Shooting Over/Across A Template

Black-Balled

I remove it ASAP after the break. I don't like it, it's a visual distraction. I don't want to see extra stuff on the table and I also don't want my opponent to have more info to triangulate with.

And there's nothing worse than when the occasional ball rolls off over it or it causes a ball to snuggle up and freeze to another. I've seen the CB roll off of it and freeze to the back of another ball, completely snookering the player. It's rare but if you play enough you will see all kinds of oddities.

I'll take the extra 5 seconds not to chance it. 😅

But we're just as likely to see a good roll from the template as a bad roll, no?

Accentuate the positive! Go for it!!

Interestingly, three SMEs in the pool world—Mike Panozzo, Phil Capelle, and Pat Fleming—praised Mike Sigel’s commentary.

Would those same three people happen to consider themselves personal acquaintances of Mike? 😜

As I watched some of the events the YouTube chat was extremely annoyed by his flavor of commentary. And I’m in a few Facebook messenger chats with notable pool fans and all they could talk about was how annoying Sigel’s commentary was. And you also could see the same echoed across Social Media.

I want to pay the man his dues and give his legacy respect. But he earned that on the table, not in the commentary booth. There are people out there significantly more skilled at the most important aspect of commentary… keeping the audience engaged.

Youth ''In The Booth''

Not me.

With age comes wisdom... OK, sometimes age comes alone, lol.

My point being that baby players, even pros, lack the experience and insight most viewers are looking for and appreciate from the commentary booth. Do some guys go on too long about "back in the day?" Sure. But if delivered properly and appropriately those war stories are great and part of our collective history as pool players.

I don't think they mean full-time. Personally i love when you have active competitors making appearances in the booth. Gives a different perspective and a chance for fans to get to know them.

Improve your game - AcCueShot Billiard Training and Practice Device

DMaurer
Improve your game by improving your aim with the AcCueShot Target Practice Device.

AcCueShot™ is a small electronic device that is placed on the far rail of a billiards table. On the front of the AcCueShot™ device is an illuminated target bar for the player to aim at. On the face of the AcCueShot™ device are three indicators: center-bullseye, left-arrow and a right-arrow. The player stands at the opposite side of the billiards table and then aims and shoots the cue ball at the AcCueShot™ target bar. Utilizing its infrared optics and microprocessor, AcCueShot™ calculates where the cue ball hit the rail with respect to the target bar and illuminates the appropriate indicator; left-arrow if left of target, right-arrow if right of target and bullseye if on target. In addition, AcCueShot™ has a built-in speaker that will emit a unique sequence of tones for each condition (left, right and bullseye hits).
