Hail Mary Shot

Doing form work as a carpenter earned a good chunk of my retirement. 🤷‍♂️
The Jiu-jitsu form work is much lighter work. 😉 View attachment 941000View attachment 941001
Finding the balance and holding for 10 seconds is a little more of a challenge than I expected . Was a forced abort at the Snap on both attempts ... 🤔 seems like a morning's worth of fitness. 🤷‍♂️

Advice for ADHD Player vs Slow Player

Hail Mary Shot
Jude Rosenstock said:
I've found it only bothers me when people are slow when I don't respect the reason for being slow. Like, if you're straight in and a stop shot will serve just fine, I don't want to see you taking more than 20 seconds to figure it out. On the other hand, when I freeze you to that blocker and you've got to go six rails to kick out of it or you lose, it doesn't bother me at all that it's taken you ten minutes to map it out.

The trick on how to handle this is to maintain that respect. If they're straight in, assume it's off-angle. Assume there's something about the shot that you simply can't see. Stay in that mindset. Yes, this is a bit of a mental game but this is how you win that game.

How about those that kept on chalking on and off and stroking the cue up and down over and over for atleast a minute, going down on the shot, up again to further stroke and chalk the pool cue?

Lava Soap to Remove Stains on Cloth

rinsing out soapy water from cloth takes a lot more than a wet towel to sop it up and remove all the soap.

no way do you get the soap out of the cloth that way.

it may not matter though but the rails and cloth will never be soap free.

if you have to go that far why not recover the table or tables.

but if banger tables then they will just ruin them back anyway. so it may be better than nothing to do that.

Yes, you do have to make sure you rub out all the soap with a very wet towel after scrubbing the soap in the cloth with a firm brush and plenty of water. I can assure you once you do and once the cloth is dry with the help of a fan set at the end of the table, it looks awesome with no damage at all to the cloth, and plays great.

According to Ernesto, who’s opinion I trust, it doesn’t do any harm to the cloth or even to the wooden subrails. Oscar does this on his tables at Hard Times in Sacramento, one of the best poolrooms in the country.
