This isn’t the NFL. Why is it many that constantly want to tweak rules, essentially making the game into something it’s not, always want to point to other sports to support this lunacy?

The break has been a CONSTANT whine fest since Cory spanked Mika in that US Open final years ago. It has gone as far as alternating breaks at points, which takes away the key aspect of this game, controlling the table. Supporters of that point to tennis.

Bottom line, this isn’t other sports, it’s the cruelest one in its true form, it’s why many of us chose to start to play it. If you don’t like the game, play another one. If you don’t like watching it, watch a different one. As @HawaiianEye said in the second post, you can’t just keep changing the rules.

If you don't like the people using new rules, don't play, don't watch, or make your own rules...

If you build it they will come. lol

Can’t say I’m worried about. My resting heart rate right now is like 50 bpm. Rules get tweaked all the time in sports. NFL is constantly changing rules.

Obviously, she's a high class lady who knows the right word is "bate." How she ended up with a basement dweller is anybody's guess.

Of course, there is the possibility that you know this and were making a joke in which case... nevermind!

Actually the term should be 'with bated breath'

He owns beach front property in Shaws head at this point. He’s just blasted him in several recent events.

I bet you're a blast at parties.

Parties? A party for me is being a good role model for children, going to church, talking about Jesus, pondering God, helping the needy, being part of sincere conversations, a good night at the pool room, and being with and supporting my family and friends. Like the Apostle Paul said, let us live in the light, with sober minds (summarized). For you beginners at religion, what does "live in the light" mean? In a basic sense, it means doing only what you would want anyone and everyone, including God, to see and hear.

I'm sorry but this doesn't make much sense to me. Are you saying that different atmospheric conditions (say a wet vs a dry table) causes
a given shaft, LD or HD, to cause a different amount of CB squirt than it normally does? That's a new one. AFAIK changing table conditions primarily result in less/more bed speed and different CB reactions (angle and speed) off rails.

If that's true, wouldn't it wreak havoc with your (bridge length/BHE) assertions, or does it automatically adjust for humidity as well as CIT, etc. etc.

I haven't noticed much difference in between conditions and I've traveled and played all over the country and in many places throughout the world; however, many people have reported difficulty adjusting to conditions when they're not used to the extremes. Florida and Arizona are extremes.

I was using that as a potential example for those people. Let me put it another way. The only benefit to ld technology is that CBs path is closer to the original aimline, so the deviation for adjusting for side spin is less. Any time an adjustment is finer in scope it will be less affected by uncontrollable variables, like dirty balls, cloth, or environmental conditions like excess humidity, extremely dry conditions, etc.

Any variability will have less effect due to the minimized disalignment from the shotline.

Now mind you, this is less true for people who use BHE. I really don't want to get into the details of it right now, I'm kinda tired, just got home from taking my wife out, but I do hope that the above cleared up what I meant a little bit.
