This glossary will put us on par on my terms so you can adapt them for your own and get your aim in gear!

I introduce key concepts within such as cue ball point and ball numbers, ball edges and cling.

I've written extensively on aiming in pool and billiards, especially the past two years--but not enough. I'm opening a new aim primer today, a manual of how to aim, so that you understand what playing professionals have in their toolbelt. How would six or seven different pros aim the same shot?

Read on with me this month, and discover the answers for yourself. Try all the aim methods and find the one(s) that work best for you.

Drill, baby, drill, for the Drill Instructor!

The Drill Instructor, a.k.a. Dominic Esposito, is a knowledgable billiards teacher who whips (okay, encourages) his students into shape... pool shape.

Do this drill he recommends in April's lesson and you'll be more ready than ever to compete in tournament and league play.

Faced with a do-or-die situation in a tournament this weekend, my opponent leaving me with a very clever position with only one stripe left and the 8-ball, I made a very difficult backwards bank to get shape on the eight for the win. The other player is a local standout and I felt good about my accomplishment.

At least I felt good, however, until I saw what Paul and Willie pulled off after they had tied for the lag for break three times in a row. See what they're up to next in our latest installment of The Killer And The Mosc:
