This is one of the most demanding drills I’ve come across so far.
Getting 19–20 out of 20 is a real achievement.
Excellent practice for refining stroke mechanics — I’m very curious to see how much improvement I’m capable of.

Maybe a few more AZBilliards folks will want to break their teeth on this one too — just for fun and bragging rights.
Nice! I assume you accomplished this in 1 take? It is edited which is why I ask. 🙂

Has this drill made you a better position player?

who's making the easiest/quickest/best fitting current butt end extension?

Omega billiards was selling extensions for different cues that are stackable. Predator is not stackable. They want to force you to buy another butt cap if you want different size ext.

Ali Express also sells stackable extensions. I have one (bought from someone else but probably from there). They are cheaper than the Predator ones, stackable and made out of lightweight material (I don’t know if its CF or aluminum, but either way I like it better than the Predator).

FOULS IN POOL ... Everything You Need to Know

The rural club where I sometimes play has finally ditched their goofy ‘local’ rule set, and adopted pro rules for tournaments. But, application is still very relaxed, which makes me reiterate my opinion re: ‘double-hits’. I’ve always been a stickler for the official rules, but since it seems everyone not refereed has accepted ‘CB only’ as a standard, the ‘double hit’ rule should be another exception.
Regardless of the sound, feel, or CB distance/action, if jacked up and hit low, that should be the only requirement for avoiding a foul. If thus made universal, play would go more smoothly, with less controversy/dispute. Not making the effort to jack up would be obvious & hard to refute, and all the arguments concerning the other criteria would then disappear.

... but then you would be forced to allow obvious double hits (where some big advantage could be achieved) anytime a player "makes an effort to jack up." Not even the American pool leagues (not even APA) allow this!

FOULS IN POOL ... Everything You Need to Know

Under the "official rules" of pool, anything goes if you hit a legal ball 1st and pocket the intended ball in the intended pocket.

The problem with "bar rules" is they are different in every bar and in every part of the country, and they vary with the person you are playing, especially when the person has been drinking in the said bar. in other words, "bar rules" = "anything goes at the whim of the people playing."
