Whew figure I better get back in My room.
Ah where was I? The mathematical and the artistic. With a right and left comparison.

I remember the first time I saw Shaw about 12 years ago. I thought that he might become one of the true greats in time. Turns out to be just another example of there being nothing sadder than wasted talent, what a shame.

His pure shotmaking ability is genuinely insane, if only he had better table discipline.

This cue would be a great every day player and is in like new condition.

Control of speed to spin.
Gotta have The horsepower.
Gotta have The fine control providers being the fingers.

Can't go wrong at that price. I'd take a chance as well. You might get a decent player out of it. Not all imports were junk. Some I've seen played very well. All comes down to the maple.

I'm no cue snob. I knew some great players who played with inexpensive import cues.

I've been asked about such and such shot or complemented on this or that, but I can't recall most of what they're saying. Short term memory

I did not predict a "large contingent" of world champion players who would dominate our sport. What I do predict is a few top speed players who can compete with the other champions in a similar way as Hoang. From this group perhaps one or two will emerge as special, like the Ko brothers.

If Vietnam produced five of the Fargo Top 100 by 2030, that would be statement enough for me.

Having My Mind Right has always been my key to success. Well Survival is success in my book. I have my wilderness survival creds. First of 500 in 1 week training. 3 groups so 2nd week flight for me.
Ooops drifting down memory lane.
My on the table performance was best when I felt good about who I was and what I was doing.
Kinda comes under Religion or religious adhesion to principles.
Makes it easier to focus on the task at hand. Shrug
Training for fitness is my 1 hour a day on the table stretch and flex program.
A Sekf Rightchous attitude carries Powe er. Control of the power starts with self then the cueball.
Willie hoppe only got 1 ball for how long? And oh yeah he said, "look at whitey when you whack it."

That is what I say, too.

One foul BIH opened the doors for lots of defensive strategies.

It also added fairness and symmetry to the game. "Bar rules" pool is the worst because an intentional foul requires little strategy or dexterity to do successfully, which is ironic because bar rules players are against playing defense.

In games like back pocket 9/10 (and variations depending on spot), the usual rule is that if the money ball moves on *any* foul, the other player has the option of putting it back where it was. (And get ball in hand.) So intentional fouls still allowed but not useful to just move the cheese toward your hole.

yes "where it was" might not be exactly where it was. close enough is good enough, and if not, it leads to entertaining discussions

Its fixable. I've done a few like this before.
