Variations on "Playing the Ghost"

Break a rack of 15 balls and play rotation. If you miss keep shooting, and mark your misses on the wire. Try to get personal best for 10 racks in a row.

This is more fun than keeping track of different points for different things happening. Plus if you run a full rack you feel like you accomplished something. It makes the other rotation games feel easier.

this has always been my position on the matter. i'm not big on the rake em and start over. but maybe that is laziness. straight pool is also great even though it doesn't promote big stroke / cb travel practice

John Schmidt runs 820

The same arbitrary standard could easily be applied to Mosconi's actual record, but he gets a pass. Likely for the sake of nostalgia. His record being set on an easy NON-PROFESSIONAL caliber table is just glossed over. It's more fun to discredit the accomplishments of Schmidt because he's not well liked. The whole conversation about these high runs are TOTALLY clouded by personal animus against Schmidt. It's obviously clear if you're just a bit objective.

the standard is also incredibly peculiar. mosconi could travel on brunswick's payroll, had name recognition like no other player (except fats, but he lacked the ability), in an era when 14.1 exhibitions was considered interesting enough to get a viewing audience. not only is it impossible to replicate today, he was obviously also pretty alone in this position in his era.

That's odd. I am currently only out of clear black soft, clear black super soft, and snooker tips. I have plenty of regular black medium and a few clear black medium left. Going to be restocked by the end of the month. Early November if customs hits me. kamuitips.com should have what you're looking for! When I get restocked I'll also have the new ACE cowhide tip in medium which is the rumored tip you're referring to.

How many cues is too much?

I did a search on Renaissance Wax. I must have more than a dozen posts on this topic.
It is important to steam treat any nicks, dents, scrapes or scuffs on your wood cue shaft.
Based on the severity, it might take a dozen treatments or more if the shaft is damaged.

I can walk you through the physical process and you can call me 559-977-6944 (PST).
Meanwhile, I found these that should get you started. Rennaisance Wax comes in two
sizes (65 ml & 200 mil) and is available thru the Internet. I always buy it using eBay.

Sir, I seem to associate wax with stickyness but having never used it before, could you explain to me where the slickness comes from by applying it..?

And many thanks for offering a phone consultation on the subject, that is very generous of you and I wish for your generosity to return to you a thousand fold...
