Well late again and only part way but I recall when the pole vaulting equipment changed. The flex in the shaft is a huge factor. Cole's knowledge was freely dispensed as I drove him. He stated that 2 cues made by the same to the same specs would still feel totally different to him.
"I wouldn't be able to shoot with that cue now." Is what he said of the cue I bought from him. A Joss made to his specs kept on file as he often put the cue up as a last barrel.

All things being equal I prefer watching Predator events for one big reason. They use traditional ball colors! Makes for easy viewing of matches, no squinting to figure out which ball is which. It actually makes a huge diiference! I enjoy watching a helluva lot more.

I prefer Predator events, because the prevailing camera perspective is slightly further away from the table, such you can sometimes see all of the player as he gets down on the shot.

I think the matchroom perspective of being so close to the table or directly above it, zoomed in like a video game, doesn't allow the viewer to appreciate different (or similar) methods used by the best players in the world to get down on a pool shot.

I do realize this is a bit nit-picky, but that is just a testament to how good the matchroom events are. I can't stand the black balls.

Back in the days before special cues we knew a top Lady player that could (No Shit) jump the oversized cueball over a full ball at 12 inches. Using her shooter. Well I did face her in the finals of a 2 day event. She won the first set but I got her in the last.
The local Ladies events barred jump shots totally on account of her skill. I recall the tears in her eyes when she told us of the new rule. We had arrived late to watch the Ladies event in the Seattle Tacoma area.

WTF?

are you too contemplating how the human body's skeleton structure can apparently assume a sorta backwards Z-shape form... and did you then too stand up from your seat to see if you could do it too

I don't "enjoy " missing but I want to still project an image of strength and confidence. Sometimes I chuckle at my mistakes.
"What are You on and why aren't you sharing?" Is a favorite question.

An electrical circuit would be run for the heating if the whole idea is a go.

When in my chair as my opponent shoots is a time to rest. Often my eyes, as the one hour drive has me looking into the sun.
Playing me first is not an optimal choice. An up hill both ways kinda challenge.
Resting the mind always starts with a quick unbiased ass says mint of , "how did it go?" Was it a miss? Or perhaps a safety. The missed shot needs an honest and direct conclusion to free the mind to get on with the battle. That is If I get another chance. Making a strong statement early gets weak replies later.
