- Hi Mr Davis, I'm an amator player from Quebec, Canada and I my dream is to become a profesionnal pool player. My level of play is really getting there, but it's hard to find tournaments around here to improve and compete against stronger players... Do you know where I should start? Do you know where is the best place to play profesionnal events in the north of the States? Thank you very much for your help.

- Hi Pascal. Here are a couple of Canadian tours that might get you started competing on a higher level. If there are not events in Canada, the Joss Northeast 9-Ball Tour is located in the upper northeast portion of the US and is a great tour to frequent.

- This question is for Tiffany Nelson. I am 12 and love to play pool with my older brothers. I practice whenever I can and love to be better than the boys.

- It's really nice to hear that your already being successful at winning against your older siblings. I wish you the best of luck and if you really enjoy to play the game of pool, then I would encourage you to look into signing up for local junior tournaments in your area. I can remember participating in 18 and under junior events in my home state starting at the age of nine or ten and winning! I would also advise you to find out if there are any local pro players in your area....professional coaching/guidance can help your game tremendously, especially at such a young age. Keep up the good work! :)

- Hi Jeanette my name is Jason Amos and I'm 15 years old, I have been playing pool for about 10 years and I'm just having one problem when playing in tournaments and I'm hoping you can help but how do I get over being so nervous when playing? I would be way better than I am now. Is there any way I could become a pro at such a young age? Would I be able to get a sponsor? If you answered these questions I'd be very thankful, I hope I hear back from you!

- Hi Jason. You've got to realize that the first time you ride a bike or drive a car, it's scary and nervewracking. But the more you do it, the more comfortable you will be. When you see us on tv and we look so cool, we are still nervous. Nervousness just means you have passion for what you are doing. That you care whether or not you win or lose. But the pros adjust to the nerves by embracing and accepting it rather than fighting it. We realize that it's how we're supposed to feel and the adrenaline is part of the rush. You just have to keep competing and playing in tournaments so you can get used to the feeling of playing under pressure. Start with small tournaments and move up from there.

- Hey Jeanette,
I saw you in Vegas in 2002 at the Riv. and got a picture with you. I play with 1 hand and I was just wondering are there any tricks I can do to jump the ball which I can't do for the way I shoot. Also I jump up on my shots: is this really hampering my game? I try to stay down but I can't seem to get into the routine, also my mind set seems like it's lost compared to years ago. Any tips how to get it back?

- My husband George plays one handed as well. He jumps the ball quite easily, but it takes alot of patience and practice. With the availability of so many great jump cues out there, you should be able to do it. Yes you should absolutely stay down on your shot. No excuses, get help if you must. but find a way to stay down!!

- Belinda- You have been around the sport for quite some time, what has kept you motivated and focused over the years?
- Thomas, Jacksonville
- Quite a while is an under statement!!! The thing about pool is that it can hold your attention for a lifetime. It is a continual learning process and there is always that goal of perfection. One must be open to new information and new ideas. A player does reach the point where they have maximized their potential with their existing knowledge. The only way to reach the next level is to increase their knowledge. I have been fortunate to not only meet someone who had additional knowledge, but also someone who was willing to share that knowledge. That someone was Robert McCullough of Colliding Spheres.
