Marty, I cruise by once in a while. Ricks doing fine as far as I know (haven't seen him for a while)and owns a bar now.

Yes the trend would be as you say. IMO most higher rated players know...

I don't think my brain has ever been that finely honed. LOL
Hi Marty, To answer, I say if you play as much as I think you play it should not be a problem. I imagine you still play a fair amount of...

BB, this shot like the first one shown is a matter of how full you hit the O/B. This one the O/B can easily be 6" away from the side and still get it to hook around and follow down into the corner. I...

You should consider slipstick. Reviews say this product works very well. I don't use it because my hands stay dry.

Play some one pocket. Lots of safety play is standard fare. If your weak in that area you'll get creamed.

I won't be there and haven't seen or spoke with Rick for some time. I canceled my plans when someone let the reservation at the Riv go.

Updates, not as we know them. All I've ever seen is results posted near the end or at the end of the tourney. Good luck in Vegas to you and SPetty.

Dee, I've read they are on the soft side. Personally I've never used one. However according to some vivid imaginations on AZB they put tons of english on the ball.LOL Personally I've never used over...

The way this shot is set up it makes for a very large target. Variations of this shot are used during game situations. As Bob noted, a follow stroke does the opposite, it lengthens the angle. Both...

Ball in hand, 9 on the foot spot.

Well I'm all in Dee, cause, I don't get it either. Of course I...

I'm sure your right Bob. However there must some gearing effect with the c/b pinching the o/b against the rail just the right amount. As you said its not as thin as one would think.

Low inside could be a good option. I wasn't clear on the exact layout, a wei could have helped. Thing is though, get the diagram off a balls width and your answer can be wrong. If its not up close...

Sorry Dave, I'm not trying to give you a hard time. It appears I was but its just the way I view certain aspects of the game. At any rate my vote was for = any player at any level would be just as...

I haven't shot the shot but it appears it could be a double kiss back. May not be but where the c/b contacts the second rail would be a give away. Where does the c/b contact the second rail on a make...

You have to take what the table gives you. Fast tables need a lot more finesse. If you can't handle such then you have to go extra rails. The trick is, is knowing the easy/best route to come into the...

There could be convincing arguments pro and con for every answer in this poll. In the grand scheme of things all we have here is a meaningless poll. Does it really make a difference what others...

I've never heard of Ducott glasses. I think what they meant to suggest was Decot. I have a pair and although better than most I was never able to adapt. I am a stand up player unlike you with your...

It looks good Dave. The diagrams are clear as well which really helps the visual aspect. Years ago when I started playing there was very little in the way of illustrations. I only had one book and...
