I have never seen it done like the video showing a player putting the ball in his pocket. I don't think that should be allowed because growing up learning to play at a young age, the rule is don't touch the ball. There is "watch the hit", a common lexicon in pool, so putting the ball and hiding in it briefly for an innocent cleaning/waxing/polishing shouldn't be allowed.

Remember the opponent has to touch the ball and I wouldn't want to handle a cue ball that was just down some guy's pants. Pant pockets are dirty as it is.

Ball in pocket should have already raised a red flag.

you can't have played pool long if you never seen someone cleaning a pool ball in his pocket.. which 99.9% of the time is to get rid of chalk

Amazing how many folks claim they knew about it and never uttered a peep. Kind of feel they're to blame as much as those doing the waxing for not bringing this to light before. It's shocking, actually.

we don't know if yapp would have started this "peep uttering" if it wasn't for part of the controversy being caught on the main TV broadcast

The test is similar to a 7th grade civics class

Maybe from 40 years ago. Modern civics doesn't teach what you would need to know. My wife went through the naturalization process about 8-10 years ago. I helped her study for it.

At least it'll look like he made it.

Yup, it’s probably not going to be perfect. I’ll probably try and fail to combat taper wave by hand. It will likely roll off since it was a tired house cue to begin with.

however, its going to make my nephew really happy that his uncle made him a pool cue.

seriously, dude, go find something else to do. nobody wants your negative attitude here.

you are no longer welcome in my thread.

Hello Jim,did you ever get the furniture style table that you were looking for? I have a Brunswick Royal Knight and a Peter Vitale Lord Nelson as well as a Tsunami model

I haven’t yet. Our house has been delayed a bit. I can get a black GC4 for around 3k but my wants me to get a furniture table. I keep looking at the Royal Knight on eBay that’s near Orlando but I think 10k is way too high. A while back I saw an AE Schmidt table that reminds me of a Kling, it was around 3k. If I can locate a good table at a reasonable price I’ll buy it and store it till our house is finished. Plus I want to send the rails to Jack Zimmerman to get the pockets tightened up.

I thought there were a couple of posters here that were going to show us how to make this shot with video available?? I am still eagerly waiting. I don't think it can be made (with a standard cut shot) but I sure would like to be proven wrong.

I remember hearing about an 8 pack 10 ball Kaci moment before his injury.

That was on Alex….he lost the lag in a race to 8…..and stayed in his chair.

I've got a new Valley 40x80 non coin op table.
Rail speed seems fine. Even with cheap cloth.
The rail thickness is not that of a 9', but it's the norm.

I bought an early 70's Valley and put Penguin non pro-cut rails on it, it plays very nice. It has a coin mechanism that takes a single quarter laying flat. I tell everyone I lost the key and I don't have any quarters so I get to make a little money when they feed the table when people come over to play.
