Nice post! It might take a slightly different approach to be the best in the world, as opposed to the 10th guy in your local room.

It does! Start playing snooker at age 7, win your first tournament at age 9, and make your first century break at age 10.
Or start playing golf at age 3, appear in Golf Digest at age 5, and start breaking records from there on.
Make it your career and full time job and devote most of your waking hours to it.
That should set you on the right route. You'll find if do that, you're on your way. Probably won't need the psych coaches until much, much later.

The dimensions listed don’t make sense if they are the outside of the rails. Seem too small for a 9’. It’s either a pro 8 or the measurements are wrong.

Yeah, I thought it was poorly written. I think it is just the one table as well after further review. I'm too far away. Just thought I'd throw it up here in case anyone close by was looking.

My absolute favorite thing in 9B is shitting it in. I don't like 10B but if my opponent grumbles about it I'll say "That's why I play 10B for money." Which I don't but it's a funny thing to say. If my opponent shits it in I honestly don't care because I can do it too.

I also have a lot of fun trying some super low percentage shot on the 9B while simultaneously playing safe. Free rolls are fun, especially if they get you BIH afterward. This tactic is especially fun to use on the 500-550 fargo players who think 10B is the only legitimate rotation game, but couldn't run one rack of 9B/10B out of 30. For some reason they hate the idea of slop or creative percentage play but win no more games in a call pocket game.

I swear if I saw normal "easy" pattern routes the way I do slim chance weird ass 9 ball rides I'd be a dangerous player.

We can be friends!

All my local TD’s want to eliminate luck. No one locally can run 3 racks on a barbox, or 2 on an 9’ including the TD’s.

Crazy to take luck and creative 2 way shots away.

Wow!! I'd like to hit a few with one.

I had an Adam Rubber Duck that came with a fat tip. 13+ or 14. Never measured it. Anyway it was very forgiving of banging. Big radius, minimal unintended spin.

If no score at all times, don’t even upload. Matches are completely unwatchable without, even if it’s Efren vs Parica in 1987.

Commentary maybe just 1 or 2 matches for fun. Way too much work otherwise, for little or no payback. Maybe have Earl do it. He’s awesome behind the mic and knew all the players.

Please make sure the aspect ratio is correct. I saw someone on YouTube post matches from the 80’s and he stretched them all out to 16:9, ruining them.

Thanks for letting me be a beggar and chooser
