It’s the Indian not the arrow.

You can’t play anywhere near Fedor no matter what kind of cue you use.

Instead of thinking about cues, you should spend your money on lessons.

Good players can win with crooked cues off the wall.

Ok now that we’ve got all that out of the way, it looks like Fedor was playing with a different cue at the Derby Bigfoot matches.

Got any info?

You forgot. "You don't need that cue when a Schmelke will work just fine."

gentle acceleration also means the speed isn't changing much in the area you are attempting to hit so that does work.

That's, uh, on cruise control. And yep it's consistent yet simple was straight pool skills. The off the chandelier shots were fun in the cheap ring games. Cheap lessons.
I paid for mine. Bar table 8 ball at a buck a game.
That Old Cork Sucker never made a hard shot! Grrr!
I give lessons, now.

I wish I could like this more than once. I MOST DEFINITELY shoot MUCH BETTER with MY CUE, period. I will do perfectly fine shooting without MY CUE, but I am 1000% much more comfortable shooting with MINE. Brian

Since '18 Molinari is no longer linked to Predator. The brand is owned by GDM, same outfit that owns Gabriels,Dynaspheres. They have their own shop in Belgium

I wasn't aware of that, knew they had a connection in the past and assumed it was still present. Good info, thanks!

Yup. It's a good stream too. Can't figure out how to get to the match results to see who's still playing? This has always been a pain to follow because of the redraw after each session.

you can go to : https://digitalpool.com/tournaments/2026-derby-city-classic-9-ball-banks/matches

That summary helps. Scroll to the bottom to the current round and it will basically show you who is left minus whoever got a bye, if any.

Of course looking at it right now it isn't showing the Rd 7 results. Some of the matches were played as I was watching Filler vs Roberts last night. Those rows were there last night, not sure why they aren't there now. Same old Derby.

update: Now they have Rd 7 up and are showing the byes. LOL

Snowstorm over, suns coming out.
Time to focus on Pool.

the longer the length/distance of the period of no acceleration/constant speed of tip, the easier to have the proper speed when you hit your target/object ball.

so acceleration through the stroke is wrong. and taught by most of the non knowledgeable teachers that just regurgitate what they heard in the past.

it is uneven deceleration that is catastrophic near the cueball that you cannot control. so you need to learn the balance.

One huge disagree is
"so acceleration through the stroke is wrong."
Well depends on what you mean.shrug.
My best performance comes when I can launch the cueball (missile) precisely.
The pause is a final wellness check at the back in preparation for the launch.
Launch according to martial arts training always starts with the footwork. From the ground up . The conductor of the performance er uh the planing to execution decisions must be uh well commitment comes to mind. The leap of faith.

Yeah, there are quite a lot less, but it seems to bounce around from year to year. I'm guessing many are tired of the bs scheduling, grind, location and time of year, and close to other events on the calendar.

For what it is worth, there was a comment by Upstate Al on the recent Turning Stone stream about a bunch of players, I believe he said Euros, not going to attend Derby something to the affect of because "what happened to Shaw", or as he says it "Shore". LOL They were talking about how a lot were not going to attend.

Aside from getting lost in Connecticut on his way back to Scotland, what happened to Shaw?
