I appreciate the all the tips and warnings.
This will be the sixth year in a row my wife and I have traveled to Europe.
Italy, Belgium and Spain were the first.
Then Türkiye and Greece.
Always spend a few days in Germany also.
We have a pit stop in Chicago to baby sit two of our Grandchildren and off to Paris Saturday night.
Always try and walk through a few pool rooms on my trips.
Is this an 8 ball league?
Is he racking for you or himself?
What does the pattern seem to do?
If your league has written rules, is how you are supposed to rack mentioned?
If the “cheat” is a run out player and you aren’t it really doesn’t matter. If you can’t run out with an open table in 8 ball or 9 ball don’t focus on your opponents racking or anything else he’s doing focus on being a better player.
I don't think that's a good analogy because an automatic transmission is actually easier to use and nowadays can shift more efficiently. While a carbon shaft doesn't actually make you play better. All the cue ball knows is what speed/tip position it was struck with.
I live in New York and so far have only seen bar cues warp. Several of my buddies are playing with 90s Meucci shafts still.
It's true. Carbon does not make you a better player. I am the proof of that but it is easier to maintain and does provide more kinetic energy transfer than your old school wood shaft. Today's wood shaft have CF insert in them and are pretty darn good compare to the 90s maple shaft.
Of course not but they can lose many games without being able to affect the outcome , which isn’t the case in tennis. In a race to 4 there is a big chance that 2 of those games you have lost and yet you haven’t made a mistake. Not possible in tennis
