I know the Ko's parents own(ed) a pool hall and they've all been playing since they were knee high to a grasshopper.
They play with Zen cues I think(not sure they make a carbon shaft)
Apparently Cuetec isn't cutting those SVB checks for everyone.

The tighter the wickets the worse it gets. Making the target smaller just makes the game slower/duller. it turns into safety filled 'cinch pool'. give me aggressive 'go for it' play on bigger pockets ANY day.

What is funny about it is that 90%, or more, of the fans who can't run the balls 90% of the time are the ones clamoring that the tables should be tighter.

If you have never ran multi-packs of 9-ball on a normal table, you don't need a tighter table...you just need to extend the number of games in a match if you think the game is too easy.

And the same people who claim that the breaks don't matter are the same people who advocate against winner breaks.

Go figure.

Question for JAM and Others

Matt_24
I’m reviving this thread to share that the legendary Buck passed away and is now spotting St Peter 9-6 in heaven. A friend from DC messaged me a week or so ago to share the sad news. If you go back in this thread I mentioned having some photos of Buck. I respected his wishes of never sharing them….but now that he is in heaven, I don’t think he would mind. They also enjoyed having these at his memorial. Now, I’m so thankful I took these and kept them safe all these years. It was a pleasure knowing you Buck, and getting to play pool with you in my DC days. Here is Buck in action, which is what he loved best. A true pool warrior.

New Pet Peeve in Pool

R
Aside from slow players, I now found something I dislike equally as much. After watching many of these pro events, I noticed on the last shot of each game how the players and referee stand around the table waiting for the cue ball to come to a full stop before they can start placing the pocketed balls back up. I think this is an absurd waste of time as they wait for the slow moving cue ball to come to a complete rest. Especially since there is already a referee on hand. The referee and or players should be allowed to use their better judgment and just start placing the balls back up when they know that the cue ball has a zero chance of scratching.
