Cue Times Billiard News is a monthly publication dedicated to promoting pool in the Rocky Mountain region, providing unbiased coverage of tournaments, leagues, and recreational play. The publication is led by Editor/Publisher Chris Honeman and features various contributors, including Tom Ross, who is currently on hiatus due to health issues. In his archived article, Tom discusses the importance of speed control in pool, emphasizing the need to develop "touch" and understand where it originates, which is in the fingers of the shooting hand. He provides tips on how to improve speed control, including identifying a precise spot to leave the cue ball, forgetting about it to focus on pocketing the ball, and choosing cue-ball paths that allow for error. Tom also suggests using a reference speed, such as "lag speed," to adjust to the speed of a strange table. The publication includes various sections, such as "Places to Play," "Leagues," "Tournaments," and "Features/Instruction," and is available online at www.cuetimes.com.
