China Open

So the breaker had a 59% win rate in the tournaments used as examples.
This makes it sound like alternate break and winner break is somewhat even when it comes to outcome.
Is this due to all the break rules that have been put in place over the years?
What was the breaker win % without rule changes like the 3-point rule, break box, etc.?

Thoughts on players who seemingly take Zero practice strokes, before shooting / final follow through?

Ok. You should the indicate the shot line by paralleling the contact line from center ball.
Yeah if you take a parallel line through center cue ball to the red line. That's the aim line. You can also imagine parallel lines to the red line on the two edges of the cue ball to see its path.

The sharper the angle of the shot the further off center the shown red line will be.

Why don't more bars lease Diamond pool tables?

Yes everything is some things are worse than others ha ha !

If you're ever bored try driving across Montana from one end to another , and I live darn close to the middle of the state .
Its like 700-800 miles, isn't it? I did a couple of marathon drives a few years ago. First was Wisconsin to Maryland, on a Friday and a Saturday, that was 1610 miles total, then the summer after Wisconsin to Detroit, that was one day and 845 miles, both were grueling. The problem seems like with traversing Montana is that there just isn't much to see but Earth and sky.

Why don't more bars lease Diamond pool tables?

The place I play has all Diamonds, 9’s in the front and 7’s in the back for leagues. The guy that owns the place is a Diamond Dealer as well as owning a table
moving/repair/recovering business. Even he has a hard time keeping the bar boxes in good shape, those league people beat those tables to death.

He’ll recover them all and within a week the damage to the new cloth from bangers getting food stains on it because they can’t seem to reconcile that if you want to eat chicken wings, you should eat your wings, wash your hands and then reconvene play seems lost on the drunken league animals. They don’t respect anything.
Or use the pockets as a drink holder.
