| articles | | TAP LAS VEGAS AND THE 2010 YOUTH POOLPLAYERS OF VEGAS
by Cynthia Chappell, January 20, 2010
They all started at a beginner level of a handicap 2 and have excelled from there. They have been coached and taught to play by their fellow pool players, which include parents, grandparents and other mentors and now they sometimes teach us. full article >> __________________________________________________________________________________ ENGLISH...IT'S NOT JUST A LANGUAGE
by Greg Kuhl, January 19, 2010 By another definition, English is a spinning motion given to a ball. It's quite obvious that is what happens when we play pool. I have played and studied the game for a long time. A lot of my time and energy was learning the dynamics of the spin on the pool balls, mostly the cue ball. This, to me, is the first understanding of learning to play position. Which is one thing that all great players have in common, the ability to position the cue ball for the next shot. full article >> |
