You broke or jumped with it, an if so any damage noticed?

About 30, maybe 32-33, years, I brought my Schon cue to a friend and had him reshape a mushroomed tip he originally installed about a month earlier. So he says, you back again so fast. So we chatted while he reshaped the tip.

So he says I must have reshaped your tips maybe a dozen times , probably even more than that. Will you do me a favor? Since he wasn’t charging me, and he was my friend as well, of course, I answered back….absolutely.

Stop hitting the fucking balls so hard. I chuckled and said I don’t but for a jump shot or break shot, I have to. So he goes into his inventory room and comes back with a McDermott Stinger break jump cue, hands it to me saying “You now owed me $100. I don’t use this any longer.”

So I looked at him quizzically at first, said thanks and before I can anything else, he says….Stop flattening your playing cue’s tip needlessly. You take the time to shape them and then you go pound the tip flat. Why would you do that? Keep the tip shape you wanted for playing and use a house cue to break with but those tips are shit. So get an inexpensive break cue; it doesn’t have to also be a jump cue because you suck at jumping the cue ball anyway.

He was right. Why pound my tip so I have to keep reshaping it reducing its life span and changing the way it feels from removing leather every time it needed to get trimmed. My playing tips are too important and besides I use Kamui Black Clear Soft Tips. A soft tip is definitely going to mushroom faster than a hard tip. I shape my tips and it lasts a long time but if I broke with that tip, I’d be replacing tips often. There’s no reason to break with your playing cue and there is justification not to. However, as in life, do as you will. I’m just suggesting if you think about it, why bother even doing it?

Six ball has always been called ''short rack in pool.
In snooker, they have named and done a ''short rack'' 10 ball pro event.
Saying it this way, you don't have to Explain the rules.
Explaining new rules to players never seems to work.

My favorite band, my favorite guitar player. I cried when Jack died. My prayers are with you mark. You might remember your Montana trip, I am John the pool player.

Calling it short rack 9 ball seems so……redundant. 9 ball is already short rack rotation. Maybe call it half rack 9 ball even though you can’t have a true half rack.

What I found is this.
If you rack em tight, with the 9 ''on'' the spot.
The wing balls just bank back up table to the head string area, not easy to make a ball is what I've experienced.

I'd break from the side driving the one into either the two or the three depending on which side you break from. 9 is going to really go flying. Also that money doesn't add up looks like they're keeping an awful lot of money.

$10.60 cents per player overhead, & that includes table time.
If there's less players, everyone gets less.

Very popular on the Chinese table, they like to play this or 6 ball in a ring game for small money - sometimes they rack the opposite way that is shown in the picture, and if you hit it right, the horizontal balls are wired to the corners. There are a few tricks, but I am not aware of them. My friend plays a lot, I will ask him.
