To those of you out there that have a straight , repeatable stroke, how would you define straight?

I'm using this shot x 20, 50 or 100 times as my metric. How many times out of 20, 50, or 100 should I be able to pocket the 8 ball before I can call my stroke straight, and move on?
Is this the best path to attain this goal? Thank you

I just don't know about FR...

I sometimes wonder, if I were a young man again, and everyone used FR for dating, and you asked a 720 out, and you were just a 650...

Traditionally the USBA spends their money to support the Nationals and to send the winners 1st & 2nd place winners to the World Championships.

They've done very little to promote the game.

They're only capable of scrounging up the cash to send a US representative to the Worlds.

Wish they would give that up and concentrate on Teaching and Promoting the Game vs National and World Competition.
The USA has Zero chance for a Championship.

Give all that UP USBA and work for the future.

I'm sure I won't live long enough to see that happen.

Played last year -- the setup was lovely.

However, the days I was there it seemed poorly attended by spectators. And it was a one match a day slough. Anywhos, finished tied for 12th-18th in the 1pocket.

The Hall is again hosting SVB for a week of challenge matches, instruction, and seminars. June 22-28. The challenge matches are $125 for a race to 4, you pick the game. Spots are going fast. https://www.thehallmission.com/svb

Ooh, here's hoping The Hall posts some of the mic'd-up matches to YT. I enjoyed watching the ones they posted of the previous event even though I felt guilty seeing all the locals get destroyed haha

I'm guessing a import too, probably made by either KaoKao or KaoFa. Something about the sleeve looks off on the top one, the notched diamonds should be centered, cue may have been broken/fixed. AZ'r Joe Lolley used to sell his 'BamaCues' line that were very similar to these. They were very nice imports.

I think I have seen them both.

The first one is nice. I like it.

"High value" when you consider the work that goes into them.

If you're into a fancy cue and don't have much money it's an option.

Most people aren't terribly serious about pool and cues anyway, and honestly you could do well with a cue like that.

Why use the word "Professional" on the name of some of the events?

I suppose so as not to offend those involved with amateur (league) championships, but it doesn't make any sense unless they establish separate divisions of pro/am. I think many of those entered will not be professional pool players.
