I was thinking Helmstetter. Would that be before Adams. The splinted 4 veneer points are very good. I can't imagine it was a cheap cue.

I would say unmarked Helmstetter. Model 86-10

Leave the leagues alone. The biggest one doesn't even go by game win/loss for match wins. It counts balls/innings. And you want to standardize rules? The leagues are not the target audience for serious pool. They are a night out of fun.

I would support this for my league. A foul is a foul. Most leagues already play fouls for moving 2 balls, which is hardly much different than moving 1 ball.

Is the WPA ready and able to govern the entire game of pool worldwide in the same manner as the USGA & R&A does for golf?

Are you familiar with the current international organization of cue sports? The WCBS, WPA, UMB, etc.?

The practical definition of that right now is someone with a WNT tour card.

Not even close to good enough.

See how the U.S.G.A handles the Rules of Amateur Status.

I disagree. One of my goals of the video is to try to get the US leagues to change (for all the reason clearly outlined in the video).

I agree that it would be a lot better if US pool players got on board with all-ball fouls, like the rest of the world, and it would be even better if all the US leagues used one standard set of rules. At least the ACS uses the WSR, although they currently use "cue ball fouls only".

Both Jaspers and Caudron have 30 years on him!

So maybe 'Long' match could go his way!
