I had to try again:

AI: "On a XenForo forum, activating the 'follow' function for another user primarily allows you to: See their activity in your news feed: This makes it easier to stay updated on the contributions of specific users you are interested in"

Don't find a "news feed" but there is a "new posts" with only the following filters ("followed" are not included).
  • Unread threads

Cue Design Websites

M
The thing is that you need to understand the tooling and cutting methods and the tools themselves to make the various shapes.
Then you need to understand the inlay process, and often the buildup processes in order to create the pattern you want on the cue.

You COULD invent any pattern, one that could only be created/routed on a machine no cue builder could afford, and where does that leave you ?!?

Why Pool Leagues Should Embrace “ALL BALL FOULS”

DynoDan
There should be only one set of rules for any game. It is just a matter of how casual the competition, and thus how much cheating is overlooked. Beginners never know all the rules. When I began, the only penalized foul we kids recognized was a scratch.
As play becomes more serious, players typically also become more knowledgeable, and thus more conscious that no amount of cheating should be tolerated. The 45 degree/double-hit league rule may be a good way to avoid arguments, but even then, I would only play that shot as a last resort, since I know it is cheating.

The biggest tournaments in the US are not promoted that well at all.
The smaller local tournaments you'll never hear about unless you play at the same place regularly.
Membership? Those are not as common in the US as they are around the rest of the world.
Promoting? Very little to almost none.

A couple years back a local pro 3c player and I were looking for a female with interest and talent that we could train to help grow the sport and potentially send overseas. lol that never worked out. the best candidates could not average .5 at best. 3c is hard af.

Why Pool Leagues Should Embrace “ALL BALL FOULS”

The rules also specify if you grounded your club and the ball moves for any reason, it is a penalty even when you did not move or swing your club after grounding the head of the club behind the ball, albeit still motionless and merely touching the turf. The only exemption is on the putting green where this rule does not apply. There is zero flexibility in applying the rule about grounding a club and never even moving it...totally motionless…..and the golf ball moves. Even if a wind gust unexpectedly moved the golf ball, you just got hit with a one stroke penalty if you grounded your club.

Watch Jack Nicklaus films of his golf tournaments. Nicklaus always avoided grounding his irons or woods preparing to swing. Aside from perhaps accidentally letting his golf club make contact with the turf of ground, Jack hovered his golf clubs in the air barely above and behind the golf ball to avoid grounding his club just in case the golf ball inadvertently moved because of wind or any other reason automatically invoking a one stroke penalty.

If my memory is correct, there are only 25 rules in golf but the decisions book is hundreds of pages long covering rules interpretations and decisions. In reality, there is zero, nada, zippo, squat, zilch chances of the rules of golf allowing a player to circumvent any rule. For example, a golf ball falling off a golf tee at the tee box is specifically covered as well as pretty much anything you can pretty much imagine. It’s why the decisions book is so friggin huge because it pretty much covers anything that can occur during a round of golf complying with the established rules. It is a well thought out set of play requirements.

The point is golf made a rule to make the game more fun and less strict. Which is ironic considering the arguments in this thread and the number of rules in golf
