    Mosconi cup to florida

    Haha never understood the love for those subs, its just trash boars head meat or worse if you get the Publix brand stuff. Better than subway or Jimmy John's but that's hardly a claim to fame. Rather have something made in house.

    Tip Contact Location Difference between 9-Ball and 14.1

    As he said, he is an engineer. In plenty of sports it is not players or coaches making the innovations. Take cycling for example, it's doctors, engineers, and nutritionist who are pushing the sport forward innovating the technology and methods used for racing and training, not the riders. They...

    Tip Contact Location Difference between 9-Ball and 14.1

    The value add in this product for me is seeing where i am adding unintentional spin or hitting lower or higher on the cue ball than I intended, especially with the instant feedback provided by having it sync to a tv or phone that i can look up at after each shot. I've fixed similar issues in my...

    What a tool!!!

    What if the other ball had gone in clean past the combo ball, its definitely happened before, you'd have to trust that the player would call the foul on themselves, that is why all kicks, banks, caroms and combos aren't considered obvious shots, because shit can happen and then you have to trust...

    What a tool!!!

    I don't understand this nit thing. The tournaments I play in are all ball fouls, if your finger, clothing or cue touch any ball, its a foul, not only would a close friend call you on it as expected, you'd be looked down on for not calling it on yourself, you broke the rules and should...

    What a tool!!!

    Why dont they just play 9b? Would the advantage of non call shot 10b over 9b just be decreasing the percentage of making a ball on the break? But than we might as well play 9b on the spot and a break box, as it accomplished a similar objective.

    BCA or APA for League Play

    Interesting concept never heard of this format. Though with all the different types of people who play leagues, how do they deal with people who can't stand to be around each other, like I've seen people who are so vile that I couldn't stand to be in a team with them, spouting racism or politics...

    BCA or APA for League Play

    I played in aleague with this structure and really disliked it as it changed the game of 8 ball too much. It rewarded bad play of weaker players, by encouraging players to make easy balls to get points instead of solving problems and playing smart, where you dont pocket Are there any leagues...

    Another Euro Phenom...........

    Us might do better at developing pool players if they stopped worrying about action or gambling all together, it's an almost non existent part of the pool culture here. Usually bets if any are for dinner, or some beers, but then both people get to go and hang out together so it's a good time...

    Another Euro Phenom...........

    People might share bits and pieces, if you donate thru cheap sets you might get a few more tips, but generally no, people want to keep you easy to beat so you'll gamble and lose, unless you become good friends with someone then it's different story, even then some of the good friends I've had in...
