Default pool

anyone here that is really good at pool? ive been playing a lot of pool during summer and i want to get really serious. such as i want to learn how to do some amazing trick shots. i already know how to do jump shots but im practicing on actually hitting the balls when i jump the cue. what are the benefits from using a stick that weighs 20 oz? i prefer 19 oz because i get amazing control with them. pool is so much ****ing fun and i hope there are some good players here.

You're branded to that image. It's going to stick for a long while.

Stop both of you! Dont you see that this endless fighting wont solve anything. The only way you fix this is in a long and determine session of passionate buttsecks.

GO!

Anyway the real person responsible for "branding" you with that image mate is gantznaught...

So you would have to take it up with him.

I use the heavier wieght sticks to break at the beginging, and I went down and got a pretty nice carbon fibre stick for like 20 bucks at Wal Mart.

I don't like carbon fiber ones, they just feel wrong. You can't compare a predator shaft with a carbon fiber ;)

I'm unbelievably good at pool, I have total control of english with the cue, I use fine tip. Bank, rails, jump shots, can do em all with ease, placed first in a couple tournaments around here, won 200$

I myself prefer snooker, bigger table and alot more fun, but 8 ball can be fun to, block your opponent at every shot and watch him flip out haha
