Kaci calls out the top Pinoys. All of them.

Interesting how Kaçi only called out the Filipinos and not the top players in the world. You don’t have to like getting beat, but singling out a nationality makes it look like some sort of personal thing. I don’t read confidence, I read frustration. He lost to one Filipino and now he wants to flex on all of them? Sounds like he’s trying to erase the sting and Filipino dominance lives rent free in his head.

Dude is a world champion. I'm not so sure he buys into Filipino dominance.

Rules question

Bob Jewett said:
In the old days, sending an object ball onto the floor was not a foul. It has been a foul by the standard rules of pool since about 1990.

A ball that goes onto the floor for whatever reason is not considered pocketed, normally. In very recent times, some organizers have forbidden sending a ball that is hung in your opponent's pocket off the table to avoid it being pocketed. That depends on the organizer. A ball that you clear from the opponent's pocket by driving it off the table might be considered pocketed. Ask before the shot.

Your opponent was making a pretty nasty move, maybe. It's possible he is just ignorant. I guess you have to have a rules discussion with him.

Thx for your reply, I had to let it go because he was making a big deal about it.

Rebuttal by Johann Chua re Waxgate

hello said:
Your point is well taken but that would imply that the ''waxer'' is practising with the tampered cueball, plus since he could not do that in every match, would have to dial in on two cueballs...

This is a skill set anybody on the big tours can deal with. Not just the CB but whole sets, plus climate, climate control, etc...
The basic issue is the blind siding of the victim.

The dissertation effect is just the broadest application of clarity I can apply. I try to leave facts that anyone interested can pick up and use or question.

Rotation & 9-Ball

S
Won't hurt although you may find that the rotation workout doesn't always apply to 9 ball in a linear manner. 9 ball would maybe fall into the "home free" portion of 15 ball and besides the psychological easing of restrictions, the end patterns in 15 ball will probably differ somewhat from 9 ball.

A good approach might be to shoot through the 15 balls with the tightest cue ball you can muster rather than letting up for "good enough" in the last half.

Was playing some one pocket and my opponent shot a ball at his pocket. The ball glanced off balls already in his pocket and left the table.

It obviously was a drop pocket.

I called it as a foul and he maintained it was pocketed and kept on shooting.

I've never had this come up before in One Pocket.

I thought it's incumbent on the player to remove balls from his pocket so this doesn't happen.

NEW Bulletproof Synthetic Playing Tips.

SSP said:
I had the same experience, I have been using the Recoil Green since April on my new Becue Prime II shaft, couple of things I tried that really worked for me is when chalking just swipe the chalk in one direction on the tip, I found I need less chalk and don't need to chalk on every shot, and the best scuffer I have used is believe it or not is the Sandman shaper, I just drag it across the tip like I would drag it across the head of my rooster if you know what I mean, it doesn't remove any measurable tip material, move the tool slow and apply no pressure, the weight of the tool is enough, hope this helps, I have these tips on 3 different shafts, I love the consistency of them, best tip I have ever owned, I don't work for Bulletproof, I have tried at least 20 different tips in my lifetime and played all of them for awhile before moving on to another, I have no plan for moving on from the Bulletproof Recoil.

Do you know about what grit # the gritty surface is on your Sandman Shaper? I ask because I've also been maining a hard recoil for the last few months, and occasionally it will smooth out on me and I have to haphazardly scrape it with a flat tapper tool surface + poke it with the spikes on the tool as recommended by Bulletproof (I think.. correct me if wrong please)

I know they said they were working on a shape/scuffer for these tips, but it'd have to be pretty damn good to justify purchasing on top of a $30 tip.

Of course he is not going Asia. Don´t give home court edge to opponent and then there is security issues. Like getting robbed etc..
Kaci is not bs guy and he is definitely playing those matches and most likely bet his own. He is just make statement because people think he is sore loser because wax gate. I would take Kaci if i was betting. he can lost 1 or max 2 from 5 matches if opponents are 5 different players.

You don’t call out an entire country and then demand to play in a place where they can’t get visas, especially when you know they can’t. That just makes you a weak chihuahua, all bark and no bite.

Joss HP shaft question

Callaghan
I own and regularly play the HP shaft…I’ve got one in kielwood and on in rock maple. Not sure what you’re after, but both of mine are 12.75mm at the tip, the taper is on the money, and the hit is solid. Until recently, I was parlaying LePro tips on these shafts. I just discovered Kami clear tips, and I’m not looking back. Deflection is low, and craftsmanship is quality. I feel Iike you can’t go wrong. That said, I have not played a wide array of low deflection wood shafts, so your mileage may vary, as they say.

Wanted: Butt cap for Predator K Series Classics 2-2 Pool Cue

R
I have an older K Series Classics 2-2 cue that has a crack in the butt cap. Other then that the cue is fine so I don't see any reason to replace it. I would like to replace the butt cap though if I could. I called Predator and they said they could not help me since they do not see butt caps individually. I was hoping they would connect me with the factory, who could send me one but no luck there.

Does anyone know how or where I can get one? I would prefer to have the original butt with the Predator logo. TIA.
