it looks different than everyone else's and I don't want it to be a distraction to them.
But, yea, I'm a herder. I DO leave it on the table, however. I'm not one of those sharkers that will take all the chalk off the table and then the opponent shoots 3-4 times, without chalking, and then has to look around and wonder where everything went.
I just put them in a neat line for them somewhere on a rail.
Same here, I gotta put all the chalks together, then I have to move them out of my way to shoot. I'm a dork.
One more thing, it just drives me crazy when guys turn the chalk upside down and tap it on the rail. Why do they think they need to try to empty the dust out of the hole? I have went so far as to take my towel and clean off the rails before I play after one of these less than genius types during league.
A guy I play with has an OCD where he HAS to touch every chalk on the table as well as turn every 1 upside down and use every piece to chalk with b4 he shoots (sometimes multiple times). Drives me nuts.:speechless:
LMAO!!!!....I couldn't imagine trying to play pool with someone like that! What a crack up!
I know a guy that had turrets syndrome. his words where phuck and nigger. You would be down on a shout and all of a sudden he would start yelling these words over and over and many black people had to be explained his disease or he would be dead today. I am not a racist and I don't like hearing it from white or black people.

Dragging your cue tip around the table
I don't think the Pro's do this, but I've seen lot's of Am's do it. Make a shot...leave the cue to tip on the table, drag it around to the next shot in grand fashion, has anyone else seen this?
