I don't see pool(or any other game/sport) as some racially charged sociology experiment. It is what it is. There just aren't many black players just like only about 7% of MLB players are black. Why?? Don't know and don't really give a fk. This whole dumpster-fire of a thread belongs in NPR. Or better yet the trash.

You, calling the Award winning NPR as being a Zoo, says everything about you. You have something against NPR, evidently they are too liberal for you, but you do realize that NPR is among the most popular radio programs in the country, with a network of more than 1,000 public radio stations, and has corporate sponsors from all over the country, right.? I bet you think that they are stupid, but YOU’RE SMART, huh? Stick to Pool, please, you’re too ignorant and uninformed to be criticizing the Network that has 54% being college graduates, and 21% having some college, and was voted the most trusted news source in the United States. You bashed NPR twice, during a Pool conversation! You, Idiot.

Yeah, the one that shocked me was the test where they put impact tape on putter faces of tour players vs scratch golfers. Impact dispersion was significant- seemed like slug vs buckshot. How do you train that fine a skill? Really good players aren’t having seizures when they putt. But the tour pros made it seem like that. Maybe the pros are robots and the ams very good humans.

and that is the same thing with the cue ball.

Hi sjm,

I love reading your posts and your Indepth knowledge of the history and players of the game, but I am curious how you are able to travel to all these matches. With the upmost respect may I ask what you do (or don't do) for work that gives you the availability to make it to these events? No problem if you don't want to answer, Thanks

my vote......black with white specks.

There's nothing wrong with getting a deal, I got mine for free, just had to pay for shipping. Although that 'deal' may be over now?

I’m not an Animal, Asshole. It’s obvious that you are uncomfortable discussing matters of Race, but keep your ignorant, racist, regencies, to your Damn self, Neanderthal Knuckle-dragger. I don’t need your permission to give my opinion, I spoke about the subject at hand, giving my opinions, but I never called you out of your name, Idiot. Can’t you discuss Pool, without insulting others when you have different opinions? Where did you go to school? Have you ever heard of a Debate?

Are you having trouble understanding logic?

I had a dye job that wore though after only few years (It was a black with white specks originally). I suggest black EE for the win!!

SVB definetly is hitting ''at'' the cue ball on draw strokes, not through, trying to get as much power upon impact and not dropping the elbow.And of course he's going to drop the elbow a little(and therefore create a small follow) through since he's throwing a weight forward.What is in general considered a follow through is 6-9 inches after the cue ball and he's nowhere near doing that.

Please show where follow through is considered 6-9 inches after the cueball, where did you get that figure from?

Not because you say so, you can go in the trash with it. Your views aren’t more important than anyone else’s, but facts are true, and Pool has a past that definitely looked at Color and Race. They called it “The Filipino Invasion” when Patrica and Efren came to America, and changed the game forever. If Pool was Color-blend, what did The Filipino players invade, Genius?

mike has a siliconed cueball. do you really think a person can do those things with a plain old cueball you get at the pool room.
its a trick shot.
and i dont have trouble drawing my cueball. i dont do it often for various reasons.

I've seen my friend do it many times, his speed of stroke is pro level and he can draw and follow like the pro's

SSP said:

It doesn’t always have to be a big draw shot, what if you need to draw or follow 3" to get shape on the game winning ball and you can't be off by 1/4"? You should not be using draw or follow unless you need to for shape, just because you hit low on the cueball does not make that a draw stroke, sometimes I do that just to slow the cueball down to get shape, in golf you use many different clubs to move the ball around, in pool you have one stick, for the most part, and you use many different strokes to move the ball around .
