    Taking ball in hand after break............

    Pro credibility/fame will always affect random onlookers viewpoint seeing someone in action. That being said, I wish I had been there to see you beat the ghost 11-2, quite an accomplishment. Hard to think anyone paying attention wouldn’t be impressed watching you run the racks like that. If...

    Pool's "image" has nothing to do with it's lack of popularity - Science

    Virtually not a single 9 footer left to play on in slc, meanwhile these guys have built a GIANT league in a matter of about a decade catering specifically to millennials. Beehivesports.com The main poolhall in Salt Lake City Big Willies is also a home bar for some of the teams in this league...

    Pool's "image" has nothing to do with it's lack of popularity - Science

    Colleges... brilliant. Hype the rivalries. Same convo as the charities gig as far as community involvement.

    Pool's "image" has nothing to do with it's lack of popularity - Science

    While I don’t discount video games having an impact on young persons habits. I’m no expert but I have owned a poolhall and I’m also a millenial (barely), so here’s my 2 cents: I think image is one thing, and it affects the culture and growth of any given entity. Also, I think image does...

    tips on dealing with haters?

    I have a similar setup, here’s my situation & solution. I adjust my scenario based on how I feel. If I feel aggressive and want to satisfy my competitive side and/or gamble, I go to the poolhall in town. Plenty of takers there who are delighted to give me a piece and are also good enough that...

    Slo Mo jumping the object ball

    That full ball shot is insane! A full day and 55 holes in my table and maybe I can swing it :D. What type of camera did you use for that?

    Calling all pro speed players

    The gender side of this I am completely lost on... is the point supposed to be that women are not as good as men, or is this about the validity of fargo men vs fargo women. The first is circular nonsense to go on and on about , the second won’t be reflected in the match for the proposed...

    Calling all pro speed players

    Further.. additional wagers could be placed against the spread from the mean, effectively betting on neither play and vis a vis wagering for or against the fargo accuracy directly.

    Calling all pro speed players

    Regarding the fargo rate, seems like there is a more factual way this can be assessed.... Supposedly, based on ones fargo rate we can roughly calculate what the spread should be in a particular match between two individuals, right? Or am I misunderstanding this part? I don’t have a rating, I’m...

    Calling all pro speed players

    Holy cow, this thread!?? I don’t have a dog in this race, straight up.. this thread has gone so many loop de loops it’s crazy, several topics not connected all being tossed around at once. Here’s what I can see so far, and perhaps a more meaningful end idea to certain topics. First of all, as...

    Giving Up The Table

    I usually just offer to play them doubles and let them pick my partner. Levels the field a bit, makes it more sporty. You can embrace the challenge without running out the bar guests. Once they start asking pool questions to learn, they usually buy me beer or shots!?

    "Call Shot 9ball"

    This is my take as well... Without all the balls in the way like other games someone who can do what they wish with the cue ball is much more dangerous than a gambler trying to luck into safeties and 9 rolls imo. Be the guy who can run 3 racks, not the guy who hopes he can get lucky roll and...
