looks nice and spacious.
In my neck of the woods they cram more tables to a point that it's not fun at all at some clubs. but places are big and they have many tables so even on busy weekend nights you can get a table easily.
No 7ft, tho only 9ft pool and a mixture of 9ft, 20ft and (some places) 12ft snooker tables.

Most bars do not have pool tables, very rare to find one.

I stay away from those 20ft tables. :)

Where is the rule banning the "lift stroke" and the "sideways stroke" for close balls?

if you see it in a tournament you can stop it and find a ref or t.d. to not let it happen.

in a cash gambling game all you can do is try to stop it if you havent already said it before you start.
unless you somehow state in the game is to be tournament rules and by which organization.

in a cash game all those things go on and not worth arguing about. if a guy wants to take a foul say by touching the cue ball with his ferral so what.

Pivot Point

If you've run 100 at any point in your life, you know the game inside and out. Full stop.
The OB Classic from what I recall is mildly low deflection, but not as low as the 314 series of Predators, or the current Predator Revo series.

Switching to a cue with a longer pivot point (which means less deflection), IDK if it will actually improve your game. But it's really easy to do, IMO, having done it myself. Your brain will re-adjust to the new aiming lines quite quickly.

On the other hand, and I'm contradicting myself here, I find it about impossible to adjust the other way, and go from a Predator cue to a normal house cue with high deflection.

I agree with you.

I think more people have a problem going from low deflection to high deflection than vice versa.

Just to put this in perspective based on your questions. I am 83 and trying to maintain or better a 585 Fargo by playing in 2 eight ball leagues a week using a parallel aiming system. One pocket is my favorite game but I do not get a chance to play it much. My custom cue is Alex Brick/John Davis with an OB Classic shaft. Using a home table I practice several times a week trying to improve specific shots. I don't gamble except for chump change. Many years ago I ran over a 100 straight pool and 7 racks of 9 ball. So basically I'm trying to get a little better before 'gravitation' takes its final toll.

Why not switch the position of the 1 and 9 in 9-ball to make it more interesting?

These guys patently eschew big omelets (my new expression for BnR packs). All the guys on tour pass all kinds of bnrs. I think they'd rather stay in the game than blow it on glory. They will economize fuel and systematically work the opposition, picking off the inevitable gains.

Buddy Hall said he ran six (I heard one handed behind the back but that's not reliable info), ran six and who beat him?

Have no idea where this goes. I'd frankly rather string 50 racks every time I get up. :p

This is funny, you start with you weren't aware that members here are retarded and then proceed to state something that makes your OP moot... You can't make this $h17 up.

Yeah... makes sense, most special olympics contestants aren't aware that they're really special until it's pointed out.

All jokes aside, ya gotta have a thick skin around here buddy, trust me. This is over 20 years of regular posting talking.

I like over the table lighting.

I hate ceiling lighting.

Pool is supposed to be played in a dark setting.

Why?

Because I said so. :)

When I grew up, pool halls were dark and recreation centers were well lit.

Pool halls had beer, gambling, unsavory characters, etc.

Recreation centers had Dr. Peppers, no gambling, and unsupervised kids getting Cheeto dust on the tables.

I like pool halls.

I like the room itself to be dark but not the table itself
