Dynasphere Challenger Ball Set

S
Nice looking balls but I would stay with the Bronze / Vanadium (already have one) for $40 more as I like the 2 black triangle cue balls better than the big single red circle plus the uniform look of both ball suits having a circle around the number. And the Vanadium set goes a step further by matching every single ball in the set down to exacting tolerances (e.g., matching weights within ±1.0g), unlike the Challenger set.

What beginner pool tip do you wish you learned sooner?

"Vertabrate movement" means movement of the spine (vertabrae), right? How do you think that works in the stroke?

Vertabrate movement as in how movement evolved in all vertabrate animals. This applies to efficient movement in a horse or cheetah as much as it does to a human.

My question was "How do you think that works in the stroke?" I don't think "it's how movement evolved" answers that.

And again, how does slight rising of the elbow on the backswing make the stroke much more efficient? Do you know of any specific drawbacks to using a pendulum stroke with fixed elbow?

Old Matches - How important is commentary?

B
Frosty said:
Truthfully, he’s a little hard to take. Pat had him paired with Mark Wilson for a couple of years of the International Open and it made the matches unwatchable with the sound on. I don’t think, at least for me, having him in the booth alone would make a difference, unless liberal amounts of duct tape were applied to his mouth.

Mike was one of the greatest players there ever was, but his ego and inability to NOT talk about himself makes him unsuitable for commentary. YMMV
