Razzle was a little different. With razzle you can shoot out of rotation and it would count as long as another ball struck the lowest ball on the table...whereas with rotation you had to strike the lowest ball first and then anything made counted. Played tons of razzle, same as rotation, 1 and 5 partners... $.25 -.50 per way and per scratch. Razzle was very local, grew up on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, you must have been pretty local as well.

he's trying too hard to make wood look good, thats why he is cherry picking, meanwhile I wont cheery pick here ill just state facts.

First of, i didn't say a guy who plays with wood wouldnt win, all I said is that a great champion who uses wood will win, occesionaly, he will NOT dominate....but if he changes to CF then he'll start dominating more, which is something we kept seeing years over years, and i am sure that in 2030 more and more players will switch and the skill level will icnrease even more....

If you noticed the last few yrs alot of players have become more elitest, the skill have risen, all due to CF shafts and the new tech.

Ok here's facts, undisputed, unchallenged, are you ready?

here are men ranking as of today, it takes into consideration all major tournaments plus, to the right ill write if they use wood or cf.

1 Szewczyk, Wojciech (CF)
2 Biado, Carlo (wood)
3 Maciol, Daniel (CF)
4 Gorst, Fedor (CF)
5 Filler, Joshua (CF)
6 Kazakis, Alexander (CF)
7 Yapp, Aloysius (CF)
8 Zielinski, Wiktor (wood)
9 Oi, Naoyuki (CF)
10 Sanchez-Ruiz, Francisco (CF)
11 Ouschan, Albin (CF)
12 He, Mario (wood)
13 Grabe, Dennis (CF)
14 Kural, Szymon (CF)
15 Teutscher, Marco (CF)
16 Kasper, Stefan (CF)
17 Al-Awadhi, Bader (CF)
18 Wu, Kun-Lin (wood)
19 Lechner, Maximilian (CF)
20 Souto Comino, Jonas (CF)

Lets do a small calculation here, 4 out of 20 using wood, while 16 out of 20 using cf, to convert cf usage into percentage -> 16/20 *100 = Thats 80% out of the top players using carbon fiber, you can calculate this with your eyes, its not a coincidence and here there's no trickery or cherry picking. Facts don't lie.

Hey there, if you're willing/interested, send me your zip code, menu with prices, etc and I'll take a look. I've got 20 years in hospitality at everything from a pool hall to michelin star. I'm happy to see if theres some simple ways to simply the menu while also offering a wider range of things (I know it sounds counter-intuitive, but I promise its not) and if theres anything that catches my eye that might be quick and easy things you can do.

also, somebody else mentioned they get a lot of retirees during the day, which was a great point/idea. Any chance theres a retirement community (not nursing home) nearby you could flyer with some daytime specials?

Not sure if your question is one of determining what the cut angle is or where to aim after you have determined the cut angle.

It is possible to estimate the cut angle to within a couple of degrees using stick measurement techniques. Given the cut angle in degrees, the aim point is the same number of mm from the CB center, up to 30 degrees, and 4 mm thereafter.
