Breakfast break...

Jimmy, my wife is visiting her mother for a couple of weeks, so I'm about to prepare a breakfast for myself which will be very much what you have here. The only difference will be there will be green chile on the egg and no scallion!

I have no afflictions with CSI. Your criteria for greatness seems to be different than mine, and that’s ok. Once again it’s all a Mater of opinion.

Yes, you made a lot of good points in your posts. Thanks for the input. SVB's greatness is a matter of fact, not a matter of opinion.

I think you made a good point about where Mosconi and Greenleaf should fit into this discussion. As noted in post 136, I tend to give extra credit to foundational players like Efren, Mosconi, Greenleaf and Strickland, and whether that's appropriate is certainly arguable.

In the end, I'm just glad to have had the opportunity to watch the greatest pool players for all these years. As fans, we are lucky to have so many events now having deep, internationally diverse, fields in which most of the game's best show up. So are the players, more than a few of whom can now make a decent living at this game for the first time. I would guess that there are now about twenty events annually that offer a first prize of $40,000+. Good times.

The first photo more accurately shows the veneer colors. New photos soon. 2027 price with complete custom joint protector set is 6k.

The TNS CF shafts pair nicely with these cues.

Take the phenolic tip break/jump cue and wipe off any chalk. Run the shot making drill. Give it an appropriate trial. Grade self and do it daily for a week.
Practice what I Preach is here.

I have no affiliations with CSI. Your criteria for greatness seems to be different than mine, and that’s ok. Once again it’s all a Mater of opinion.

I’m sure I’m missing something with this drill besides the ball I don’t see how this drill is going to fix my many flaws, it does show me my stroke is very inconsistent but it no way in hell it tells me how to fix my flaws.

To build a solid game you start with a solid foundation. Then balance.
You gotta crawl before walk. Start over and build from the ground up. Don't expect to enjoy desert before the broccoli (yuktongue).

Well tips is The Topic, sew....The Big EYE is....imagine the shot.
A tidbit from David Rhoades.
Once I do that while standing at parade rest, I paint by the numbers. The pre shot routine.
In the beginning its dance by the numbers. If I make it to the finals it's go with the flow. No need to count.

I do really like the quality of the Whitten cases but the one I posted about here is a 6x12.....

Holds chalk very well. The fit feels a touch softer than the Taom 2.0, I'd say its more comparable to the Kamui Kai or Zan double face. Also doesn't mark the cloth like the 2.0 did.

Have you used the double face as well? If so could you give a comparison between the two? Those are the two tips I’m trying to decide between. Thanks

I don't quite understand how they are doing the 3 hrs limit. My interpretation is below. The second option I don't have a guess.

Player A winning 2 games to 1, and winning the ball count in the current rack. A wins the match.
Player A wining 2 games to 1, but losing the ball count in the current rack. Unclear what happens to me.
Player A and B tied 2 games a piece (or 1 game a piece), and tied in ball count on current game. Next score change determines winner.
Player A and B tied 2 games a piece (or 1 game a piece), and Player A leading ball count on current game. A wins the match.
