I generally say "good match" whatever the result. I think it shows respect to the opponent. When I play poorly and my opponent says the same I don't feel insulted; I already know it anyway.

Does this wingnut even get it that he's become the laughing stock of AZ? He got his table and he's still whining. Does anyone at this point really give a airborne copulation? I for one don't need a day-by-day rundown of this lame saga.

You referring to me?

Still whining? Where did I whine? All I did was talk about how I thought the table could be slightly improved.

Lame saga? When you get a brand new Diamond Professional for over $11,000 I don't think that's a lame saga.

Sounds like you been listening to the other idiot on here that I have blocked a long time ago.

If you don't need a day-by-day rundown then simply don't read. Looks like all you do is whine.

So, now, let's just let it go..........

There is not an "always" answer for me.
It's a wide range depending on how the game or match went.
Pre match I prefer a salute with no words. If they advance with hand extended I shake it. No biggie .Some of the handshakes will say, "shoot well", I prefer "good luck".
Post match, their behavior during the match determines what I do or don't say. If they are good sports my comment would be genuine and cordial. I have encountered total ass hats that I just turn and walk away. They certainly wouldn't like what I had to say.

then maybe most all your shots should have that stroke. accuracy on your hit is the most important thing in pool.

for positioning,-- speed and english, and the change in where you hit the rail will be the difference in how you hit the bank shot.
not your bridge and stroke length, unless needed for reaching or comfort.

You played like a gentleman...I enjoyed the game.

Have you tried Tony Crosby's crew out of Spring Hill? Curious as to the quality of their work.

TC does not install anymore personally ...he has a crew. And he pulled a number on the last community I lived at. They bought 4 ProAms from him from a tournament. They included 4 new Tournament Blue 860's that he said he would keep unit they are needed. They are needed and called upon but there has been no recourse..no returned calls...no following up. No nothing...nice business guy to deal with.
Considering the mechanics that I have used and know locally Tony's crew is probably the best around. The rest are hackers and prefer installer for bangers and casual/informal players that do not know the difference.

I think my GC1 came out great. Sprayed semi-gloss black right out of a spray can.

changing your stroke doesn't do a thing except maybe make you get a cleaner hit if that helps you.

I was more accurate hitting the CB where I wanted on long banks, using a shorter bridge and stroke. Of course, banks in real games might require something different for positioning ...

If I win a match I usually say I got lucky and if i lose I just smile and say good luck the rest of the way.

I’ll be there on Wednesday to set up the booth and open Thursday morning til end and Friday morning til end.

and never let anyone change the game to one that you do not have the best of it in.
or introduce a factor you do not understand that could affect your chances.

then you become the sucker.

I might have a Jacoby V4, 12.3, 3/8-10 but i also have it tap into radial for my cues. I’m thinking have it at SBE so people can test cues. If you want i can also sell it. 350$ shipped.

Dave, are you going to start playing in some 9 ball tournaments? There are so many in our area, I've thought about starting some tourneys again. The only tournament I've played in the last 10 years was one of Little Jake's "B" tourneys a few years ago which I miracled a 4th place (this made me happy, as, to my shock and surprise, some unsuspecting gentleman actually purchased me in the calcutta - I was glad to see him win a little for that gamble). I have a cheap Action Break/Jump cue. It gets the job done for me.
