My best pro event finish I drew Dave Favor and Cornbread back to back and beat them. In true Cornbread fashion he offered me weight and tried to get me to gamble. I was over the top happy on beating those 2 guys and had no illusions of gambling with either.

What year was that?

Specially that one.

On a peripheral note does Rachel Abbink actually play? Can't find crumbs about that.

Used to be able to run a rack of 9 ball no problem is rather ambiguous. Lots of people talk about how they or someone they know used to be able to run racks. You 100% wont be running racks on a 4.25, and unless you adjust the rails it wont play anywhere near right.

Take it to Hard Times Champion!

… jk bro
Give me a few months of practice and I’ll be there..

"Women can't play pool!" Back in the seventies and eighties there were plenty of men with this opinion. Fortunately I met a few ladies that could early in my playing days so was never given to such foolishness.

Never did but I have to think traveling with a lady player would have been like having the keys to the mint!

I dont trust Al or GPS. Been led down many wrong roads or dead ends.

GPS was set up to commit mass murder when I was using it years ago. A state highway went with no turnoffs for twenty miles or so then right down a ramp into a lake!

It did save some tickets though. Got stopped for speeding. When I showed them the GPS and told them it was accurate to a tenth of a mile an hour they asked, "It can tell you how fast you are going?" "Yep, argue with it and you are arguing with satellites and the federal government!"

The GPS is terrible about sending anything over ten or twelve feet tall down impossible routes too.

AI is still a ways from being ready for prime time. I used to play with people leading them down a logical path. Six steps or more, every one of them unquestionably true as stand alone statements but they led to a totally ridiculous answer. I don't trust AI not to do that yet.

Can't argue with what worked but I would favor the bank off of the head rail and kissing the rail near the thirteen to reduce the angle into the thirteen and have the cue ball come out. I also try to stay at least twelve inches from my next ball. Getting too close can create unplayable shots too easily.

None of what I would have done matters when you got the W by your name though!

When we visualize a shot clearly it is usually the shot to take, regardless of the highest percentage shot. Some days when balls aren't wanting to fall I bank when there are easier shots.

All the colors would make it difficult for me to see and judge?

Just wondering, I got a 1985 Weir/adam cue. The cue moves the cueball better than any cue i have owned. It feels a little thicker in the handle area and not just in the back. I think it has to do with the taper of the butt. I noticed when i put it on the table the joint is off the table about a credit card thickness. when i roll it it is straight but end of joint never touches the table. So the butt doesnt have a constant taper from end of joint to end of butt. What kind of taper would this be or be called? I think this is why it moves the cueball so well. Thanks!

Im seeing what's out there for a nice Tascarella 4 pointer preferably w/ some colorful veneers, wrap, Hoppe style and cocobolo is a bonus. Would possibly be interested in other builders like Scruggs. Not looking for a super loaded cue, and actually prefer minimal to no inlays. It will be an occasional player. I'm looking for something that I really like, so I'm going to be kinda picky here.
One thing is that im in Canada, so you would have to be able to ship here. Let me know what you've got.
