Yes. I agree with every word you wrote. Now your name comes up for bid, they ask you if your doing an opening bid you decline.
They ask if anyone else wants to bid on you. Nobody does so you go in the pool.
Now at this certain establishment they say if you are in the pool you are not allowed to bid on the pool. Their rules not mine.
I’ve played in hundreds of tournaments with Calcuttas but they do theirs like this. Not my rules.

We all did that in Syracuse....but everyone just gets a buddy to buy the field that they were in. These guys weren't remotely likely to place anyway...more dead money for the winners.

I believe I read awhile back that years ago, down around Shreveport, Buddy Hall practiced one shot all day long at a pool hall. One shot. The same shot. All day long. For hours and hours.

Thoughts on this posters?

There are thousands of shots that are possible on a pool table. Unless it was a fairly routine shot it could have been a shot he would rarely see. However, this does sound like it could be somewhat helpful. As soon as I get over this winter time illness I might start a routine like this.

If that is the case, it could be something he dogged at a critical time. That would be very understandable.

Practice/warmup for me, I do have a specific shot that I shot more then others just to help get dialed in. There have been times where I have dogged a shot when it mattered and next time I hit the table to practice, that shot got at least an hour worth of troubleshooting.

Whenever I focused on a particular shot I would shoot it 100 times (at least) and do it in groups of 10 and record my results. After the 100 shots you should have a semi-reliable percentage of how much you are successful and you can also see if you got better at it.

Looks like balls are going in on the break on this one:

I just saw an ads from a buddy selling it. Let me connect yall two. He’s a trusted guy.

Is it unviable for manufacturers like Aramith to make small runs of older sets again?

There is obviously a market for balls like the Roman numbers, Card Ball/Poker Pool balls with suits on them, and so on. I mean if they see, that these old sets sell for a big amount second hand, won‘t they think about making a re-run and cash in on the hype? I have no clue how the balls are exactly made, but if they produced them once, they still should have moulds/templates or whatever is used to produce said ball sets again.

Just curious here…

Would trade you a brand new test hit purple Jacoby extreme jump cue. I love the Jacoby extreme but wanna try the mezz and if I don’t like it as well I’ll buy another extreme
