For the Reyes Cup.

Biado gets the automatic spot for top Filipino player.

Capito gets the automatic spot for top ranked Asian player.

SVB gets the top American spot.

FSR gets the top Euro spot

For a few months my oldest brother's pool cue of choice was the butt end of an aluminum pool cue wrapped with electric tape then some friction tape over that to the best of my memory ha ha
He loved to get into fights too way more than I ever did .

Bump for a great priced player

Will he play?

Unless he gets picked for ROW in the Reyes Cup, he is not going to go to Philippines.

He played in the Philippines Open last year. Lost to Bustamante. He’ll be there again. Then fly to Qatar for the Qatar Open a few days later.

I also expect Gorst to be on Team World at the Reyes Cup with SVB, FSR, Filler - not sure who the final pick would be.

Since Freddie has shot down my Rogan theory, here is another one. Some cities (or maybe its the venue) have regulations in place for certain types of events (such as sporting events or concerts) requiring that the organizer hire off duty police officers for security.

I am with this, G. It’s probably the same group of officers that are for the PD security detail for Comerica (right next door). For the rest of us… We’ve been in shadier areas. Like the Executive in Louisville!

Everything suggests this is a local city thing as part of the permit. Because these guys are wearing flack jackets, but they’re not doing any questioning or anything like that. It has to be a city ordinance or a city permit thing.

I don't know that it "messes up my real game", but the game I'm playing sure isn't the same game...

Still looking? Tom Wirth has books and DVD's if you do not already have them. If you want more info I can give you his contacts. His One Pocket A Game Of Controlled Aggression is excellent...and a future collectable.

There are at least six of them at times. Very strange.

If the cue doesn't break when you clobber somebody with it then it's probably a good hitter.

If it breaks it is meant to be replaced

cuesblues said:

There are a lot of variables in that theory like the force used on the swing compared to the force used when clobbering somebody and actually damaging the cue

Use the cue as an impact tool...go for the abdomen.

House cues are not good hitters in a bar fight,

Bumperless cues are good for that

I’m soooo confused.

If the 5 ball is orange it doesn’t matter.

Just remember, never chalk up before you misque.

Oh don't worry, I always wait until I misque before I chaulk...
