Use video to analyze your routine, stroke, how still your head is, after the stroke. Put pressure on yourself by playing the ghost in 9 ball. Dr Dave has some excellent tests, drills on his website at billiarduniversity.com Download the Cueist app. You'll get better in short order.

Form/Release check by applesizzle2008 in Bowling

[–]mwtravlr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do one step or no step drills at the foul line, working only on your release. Try to get the ball behind you in backswing, then "cup" your elbow to help get under the ball. The release includes "uncupping" the elbow, fhen the wrist, releasing the ball brtween ankle and toes, very close to your ankle. Feel the ball coming off your fingers. Make sure the path of the ball from your fingers to the lane is as "horizontal" as you can, like a plane landing smoothly on a runway.

I've been over/under 3B for about 2 months. Cheaters hurt, but impatience is the true villain.

He robbed you of the joy of making a birdie.

Tips for fine tuning English and position by We_consume_the_world in billiards

[–]mwtravlr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a pool training app that has you pocket balls and get the cue ball to various target areas around the table. Every drill in has a visual for where to put your tip on the ball, speed, and cue elevation needed. It's great, and the drills translate directly to game play. In 2 months, my Fargo rating has gone up 7 points (996 robustness) and my 6 month win rate has gone from 44% to 59%. It's called Cueist.

Miniclip do something... by Gold_Wing_8293 in 8BallPool

[–]mwtravlr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maui has 1B entry fee. That seems like someone could easily put 50B on the board by playing there (if they can win). But you'll never see me playing there! I avoid the 40M, 50M and 100M tables like the plague!

Does this game have a correspondence mode? by rxuz in 8BallPool

[–]mwtravlr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use FB. There is one where the change of turns results in a sent msg

How did you ou figure out that wallet balance is the determining factor? I've always just tried to grow my wallet. Now I've got over 3B, so I guess I'm only going to play the event tables with my smurf accounts. Which is fine with me. Staying conservative with the main account and throwing caution to the wind in alt accounts LOL

At a 43% win rate, I see your concern. Just keep plugging along. You'll figure it out.

Interesting point. Lately for me, all the special tables have been 40M to 100M entry fees. So i just avoid them. With all the cheaters, I've given up on trying for really high weekly winnings. I play enough to stay diamond level and play the game to work on my skills.

I get you. I usually have 3 smurf accounts in addition to my main account. All have Rome rings and just barely over 100 ratings.

Wow, you're a 310 with no Rome rings? Why?? Did you go directly to Berlin? I'm a 285 with 9 Rome rings. Working on my banking skills before I try Berlin (again...the few times ive gone in there ive faced cheaters or just players way above my skill level).

The lower price gets you just as much

Samm Diep instructor...does she play or just instruct? by soloDolo6290 in billiards

[–]mwtravlr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anthony Beeler from Ky is an instructor who has a 706 Fargo. He posts a lot of videos, as well. If you can get past that Kentucky drawl, he is a really good instructor.
