After round 9 it looks like 21 players and four with buybacks:
SVB
Gorst
Meglino
Teutscher

Starting round 10 before 9 finishes. I think they need to go through round 13 or maybe 14 today.

A few of the 9 ball matches have gone over 2 hours.

Not new, but it has been a hot minute.

Moved from Mid Mich to Mich Thumb recently. Retired. Ready to chase that White Ball once again.

The night has not even begun!

Also a lot of people have probably left already, no?

obviously the one he is to give the discount on is a little warped. insist on one of the others.

better yet get the fancy cue so you will be more respected. and might get a date.

lately i have been staining some of my old wood shafts black and for some reason they are selling like hotcakes at county the fair, for 300 dollars a piece.

For me, my break completely changed in efficacy via one change in follow thru.... and most importantly, time away from the game (YEARS in fact) is not nearly as impacted by loss of muscle memory.

I think a lot of folks just try to smack the CB at or near mid, mid-top. I used to as well.

Then I got a 20 oz 'breaking stick' from a pro who won it as a door prize, and had a friend put on a phenolic.

I place the CB as near and straight on the spot as possible, sometimes measuring the absolute limit of closeness by placing said breaking stick across the 2nd foot spot diamonds.

When attempting the break, I pick out a spot on the table about 1 ball length to 3 inches BEYOND the top of the CB, using the height of my eyes thru the CB into the table as my reference point.

I then strike the CB trying to skewer that spot thru the CB, as if it were invisible, as if I'm actually hitting 'thru' it, to that spot.

I just potted my first 8 ball on the break in many years, ironically NOT in the side, but the right corner.

Talent disclosure: I have a ceiling at B-, but due to technique, I can always come back as Straight C after Years away.

You are 100% right!

I confused this one with my Tascarella because it’s threaded a little bit differently than all my other 3/8x10 mod pins at the top.

I think it's good for you to work these things out on your own. The knowledge will last longer that way.
