Chicago pool happenings

Now show me moving views from a mile before in each direction. Your little handycam photo isn't a very good representation. I have to say, judging from your other posts I expected a little more from you. Why are you so triggered over this in the first place, did you call Cabrini Green home??
Thinking of Cabrini, or the old Robert Taylor homes? Now they were an epic slum along the Ryan.

My TAOM V10 Blue chalk goes to 11..

I've been using the green version of this chalk for years, have no reason to change, I've read quite a few reviews of people who have used the blue version and say it's different, the most common comment I've seen is that it feels creamier than the green and leaves marks on the cueball, TAOM says it's the same formula, my first thought was why would a reputable company like TAOM lie about it being the same formula if it wasn't? What would they have to gain by lying, didn't make any sense, my second thought was why would some guys on a pool forum lie about how it felt to them? That didn't make sense either, so I bought a round of the blue V10 and have been using it for the last 11 days for at least an hour a day, did it feel creamier? Yes, did it leave more marks on the cueball, Yes, but most of the marks would go away on their own, I can attribute some of that to the blue version being a darker blue and the green being a lighter green, so I've been pondering why did TAOM lie about not changing the formula, then it hit me, what if the formula of the dyes used to color the chalk was causing the change, it took me back to science class, oxygen is 2 atoms of oxygen or O2, ozone is 3 atoms of oxygen and if you breathe it will kill you, if one atom in a pure element can make that big of a difference what happens when you you mix a lot of different elements, logically it would have to cause more change, so what I've come to believe is both are true, TAOM didn't change the formula, but the dyes reacted differently with the untreated chalk, I can't prove it but it does make sense 😉
if you put spaces and paragraphs in your posts more people would read it

More Early Impressions Of The Diamond Professional

I have no idea who DCP really is so I can only work off of what he says and the pictures he posts. Every runnable table he posts is beyond runnable, it is wide open. Top players even upper level amateurs look at a table with one or two problems and decide how to solve those problems before their first shot. The plan may have to change on the fly but they have a plan to run out probably over fifty percent of racks when they make a ball on the break. That isn't to say how many they actually get out, but they have a plan.

If you don't have a plan to get out over 50% of racks after a break and a ball down, you need to diagram or photograph table layouts after breaks and practice pattern recognition and breaking up clusters. Some other good info out there but I can vouch for Lil Joe Villalpando's DVD's if you can get them. Gonna look around one day and not be able to get them. They will cover the basics and all of your posts on here indicate you being weak on the basics. You can't run before you can walk.

On the other hand, you have been around long enough to be world class and shitting all of us!

Sometimes I am in the mood to give advice and hope it helps somebody if not the person that it is addressed to.

Yapp’s Controversial Tournament-Winning Shot in the 8-Ball World Championship … Was it a Foul?

If the Ref sees the CB going off the tangent line of the 8 ball last, then they ARE calling what they see. Referees should have the highest level of knowledge of anyone when it comes to knowing how to tell a good hit from a bad one. In your theory, all Yapp had to do was hit the balls 100 miles an hour, then nobody could "see" which ball was hit first (or last)
At first I thought that also.
But the spin induced throw would not have grabbed.
Hell, Yapp had enough side spin on that even after contacting the 4 first the 8 still found the pocket!

Yapp’s Controversial Tournament-Winning Shot in the 8-Ball World Championship … Was it a Foul?

I have neither met nor played with Aloysius. I accept that he’s an honourable players and was waiting for the ref’s call.

However, I find it hard to believe he didn’t know he fouled. If most informed amateurs believed he fouled, I think he knows as much as they do and also believed he hit the 4 first.

That said, I do believe he felt that it was up to the referee and the referee called it good so he accepted the referee’s decision.
I agree, as a player you have to go with a Ref's call, but a big-time tournament should have Refs who have a clue what they're doing
