Like with all changes, at first some don't like it. But eventually, they get used to it and move on to get pissed at something else.
WPBA also play CB foul only, start there and move down to amatuer leagues until CB foul only will be a thing of the past.

Too late I already bought one from someone else... I guess you're not really selling this one...

Says who? That's my point. It's golf if I call it golf. The R&A and the USGA don't get the absolute say on what is called golf. They get the absolute say on what THEY call golf. That's where their governance ends.

Oh, and I've had many an afternoon ruined waiting for some of those "golfers" to take a damn shot and to putt everything out. But I just accept it as it is - after all, that's what they agreed to, so who am I to say what they should or shouldn't be doing?

Sure.

And you can play "baseball" without someone pitching the ball to you too...

Again, I don't care. But don't expect others to be impressed by your great batting average.

Maybe they need Match Room's help to make it bigger

I just realized something today. The predator air rush does not have a Vault Plate. The BK rush does have a vault plate.

Thank Ryan, I assume you are saying before you put the final finish coats over the wrap, like in the case of a Meucci. I ask because I wanted some confirmation if anyone did the epoxy sealer over the wrap before the final finish coats.

I play in a league with about 60 people in central MS and we never have arguments...probably not typical. We have beginners and some mid 600 Fargo...I think they are glad to play whatever the rules are. We play by CSI rules. I think the biggest difference in attitude comes from the fact that we redraw our teams every session and all teams have experienced players and beginners. We often coach players on the opposing team. Pool players aren't any better or worse than any other group, It is the culture created by the league operator/owner. IMO.

I did get the question to Efren in a podcast. The which ball last question got Object ball. Well perhaps I worded the question wrong. Shrug wink At impact would be better.

The wrap is the last thing I do.

Late to follow but seeing "the stroke" probably have over passed Efren's pump handle stroke. What a thing of beauty. The way the fingers applied the final touch to the cueball. Then the cueball talked.
Watching the tip interaction with whitey allows the best read on conditions. What condition My condition was in was read 1, the equipment was read 2. Kinda like watching bowling and watching the bowling ball spin and bite. The ball and cloth interaction needs to be gauged. Made for, well "back in the day", it made for the perfect stall. Going down 35 at 5 per was to be expected. Catching up allowed for bet escalation to 20 and possibly 200 payday.

An all-around would be very hard to handicap. Josh has a clear edge at 9ball, 10 ball seems pretty even, and Fedor would have a slight edge at both banks and one-pocket. Let's hope this happens.

I'd consider it the first marathon match played between the world's two best players in the last 50 years. For the record, when Efren hooked up with Earl in the Race to 120 in the late 1990s, Jose Parica was quite a bit better than Efren at 9ball.

What is it you use? I would love to find a dry lubricant that works as good as oil.

I think the brand is Blaster (Home Depot). I’ve tried all kinds of oil, but it still attracts wood, dust, you name it. I also put the dry lube on the headstock and tailstock and cross slide. Woodcraft also has small adhesive strips of a slick material that I would love to find a way to attach to the bed and head/tail stock. I think this might lead to adjustments I may not be capable of making.
