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.

LOL, had to look up "UI/UX".

The only people making assumptions are the ones who can't be bothered to read it - it's posted above and "all games" isn't highlighted but "Main Arena" is and right below it - "main stage" and who doesn't know what that is?

I agree with the post above that says it could have been written in a different way, but the way it was written isn't hard to understand and . . . you have to read it. So claims of "scam" and "sleazy" are exaggerations.

It would make life easier if this was true but there a number of factors which make this a little incomplete including the swerve you cause on the cue ball by spinning it, the speed you hit the ball, the adjustment you need on your aim to account for ball induced throw and the effect the spinning cue ball has on the object ball. If you get these all to cancel each other out you have found nirvana. On the other hand if you consciously think about these things when shooting a match you will probably loose. Pool is hard.

Excellent description, of whats its like shooting with any shaft, i used mine on and off for the last year, it doesn't feel any different (just a bit stiffer) than what im use too. I can only compare to the solid old growth shafts i use.

Nothing amazing. im pretty happy if i get my 12.65mm with a long taper. Heavy ferrule, But i know what i like.
Like dendweller said, best not think about the other stuff. Just put the time in, Because i only use the same type. I don't even notice the deflection, i just play.
I don't know what Bavafongoul (matt) has, had made, maybe he has found his holly grail. In those shafts

Nothing to do with pool whatsoever.

6 reds snooker is a shortened version of snooker using much the same the rules. With fewer reds the "frames" takes less time to play enabling organisers to get though a huge draw while enabling the players to still play best of 3 or 5 frame eliminations.

6 reds has been adapted in most countries and being a shorter game it can be more entertaining when televised.

I literally supplied a link as well.

This set of balls is not for normal 6 Reds Snooker, which is indeed a smaller version of Snooker with just 6 balls. And there is another version which uses 10 red object balls. Nevertheless these games are played on a Snooker table afaik…

6 Reds PoolSnooker (thats their name on the website) is specifically made for Pool tables. Of course it bares similarities with normal 6 Reds Snooker. It provides aids and a tutorial for marking the correct spots on a Pool sized table. The set has the 2 special balls as well. And in case of a tie, there is no respotted black but a special Shoot Off play to determine the winner.

I know from watching bar box players go from sloppy valleys to tight diamonds that the pokey bar box strokes they have rattle a lot of balls once they change over. I had to rebuild my stroke to play on diamonds. Smooth slow back stroke give me a smooth slow forward stroke which give me more accuracy at impact which means more balls go in the hole. I don’t need to analyze it more than that.

Yeahhhhh, but pros switch cues based upon sponsor money, not cue quality

I think the common description is “crazy as a shit house rat”.

Dogs were the big ones with Danny. He knew every dog and every dog track in the country. What he never figured out was what races were fixed! I told him several times it was not all legit and he said he knew that but could still beat the track. ??

I think we both know that was hopeful thinking on his part. The last time I saw him, he summed up his financial situation in typical Danny fashion, “I probably won several million in my life of gambling, but I never saved a quarter”.

Yeah. Filler even three fouled him leading 6-0.

What are those points anyway?

Looked like around 100K. How much was on the set?

Wasn't that him in Meglino Wolford? The payer gave him at least 20K.

Best way to explain it? It's Earl being Earl...
