since I live just outside of San Antonio, I’m very disappointed that the Mosconi players probably won’t be there. Fans lose as usual. Will definitely still be attending the event !!

confirms it isn't a consistent pause

An indicator of having different gears.

Or perhaps the dance analogy of dancing a waltz or the mambo.
Different situations call for a different style.
If I am facing a straight forward conect the dots out going too slow can get me into trouble. Of course the same for too fast. So the Goldie Locks speed is variable depending on what condition my condition is in.

If you have the time I would point you to the BU exams but given you're only playing 10 hours a week I'm going to point you to Bowliards. One set should take you about 30-45 minutes and will give a general idea of how you play. Don't think you'll play one set and know where you stand, play 10 sets over a 5 day period and post your results, and we'll tell you where you stand.

There is a website devoted to it; however, I have not used it, I have either used a piece of paper for scoring or used an online bowling calculator and screenshotted the end result.

This is the bowliards website..

The Funnest Game in Pool | Bowlliards

www.bowlliards.com

This is the only calculator I have used online...

Bowling Score Calculator 30

A bowling score calculator to help you keep score or adjust a score in any frame. A simple but powerful tool that allows multiple games, handicap score, maximum score and much more.

IMHO, the ghost is good for people who can run the table (either occasionally or consistently), if you can only run the table 1 in 10 times the ghost will always win and will teach you nothing, bowliards will give a more finite idea of where you stand.

fargorate says im a 450 with no robustness.

1/10 is probably pretty generous for me, maybe 1/20 is more accurate, but when i play the ghost i dont start counting til i win a rack. Then its time to knuckle down and try to get two more before losing three.

ive gotten close a couple times but still havent ever got there.

i think what it teaches me is pressure, of which i generally feel none.

hope you are well Sir Chilli

Not many bar tables in my area if any left, and if there are, they are most likely 6ft English pool tables in bad conditions and aren't in the kind of placed I would go to these days....

Although I prefer to shoot on a decent 9ft table with a solid player and just pay by the hour, the fun bar games were a lot of fun, especially if you're on a winning streak and stay on the table for an hour or two... I miss those night back in the 90s when I lived in NYC. And although I'm not a gambler, I would take a game playing for a drink, I got to drink a lot for free playing pool and darts...

I have a lot of fun playing in NYC.

Except some of the old heads there play by the worst bar rules ever. I was 7 balls ahead of my opponent and "table scratched", he said I automatically lost because I didn't touch the 8. I wouldn't have cared that much but he was gloating as if he broke and ran against me lol.

Another quirk I come across sometimes is "one spot", where if your opponent scratches you can only place the cue ball on the head spot.

That being said, most bars where league players hang out attract good shooters. Blue Ruin, Sadie's Ward, Westside Tavern, etc. all have challenge tables that are Diamonds and they're loads of fun to play on.

I live in New York and I love challenge tables, especially places with Diamonds.

I know a lot of people on here look down on bar pool, but the competitive/social aspect of challenge tables at APA bars is a lot of fun to me (and cheap).
