A brace might help short term, but it won’t fix the reason your back is flaring from all the leaning. I got to the point where I needed a chiropractor for my low back, and Revival Chiropractic near Orlando was fine for getting me moving again, but the real fix was core work and changing how long I stayed bent over.

Has anyone seen this happen, opponent misses the spot shot to win, and player comes back from 7/-1 to run out? Would the same ball just keep being spotted at the foot spot during the run?

If it's still your inning and all the balls are down you spot.
Check out this incredible out by Chip.

If the opponent misses there are 8 balls on the table
The shooter needs 9 since he is starting at -1
After he clears all 8 a ball is spotted and he gets to shoot his game ball
If he started at -2
After he made the last ball on the table the 2 balls he owes get spotted
and he keeps shooting
They dont get spotted one at a time
Not sure if that was your question

Thanks for that. Guess he enjoys high deflection shafts then. Couldn't pay me to play with an i-2 lol.

These shafts have been out for over 15 years and they are definitely not low deflection.

Not sure why he would choose to put himself at a disadvantage. Maybe he just loves the company and their sponsorship. All I'm saying is, with his talent and skill, if he played with an actual low deflection shaft, he wouldn't miss as many balls.

But to each their own, I'm sure he will figure it out and become great.

if you're used to high deflection shafts the opposite is true. put an LD shaft in the hands of ko pin yi and he will miss more because he's used to more compensation

This is my favorite pool video ever: The 1982 Dayton Open, Earl's first big win. They're all there. You may have to suffer through a short commercial before you get to the video, but it's worth the wait. There's Earl, Buddy, Mike, Cornbread Red, Grady, Danny D. St. Louie Louie, etc., etc.

There's a few more of those videos by Porter with a lot of pictures I've been trying to find them I can't seem to find them but I'm sure somebody on here knows links to them.

Can you ask him for any closeups of the cushions and/or rail construction? Beggars CAN be choosers

Edit, also the leveling system.

I think a good guideline would be to take some kind of action if the players fail to finish a game each half hour. Don't wait for disaster to happen. Don't just tell them at 3 hours the match is done.

I wouldn't be that TD under any circumstances or any amount of money because the players sloth would be made his problem.

Time limit is one rule, it's clear, no debating it.

The one that's behind can make a come back play and win or he can lose.
Its not gambling, its tournament play.

Who is the Weird Al looking dude?

There are really only two shots in the 6-pointed star that tend to trip me up. Either I don't pocket the ball, or I get a bit out of line for the next shot.

The shot on the 2 to get back to the three in pattern 4 is where I usually err. The Knight's Move drill really keys in on that shot.

All it takes is a moment of inattentiveness to get out of line, though. Focus more than anything is crucial.

That, and a consistent stroke. This is the drill more than any other that showed me how much my stroke needed to improve.
