Would the pool community use crypto for betting on pool matches?

Most holders of Crypto and let's just call it Bitcoin think it will grow north of $500k in ten years. Talk to the Bitcoin maximalists and they say $1.5M. No serious holders are cashing in their crypto to gamble on pool.

Would you gamble on pool using stocks of Apple?

Is removing your glove a shark move?

I think it’s time this is discussed…

It’s hill-hill, ur opponent scratches on the break. Then walks over to his chair and removes his glove as if the outcome of the match is already determined.

How is this not considered dismantling of equipment, just like breaking down a cue, which is universally considered a forfeit?

I’ve seen that a number of times here at the INT open…. As well as one player who broke down his jump cue and put it in his bag while his opponent was still shooting.

That is a very minor "move" if anything. More frustration than trying to distract someone on purpose. I was at the International Open for a day, they have refs, if it was a punishable offence they would have said something, or the opponent would have. Don't be like an APA player and jump at every minor thing to win a game. "HEY HEY, he shot a 1 inch shot but DID NOT MARK THE POCKET, I WIN! I WIN!"

Looking for opinions on the different Predator butt constructions - C4+ vs regular maple core (true splices) vs 30 piece. Are there real differences?

Thanks.

P3 felt pretty different from their other butts, and the radial pin ones felt different from the quick release ones. Most of the other differences are due to the various shafts you can play with. P3 with a radial pin is probably my favorite Predator butt hit feel, followed by the roadline models with a radial pin.

Who is the best player of the last 40 years not to win a major event?

I do know that Jeff won a pretty big 9-Ball tournament in Port Angeles, WA back in the early 70's He also won everything in Wisconsin for years. I'm not sure about the Eight Ball tourney you are referring to. Jeff did play Efren in the finals of the World Eight Ball in 1995 at the Riviera hotel, but I'm pretty sure he lost that match.

It may have been that one, where they using a stripped 8 ball at that 95 event? I have the video on my computer, I think from AccuStats, I could have misremembered who won. Now that I am thinking about the match, it may not even have been Jeff Carter LOL

Gloves and Carbon fiber shafts

skor
My first session with the Rhino (first CF shaft), I played with no glove and it was fine.
Second session and it started to get sticky. I use glove with CF shaft and usually glove-less with wood, unless it's really humid, then I'll use gloves as most rooms don't allow powder these days.
Wood is easier to wipe down, CF gets sticky and needs alcohol wipes which is too much to handle during play.
Really, what works for you.
