These V10 results seem off to me. A couple of questions:

1. What did the CB look like after 3 or 4 shots? Was the chalk mark still visible? I ask because the green V10 I’ve used leaves no visible marks after after extended play (unlike say Master) - consistent with your own V10 tests of 2 years ago where you hit three shots and all three chalk marks were barely visible.

2. Where did you get the V10? There is counterfeit V10 out there.

These Predator events are creating zero buzz.

Rather than burning money on these events, Predator would be better off sponsoring the WNT Tour and letting the experts Matchroom host events and promote.

This thread has 2 pages.

Fairly sure Florida Open got like 24 pages and Arizona Open got 18 pages.

The Predator Pro Billiard Series is a different offering, and rather than comparing them, I'd rather celebrate that we have both WNT and Predator offering great pro pool content. It's a good time to be a pool fan. It's no secret that I attend a lot of WNT events, but this year, I knew I wanted to check out the new Predator offering, so I attended the Las Vegas Open and it was excellent. I am leaning yes for attending the December Predator PBS event in Jacksonville, too. The fan experience at a Predator event is not quite up to the standards of a WNT major, but the pool offering is just great.

Predator has a solid management team and I'm sure they are putting their money where they think it will have the biggest impact. Predator's PBS is a new offering, still finding its footing, but I feel they have hit the ground running. This week, Predator products will get great visibility in Vietnam, and this will surely generate a lot of sales there and elsewhere. Those sales will be the measure of whether Predator gets its money's worth in producing this event, not how many AZB pages it generates.

Of course, perhaps you are right that AZB will be less engaged, but it isn't easy for an event played in Asia to generate maximum fanfare in America, where the time difference makes watching the matches live very difficult.

I'm looking forward to a great week of pool.

Every person I've gambled with at last pocket 8-ball considers this a loss of game to intentionally foul by shooting the 8.

You are playing 9-ball and find yourself in a situation where if you make a mistake, you will leave an easy runout.

The lowest ball on the table is the 5, but you are hooked, so you intentionally foul by nudging the 6-ball behind the 7-ball into a position that forces him to have to play a safe because he now can't run the table.

Is that considered a foul or loss of game?

I know how we played these situations in gambling games years ago, but I am trying to see how people do things now.

I did comment to Youtube also. IMHO blue and green V10 are totally different. I don´t like blue one because it is not "clean" like Pyro or green V10. So what i did seen from your results I think you might used blue?

You might be in a position where you want to take an intentional foul and hardly move the cue ball at all. (Think 14.1 or One-Pocket.) Just tapping the top of cue ball with the ferrule makes that easy to do. But a legitimate stroke in that situation might unintentionally result in moving the cue ball to your opponent's advantage. Nerves can be hard to harness in pressure situations.

so he taps with his ferral now what okay its a foul. thats what he was doing anyway.

what are you going to do start a fight. not pay off. its up to you to say something if it is going to look wrong. not let it happen and then call it.
how can you be so sure there wasnt some forward motion. get real.

and why does someone in the pool room have to follow wpa rules. and do you want to lose a customer for life over something so trivial.
