I just got a round of the Blue TAOM V10 chalk, I want to use it for a couple weeks before a review, is it the same as the green? Not sure yet...

I had just assumed the formula was the same regardless of color, but some people claim colors can slightly change the formula. The green Taom might apply a touch easier. I can’t prove it, though.

It diminishes my enthusiasm for the game. I get mad, frustrated, and honked at the world. Eventually I just lay the cue down and walk away from the table wondering why why why why........

Maybe this is as good as it gets. We hate to think so but maybe it is. Expectations are a let down.

That's about all I do since I rarely ever have a runnable rack.

Just gather the balls up, rerack, and break again.

Do this over and over and over and over until I finally do have a runnable rack.

To make that less boring, try this: break, then try to run out. As soon as your run ends, remove all but the highest four balls on the table. Take BIH, and try to run out the last four balls. Keep score: when you runout the last four balls, you get a point, when you miss, the ghost gets a point. Play a set to 7.

When you can regularly beat the four ball ghost, move on to the five ball ghost, etc. It's less boring because you aren't just breaking all the time, but you still break a lot.

I always assumed Lucy would be the one to make that declaration.

Jim, maybe the snooker players should make their pockets 1/8'' smaller....
I't likely their mind set (once they purchased US Open 9 ball from the Behrman family) likely set our games current pocket size this way.
If it's so important for the Europeans to have them smaller, why aren't the women pros playing under these conditions?
In professional golf all players use the same size putting cup size, tho women golf pros course conditions in majors are not as difficult as the men.
