Energy transfer from cuetip to whiteball

A harder tip gives you slightly more CB speed for a given stroke because it has a slightly better hit efficiency.

Also, smoother acceleration over a longer stroke length can give the perception of less effort being applied to create the same cue speed (as compared to a short, punchy stroke).
I'll agree a 'Harder' tip for 'Artistic shots' is better for the 'Extreme' effects of the CB!

IMPO, a 'Med-Med-Soft' tip for more control of the CB in actual Pool/3C play!

the current debate is if you can hit the cue ball as hard with less speed

dave please dont destroy so many of the players perception of their equipment. as its their only hope of getting much better is by advancing their equipment rather than their skills.

it ruined many when they found out different weights fall at the same speed. as they saw the feather and ball drop at different speeds.

the current debate is if you can hit the cue ball as hard with less speed as with more speed. bob tried didnt get too far.

Vegas

vegas is packed with those wanting or willing to spend the bucks. so what they are doing is right. having cheap only brings in cheap. and no money.

it is a place for entertainment at a higher level.

if you want cheaper go to the indian casinos or casinos in smaller towns that have them.

stay at the beverly hills hotel 1000 a night for a room and 50 bucks for a hamburger. there is a place for everyone and everyone's budget.

TX Hold'm Pool Game

We all know being around the billiard world.... there is NO game that a good player can ever beat a top pro..... unless maybe a race to 1.
In my travels I happened to be at the Bicycle Club in the Los Angeles area helping with the artistic competition, also ran into Cole Dixon who was playing cards as part of his life.
I became friends with Bob Turner who's been running this card club for decades, a few yrs ago we went out to lunch together.
He mentioned TX Hold'm changed poker forever, he also said it's a game that offers chance.
It's the ONLY game that regular poker players will play with the pros.
They feel/know they have a chance, it's he ONLY poker game that offers this, and most often the only game card players will play in Vegas.
In our pool world, NO games offer this to the average player, where a 600 Fargo could beat a 750, just ain't gonna happen.
Even with the Fargo rated events, they seem to cause this and that with money/game count etc and they are always playing the first day into the second day
Three ball, six ball, nine ball, ten ball, one pocket, straight pool, avg players CANNOT win playing even, when there's a 150 point Fargo Difference.
All I can say is Colorado Hold'm pool game... is called Short Rack 9 Ball, pro rules, 9 on the spot, and the 9 ball is ALWAYS movin' on the break shot.
Recently I held 2 events and a local man won the event, a few weeks later he returned to play a second time.
First match he drew a gal that drove up from Pueblo, she beat him 7-0.
In these events.... all winners/losers start each round at the EXACT same time. Finals dinner time or earlier.
Tell your room owners about this, I'm gettin' ready to promote, I have 2 events this next mth in Denver.
I'm in Denver, i saw this event in the springs a while back (or somewhere else south of here) and it definitely piqued my interest; seems like a fun concept. I may join at felt. thanks for promoting it here!

TX Hold'm Pool Game

in cards it isnt clear who will win and who will lose. the best players win in the long run and have major ups and downs.

not so in pool the better players as said almost always wins each and every match.

and handicaps only make for some of the difference and never give the weaker player much of a chance anyway.

bill i hope whatever you are proposing works out well. as when a not so good player wins his buddies say if he can win so can i and then they sign up and get in.
