I've heard several things in here that I think people are confused by. It's not about accelerating THROUGH the cueball. It's accelerating to the point of contact. Do you know why letting the weight of the cue do the work works so well? It's because it's impossible to decelerate prior to contact if you're just carrying the cue to the point of contact. If you're not trying to force the cue through the ball, you don't have the means to decelerate without absolutely intending to.

Letting the weight of the cue do the work does more than just that, it makes it harder to deviate off of the intended aimline, to deviate from the intended portion of the cueball you wish to contact, etc.

Thomas Haas, the last good player from Philly. I think he's about 30 now. I can't think of anyone younger than him that is as good, in Philly.

That UI/UX is pretty sleazy. Most people will make assumptions about what a “full event pass” means. The text bragging about it being “all games” is highlighted much more prominently than the caveat that it’s just the main table.

His ad says "unlike hollow or overly thin designs....". That means to me it will squirt much more than a Revo, or even a 314.

I was actually going over electrical with a buddy today. He is a construction guy, he said "do you really need that many" I replied, I'd rather have them and not need them than need them and not have them".

Yep. Most people have the mind set of "If I need more, I'll get a power strip".

That may be fine for computer room electronics, but not so for machinery and heavy draws. Plus, I just hate the look of power strips.

Can I not stream the derby via Accu-Stats this year? I usually just buy an all-inclusive early bird pass for the entire week and be done with it. Cannot find any such option this year and weather too bad for me to physically get there...

Thanks,

There is no accu-stats.

It is XPool this year: https://xpool.live/dcc-2026

The XPool Main Arena Full Event Pass is the same thing you got before from Accu-Stats. One table only.

The other option is the outer tables, all other out tables. Don't really need this as there are at least 6+ streamers on youtube showing tables for free.
