I dont know so much about pool but the racers of today would smoke the racers of yesterday. 40 years ago racers didnt usually get to the big show until they were mid to late 20's because they didnt start racing until they were of driving age or close to it. Todays racers start when they are 5 years old and face strong competition before they are in their teens are they are the show by the time they are late teens and early 20's. Jeff Gordon first drove a sprint car when he was 13, there are many dudes who race that wouldn't dare even get in one. I think todays racers are far better but I also think if you prepared yesterdays wheelmen like kids today are prepared they would be just as good. So its not the athlete who has improved they just have better preparation.
I was considering whether to race cars or motorcycles back around 1970 or so. I was at the dirt track when a van pulls up. Out steps a kid five years old, Scooter Stafford, national champion. I realized I was ten or twelve years too late to start racing motorcycles and went with cars, the way I was leaning anyway. They were starting in go carts fairly young even then but motorcycles were ridiculous. You had a longer career in cars too. Partially an older driver and a lot of people marrying pretty young but I raced against a driver and his great grandson!
Discussing AI in a different thread...Let AI settle the argument. AI videos are everywhere. Why not create AI video of Buddy v Filler...
'73 Dolphins v '07 Pats...Jordan v LeBron...match ups would be endless.
Title kind of says it all. I'm not a leatherworker, but I am a sailor. I had some leather left over from building turnbuckle covers. A Stanley knife, some sail maker's needle and thread, and some very rudimentary leather forks, and I have a case. Interior is lined in lamb fleece, one tube from a golf bag to hold a cue butt is finished in polar fleece. I was inspired by a shotgun slip.
The match room break rule is a joke as well. A “forceful” break is too subjective. I’ve seen breaks that aren’t forceful, being let go and ones that are, being called as not. Need something more concrete in my opinion
