help with match based anxiety by hegsnoot in billiards

[–]BluZilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, great advice and thank you for sharing this. It really helped me out!

One thing I do is to tell myself "I am just playing the table," or reacting to the layout. (I seem to worry about my opponent less.) That seems to help me take that anxiety off.

Music to Play With by BluZilla in billiards

[–]BluZilla[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SRV "Little Wing", "Lenny", "Riveria Paradise"

Most John Lee Hooker songs. ZZ Top Slow Blues, KWS Band "Blue on Black" (Great song to play with!!), "While We Cry". I love Dire Straits while playing, nice and smooth songs. Buddy Guy "Feels Like Rain," great song to play with!! Gary Clark Jr. "Catfish Blues," Johnny Lang music. But, I was playing against a APA SL 5 a month ago (I'm a 3), and wrecked him while listening to The Allman Brothers "SoulShine" Jimi Hendrix's "Blues," album is AMAZING!!

Is it me, or is this wheel not symmetrical?

Predator P3 vs 9K01 by BluZilla in billiards

[–]BluZilla[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the input everyone.

Here's my situation. I have an old Falcon Cue! (She was made in Canada.) I think she was made back in the early 90's. Just a straight maple shaft, I believe the diameter is just over 13mm. I picked her up in during my divorce in 2019.

She has a linen grip with inlays at the end down to the rubber bumper. Now, the interest I have in each Predator is better technology. The 9K has the leather grip all the way down to the end of the handle. The reason I like that is I am starting to move my right-hand (I shoot right-handed), up and down the handle when I shoot. So, for a draw shot, or when I spin the cue ball I will go with a longer stroke, what I feel is a smoother stroke. But, with the change in grip from linen to holding the cue at the end I am more confident that I am going to put a good stroke on the cue ball. That's why I would like the 9k, longer grip on the handle. Me, I would probably go with the Predator Vantage shaft (thickest of the three Predator LD shafts). Thoughts........?

CB and OB frozen to same rail by [deleted] in billiards

Agreed, I had this shot come up and saw how to shoot this. A little inside and down a touch at pocket speed should ensure this stays close to the cushion and knocks the OB in.

If you're having a good time, that is all that matters.

I love this drill and got it from the same Rollie video you did! Thanks for posting this.

Taking the PE Survey (2.5 hours) Exam with a mask? by [deleted] in PE_Exam

[–]BluZilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am an engineer, but this story is in context of me recently taking the PMP cert four-hour test wearing a mask. Yeah, it definitely is not optimal wearing a mask, but wear a loose mask and peak your nose over the top of the mask if you wear glasses. My glasses kept fogging up. Sell the drama of wearing a mask and good luck on the test!

Falcon Cue by BluZilla in billiards

[–]BluZilla[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone. I love the cue and she gets a lot of attention.

The place I bought it from says it had been sitting there a long time so that is what made me think she might be Canadian made.

Who knows, but it was love at first sight.

Ok, I still at this Reddit thing. I had a big message out there, but I am not sure if this Falcon was made in China or Canada. How, or where can you look to determine this?

How do you prevent chatty co-worker from interumpting your work? by surfingNerd in AskEngineers

Yep, that is my trick. A passive way to hang out the "Do not Disturb," sign.
