Kaplan Makes It Euro Tour No.7

INA KAPLAN COLLECTED her seventh PREDATOR Euro Tour title as she defeated surprise finalist Vania Franco of Portugal 8-4 to carry off the KAMUI SLOVENIAN OPEN at the Terme Olimia resort in Podčetrtek. It was sweet redemption for Kaplan, who missed out in Austria last month, beaten in a final rack decider by Pia Filler. This time she made no mistakes as she opened up a big 6-0 lead to give herself a comfortable cushion. Franco though, came back at her, moving the score to 6-3 and then 7-4 before Kaplan shook off the pressure and got the job done […]

Mark Wilson on sidespin to pocket balls

Jack doesn't show how much sidespin the object ball has, so the figure is unrelated to what I wrote.

As Pat said, the two results are caused by the same force, so they have to be together.
Has anybody studied cut induced influences on the CB?

I know there is such a thing, but nobody talks about it here or anywhere.

How do you calculate CB paths without knowing what spin is added or subtracted, given the hit.

NOT A Great transaction with PoolPlayer09 SCAMMER ALERT.

No way this butt cap damage should have not been clearly pointed out in a sale post. And suggesting it should be on the buyer’s dime to take care of it because the seller says they “…got a good deal” is ridiculous.
This is his ads. And also the reply when he saw what I shown him. The guy is a scammer bro. This is why I post it, and I wouldn’t want anyone to get the same issues as I am.
I can easily send to my buddy to repair this, but that JW logo will be gone, therefore I will just sell it as is and subtract 300$ from the guy, to let the next buyer to chose fix or l just play as is. For $2000, it’s a good or great cue.

Any videos of Dr Dave in an actual match?

A dedicated player willing to work hard, learn the things they need to learn, and practice smartly can easily raise their game by much more than 50 points if they are committed to improving. For example, I have seen many dedicated players advance from 400 level to 550 level within a couple of years after putting in the necessary work. "Natural talent" and "starting young" are certainly factors, but I think they are often grossly overrated.

Now, going from 650 to 800 is another matter entirely. You need to have everything it takes to play like a top pro to do this.

Yes, but I didn't want to over reach ;-)

A 50 point upswing is more doable if you're in the 4-550 range. The further up the mountain you are, the thinner the air, the steeper the climb, the tougher each step gets.

Any videos of Dr Dave in an actual match?

I don’t know why anybody would care about watching me play; but if you really want to, I have lots of examples available in the “Example Videos of Dr. Dave Playing Pool” section near the bottom of the page here:

The first two sentences in the bio explain exactly why people would want to see video of you playing matches.

Where are the 'lost' Mosconi videos?

For pool content, it wasn't worth the studio's time (or at least their archivist's time) even if the licensing terms were satisfied.
That means it would require a grotesque amount of money. You would have to guarantee it. Who can do that?

After all, they are in business to make money, no other reason.

That makes me wonder how much it would take.
