Extra Deflection on Mosconi Cup Table??

I like to use ”squirt” for the initial CB deflection angle off the tip (since that is the correct use of the term). For the important description of how far the CB is off at the OB from the cue direction, to be clear, I like to use “net CB deflection” (the combined effects of squirt and swerve).

Yes, we need different words/phrases for both the immediate angle and for the final result, so we can communicate clearly about them.

I was just reminiscing when I wrote that post about the RSB Google Group, my very first experience with social media, long before I emigrated to AZBilliards. Smorgie invited me to come here. I was pretty green back then and hadn't yet learned about the lasting repercussions of words in print. I took a few lumps along the way from some well-timed sucker punches by the local monkeys. :)

This was in the era of dial-up modems. When I posted on RSB, it could take half a day or more for my message to appear. Meanwhile, Lou and a few others had already upgraded to faster bandwidth, so their posts showed up instantly. I remember one time Lou took a jab at me in response to something I'd written, and his reply appeared immediately. My fingers were itching to fire back, and I did, but then came the wait and the wait and the wait for my reply to finally post. Those back-and-forths were pretty historic in their own way, and some of the old RSB crowd have passed away, but there's still a lot of them here on AzBilliards today.

Good grief, woman!

Let's not get all sentimental and sloppy and weepy about those days gone by, lol.

Well, shoot. OK, maybe just a little:

They don't have to put ppl in. Doesn't have to be the hall of very good

Except they have put a player in, sometimes two, every single year. They won't skip over Jayson/simply not choose anyone when he turns 40 because they don't think his resume is good enough. He has the resume and certainly enough fame/influence on the game required to get in.

From the BCA HoF website:

"The purpose of the Billiard Congress of America Hall of Fame is to honor outstanding people who, through their competitive skills and dedication, have enriched our sport and industry.

Two categories have been established in Billiard Congress of America's Hall of Fame. The Greatest Player category shall be reserved for outstanding players who have been active in national or international competition for at least 20 years and have won at least one national or international championship."

Introducing the new Bitman rack 😳

Bavafongoul
Pagulayan comes in a box of two so it really less than $30 for a piece of chalk…….more like $11-12.

Better yet is Walmart…….they sell TAOM Billiard Chalk……it is the same thing as V10……a slightly
different color but close……applies the same as V10……just as clean and lasts as long…..I bought some.

You can get TAOM Billiard chalk at Walmart for $5 each as a 4 pack purchase……..quite a bit lower than $30
but even so, Pagulayan chalk costs 60% less and I play with all three chalks………great chalk does cost less.

So many tips to choose from.

Tips, shafts, whatever...

No technology from the last 100 years has changed performance.
Meucci shafts and moori tips. Useless.

Everything after has been some version of the same thing.

Just put whatever you want together and bang away.

This is a result of not knowing how to properly use your equipment.... or a lack of ability to properly use it.
Anyone with acquired knowledge and experience can tell the difference between a quality tip and a run of the mill tip. ;)

both frye and takayama got brain injuries iirc. the japanese liked to put big mf's in the ring against proper fighters. bob sapp was another one, he was even bigger than takayama and they put him against nogueira. i don't follow MMA anymore but the early days were very entertaining

Check out post 434, crocop broke Sapp's orbital bone, most of the giant fighters were gimmicks aside from Schilt and Hongman Choi who had their own k1 rivalry, Schilt posts his own funny clips on instagram. Pride worked because MMA had just taken off like a rocket and it was mixed in with rings, pancrase, Japanese pro wrestling, K1, sambo, jiu jitsu and some olympic wrestling/judo medalists. Japan also had an elite boxer and throwing Butterbean and rulon gardner into the mix was just whacky but it worked!

Pennington & Arguello splits top prizes at Appalachian Iron Man event at JOB Billiards

azhousepro
Cody Pennington and Luis Carlos Arguello entered the AZBilliards database for the first time this past weekend (Nov. 29-30). They both went undefeated in their respective Split Brackets of the Appalachian Iron Man tournament that drew 90 entrants to JOB Billiards in Madison, TN. Arguello had the longer trip, having to get by six opponents in the 62-entrant High Side bracket to advance to a Final Four, as his eventual opponent in the finals, Cody Pennington, had to face only four, competing in the 28-entrant High Side bracket. The two met in the hot seat of a Final Four bracket, […]
