After you win a game a pool...

Of course an inanimate object like a table can’t be “disrespected.” Objects never care. But what things represent to people in this case the games history and image of the game/sport to people watching can. The line of what’s acceptable and dignified always shifts, and usually slides in the wrong direction. That’s the whole point of my comment about people looking for the clicks & likes. That’s a trait that was around long before social media but is now magnified and now normalized. It cheapens a culture’s values and rewards fake-as-fuck moments. Climbing on tables feels less like raw emotion and more like a scripted TV stunt. If cosplay is our plan to “juice” the sport, we’re in bigger trouble than I thought. I get it, I’ll never win an argument or debate on what is “normal” in a society.

Scratch by Chang in the 9th rack is going to hurt. Not sure Shane has found his rhythm though, has been making the 1 on the break consistently but not the layouts he'd like. Edit: Shane then scratched on his kick on the 2 after the break, ouch.

The equipment is a inanimate object that cant be disrespected, we who love the game regard it as more, but its just a table. I think it seems a little rehearsed but, no harm no foul.

The sport needs juice even ifs a little silly looking, if it reminds someone whos watching of the Nascar drivers standing on top of their cars maybe they'll tell someone about and we'll gain a new fan...,

Where do you draw the line?

OP has 4 separate threads listing this cue for sale.
OP has 5 separate threads listing another Tasc for sale.

Posting in the main forum may have been an oversight...or not.

I think you are right…..maybe overzealousness, poor computer connection that was slow so he tried several times or he could be a jerk. Regardless, he should ask the Mods to clean up his mess and he should have already done that by now.

SVB Shorter Cue

Island Drive
Two weeks ago, I picked up a house cue 18 oz good tip/straight, I really remember, liked and felt a few shots, just like the old days.
Then today....
I saw this comment he'd just made. ''so I decided to stop using the extension to see if it would help my rhythm''

It makes allot of sense, he began with a 58".
Reinspired.... perfect timing for the US Open eh.... Stu :).

I'll take 10-1 that SVB wins the US Open only if I can bet $500.
