@RyanJunker posted in the wanted section looking for a 12.4 revo
i sent a PM and pics
we communicated about the shaft in one post in the PM
since then absolutely no communication in spite of me commenting back in his thread about not hearing from him
and he definitely has been on the site multiple times since the last pm and my post in his thread
i guess i am old fashioned to expect an answer yes or no from the person involved in a transaction

Let me get this right, you reply on a looking for item post and you’re expecting people to reply? Did you give him a special discount or 1/2 price. is there rule or something special about ya to get him to answer your reply? I’m asking because I did ignore many people for their trade/ low balled offer/ or cue offer. I’m curious what’s your offer, if he won’t take it maybe I’ll buy it

Be careful with people with new account. Lots and lots of scammers from Facebook have emerged, and I banned them regularly. Please be sure to use alternative way to verify buyer or seller by video live chat. Or else pay with good and service, don’t get scam out of your hard earned moneys.

Why the suspenders and a belt?

Max Eberle is not even in the top 30 in the US. That would put him at somewhere around #500 in the world. He has been playing very little pro pool the last 10 years.

I was referring to the year he was traveling with the team and in the end got taken off for, IIRC, Justin Bergman.

To bad they didn't include Thorsten on this years Team USA. I'd pick him over at least three of the others chosen. If green card Gorst is on the team, then why not a real American citizen!

To be fair, this is the first time Thorsten has looked in form in a very, very long time. I enjoy watching him play but let's not pretend as if he's been lighting the pool world on fire like he was about 10-15 years ago. Although I will agree with you, I would take him over a few of the players on the team.

And since we are on the subject, I have to ask. Is it just these five guys on the team with Woodward being player-captain? Do they not have a captain only role?

Forgot to add, I do not know what people feel about them, but I played with a Cuetec R360 shaft and it was pretty good. I do not know if they make them anymore but if you can find one, I would pick it up if you go with a Cuetec cue.

If he or anyone can put me in touch with Sammy, I potentially have a match for him. 8 ball last pocket on bar table.

8 ball last pocket.
I was going to tell you to call Ritchie Idrovo but I discovered he is no longer with us.
He was the guy to call for last pocket 8 ball in that area for many years.

The rules regarding the issue have nothing to do with pocket spitting.

As some of you read on the 106 Breaks & 7 Chances thread I attempted to slow roll the 6B up about 8-10 inches the other night and missed it to the right.

So, tonight, I attempted a drill for slow rolling as shown in the diagram above. And every time I tried to slow roll the CB through the 3B and 1B the CB went to the left. Every time. The only time I got the CB through was when I made a conscious effort to aim to the right.

Thoughts?

There is a short video from Dr Dave billiards called cut induced throw on YouTube, I tried to send you a link but it wouldn't let me, just Google it and it should take you right there, if you haven't seen any of his videos you are in for a treat.

I'm currently dealing with this personally with my pool game. It's called discipline. But I'm making remarkable progress.
Check out my progress in the videos I just posted
Find links in this thread: "Champion/Pro or Shortstop/Amateur/Banger. It's your choice."

The book has nothing to do with discipline, you can't possibly know what you don't know, it's not a long book and quite entertaining at the same time but you do what you think is best for you and good luck with your game

Exactly!
When the tables were too busy I played foosball. Same deal, winners stay on the table. Some nights I never got back to the pool table.

Ahhhh

Yes, the OP raised the question about the rules of play

It was tough pickings this year, Jay.

Other than Fedor, just two Americans reached the final day of a Matchroom major. Tyler Styer had a super-impressive third place finish at the UK Open that included a win over Filler in the quarterfinals and that performance alone makes him a logical choice. Also, Tyler played well at the 2024 Mosconi. SVB came second at the Florida Open, a new Matchroom major, losing a hotly contested final to Yapp, the hottest player on the planet. Gorst's inclusion is somewhat obvious. Not sure how you leave any of these three out.

Admittedly, neither Woodward nor Thorpe posted a Top 16 finish in a Matchroom major this year, but Skyler, surely by virtue of being America's best Mosconi Cup performer over the past decade, was named captain and did not have many good options for the fifth pick. FYI, Hohmann's Fargo rate is is not much higher than Thorpe's. I wish he'd gone young with Lukas to build for the future, but it's hard to fault Skyler for the Billy pick.
