X drill is the only way

I know a guy who shoots nothing else. He never plays anyone. He never shoots any other shot. He doesn't even change ends.

There are several reasons why the X is a bad drill, especially the way some people end up playing it.

The Fontainbleau looks like you could have that done in a day, with a good Dremel.
I am sure the market is there if they have been in business for as long as stated.

The Dremel that goes to 200,000 RPM? I wonder if that's all CNC.

I like inlay more than carved, like the Sorrento:


Or maybe a Kling-inspired design.

Pretty sure Jay Helfert has seen some amazing golf battles down at Hard Times.

I visited Hard Times (Bellflower) once not long before it closed. When I was there they had a 6 x 12 in a separate room and an open Golf game going on non-stop. I found the same thing in a room in Savannah years later. In Savannah, it was more of a friendly game between locals one day a week. I was nervy enough to join the locals in Savannah, but the Hard Times game was a little too serious for me.

thats right, the opponent didnt care. so he got what happened and from the looks of it accepted his fate with no complaints.

so whats the problem.

If you’re talking about the Yapp situation, there was a referee directly watching the shot? And Yapp was in the road - he couldn’t see the hit.

What else was he supposed to do? Maybe he could have moved to see the shot, but even that is questionable as a potential shark move (getting out of your chair when a referee is there to make the call). And as I’ve posted above, he would have protested had he seen the shot.
