BCA Meritorious Service Induction

Of course my nomination means nothing.
But I'm nominating Mark Wilson to be inducted into the BCA HOF.

IMO, Mark spends and has spent more time promoting the game than anyone I've seen.

Coaching teams and players to become Collegiate National Championships many consecutive years.
Coaching, Training and Advising/Teaching anyone.
Managing a Multi-State Pool League
Preserving, Recording, Recognizing and Promoting Pool & Billiards History of the players.

Mark is the only one that I can see that's really, truly spending time and money trying to make these games top fold news like they used to be a very long time ago.

My vote goes to Mark Wilson, if the BCA is listening.

Cole Dickson's practice session routine

Wide open table and no information as to the table itself. I don't think it has to be much harder, maybe not any harder, than a 147 on a championship snooker table.

I mention winning over 160 racks of eight ball in a row when a scratch on the break or the eight ball would have been a loss. Sounds farfetched but out of the 25-30 guys I played there were only maybe a half dozen that could runout playing eightball. People moved in and out of the rotation but my main concern was that there were over a hundred challenges on that table at times, sometimes around 125. If I lost control of the table I would never be allowed back on it. I played strategy to stay on the table. Equally important, there was a strange moon in the sky that night. The situation was never right to repeat. I went back about a month later, about a dozen challenges on the table. I got on the table, won three games and everyone pulled their money down. Four or five months later I went back again. Put a challenge on the table and the eight or ten people on the table quit, I never even broke.

I did the impossible a handful of times driving a circle track car. Strange things happen.

You should write a book.

It will be kept alive with further posts after it gets placed in the Main Forum where it is supposed to be.

straightline: "Can you provide the logic behind this?"

I can't do a video right now, but maybe we can do it with words. I'm not sure what level you are starting from, so here are some basics. Do you understand these?
  1. The standard, simple ghost ball idea is that if the cue ball touches the object ball on its point farthest from the pocket, the object ball will be driven perfectly straight towards the pocket. At the instant of contact, the centers of the cue ball and object ball are on a line to the pocket.
  2. If you include the friction between the balls, and the cue ball is moving across the object ball -- like for a cut shot -- the object ball will be pulled off that ideal line by the sideways friction from the cue ball. This is called "throw".
Do both of those make sense?
Why do you assume I don't know how to do what your are discussing?

I wanted you or PJ or Bill to post a video demonstrating your point of view on the subject. Include not just pocketing the ball, but playing shape on another ball using a variety of spins.

Talking imo isn't doing.
