This started as a thread about those that 1 stroke the ball and turned into a pivot point discussion for those who subscribe to that foolishness.

Thoughts on those that 1 stroke or 1 stroke then fire? They trust in themselves and their training and don’t THINK, about pivot points, BHE or other associated nonsense that hold players plateaued because they can’t get out of their head and stop thinking when they play.

Just a little update on Lukas Fracasso-Verner. Turning Stone XLII started 2 days ago and ends tomorrow. This is Lukas' first event since the accident. He won his first 3 matches, lost his 4th to Tom Cayer, and then won his first match on the losers' side just a little while ago. That most recent match was on the streaming table. Lukas looked pretty good. He did miss several shots and fouled on a couple kicks. And apparently he can't break as forcefully as he used to, and may have to use the bridge more to reach shots. But it is really good to see him back and playing decently. I think the event is now down to the last 16 players. If Lukas wins the event, maybe a way will be found for him to play in the Mosconi Cup.

Pretty much anywhere you drive in the USA has motels that say "Pool" on their signs.

And I'm disappointed every time.

They're everywhere, even in many bars. Pool is the second biggest indoor sport in the country and the top players are sports heros. A lot, lot different than here.

Years ago I stayed at a cool hostel in Toronto, they had a bar box in the lounge. I didn't get to play. I would guess that most of these tables are not maintained well.

There was a time that I used to travel often to Hong Kong for work, I always stayed at this small boutique hotel, no pool table but there was a great pool hall a few minutes walk from it. I spent most of my free time there.

I say post them up! When you get visitors to play in your home room they inevitably might be up past your bedtime and might have excess money to win/lose and need to know where to stay and play safely.

When meeting someone I used to act like I was doing some serious double knuckle gold mining then stick the hand out for a shake and keep it out. The looks on some people's faces was priceless but most eventually shook hands. Custom and courtesy are hard to ignore!

A 9' table is common in hotels here in the PI. Never a bar table!
