Looking for VHS tapes of old Accu-Stats matches. Especially anything commentated by Billy and Grady. Would love to find anything from the 90s Sands Regency and/or U.S. Open. Reached out to AZBilliards on Reddit and they said they don't have any old VHS tapes lying around but I might have some luck here. Anyone looking to offload old VHS matches?

Where are you located?

I have a whole box of accustats etc VHS, 9-ball, banks, one pocket....

No, they exist, I have one

Ok I'm done with the subjective.

yes that is what causes a miscue.

but basically hitting the cue ball off center enough for the cue stick or cue ball to slip to the side.

but a hard tip tends to not hold chalk as well so may be more prone to a miscue if not chalked as often or properly.

Yeah, you’re correct on those points. You’re a player though, and being one, you and I both know that those extreme tip placements that are way off center are a fools errand, and a fool and his money are soon parted.

As far as holding chalk you’re correct, but if you chalk after every shot it’s a non issue. If you have a straight, pure stroke, hard tips provide a level of accuracy superior to others in my opinion. They also require nothing more than the occasional scuffing to maintain them after initial break in after installation.

that is an option. but all still bad ways to get around the fact that the break is no longer a random power shot which takes much of the excitement out of the game. ...

On the other side.... Both players are involved in every rack. It is more or less pointless to cheat with gaps and pattern racking. Triangle racking is sufficient, and break cues are not needed.

At least we agree that they are both composers.

Question:
You and the other super shooters, did you ever train on super tight pool pockets and in retrospect how much of a difference did they make?

Peart, adequate?!? Um no. IMHO he proved that the idiophone is a compositional instrument and his contribution to music is beyond reproach. He is the original math rock drummer. And there is no doubt that Anika is Kill-ing-it!

This in the context of Rush dun exactly come up with Mozart. He took the quantity approach with a zillion sounds and in all fairness, power trios take a whole lot more crafting than extra glitz and odd constructs. What can I say? The critic angle is mostly hype to me.

Incidentally, the rest of the music world has been busy crafting the music of rhythm for centuries.

Yes it did.

I had a pretty good cue before, now I have what I consider to be one of the very best around (Exceed with Ignite) and if I had to put a number on it my Fargo might have gone up 10 or 20 points after getting used to it.

I walked right into that one

I think they are both capable of running out every opportunity they get. They both have amazing cueballs and patterns. I think Tom has the edge with the shot clock for sure. The International 8-ball rules will only favor Tom in the rarest of circumstances. Justin is very familiar with these rules now. I also think Tom breaks better.

Tom has won several of these titles over here by this point. And some of them were in monster fields with a cue he borrowed. He's getting to KC in a couple of days and will have loads of practice time before the match, which is something he never does (and he still wins!)

I could see either player win this match by 10 games. I've been wrong before and I'm ok if I'm wrong again, but I'm betting my money on Tom.

You know they just released the GC7, right? Its cheaper and better than the GC6.

what rules? Cuz if it’s the lame-ass Ultimate Pool Rules, Iceberg will lose close on a technicality of the rules. Because they’re dumb. If International Rules means accepted WPA rules, which I don’t think that’s what they’re saying, then Bergman is a favorite in my opinion. But I think they’re doing those lame ass, dumb ass, stupid ass rules.

I will bet on Justin, but I ain’t holding my breath.

Can I ask why they bother you so much?
