I'll let yah all know how it went after two events in one of thee nicest rooms in the US.
If it doesn't work I'm fine with that, but I've seen pool players behave in the finals, cheering the player who just beat em, never seen that EVER.
The finals becomes a group of 6 winners playing for the entire pot with a breaking and shooting order.... the other 4 players will be sitting and watching and talking to each other if shooter misses/sit down next in order up.
Competitors sitting together doesn't happen in pool, it happens every game at the poker table, poker tables create friends and such. Pool does NOT offer that for the players or the game, it's always me against you.

thank you..

So, from the first 3 videos I provided You can't ascertain if I'm hitting the CB 'Hard/Force' or not?

.... *nevermind*--I should have realized you had covered it somewhere--I was looking for a diagram and found your document on what I was talking about. I was thinking about the 90° Rule as being like an optional way to determine the cue ball path, and since I was reacting to the video, I didn't go search separately right away.

I had found this PDF, https://drdavepoolinfo.com/bd_articles/2004/march04.pdf

but here is the page regarding the rule, https://drdavepoolinfo.com/faq/stun/90-degree-rule/

Sorry I didn't realize you where asking about the 90° Rule stun/tangent line. Yes. I have used that before.

Good examples showing how to use it to aim carom and kiss shots can be found in the videos here:

Is that a black dot shaft?

I just described what I think I know:

The CB doesn't know anything about the stroke or grip - it only "feels" the resulting speed of your cue's mass at impact.

Thanks. The post I quoted said "Sept 31," a date that doesn't exist, hence the question.

Sorry I didn't notice. Thanks for pointing it out. Fixed.

At least the date error gave the thread a little more attention.

I hope that translates into more entries.

I never mentioned the word 'Grip'!

Might be a fun game, but the motivating premise underlying your argument is false. A typical player can always beat a much stronger player with weight. That's why handicapped tournaments and leagues have gotten so popular.

This is just another attempt at leveling the field, but without (at least yet) the proven track record of existing rating systems, be it Fargo, APA SL, or others.

But TX Hold'm success is because the handicapp is the game itself, one that offers a CHANCE for a non pro to win with out Weight.

Great shots as always.

There is no 9’ new diamond on the planet that is 8000 USD MSRP. (To be 5k under the GC7 13,000). 10 years ago, yes. Not today. DCP just bought one 3 months ago. Maybe he will write what he paid.

Brand new 9-foot Diamond Professional.

$11,323.45

Ordered last October.

Delivered on my birthday - 28 February.

WPA pro rules, roll out after the break, BIH all fouls.
With this rack structure it's very difficult to make a ball.... wing balls go 6 rails and land in the kitchen.... if you've never played it ones perspective can not be formed, because it looks too easy to an experienced pool player.
Most players looking at a flow chart know when they are going to play an opponent they can't beat or have never beat.
In SR9B, each round, I shuffle player numbers (deck of cards)....You never know who your next opponent will be till I turn the card #s over. and call out table numbers.
Having 5 less balls on the table make ones chances of pocketing a ball diminish.
Until you've played and seen it, it's very difficult to to understand this rack structure, it looks simple, but it's not.
With alternate brake, racker is allowed to move the 9 up/down on the spot area looking for the spot where his opponent doesn't make a ball.
Also, your opponent would NEVER give you a loose rack, if they do.... the wing balls go in the corners.

I want a game that gives a weaker player a great chance at doing better than a good player or being able to get in the cash.
